Rep. Tana Senn advocates for pay equality as the Washington State House of Representatives convenes for floor debate on Feb. 3, the 24th day of the Legislative session.
Equal pay legislation passes state House By Katie Metzger
kmetzger@mi-reporter.com
Rep. Tana Senn’s (D-Mercer Island) bill to address the gender wage gap passed the House on Feb. 3 with bipartisan support and a 56-41 vote. She won the “Legislator of the Week” award last week for her work to ensure equal pay for women. Senn’s bill, the Equal Pay Opportunity Act (HB 1646), would ban employers from retaliating against employees for discussing wages and salaries and prevent the use of pay secrecy policies. It’s not about pay transparency and publicizing wages, but shining a light on the pay gap issue and allowing women to find out if they’re being underpaid, Senn told the Reporter.
Martin Weiss 425.417.9595 www.MartinWeiss.johnlscott.com
martinweiss@johnlscott.com
“America is a nation founded on the ideal that all of us are created equal,” she said. “There are various reasons why women are paid differently than men (because they don’t negotiate or choose lowerpaying fields), but even if you eliminate those, there’s an inexplicable difference in pay.” Her bill is an amendment of an existing equal pay law that was passed in 1943. The state’s equal pay law has not had major updates since it was passed. On average, a working woman in Washington earns just 77 percent of her male counterpart, even when their seniority, experience and education are comparable. This income disparity is dramatically worse for women of color, who could make as low as 46 cents on the dollar.
“Whether it’s conscious bias or unconscious bias, it is there,” she told the Reporter. “If you want to have equal pay and you don’t even know that you’re being paid unfairly, then how can you attack the problem?” This discrepancy has a cumulative impact that affects women and families of all ages, Senn said. Older women who have been underpaid their whole lives end up with less in their savings, Social Security, 401ks and pensions. They are twice as likely to live in poverty than senior men, Senn said. “It affects everyone from my 10-year-old, who is well aware of the wage gap … all the way up to senior women,” she said. More than 20 states already have laws preventing pay secrecy policies, and President Barack Obama has also taken steps to try and close the wage gap. California and Oregon passed similar laws in 2015, allowing employees to have

Four students from Medina Elementary School bridged a generational divide and made life a little cozier for some furry feline friends at the Seattle Humane Society. On the Martin Luther King, Jr. school holiday, fifth grade students Mei Lan Uyeno, Oviya Krishnan, Shreya Vommi and Serena Cai visited Covenant Shores on Mercer Island with nearly 200 fleece templates in tow to create blankets for kittens living at the Seattle Humane Society. Working with a handful of residents, they organized, tied and double knotted 120 blankets, which were made using donated fleece material and repurposed fleece blankets. The students call the service project “Share Some Happiness.” It’s part of the Destination Imagination after-school club, a

Head of state transportation’s firing leads to Democrat backlash By Ryan Murray
rmurray@bellevuereporter.com
The Republican-led state Senate’s denial to confirm Lynn Peterson as secretary of transportation late last week has led to a flurry of remarks from the left side of the aisle. Peterson served as secretary of transportation for three years, since Gov. Jay Inslee appointed her to the job shortly after he took office. Republican lawmakers in Olympia — led by chair of the Senate Transportation Committee Sen. Curtis King (R-Yakima) — voted not to confirm her as secretary on Feb. 5, effectively firing her. Republicans said the move was a result of wasting time and taxpayer

That has to change.” Equal pay is not just a women’s issue, but also an economic issue, she said. Washington’s middle-class families would be lifted up by pay equity for all of
Washington’s working women and mothers. “If you put more money in [women’s] paychecks, it usually goes directly into the economy,” Senn said. The State House of Representatives approved HB 1646 in 2015 but it did not reach the floor of the state Senate for a vote. The bill again goes to the Senate for further action. Senn said she is sending a bipartisan letter to Sen. Michael Baumgartner (R-Spokane), chair of the Senate Commerce and Labor committee, to ask for a hearing and voting opportunity.

said in a statement. “If there was any doubt remaining, it should be clear now — harline, D.C.-sytle gridlock has arrived in our Washington.” Clibborn said after reaching a bipartisan agreement to invest $16 billion in the state’s transportation system just a session ago, “it is shocking and deeply troubling to see Senate Republicans undermine that work by removing the head of the agency responsible for carrying it out.” Seen as the figurehead for several controversial projects, Peterson was defended by Jaxon
Ravens, Washington state Democrats chair. “Lynn Peterson was appointed as the secretary of transportation nearly three years ago, and her nomination passed through Committee in an unanimous, bipartisan vote last year. The sole reason Republicans brought her nomination to a vote today is to build a political narrative for the 2016 election,” he said in a statement. “This shameful act impedes the state’s ability to do the people’s business and keep people safe. Less than a year after Democrats
and Republicans came together to pass a $15 billion transportation package, this political maneuver only undermines the ability to deliver these much-needed transportation projects ontime and on-budget.” King County Executive Dow Constantine took a moderate tack toward the firing. “I want to thank Secretary Peterson for her service to the people of Washington state. Both WSDOT and the Sound Transit board of directors will greatly miss her analytical mind and collaborative spirit,” he said.

A Valentine to remember To the editor
M
y most memorable ValenOn Faith tine has nothing to do with candy, flowers or a romantic dinner. But it has everything to do with hearts. My dad’s heart to be specific. It was Valentine’s week 1990. I had invited my retired pastorfather to room with me at a clergy GREG ASIMAKOUPOULOS conference in Chicago. It was a great week. I flew to the Windy City from my home in Northern California and my dad traveled from Wenatchee. For the first time in my life I related to my dad as a peer instead of merely a son. We attended seminars and worship services together. Over deep dish pizza we talked about marriage, parenting and ministry. Our week together was more than I could have imagined. At the end of the conference we packed up, paid up and sat down in the hotel lobby awaiting a shuttle to the airport. It was then my dad suffered a massive heart attack. Medics rushed him to the nearest hospital. I didn’t know what to make of the fact that it was called Resurrection Medical Center. I hoped for the best. Before the end of the day, the resident Catholic priest gave my dad last rites. I was worried. By the next day doctors determined my dad needed quadruple bypass surgery. I sat in the hospital waiting room praying and reading Scripture. As I flipped through the pages of my Bible, I found a folded handwritten note. I immediately recognized my dad’s scrawl. On hotel stationery was a written reminder of how proud he was of me and how much he loved me. Tears crawled down my cheek.

Did Litzow put kids’ futures first? Why does our 41st District state Sen. Steve Litzow not support our schools? This week he stepped in as committee chair to block a bipartisan effort in the Legislature to reduce class size, expand all-day kindergarten and meet a courtordered deadline for action set over four years ago by the state Supreme Court. In 2012, the Washington Supreme Court found that the state Legislature was not meeting its most basic constitutional obligation to fully fund our state schools. Legislators were given five years to fix their chronic underfunding. Last year, the Legislature was found in contempt, failing to even come up with a plan after four long years. At the last moment possible to make a commitment to adequate funding, what did Steve Litzow do? Did he put our kids’ futures first? Did he push to meet the minimum funding required by the Constitution? Did he convey his constituents’ desire to fully support our schools? Or did he follow the voices in the Republican party that seek to undermine the courts and politically posture in a show of raw, political power? It doesn’t matter. We know what he did. And we will not forget. In 2017 when he next asks to be rehired, it is his political gamesmanship and disregard of our best interests that we will remember. Bruce Becker Mercer Island
State funding for Alzheimer’s shaping up Most people in the U.S. are recognizing the challenges presented by Alzheimer’s disease. While the funding to find a cure is woefully short, that may soon change. In 2010, Congress unanimously passed legislation that set a goal of finding a treatment for Alzheimer’s by 2025. But, funding for the National Institute of Health’s (NIH) research on dementia has not increased to the $2 billion a year that scientists say is necessary. At present, there are 107,000 state citizens living with Alzheimer’s, and the number will grow to 270,000 by 2040 (per the new Alzheimer’s state plan). Alzheimer’s is already the most expensive disease in America with $226 billion being spent on care. Without
successful research, it is estimated that costs will rise to $1.1 trillion in 2050. Clearly, we must invest more in research, and soon. Thanks to bipartisan House and Senate negotiators, the NIH appropriations bill that became law in December includes an unprecedented $350 million increase for Alzheimer’s, bringing the total to $936 million. Thank you to Rep. Adam Smith, Sen. Patty Murray and Sen. Maria Cantwell for supporting Alzheimer’s funding and voting for this bill. World scientific leaders now recognize Alzheimer’s as a top priority for increased research that has the potential to rewrite the future. The big boost in NIH funding voted in December will soon launch new ground-breaking Alzheimer’s research. Melinda and Barry Franklin Mercer Island

The award recognizes schools in Washington state whose practices reduce waste and protect the environment. Lakeridge was honored for its excellence in pillar 1, reducing environmental impact and costs. The school
first formed a Green Team six years ago, spearheaded by parent Nancy Weil and teacher Heather McLyman, who now leads the team. Today, Green Teams exist in every elementary school in the district. Lakeridge has taken several steps to become more earth-friendly. Students recycle and compost leftovers and trash in their lunchroom with the assistance of student volunteers. The school also replaced light bulbs throughout the building with more

The school’s Green Team also teaches students about environmental stewardship in their daily life. “Our goal is that this becomes second nature to students, so when they grow up and join the world they’ll
make that connection,” Weil said. “In the six years we’ve been doing this, the world’s outlook has changed on global warming. We have received full support from the district and spread these practices to every school in the district,” she added. Mercer Island School District is one of several school districts that also partners with King County’s Green Schools Program.

INFORMATIONAL REPORT:
Andrew E. Monson
Andrew Monson, 85, of Rancho Mirage, California passed away Friday, January 29, 2016. He was born in Sidney, Montana, September 2, 1930, to Ada C. (Norby) and Andrew E. Monson. He grew up in Dore, North Dakota, where his father managed the grain elevator. He graduated from Fairview High School, Class of 1948, Fairview, Montana, where he played for multiple years on the basketball team. He obtained his BA in business administration from the University of Washington, Seattle. He married Edna May Shaide, in Sidney, Montana, June 29, 1951. At the beginning of their married life, Andy and Edna resided in Seattle, moving to Mercer Island in 1963. They had 2 children together, Jane and Mark. Edna passed away June 9, 1981. He married Margot Atchison, August 25, 2005. He retired from Farmers New World Life Insurance Company, Mercer Island as Vice President of Personnel.

His membership/club interests were: President of the Chamber of Commerce, Mercer Island, member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, ELCA Synod, Indian Guides, and Sons of Norway, his father having emigrated from Norway and his mother being of Norwegian descent. He was proud of his Norse heritage. Andy was a real renaissance man when it came to being handy – he was referred to as “Handy Andy” by his immediate family. He was blessed with a General Contractor level of ability. He was proficient at furniture building, concrete pouring, electrical work, gardening, and automotive repair to mention a few of his money saving skills. His children did not realize until later that not every dad was so multi-skilled. He enjoyed Jazz music, pen and ink drawing, oil painting, bridge, crossword puzzles, downhill skiing, (that interest added when he was in his mid-40s), basketball, coaching the University of Washington Huskies football team from his easy chair in the family room, fly fishing, camping, traveling to domestic as well as many foreign destinations – Norway being one of them.

City staff requested an appropriation of $100,000 from the 2015 General Fund surplus to continue the consultant work on the I-90 loss of mobility negotiations with Sound Transit, Metro and the Washington State Department of Transportation. Mercer Island hired two consultants — Fehr and Peers and Tony Williams from Washington2Advocates — to help with the negotiations. Mitigation is needed for Island residents and the coming “loss of mobility” after the closure of the I-90 center lanes and construction of East Link light rail. This could come in the form of additional bus service or Island-only parking, according to a 2004 amendment to the 1976 memo that gave Islanders SOV access to the HOV lanes on I-90. No agreements have been reached with Sound Transit yet.
JAN. 19 FRAUD: An Island man in the 9400 block of SE 70th Place said his Social Security number was used to open a charge card that he did not authorize. LICENSE PLATE THEFT: An Island woman in the 9000 block of E. Shorewood Drive reported that both of the license plates were stolen from her vehicle while parked at the Shorewood Apartments. DOG BITES WOMAN: An Island woman said she was bitten two or three times by a small, white dog with a brown spot while walking down the street in the 2900 block of 74th Ave. SE.

PUBLIC NOTICES CITY OF MERCER ISLAND NOTICE OF CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE CHANGE Notice is hereby given that the Mercer Island City Council’s Regular Meeting of February 15, 2016 has been moved to one week later on February 22, 2016 due to the school district’s midwinter break. The meeting will be held in the Council Chambers at 9611 SE 36th Street, Mercer Island, WA. Allison Spietz
in Mercerdale Park. New Councilmembers Dave Wisenteiner and Jeff Sanderson put the item on the council agenda. Wisenteiner was the lone supporter of consulting Mercer Island voters before taking further action. Councilmember Dan Grausz said the question was “asked and answered” when the council authorized the signing of letters of understanding with MICA that expressed support of the park location. He said he also disagrees with the idea that this is an issue of arts versus parks and that the two “are somehow at odds with each other.” Some of the council members agreed that MICA still has some unanswered questions, but believe those will be addressed through other processes, including the environmental review and building permit application. They also decided not to include the MICA issue in an upcoming citizen survey in a close 4-3 vote, with Wisenteiner, Sanderson and Wendy Weiker as the voters in the minority.

Mercer Island may miss out on grant funding Mercer Island, which decided to delay adoption of its Comprehensive Plan amendment past the June 2015 due date, may miss out on federal transportation grant funding that
the Puget Sound Regional Council is allocating, said Mayor Bruce Bassett. Bassett said Mercer Island is one of the few cities out of compliance. There are 81 jurisdictions in the region. Of those, 68 have adopted plans and 33 have been certified. The Federal Highway Administration has $229 million and the Federal Transit Administration has $502 million available for projects in the region, Bassett said. The city decided not to adopt a Comprehensive Plan until the Town Center development code is rewritten, which should occur before the moratorium on downtown development expires in June of this year.
Join the great backyard bird count Feb. 12-15 Bird watchers from more than 100 countries are expected to participate in the 19th Annual Great Backyard Bird Count on Feb. 12-15. Anyone, anywhere in the world, can count birds for at least 15 minutes on one or more days of the count and enter their sightings at www.BirdCount.org or use the new app for smartphones. This year is the first time that significant numbers of observers will be participating during a strong El Nino winter, possibly leading to some unusual sightings. The information gathered by tens of thousands of volunteers helps track the health of bird populations at a scale that would not otherwise be possible. Participants on Mercer Island typically see about 25-30 species during the count.

Mercer Island High School orchestra students move on to state contest By Reporter Staff
Mercer Island High School’s orchestra represented Mercer Island district well, along with the choir and band programs, at the 2016 Eastshore Solo and Ensemble Contest recently held at Bellevue College. Winners (and some alternates) will move on to the state contest in Ellensburg, Washington this April. The Eastshore Solo and Ensemble Contest included musicians from all 11 schools in the Eastshore music league. Students from choir, orchestra and band performed in one of over 40 solo or ensemble categories for the opportunity to move on to the Washington State Solo and Ensemble Contest in April. “Congratulations to our fabulous musicians who competed and to those who will move forward to our state competitions. This group is an exceptional group of students who are not only talented in music but also strong leaders in our school. I am extremely proud of their efforts,” said MIHS Principal Vicki Puckett. Among the orchestra category winners include Ryan Char for violin class, Mercer Island Chamber Orchestra for large string ensemble. Joelle Archino, Emily Kim and Char — The Milhaud Trio — won first alternate for small string ensemble.

Jacqueline Bendrick, of Mercer Island, was named to Furman University’s dean’s list for the 2015 fall semester. Bendrick is the daughter of Barbara and Terry Bendrick.

Furman is a private, undergraduate liberal arts college of 2,600 students in Greenville, South Carolina.
SENIORS | FROM 1 nationwide program that fosters students’ creativity, courage and curiosity through open-ended academic challenges in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), fine arts and service learning. The group chose service learning and combined their love for animals with their love for seniors. “Intergenerational activities benefit both residents and students,” said Roxanne Helleren, director of resident services at Covenant Shores. “Our residents have a natural affinity for community outreach, so they were delighted to help the students with their project and they enjoyed getting to know them on a personal level.” The club is looking for donations of old blanket material (flannel, fleece or micro-fiber) as well as students who would like to visit the seniors at any adult family home, or who would like to donate to any animal shelter. “The kids really enjoyed the experience,” said parent Karin Uyeno, especially her daughter, Mei Lan, who developed a tender heart for seniors while visiting her grandmother at a rehabilitation center in another state. “She was really attached to this project being part of a senior community.” Participating in the service project was serendipity for Covenant Shores resident Kathy Pearson, who said there was a reason she felt a nudge that morning to volunteer for the students’ project. While talking with a parent, she learned the students were from Medina Elementary School, the same school her late husband, Jay, had worked at as a fifth grade teacher and substitute principal.

VALENTINE | FROM 4 I looked at the date. He’d written it the morning we’d vacated our hotel room. He’d placed it in my Bible without my knowledge. It was his desire that I’d find it sometime in the future when I was in need of encouragement. Reading the loving words that flowed from his heart ended up comforting mine. My dad’s “love letter” gave me confidence in the midst of fear and uncertainty. I read and re-read that note as I waited for what seemed like an eternity. When the surgeon eventually entered the waiting room, he had good news. My dad made a complete recovery and lived 18 additional years. During those years, I would often look at that yellowed letter. The words were a powerful reminder of my father’s belief in me. Since my dad’s death seven years ago, that “love note” has meant more than a winning lottery ticket. It truly was my most memorable Valentine. Pastor Greg Asimakoupoulos; AwesomeRev@aol.com.

Bellevue too much for MI girls in KingCo finale
Wolverine girls, boys hoops teams score wins at MIHS By Joe Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
In dominating fashion, Bellevue hammered Mercer Island 73-42 Friday to wrap a perfect 12-0 season in 2A/3A KingCo competition. The Wolverines will enter the postseason as the top seed in the 3A KingCo tournament. “We wanted to make sure that we brought our ‘A’ game,” Bellevue coach Leah Krautter said. “This win or loss doesn’t affect our seeding going into the playoffs, so sometimes teams tend to take that lightly. Our girls were ready, we know we have a little bit of a rivalry with Mercer Island. We just wanted to play hard. We knew they were going to bring the energy against us, which they did.” The Wolverines (20-0, 12-0) were out in front early and never let up, creating turnovers and not allowing the Islanders (16-3, 10-2) inside the paint. Bellevue’s defense held Mercer Island to single digits in each of the game’s first two quarters. On the offensive end, the Wolverines were humming on execution. Bellevue closed the first period on a 13-2 run to lead 26-8 and used a 12-0 run at the end of the second quarter to take a 42-16 advantage at the break.

Mercer Island’s Josie Blakeslee (12) drives against Bellevue’s Tatiana Streun Friday at Mercer Island High School. The Wolverines beat the Islanders 73-42. “We always pride ourselves on defense and working on our defense,” said Bellevue’s Shelby Cansler, who had a game-high 18 points. “On offense, we kind of just like to play basketball and kind of let it flow on fast break. Our defense helps us create our offense, so normally we just focus on playing hard D and then our offense will just cover it.” Mercer Island coach Gillian d’Hondt said she thought her team slipped out of the game mentally after staring down an early deficit against an aggressive opponent. “Hopefully we’ll start improving on how we handle pressure, because that’s something that’s been our Achilles’ heel,” d’Hondt said. “The main thing is we just got to get tougher overall,
mentally, physically [and] emotionally.” Bellevue had three scorers reach double figures including Cansler, with Quinessa Caylao-Do scoring 17 and Anna Wilson scoring 16 to go along with 11 assists and four steals. Jess Blakeslee posted a double-double for Mercer Island with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Anna Luce scored nine points and grabbed 11 rebounds. Mercer Island will compete in the 3A KingCo tournament Feb. 9-11 at Newport High School. The Islanders entered the tournament as the second seed.
among the girls. He said at districts, he hopes to see the Islanders go bigger in the vault and bar events. “I’m expecting better next week,” Lewis said Saturday. “But otherwise, we’re moving on. It’s a great day. We look forward to competing at districts, and we’ve got a good chance to make it if we just clean it up a little bit.”
Mercer Island finished the regular season second in the KingCo standings with a 5-1 record, its best record in recent years. The 2A/3A Sea-King district gymnastics championships will be Saturday, Feb. 13 at Ballard High School. Individual competition begins at 9:40 a.m., and teams will march in at 1 p.m.
Bellevue boys power past Islanders
Sharif Khan and 17 from Mikey Henn, the Bellevue Wolverines finished their 2A/3A KingCo season undefeated with a 58-47 win over Mercer Island Friday night at Mercer Island High School. Pride was on the line in this rivalry contest, as Bellevue (18-1, 12-0) had already locked up the league title and the top seed heading into the playoffs. Mercer Island (15-5, 8-4 in KingCo) was without leading scorer and starting point guard Josh Stenberg, who was out after suffering a concussion. Sam Nordale led Mercer Island in scoring with 17 points, while Andrew Pickles had 12. Mercer Island will compete in the 3A KingCo tournament Feb. 9-11 at Newport HS.
