First-of-its-kind center features artifacts from local Holocaust survivors By Joseph Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
A first-of-its-kind Holocaust museum in the Pacific Northwest opened its doors to the public Sunday, Oct. 18 in downtown Seattle. Located in Belltown on the corner of 2nd Avenue and Lenora, the Henry and Sandra Friedman Holocaust Center for Humanity aims to share the stories of local Holocaust survivors through artifacts and exhibits that explore prewar Europe through the Holocaust to post-war liberation.
The museum is named after Islanders Henry and Sandra Friedman, who served as donors toward the opening of the center. Friedman said for him, opening the Holocaust Center was 30 years in the making. He initially thought of such a museum while visiting the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. with other survivors in the 1980s. “I said to my wife, ‘Washington, D.C. is OK, but we are over 3,000 miles away. If we want to do something, we have to do something in Seattle,’” Friedman said. Laurie Warshal Cohen, who works in special projects and development with the center, said the efforts of Friedman and fellow Islander Magna Schaloum speak-
ing in schools in the ‘80s led to the founding of the Holocaust Center. “They were concerned about Holocaust denial,” she said. “It got to the point where we wanted to have a space and our supporters wanted us to have a space. Our concept here is we want to tell the story of the Holocaust through the artifacts and pictures of survivors. They’re local, they’re real. These are real people.” For Schaloum, an Auschwitz survivor who passed away last June, it was important to speak out so people could say they had seen and heard from a Holocaust survivor. Her son, Jack, is a member of the Holocaust Center’s Speakers Bureau and carries on his mother’s legacy by sharing her story. “I think it’s not only important for the Jewish next generation to see it, but also for non-Jews to come and see exactly what happened,” he said. “It’s not just a museum for Jewish people per se;

The general election is coming up in two weeks, on Nov. 3. With roughly 200 people in attendance, the local candidates weighed in on a variety of topics and fielded panel questions both from moderator Bill Radke of KUOW and audience members. The candidates for City Council have different views on growth, regional collaboration and advisory votes. The incumbents, Jane Meyer Brahm (Position No. 1), Bruce Bassett (Position No. 5) and Debbie Bertlin (Position No. 7), as well as Wendy Weiker (Position No. 3), advocate for working with regional partners on win-win solutions, for abiding by growth targets allocated by state law and for maintaining a representative democracy while respecting the public’s right to petition their government. The challengers, Dave Wisenteiner (Position No. 1), Tom Acker (Position No. 5) and Traci Granbois (Position No. 7), as well as Salim Nice (Position No. 3), argue that Mercer Island is a unique community that must find creative solutions to ensure that it

Tracy Drinkwater and Bill Hochberg answer questions at a candidate forum on Oct. 14 moderated by Bill Radke. grows responsibly, though Granbois’ campaign lately has focused more on improving transparency at City Hall. At the Oct. 14 forum, the four, along with unopposed candidate Jeff Sanderson, said they would support an advisory vote on citing the Mercer Island Center for the Arts (MICA) in public land in Mercerdale Park. Acker said that the former Hines location would be a better spot for MICA. All candidates have said that they oppose the idea of a bus intercept on Mercer Island, that they want a beautiful and functional Town Center and that they will work to maintain the quality of life, parks and open spaces and sense of safety and community that Islanders enjoy.
School Board candidates Ralph Jorgenson, David D’Souza, Tracy Drinkwater and Bill Hochberg discussed the McCleary decision, bell times and standardized testing. All candidates expressed support for an elementary world language program and for addressing the optout rate for tests like the SBAC. When asked about the threat that the McCleary decision posed to MISD, Drinkwater and Hochberg talked about the idea of a “levy swap,” and said they would fight to make sure the district is able to receive resources from the community.

Looking forward, the Planning and Design Commissions will now convene together (known as the “Joint Commission”) for the next phase of work: recommendations for actual Town Center development code language and directly related updates to the city’s Comprehensive Plan. The Joint Commission’s first meeting was Oct. 7, and used the Interim Report as a guide to bring members up to speed and discuss the scope of work. It also included a public hearing. The second joint meeting is at 6:30 Oct. 21, at City Hall.

City briefs Island profiled for sustainability achievements The City of Mercer Island was one of the main feature stories in the latest edition of Cityvision magazine published by the Association of Washington Cities (AWC), for the climate advocacy and carbon footprint work undertaken by its sustainability program. Efforts of several partner cities and organizations are also highlighted, as they coordinate their climate work through the King County-Cities Climate Collaboration (K4C). For more, contact City Sustainability Manager Ross Freeman at ross.freeman@ mercergov.org.
This election will determine whether we get a Town Center lined with four- and fi ve-story buildings, or whether we can have thoughtful, balanced development that does not overcrowd our schools, clog our streets, and turn the Town Center into concrete apartment canyons. The incumbent candidates (and Wendy Weiker) believe these over-built growth plans are just fine. The challengers do not.

To the editor
Drinkwater will bring balanced experience to school board We unequivocally endorse Tracy Drinkwater for School Board Position No. 3. As a teacher, tutor, technologist, businessperson, parent of highly capable and special needs daughters; career MI volunteer for schools and youth organizations; and an educational consultant advocating for children with exceptional needs – Tracy has the most balanced experience to bring to the board. Her endorsements from philosophically diverse island professionals, teachers, school board members, community leaders, and city council members speak to Tracy’s superior qualification and her readiness to serve. Tracy is many things, but one thing she is not is a politician – which matters in this election. With key leadership actions on funding, teacher retention and instruction, the new board needs to quickly form and get to work for island students. Tracy’s work in, for and with our schools makes her more effective immediately. Tracy is a deeply inclusive and thoughtful professional — responsive to the community, collaborative and deliberative in her decisions. Mercer Island schools, students and families need Tracy Drinkwater for School Board.

We must protect Mercer Island’s incredible neighborhood character and quality of life. In order to do that we must ensure we elect dedicated, compassionate and independent leaders who will listen to our concerns. Jane Hague is the only candidate for King County Council who fits that description. Jane’s opponent is a sharp partisan, loyal only to party bosses. Jane has the support of business, labor, Democrats and Republicans. That speaks to her ability to work with everyone to get results.

platform? We have Mayor Bruce Bassett to thank for leading the team that defeated tolling. Critically, Bruce gained the support of regional leaders in that battle. Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, and several other cities joined Bruce in a statement against I-90 tolling. The No Tolling campaign effectively rallied thousands of Mercer Island citizens in opposition. Bruce rallied the leadership representing over a million additional regional citizens in opposition. Bruce has made a difference for us on this issue and many more. Richard Benster
Bassett changing what’s special As a 16 year resident of Mercer Island, I regret witnessing the transformation of our community from a quiet, spacious bedroom community to a mini-urban area with increasing population density and huge homes on small lots. The current island city leadership majority will blame the “Growth Management Act” that Gov. Gary Locke (D) signed into law back in the 1990s, but their enthusiasm for high-rise condos/apartments, small lots and increased population density for Mercer Island underscores philosophical leanings. If you like high-rise buildings on Mercer Island, vote for Bassett and his friends. If you like huge houses on small lots, vote for Bassett and his friends. If you like the prospect of tolling on I-90, vote for Bassett and his friends. If you like the prospect of increased population density on MI, vote for Bassett and his friends. If you like MI politicos playing footsy with the leftists in Seattle and Olympia who seek to change the character of our community, vote for Bassett and his friends.

Adequate: Jane Meyer Brahm & Wendy Weiker support some additional protections, but believe the City Council should make almost all park decisions. Inadequate: Bruce Bassett & Debbie Bertlin favored a parking garage on Kite Hill, selling part of Clarke Beach for $11 a square foot, and an arts facility at Mercerdale.

LETTERS | FROM 6 great ideas planned for Mercer Island.
John Nelson
We need pragmatic leaders After living on Mercer Island for 16 years and being graced with a succession of city leaders who have demonstrated a commitment to inclusion and building a strong overall community, I am concerned for the future of our island. The politics of divisiveness and extremism so prevalent over the last several years in the other Washington have infected our local scene. The messaging of a very vocal minority and their slate of candidates running for city council is eerily similar to what we hear from the most extreme elements in Congress. Theirs is a no compromise, in your face style, that values a narrow ideological and exclusive point of view, with little regard for how to actually get things done. We are being offered misinformation and unrealistic promises on a variety of issues that do not take into account the complexity and range of interests engaged in the decision-making process. I value representatives who are pragmatic and work toward a common good. That is why I am supporting Bruce Bassett, Debbie Bertlin, Jane Meyer Brahm and Wendy Weiker. They have each shown that they can build consensus, listen to a variety of viewpoints and balance the needs of varying constituents and stakeholders in coming to good and reasoned decisions. Deborah Perluss
Candidates should take stand on MICA An important issue in the city council election affects the very heart of good city governance. Several candidates have noted that they are in favor of allowing an “advisory vote” on whether the city should lease land in Mercerdale Park to the Mercer Island Center for the Arts (“MICA”). It is fully within the council’s authority to determine how city land is used. Council members have access to substantially more information than most voters, and they have an obligation to do a thorough job gathering sufficient information to make informed decisions. Requiring a public vote every time the council encounters a difficult or controversial decision is an irresponsible delegation of council authority. Further, a vote on MICA would only be advisory. The council is not obliged to follow the result. Advocates for MICA would have to redirect their efforts from raising money for a beautiful building for our kids, families and seniors to campaigning, resulting in a substantial delay in the process, a substantial increase in the cost of the project and a devastating delay for Youth

Theatre Northwest. Further, it is utterly unfair for MICA to be singled out as the subject of an advisory vote. Why aren’t other controversial issues such as the bus turnaround and approval of building projects downtown also the subject of a public vote? Council candidates should state their position on MICA during their campaign and then vote on the issue if and when they are properly elected to office. Robynne Parkinson

Granbois asking right questions It is disappointing to see how much of our recent elections and news have been about potential decisions that could encroach on our particular sense of place. Decisions that could change our sense of community on Mercer Island where last month an impromptu tribute to Sept. 11 developed at the South End Fire Station. I want this to stay a place, not just a bridge. I am curious about how I-90 will affect our community. I am curious about Vision Mercer Island. Traci Granbois, running for city council, is asking interesting questions about what makes a community work, why make a place a home, and how to make it all balance. I suggest we follow her example and take the time to question the easy answers and make sure the decisions we are making as a community keep our community home. For example, in a Sept. 13 letter, the writer says that Traci lacks problem solving skills and that she did not want to place a plaza on Walgreen’s property. This is actually Traci’s exquisite sense of fair play. She objected only because the site is private property, not something the city should be building on without first consulting the property owners. This is a judicious perspective. For that
Richard A. Axell 1928-2015
Richard A. Axell (Dick) died peacefully, with his wife Nancy by his side, on Wednesday, September 30, 2015. He was born in Moline, IL on January 30, 1928 to Arnold Theodore Axell and Signe Elvera Carlmark Axell. Dick graduated from East High, Denver, CO in 1945 and went on to earn dual degrees from the University of Colorado. He was president of Sigma Chi and chosen by his CU peers to be Cane Bearer at graduation. Dick’s 35 year career with Boeing began in Seattle in 1953, working on the B-52 flight-test program. In 1960 he transferred to Cape Canaveral along with first wife Marilynn and their three young children. During his time there he was assigned to the missile testing program. They returned to the Northwest in 1964 where he was involved in the Lunar Orbiter moon mapping program, and the Mariner Venus Mercury program. The remainder of his career was spent working on various classified projects and wind turbine development. Dick was held in high esteem by his many friends and co-workers. His passions included spending time with friends and family, sports (go Hawks!), fishing, and travel. After retirement, Dick and Nancy traveled abroad and took countless road trips throughout the US, realizing his goal of visiting all 50 states - twice. They loved spending time on Mercer Island, Camano Island and in Estes Park, CO. Dick is survived by his beloved wife of 37 years Nancy Axell, his children Karen Axell (Paul Neigel), Kris Axell (Cheryl), and Karla Axell (Chuck Blumenfeld), and grandchildren Jonathan Axell (Molly Arkin), Matt Winter, and Jeff Axell. Dick is also survived by stepchildren Cathy Fliris (Bill, dec.), Darci Swanson (Eric, dec.), and Kelly Togesen (Hans), as well as grandchildren Brendan Fliris (Judy), Jesse Fliris (Renee, Kash, and baby Scarlett), and Gretchen Swanson. He was preceded in death by his parents (Arnie and Vera), sister (Kathryn Axell), and stepson (Jim Covington). The family would like to thank the staff of Covenant Shores Health Center for providing such kind and compassionate care. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 10th from 2-5pm at the Museum of Flight, Seattle, WA. Memorial contributions in honor of Dick may be made to the Museum of Flight Attn: Development Office 9404 E. Marginal Way S Seattle, WA 98108 or online. Dick enjoyed a good laugh, a great story, and celebrating his Swedish heritage. His big heart was reflected in his brilliant smile and he would break into song to celebrate any small moment. He cherished his family and treasured his time with them. Love you Pops - we will miss you dearly. 1441194

LETTERS | FROM 7 ing decision before the City Council is whether to approve the lease for the proposed Mercer Island Center for the Arts (MICA). To be clear, I strongly support MICA. MICA will provide much-needed space for youth to congregate, and for adult and youth arts programs. MICA will enhance Mercerdale Park, bringing new outdoor performances and visitors, without impairing the circular walkway or the skateboard park. But that is beside the point. Mercer Island will be electing new councilmembers soon who will have to vote on the MICA lease. However, some candidates are calling for an advisory vote on MICA. That is a mistake. Future councilmembers instead need to study the facts, listen the community, and make their views of
MERCER ISLAND REPORTER
MICA known to voters before electionday. Holding an advisory votes over every contentious issue is an expensive, inefficient way to govern. Advisory votes are not free. King County charges the city tens of thousands of dollars for each advisory measure — our tax dollars. Moreover, advisory votes don’t always resolve issues: consider Seattle’s multiple “no” votes on the viaduct. I believe in representative democracy; it has served both our country and our city well. I intend to vote for representatives who will make informed decisions for me on contentious issues without hiding behind costly advisory votes. Suzanne Skinner

Serving for 11 years as editor of the Mercer Island Reporter, in leadership positions with the Chamber and the Boys & Girls Club, as president of the Sister City Association and as volunteer in the schools, she has done the heavy lifting that Islanders expect of their elected officials before they run for office. Her opponent has lived on the Island less than three years and has virtually no community involvement during that time. He needs to slow down, learn more about the Island, volunteer for boards and commissions and put in the time to prove he really cares about the community. By being demanding, we have been successful in getting good leaders who have done great things for our city. Jane Meyer Brahm continues that tradition and deserves our support in her reelection bid. Dave and Susan Moffett
Speaking up for MICA Here are several corrections to an Oct. 14 letter: MICA is not a “private group” but instead is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation formed for the purpose of building and operating a center for the arts for the benefit of the community. This public building, to be built primarily with individual and founda-
tion donations and grants, will replace the abandoned recycling center at Mercerdale Park. The footprint of the building will be approximately 24,500 square feet (0.56 of an acre) and will encompass a portion of the unmaintained wooded area south of the recycling center. MICA has submitted a draft lease to the city and has been working with city staff on the language of the lease, which MICA hopes will be presented to the City Council soon. Even if the council approves the lease and it is signed, the city will retain the right to approve the final footprint and design of the building and to approve MICA’s operating plan and budget. The building cannot and will not be built without these approvals. If construction proceeds, during and after construction, MICA will be the owner and operator of the building and will remain solely responsible for its operations and budget. Opponents continue to say that MICA is proposing to lease the land in exchange for $1 per year, but in fact MICA is committing to provide many public benefits to the city, which we have listed in many forums and here: http://www.mercerislandarts.org/ .

It will be open to school groups five days a week and open to the public Wednesdays and alternate Sundays each month. Friedman called the opening of the Holocaust Center “a dream come true.” He said helping with its opening served
as a final tribute of his appreciation for what America did for him as a Holocaust survivor. “Unfortunately, anti-Semitism is still around, bigotry is still around, hatred is still around. This will be a place where people can come study and learn,” Friedman said. “We have to learn from history. This will be a place where old people and young people can share their vision for our future in America.” For information about hours of operation or to reserve tickets for one of the Holocaust Center’s opening events, visit www.holocaustcenterseattle.org.

MERCER ISLAND REPORTER
City Council Position No. 1 Occupation: Retired journalist; author Community involvement: City Council for five years, active in PTAS from MIPA to MIHS, founder of the Mercer Island Sister City Association, on board of Mercer Island Chamber of Commerce, organizer of Art Uncorked, author of “Mercer Island History: From Haunted Wilderness to Coveted Community,” member Jane Brahm of the Mercer Island Historical Society. Why running? I love this community and want to use my experience, knowledge, leadership and commitment to preserve and improve the qualities of the Island we all love: the small-town feel, hundreds of acres of parks and open space, excellent schools, sense of safety, feeling of community and the quality of life we enjoy. Biggest issues? Many of the issues we face are interrelated and result from the pressures of growth that the entire region is experiencing, but key issues are transportation (light rail with its challenges: the bus intercept proposal, parking, closure of the center roadway, loss of mobility), Town Center and the city budget. Goals? I did not come onto the council with a narrow agenda or to address a specific issue facing the city. I will work on the broad range of issues our city faces, for all our citizens, young and old alike. My goal is a well-run city that effectively and efficiently provides the services its citizens need and want.

Occupation: Director of Business and Competitive Strategy at Microsoft Community involvement: Captain of the Microsoft Charitable Cycling team, MI Boys & Girls Club assistant basketball coach, team captain of the Children’s Hospital of Colorado Fundraising Cycling Team, Cubmaster/ Den Leader for Boy Dave Scouts of America Wisenteiner Why running? We need someone who can navigate the complex budgeting and regional negotiations and who is experienced with business transactions and sophisticated financial issues. We need fiscal responsibility. Moreover, we need someone who will fight for the Island. Biggest issues? Carefully planned growth; low crime and personable, small town service; the state’s best schools; transparency in government and fiscal responsibility. Goals? To prioritize schools, fire, police, social services and infrastructure, and to grow thoughtfully and keep Mercer Island authentic. I am worried about the direction the incumbent council is taking our little island and the only way to speak out is to step in. The island is at a decision point where it can lose that authenticity and suffer from some of the same problems that so many Seattle neighborhoods have seen.

I care about this community and know I have the skill set to be effective as we work together to navigate the challenges and opportunities before us. Biggest issues? The decisions community leaders make in the next few years around public safety, land planning and transportation on our island and relative to our place in these regional systems will have significant impacts on Islanders for decades to come. All of the issues our community are facing really are about three things: taking care of this island, taking care of each other and taking care of our place in the region. Goals? I hope to improve community engagement, enhance customer service and expand advisory board responsibilities. My priority as a councilmember will be to deliver essential community services in a cost effective way while thoughtfully planning for our Island’s future.

vibrant and walkable Town Center, resolving our transportation plan for the next decade and beyond and ensuring we have a city budget to support the most important services and initiatives. Goals?

I propose creating an Office of Economic Development to work with developers, property owners, small businesses and restaurants, and citizens to make progress in vitalizing the Town Center.

Mercer Island is currently facing unprecedented regional growth and financial pressure. The direction we are heading threatens to fundamentally and permanently adversely alter the character of our Island. Our Island needs council members who will advocate first and foremost for the Mercer Island community. Biggest issues? Managing GMA, “density,” and excessive height zoning, assuring HOV/SOV access, addressing traffic congestion, inappropriate pressure to accept “transit oriented density” and ill-advised bus-rail transfers, inadequate parking, fiscal responsibility, keeping parks and open space and emergency preparedness. Goals? Effective, thoughtful, competent, articulate, fact and data-driven representation and leadership, for Islander focused needs and interests ... supporting advisory votes, with increased openness and transparency [and] in compliance with both the letter and spirit of the law.

Why running? We’ve accomplished a great deal in the past few years and the future vision is coming into focus, but there is much to be done to complete the process - a Town Center vision translated in to code, negotiation with Sound Transit and WSDOT around Light Rail and loss of mobility, solving our parking concerns and access to transit concerns. Biggest issues? Town Center/growth, transportation (local and I-90, roads and transit, parking) and MICA. Beyond these hot button issues there are the more long term concerns, [including] the environment, budgeting and public safety. Goals? Successfully complete Sound Transit/Metro/WSDOT negotiations and the Town Center visioning process and code revision with an outcome that garners solid community support and gives us a clear path forward.

Why running? Mercer Island can’t afford to operate like Mayberry any longer. We are squeezed between two of the largest cities in Washington and need to more appropriately work with regional players and advocate for local issues, [and] support responsible and planned growth. Biggest issues? Local transportation and commuter transportation; density and development, updating building codes that protect the community; Sound Transit implementation and loss of mobility; protection of public spaces; allocation, field utilization and maintenance for the physical development of Island children; fiscal and financial planning issues related to the projected budget deficit; and educational funding. Goals? Update building codes, collaborate with Sound Transit, prevent the lowering of service standards, implement a community scorecard to be shared with the public and secure the Park and Ride for local residents only.
School Board Position No. 1 - uncontested Occupation: Engineer & Technology Executive Community involvement: MI Schools Foundation co-president; on the superintendent’s advisory committee, and advisory committees for technology and diversity; chair of the MIHS College and Career Readiness Program; co-chair of the 2014 School Bond and Levy Committee; created after-school computer programming courses for Island elementary and middle school students, and participated in many art and science curriculum review forums. Why running? Collaborative participation on the school board is a natural progression from my extensive involvement in our school district. I have enjoyed listening to the feedback from the community, teachers, parents and students, and see opportunities to help keep our district energized and moving forward.

Biggest issues? We have schools that are rated among the best in the state yet the world our children will enter continues to evolve as it becomes increasingly global, digital, and more competitive than ever. Clarity on the new learning opportunities we enable will better inform how we invest David our resources into staff, D’Souza training, legislative advocacy, capital projects and senior leader hiring. Goals? To materially raise the bar on the opportunities we enable in our schools for all our children to become well-rounded, creative, independent thinkers and problem solvers ready for the modern world.
Occupation: Strategy and Operations at Microsoft Community involvement: Council for four years, chair of Conservancy Trust, board of MIPA and Emmanuel Day School, member of Stanley Ann Dunham scholarship selection committee, served on seven City and regional committees including King County’s Growth Management Debbie Bertlin Planning Council and the I-90 sub-committee. Why running? We live on Mercer Island for the quality of life it provides – great schools, safe neighborhoods, parks and a sense of community. I pledge to preserve these values as the region around us grows. I am known as a person who “gets things done,” embraces diverse opinions, and delivers results to Islanders. Biggest issues? Ensuring that we negotiate successfully with WSDOT, Sound Transit and Metro [on transportation issues], building a vibrant and economically viable Town Center designed for Islanders, by Islanders, continuing to partner deeply with our School District to ensure maximum resources go into the classroom and that our children are healthy mentally and physically. Goals? I pledge to preserve the quality of life we enjoy. I will continue to serve with intelligence, integrity and inclusiveness, listening to and representing all Islanders, responding to opportunities and challenges through constructive debate, and ensuring Islanders have access to the information they need.
Occupation: Small business owner; attorney services Community involvement:Town Center Stakeholder Group member, volunteer for MIPA and Farmers Market, University of Pennsylvania alumni interviewer, Wills for First Responderslegal clinic. Why running? The Mercer Island comTraci Granbois munity and its wellbeing are the primary reasons for my decision to run for City Council. Biggest issues? This election is about changing the manner in which the City Council balances regional demands with local Island interests. The two can be compatible, but regional level policies applied uniformly throughout is not in the Island’s or the region’s best interest. Transparency, or lack thereof, is clearly an issue the Council needs to address immediately, [as well as] fiscal responsibility. We need to prioritize spending accordingly and forecast for the future of Mercer Island. Goals? A local government where we have nothing to hide - transparency in decision making and operation of all functions, a tighter budget with lower taxes to create a more affordable place to live – a place that is affordable for all, from young families starting out to older residents on fixed incomes, and a local government that listens to residents and h as a pulse on what citizens actually want, because we have sought input in a meaningful manner.

A note on endorsements Over the past few weeks, many of our readers have asked if the Reporter will be endorsing candidates for the Nov. 3 election. This year, we have elected not to do so. This past month, I have had the opportunity to both moderate and c o-sponsor a number of city and county council level candidate forums here on the Eastside. J ust last week, the Mercer Island Reporter was proud to co-host a candidate forum with the League of Women Votersat the SJCC. While each of the candidates came from different backgrounds and certainly held different perspectives on many important I sland issues, there is a common thread that unites them all- the desire to serve their community and to make it a better placeto live, work and play.We at the Mercer Island Reporter certainly applaud that ethos. Here at the Reporter, our ethos has been to better serve the Island by devoting greater time and effort toward getting to know each candidateand to educate our loyal readers about them. With your vote comes the individual responsibility of increased knowledge and information a bout the candidates and the issues they will face. We feel that with our mission to educate our readers about the candidates, we have a greater responsibilitynot to endorse, but to b e a v alued and impartial r esourcethat will empoweryour vote with knowledge. -William Shaw, Regional Publisher

Evens ties for top honors MI volleyball claims first place in medalist tournament KingCo with win over Lake Washington at MI senior co-medalist By Joseph Livarchik
with Liberty’s Ben Graham at 3A/2A KingCo tournament
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
After suffering their first loss of the season to their Bellevue rivals two days prior, the members of the Mercer Island volleyball team found themselves fighting for first place atop the 3A/2A KingCo standings when they took on Lake Washington Thursday night. It was a strange position for the previously undefeated Islanders, who hadn’t lost a set of volleyball since they opened their season Sept. 8. Even stranger was to see Mercer Island playing from behind through much of the first two sets. “We were playing very tentatively and we were just sort of playing to not lose,” Mercer Island coach Susan Rindlaub said. “We talked about it in between games and I said, ‘We have to

Last dance | Yeadon, Islanders eye special finish In final season, MI senior hopes to lead volleyball team to postseason success By Joseph Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
Since she first stepped foot on the volleyball court for Mercer Island, Jemma Yeadon has faced great expectations. Joining a loaded team her freshmen year, the only freshman on a varsity squad that included older sister Lorial Yeadon and standout Sara Lindquist, Mercer Island gunned for its first-ever state championship. It didn’t happen that year, and although a state title would come a year later, it’s still something that Yeadon thinks about. “That team on paper had the best skill set that I’ve seen throughout my four years [at MIHS],” Yeadon said. “We had high expectations, and I’m still bitter to this day that we didn’t win state.” Yeadon downplays expectations. But with the talent that an athlete of Yeadon’s caliber brings

Now in her senior year, Yeadon hopes to lead the Islanders to a special finish in her final season playing with Mercer Island volleyball. And for her, the personal expectations are just as high as they’ve ever been. “People thought we
weren’t going to do as well losing 10 seniors and we still did well and won state my sophomore year,” she said. “And then we lost Sara and [the thinking was], ‘We’re not going to do as well.’ But every year, we still come back and we still do great. I think this year, we have just as high of expectations, if not higher, than we did my freshmen year.” Yeadon is a one-of-a-

year, says she can jump and reach a height of 10-1, meaning she can get her fingertips just over a regulation 10-foot basketball rim. As anyone who has ever seen Yeadon perform can attest, her spikes are imposing and downright lethal. Yeadon says she’s never radared how hard she hits, but attributes that ability to work on her core strength. “When she came on the team her freshman year, the immediate things we noticed were her power, her athleticism and her jumping ability. It was exceptional, and it was already exceptional when she was a freshman,” Mercer Island coach Susan Rindlaub said. “But I think the thing that stood out to me was just her pure joy when she played the sport… even though she had been playing from a young age, you could just see her passion and her joy.” With Yeadon on the team, the Islanders have gone on an unprecedented four-year run. Mercer Island only lost three total matches during her freshman and sophomore years,
with Lindquist and Yeadon leading the Islanders to the program’s first state championship in 2013. Mercer Island has reached the state tournament every year of Yeadon’s high school career, placing no lower than seventh at the tournament. Rindlaub said much of the success over the past four years has been in no small part due to Yeadon’s contributions. Part of it, she says, is due to Yeadon being a strong front-row and back-row player who consistently plays amazing defense. Even last year while battling a shoulder injury, Yeadon switched to libero, or defensive specialist. She had never played the position, and the Islanders stormed out to an 11-0 league record. Rindlaub says another part of Yeadon’s leadership is that she’s always working hard and always hustling. “I don’t think people understand how hard she actually has worked,” Rindlaub said. “Even though she’s an extremely gifted natural athlete, to get to the level that she has, she’s put in a ton of time. Especially last year knowing her injury, there were so many times when

Bellevue beats Mercer Island boys water polo By Carol Gullstad
Special to the Reporter
In a much anticipated rematch, Mercer Island Water Polo squared off against nemesis Bellevue on Oct. 14 at Woodridge pool. It was a tight game through three quarters, but ultimately the Islanders fell 12-6. Mercer Island previously lost to Bellevue 12-8 mid-September. The Islanders charged out of the gate strong, putting one in the net on its first possession when Ford Witman scored off a Sammy Vacca pass. Bellevue’s Sam Geffe tied it up at 5:30. The Islanders answered back with a Witman tip-in to the bottom right corner at 4:47.
Connor Vacca made it three for the Islanders with a skip shot at 13 seconds remaining on the clock to close the first quarter 3-2. The second quarter was all Bellevue. The Wolverines scored three goals while shutting down the Islander offense. Bellevue went into the half leading 5-3. The Islanders regrouped and scored the first two goals of the third quarter to tie it up at 2:10. The Wolverines called timeout at 1:50 and successfully neutralized Islander momentum. Bellevue’s Zack Rossman scored at 1:36 and Sam Geffe connected at :06 to put the Wolverines back on top 7-5
going into the final period. Bellevue rattled off four straight goals in the fourth quarter until Islander Sammy Vacca landed a 5-meter shot at 1:37. Bellevue bagged the final goal of the game at :50 to finish as the winner 12-6. Ford Witman led the Islanders with three goals, Hunter Peshkin had eight saves on the game. Cameron Hayes led the Wolverines with three goals. The Islanders have three remaining league games and two tournaments before entering postseason play.

VOLLEYBALL | FROM 16 Islanders a half-game advantage over the Kangs for first place in their division. It was the Kangs (8-3, 8-2 in KingCo) who held the half-game lead heading into the contest, and Lake Washington appeared to hold a mental edge as well playing on their home court. Except for an Islander ace to start the match, Lake Washington never trailed in the first game. The Islanders (11-1, 8-1 in KingCo) were without setter Natalie Robinson, who was out nursing an ankle injury. “We missed Natalie in a lot of ways,” Rindlaub said. “She’s who we’ve been practicing with all season. Both Jane [Gormley] and Eden [Singh] did a great job tonight, they set really well. But it’s just the rotation and all the plays that you do. It’s like not having your starting quarterback.” Mercer Island took a 3-0
lead to start the second game, but the Kangs came storming back to take a 9-5 advantage. The Islanders crept back to tie the game 14-14 before claiming the lead for good in the 25-19 set. “I thought we came on really strong. We had a lot of energy in the first set, and we started making some errors in the second set that really set us back,” Lake Washington coach Stephanie Kuhn said. “It was really hard to come back after that, especially with Jemma [Yeadon] on the other side, who’s a real threat.” Yeadon was everywhere for the Islanders in the final three sets, delivering spikes and getting crucial kills to make sure the Islanders didn’t suffer their second consecutive loss. Mercer Island fought off a late Kang rally to take the third set 25-22, and played in front for most of the closing 25-19 set. Yeadon finished the match with 22 kills, 12 digs, two blocks and an ace.
“She did what Jemma always does, she’s such a competitor,” Rindlaub said. “She got very few sets in the first game, so she couldn’t really get into the action. But once she got started, there’s just no chance, some of [the balls] she hit so hard, you know no one’s going to touch them. It’s fun to watch. She led the team. She kept them together, got them pumped up and did a great job.” Adara Hamilton had seven kills, two aces and three digs for the Islanders, and Kelly Behrbaum posted five kills. In Robinson’s absence, Eden Singh registered 24 assists and six digs, and Jane Gormley posted 12 assists and three digs. Mercer Island dropped its nonconference match to Eisenhower 3-1 Saturday, Oct. 17 at MIHS. The Islanders took on Sammamish after the Reporter deadline Tuesday, Oct. 20. They face Interlake at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22 at Interlake High School.

All Island Band Night Roughly 800 band students from across Mercer Island took the field at Islander Stadium to perform at this year’s All Island Band Night on Friday, Oct. 16. An annual rite, the event featured performances from band students ranging in age from 5th through 12th grade.
Hundreds perform at stadium in annual Island tradition
YEADON | FROM 17 she woke up at 5 a.m. to go to some kind of physical therapy before school in order to rehab it, or she would go right from school to practice and then to physical therapy. There were so many extra hours that she put in, whether it was rehabbing injury, or going to extra hitting clinics or working out on weekends. She’s always trying to get better.” “She’s a great leader,” said starting setter and teammate Natalie Robinson. “She’s great at giving other people confidence. She’ll never tear you down on the court or anything, she’s always bringing people up and always pushing people to do their best and be the best that they can be. And then just her sheer ability is always a good a game-changer. Whenever she gets a kill, it just turns around the momentum.” Yeadon said she’s learned what type of leader she wants to be from those who led the team when she was a younger player. “It’s tough to be in that tight situation when the tough games really mat-
ter. I want to be calm and confident at all times and I want people to be able to look to me and [think], ‘It’s OK,’” Yeadon said. “I think Sara Lindquist was like that for me. She was definitely a player I could always look to and [think], ‘She’s smiling. If she’s smiling, it can’t be that bad.’ I definitely want to be that for the other players because that really helped me.” This year hasn’t been without adversity for MI volleyball. The Islanders have had to deal with Robinson missing action due to an ankle sprain, a stretch that has seen the Islanders suffer their first two losses of the season (Yeadon was also out of action for one of those losses). Though the team expects to have their starting setter back for the postseason, Rindlaub equated losing Robinson to a football team losing its starting quarterback. Yeadon echoed that sentiment, though she added that adversity wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for a team with such high hopes.
“We need to know how to handle a loss and we need to know what it feels like to lose so that we don’t let that happen when it really matters,” Yeadon said. Rindlaub said in her mind, volleyball is the ultimate team sport because “you can’t ever just have one person touch the ball and you can’t win a game with one person or two people.” That being said, the Mercer Island volleyball coach acknowledges Yeadon as a rare talent to have in her program. “There’s still going to be lots of great players left when she graduates, but she is an exceptional player who doesn’t come around very often and so I definitely have a desire to make the most of [Yeadon’s senior season], and not just for her, but for all the girls who are playing with her,” Rindlaub said. “I think they know that this year, we have a chance to do something really great and [Yeadon] is a big reason why. “Any senior you have, whether it’s Jemma or any

On the court, Jemma Yeadon (above far right, with teammate Tess Hendelman) says she wants to remain calm and confident at all times. “I want people to be able to look to me and [think], ‘It’s OK,’” she said. other senior, you always want them to leave with the best memory possible. It’s not always about winning, but just doing whatever is the best that your team can do, and to accomplish something great that they can be really, really proud of.” While a state championship may be the goal, regardless, Yeadon says
going out with the current group she’s with makes this a fitting year for her final season. “I’m really glad that I’m finishing this year with this team because I think we have so much potential,” Yeadon said. “I get emotional about it because I don’t want to leave. I’ve been in this program since I was in sixth grade, watch-
ing my sister through. It’s going to be sad to say goodbye. “I’m so grateful I get to finish with such a strong group of girls, and I think I look to them as much as they look to me. I know that if I get down a point, there’s someone to back me up, which is really nice. I’m definitely glad to finish with them this season.”

MI playoff hopes dashed as Islanders fall to Kangs QB Adam Long throws for 4 TDs, rushes for another as LW cruises. By Joseph Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
The members of the Lake Washington football team knew exactly what was at stake when they took the field against Mercer Island Friday night at Islander Stadium. For the banged up, reeling Islanders, the game was one last chance to keep their postseason hopes alive. For the Kangs, it was potentially one step closer to clinching a postseason berth. With their collective eyes on a playoff spot, the Kangs made the most of every opportunity that came their way. In the end, they gave an effort worthy of postseason competition. Lake Washington quarterback Adam Long threw four touchdown passes and rushed for another TD as the Kangs came away with a 49-28 win. For the players and coaches along the Lake Washington sidelines, the victory signified loftier

The Kangs beat the Islanders, 49-28. things to come for their team. “We did something really big for our program. We’ve been .500 the last couple years, so this season was really big for us to kind of take that next step to the next level,” Long said. “5-2 right now, it feels really good.” Lake Washington (5-2, 3-1) turned three first-half Mercer Island turnovers into 21 points to put the Islanders away early. Kang defensive back Colby Coco picked off Mercer Island
quarterback Griffin Kane on the second play of the game. Six plays later, Long broke into the end zone on a sneak from one yard out to put Lake Washington up 7-0. Mercer Island (2-5, 1-4) drove into the Lake Washington red zone on its ensuing possession, but once again saw the drive end on a turnover, with Caleb Rickels intercepting Kane to send the action the other way. On the next play, Long connected with Jake Wikel on an 81-yard touch-

down pass down the right side of the field to give the Kangs a 14-0 advantage. Jake Steele gave the Kangs a three-touchdown lead in the second quarter, capping an eight-play drive with a seven-yard touchdown run. After the Kangs forced a Mercer Island three-andout, Long needed just one play to connect with D.J. Mann on a 59-yard touchdown pass. Long threw three of his four touchdown passes in the first half as Lake Washington took a 42-7
lead at the break. “That was the best game that [Adam] has played all year. He really just stepped up,” Lake Washington coach A.J. Parnell said. “He was challenged last week, didn’t play his best and [tonight] just did an awesome job. Our line played incredible, just being able to run the ball and every time Adam was dropping back, he had plenty of time.” Mercer Island would go on a 21-point scoring tear of its own in the game’s final period. Backup Islander quarterback Cole Miller ran for two touchdowns, his second TD a 99-yard scamper on first-and-10 from the Islanders’ own 1-yard line with 31 seconds left in regulation. But the damage had already been done. Mercer Island coach Brett Ogata acknowledged the game was a must-win for his team that had been clinging to its playoff hopes. “Our kids battled, it’s just one of those deals where sometimes you get beat, and Lake Washington beat us tonight,” Ogata said. “There was nothing our kids did wrong, it’s just what Lake Washington did to beat us. They played a great game.”
D.J. Mann and Jake Wikel each finished with two touchdown receptions for the Kangs. Jordano Mark finished with 117 yards on 18 carries, rushing for a touchdown for the Islanders. Next, Mercer Island will take on Bothell at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23 at Pop Keeney Stadium.
Game notes Former Seahawks quarterback and Ring of Honor member Dave Krieg was in attendance for Friday’s game. Krieg was in town for last weekend’s Seahawks game and gave a pre-game speech to the Islander players. “He just said, ‘Hey, high school football is great.’ He played college, he played pro, but the thing he remembers the most is high school football,” Ogata relayed. “He went off and named 20 of his teammates and said, ‘I remember everyone that I played with; it’s something you never forget. These are memories that last a lifetime, so have fun with it.’” Mercer Island also celebrated Senior Night and its annual All Island Band Night. “I’ve been to Mercer Island band night multiple times and it’s the real deal,” Parnell commented.

Police Mercer Island woman pleads guilty to defrauding immigrants OCTOBER 8 By Reporter Staff
Federal officials say a former Mercer Island woman has pleaded guilty to wire fraud in connection with stealing money from immigrants. Department of Justice officials said in a news release that 61-year-old Dalia Ivette Singh, who is also known as Dalia Pena of Clearwater, Florida, made the plea in U.S. District Court Wednesday.
Officials say she defrauded more than 40 immigrants from the Caribbean and Latin America from 2008 to 2011. Singh reportedly charged some families up to $36,000, claiming she had a contact in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services who could provide immigrants with legal status in the United States. Officials say no such contact existed. “This defendant preyed
on victims whose dream was to become a U. S. citizen,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes. “Although she held herself out as someone who could help, she never did, and instead took advantage of the victims’ church affiliations and networks of friends to enrich herself.” Under a plea agreement, Singh will pay restitution of nearly $223,000. She will be sentenced in January.
Library news KCLS unveils updated plans King County Library System (KCLS) Director Gary Wasdin led a packed public forum Tuesday, Oct. 13 on the Island library remodel prject. He walked the audience through the floor plans, showed examples of new furniture, carpet colors and an architectural rendering of the meeting room updates, stressing that he wanted to keep the current look and feel of the library and minimize the closing time to around one month. Construction should begin in the first quarter of 2016. The revised layout shows plans to: add charging stations, update the teen area, add an iPad station and cozy furniture
to the children’s room, update the restrooms, remodel the meeting room with a new window, add new tables, chairs, carpet and paint, replace the white boards, update the tract lighting and repair or replace doors and cabinets. KCLS also will install an automated materials handling system, and keep the exterior drive-up book drop. The floorplan and scope is on the Mercer Island Library Board website and the KCLS webpage.
