Home Sweet Homecoming

Mercer Island residents had a chance to provide input and iden-tify potential issues with East Link light rail, the I-90 center lane clo-sure and other upcoming projects that Sound Transit, Metro and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) are working on to connect the region by rail.

As may be expected, the region weighed in as well. Sound Transit’s Mercer Island listening tour became a topic on the Seattle Transit Blog and Crosscut, with headlines “Dear Mercer Island: Public Space is for Public Use” and “Mercer Islanders showcase a purer form of entitlement,” with both sites chiding Mercer Island

for wanting “special privileges.”Sound Transit Public

Information Officer Bruce Gray said that the idea of a “listen-ing tour” is not unique to Mercer Island; the agency undertook similar outreach efforts in south-east Seattle before building link light rail to SeaTac and recently wrapped up negotiations with the city of Bellevue after addressing concerns of residents there.

This step is a “one-way dialogue by design,” Gray said. King County Executive Dow Constantine, who chairs the Sound Transit Board of Directors, deemed it a “step back.”

Gray said that the goal of the tour is to be more transparent, noting that many of the Mercer Island issues revolve around infor-mation coming to the public “fully

cooked.”The Mercer Island City Council

heard a report regarding the I-90 loss of mobility negotiations at its meeting on Oct. 5, after the Reporter deadline.

Sound Transit staff will come back to the Council with a list of identified issues on Oct. 19, along with a plan for which agen-cy should handle the issue and a timeline to reach solutions. The Sound Transit board will review the issues at its Oct. 22 meeting.

Tough negotiations may lie ahead on a few issues, includ-ing a “bus intercept” that would have buses turning around on Mercer Island once light rail ser-vice begins to eliminate redundant service into downtown Seattle. But the city and agencies may agree on other ideas, like adding more bus service around the Island to feed into the transit center.

The need for bus-rail integra-tion is also not unique to Mercer Island, Gray said, or to East Link.

Track laid for light rail discussions


Town Center visioning was the topic of the day at the Chamber of Commerce’s monthly luncheon on Oct. 1, as City Council candi-dates spoke about their visions for downtown Mercer Island.

Jeff Sanderson, whose opponent for Position No. 4 dropped out early in the race, sandwiched his speech between the eight candi-dates running for contested seats.

He said he was the “center guy” because of his centrist outlook, and that he’s also the “Town Center guy,” having opened and closed a business in Mercer Island. The logo for the business, Stopsky’s Delicatessen, inspired his cam-paign signs.

Kid Engaging Fun/Family Trusted Care

He is running a com-pany with his wife, Lara, called Sanderson Ventures that has looked at develop-ment opportunities in the Town Center. Their latest venture is “co-opportuni-ty,” a group of Islanders interested in bringing cooperative developments to Mercer Island after the “Bring PCC” movement halted. He said that the problems in Town Center can be solved with “local solutions” that provide “utility and beauty.”

Debbie Bertlin, second in the lineup and run-ning for re-election to Position No. 7, said that Town Center should be “economically viable and socially vibrant.” Wendy Weiker, running for Position No. 3, said that Mercer Island has a unique customer base and must thoughtfully plan for the future of the community.

Tom Acker, running for Position No. 5, spoke first, comparing down-town Mercer Island to the Old Main area in Bellevue that has experienced some recent redevelopment. He said that business owners in the area no longer serve

the community around them, but the people above them, referring to the larger apartment buildings that his group Save Our Suburbs (SOS) is fighting. Acker said he is no longer affiliated with the group, but still believes in “resi-dents before region.”

Dave Wisenteiner, run-ning for Position No. 1, expressed a similar senti-ment, as did Salim Nice, running for Position No. 3. Wisenteiner could not attend the meeting but sent in a statement that noted Mercer Island’s “inconsistent approach to development.”

Nice said that he has seen the challenge that I-90 development can have on Mercer Island busi-ness, having worked at the Texaco station when he was younger that had to relocate due to construc-tion. He said he would take a “data-driven and fact-based” approach to Town Center planning, especial-ly with density.

Bruce Bassett, the incumbent mayor run-ning to retain Position No. 5, said that he wears many hats: an advocate to Mercer Island businesses, a Councilmember look-ing for collaboration and

a Town Center vision that reflects the entire commu-nity and a mayor looking for a viable endpoint when there are no clear solutions to Mercer Island’s many problems: growth, parking and mobility. But Bassett said that he has the experi-ence and connections to lead Mercer Island through the tough times ahead.

Jane Brahm, running for re-election to Position No. 1, said that she has been involved and committed to the community since 1976. She worked for the Mercer Island Reporter, started the Sister City Association, wrote a book about Mercer Island history and current-ly serves as Chamber of Commerce secretary.

She said that the Island faces many challenges but there are “good solu-tions,” citing the adoption of impact fees and the fact that Mercer Island made it through the recession in much better shape than neighboring cities.

Traci Granbois, running for Position No. 7, took a different take, focusing on transparency in govern-ment. She said she would bring a renewed energy to ensuring fiscal responsibil-ity and timely access to information.

CHAMBER | FROM 1

Buses will intercept at the South Bellevue Park and Ride, but also at the University of Washington and Northgate.

Many residents oppose the idea of a “bus barn,” and the City Council rejected the latest proposal in May “due to ongoing concerns over lack of sufficient commuter parking.” A public-private parking partnership is “not off the table” though prom-ising sites like Walgreens and Hines fell through, said Eric Beckman, an Islander and the deputy executive director of business and

construction services for Sound Transit.

“We’re still open to that,” Beckman said. “It has to be the right site and the right partnership.”

According to the Council’s agenda bill, Sound Transit should provide the city with a full report cata-loging the input received from the Mercer Island lis-tening tour by Oct. 9. As of the Reporter deadline, the agency had received 300 comments. Next, Sound Transit will determine if any additional studies are needed to address the issues raised by Island residents.

East Link light rail ser-vice won’t start until 2023,

but when it is complete, it will connect downtown Seattle to Mercer Island, Bellevue and Overlake. Rail will also run to Northgate in 2021 and Lynnwood in 2023, meaning that 30 miles of it will open in the next seven or eight years.

“These are the sort of issues you want to work out, or have worked out, by this phase of design,” Gray said.

The city recently hired a strategic adviser, Tony Williams of Washington 2 Advocates, and transporta-tion expert, Fehr and Peers. It is also working to retain a law firm to provide advice on transportation related issues that might emerge.

Auto theft numbers skewedI was quite amazed by the recent letter from Traci

Granbois talking first about her “inadvertent typo” in the Voter’s Pamphlet, but then still using the opportunity to attack Debbie Bertlin. As Ms. Granbois is an engineer/lawyer who had ample opportunity to read and reread her Voter’s Pamphlet submittal before it went to press, I have a hard time believing her claim of inadvertence, particu-larly once I dug into the numbers.

The entire factual basis for the allegation (a 150 percent increase in auto theft which somehow ended up as 250 percent in the Voter’s Pamphlet) is deceitful. I asked our police chief for the annual auto theft numbers and here they are:

2005 – 37; 2006 – 25; 2007 – 29; 2008 – 32; 2009 – 14; 2010 – 10; 2011 – 14; 2012 – 9; 2013 – 12; 2014 – 23

One only gets to 150 percent by comparing 2012 with 2014. If anything, 2014 looks like an aberration given the great numbers during the preceding five years (two of which occurred during Ms. Bertlin’s term) and even then, 2014 is well under the higher numbers we used to see before 2009.

Ms. Granbois chose deception over transparency. If that is the way she conducts her campaign, then we cannot afford to have her do the same in City Hall.

I have always considered Debbie Bertlin to be a person of unquestioned integrity. One can disagree with her poli-cies, but there has never been a basis for challenging her integrity. That is a quality I value above all others when I vote. The actions of Ms. Granbois have made my decision an easy one.

Leaders have made Island betterAs a 30-year resident of the Island, living another 20

years in South Bellevue, I have had an opportunity to see considerable changes in our downtown and city ameni-ties. I want to commend our current and prior leaders for their vision in making sure that Mercer Island meets its growth requirements under state law, provides us with

remarkable facilities and encourages a vibrant business district.

Our 2015 City Council election is critical for the course of our Island. I am supporting Bruce Bassett, Wendy Weiker, Jane Mayer Brahm and Debbie Bertlin, and I encourage you to do likewise.

Each of these individuals has shown through perfor-mance on the council, or in detailed policy statements, an intention to keep the Island progressing. This includes an ability to say “yes” to parks, civic improvements, roadway enhancements and downtown development that both

encourages new business and a variety of housing oppor-tunities.

It is disturbing to me to see campaign slogans seeking to save the Island, or keep it nice, without any indication of a platform, other than an implicit “no” to any devel-opment. Those who remember the Mercer Island of the 1960s and 1970s remember parking lots, dry cleaners and service stations that characterized a community that was a

Incumbents running scared Incorrect and malicious statements by Carol Branom

that candidate Traci Granbois is using scare tactics by reporting that the city is facing two years of deficits are not true. I was at the City Council meeting to which she refers and the facts are that Financial Director Chip Corder stated:

“At the January 2015 planning session, staff presented its 2015 — 2020 General Fund forecast to the council, noting ongoing, projected deficits beginning in 2017. This forecast had been updated for the June 2015 mini plan-ning session with a $982,000 deficit projected at the end of 2017 and a $1,565,000 deficit projected at the end of 2018.

Those are the facts. This does not mean the city is going broke, it means, as Finance Director Corder com-mented, there would be a future choice for the council, either cut services or raise taxes. Corroborating the coun-cil’s behavior is the $20 Mercer Island Transportation Benefit District assessment by the City Council without a vote of Mercer Island Citizens. It appears to portend that the council will increase the tax burden on citizens by any means and whenever it can.

Challengers Granbois, Nice, Wisenteiner and Acker have simply reported what Corder has said. They take him at his word, as do I. For me it rang an alarm bell, and I suspect that for the incumbents to generate a letter such as Branom’s, it rang an alarm bell for them also. I dare say it would appear that it is the incumbents who are quite correctly running scared of their record.

Bassett knows Islanders’ needsAs someone who has known Bruce Bassett for 13 years,

I feel I can provide an accurate assessment of both his character and of his performance as mayor of Mercer Island.

I’ve often carpooled with Bruce and other team mem-bers to our weekly men’s league soccer games. During these trips, we discussed a variety of topics.

As a parent whose children made the dangerous drive across Island Crest Way as new teenage drivers, I can appreciate that drivers can now safely turn onto Island Crest Way (the “road diet” initiative). Another initiative that improved life on the Island included the renovation of the middle school playing field that is enjoyed by resi-dents of all ages.

Bruce takes the time to thoroughly understand the issues, to solicit expertise from subject matter experts and those who might be affected by the changes.

Bruce has the Islanders’ needs as his top priority. He has worked to address problems related to off-Island resi-dents parking on Mercer Island and preventing tolling on I-90. This work does not happen in a vacuum. Bruce has collaborated with Seattle and our Eastside community leaders to make sure that they understand and support our needs.

I am proud to have him as a friend and hope that oth-ers can understand how tirelessly he has worked in the interest of all Mercer Island residents.

Joe Petrucci

Hague will be independent voiceI, too, attended the Sept. 24 Sound Transit listening

tour at the Community Center and used my three min-utes to ask questions of Sound Transit.

The first was why a listening tour when Sound Transit East Link: Bus/LTR system is over two years old and mil-lions of dollars have been spent. I remarked that if I were a suspicious person I would think there was an election coming up. And indeed there is. While Claudia Balducci sat in the back of the room of the listening tour, where many citizens had taken time out from their families and jobs to give thoughtful and essential input, she was using social media to campaign for King County Council.

I would like to think the listening tour was arranged in good faith to hear what citizens had to say, and was not part of a campaign ploy by Dow Constantine to showcase his candidate, Claudia Balducci, who he appointed to the Sound Transit Board. His Progressive Pac has the money and power to place his chosen candidates in many elected positions. This is not good for the citizens of Mercer Island.

We need independent elected officials who are answer-able to us the citizens, not part of a political machine that moves them around the table at will.

We have a choice. Jane Hague was also at the listening tour. And thanks to MI reporter Katie Metzger for report-ing her presence. Hague is always available and wants to hear what citizens have to say.

Vote for an independent voice on King County Council. Vote Jane Hague.

Jackie Dunbar

Bassett has grasp of issuesI was recently invited to a neighborhood meeting with

Mayor Bruce Bassett. Bruce comes across as a genuine person, i.e., not trying to be a populist or something other than he is. It was a sharp contrast to many politicians who unfortunately use theatrics to advance their goals.

During the informal meeting, Bruce showed that he is a listener and a consensus builder — two great leadership traits. He came across as experienced and deeply knowl-edgeable about Mercer Island, and focused on what the majority of the voters want rather than trying to imple-ment his own specific agenda.

There were a lot of questions about the “hot button” issues of the day. Bruce demonstrated in-depth under-standing of the complexities of the issues and convinced me he knows what needs to be done to deal with our current challenges and improve the quality of life on the Island for everyone.

All of this worked well for me. I will support Bruce Bassett for re-election.

Bruce Schatzman

Granbois will listen to citizensIn his Sept. 30 letter in support of Bertlin for City

Council, Bart Dawson chose to take the low road. He resorted to attacking the messenger when he had noth-ing to say about her message.

Traci Granbois’ message is clear: “This election is about changing the manner in which the Mercer Island City Council balances regional demands with local Island interests. The two can be compatible, but region-al level policies applied uniformly throughout is not in the Island’s or the region’s best interest. The charm and character of our neighborhoods are what make Mercer Island special. The character of cities is what makes the region special.”

His underhanded ad hominem attacks on Traci: “Debbie herself has no personal or family interest in the future of our Town Center” implies the opposite about Traci. It’s not the American way to judge a per-son by their family. Further, Dawson sets up a straw man by asserting, without attribution, that the major-ity of Traci’s contributors are “off-island” and then he “puzzles” over “off-island” interests. The assertion is patently false and can be checked on this web site: http://www.pdc.wa.gov/MvcQuerySystem/Candidate/loc_candidates.

I recently rang doorbells and hung flyers in my neighborhood with Traci and her baby daughter. I came away from our two-hour walk feeling that this MIHS graduate will bring fresh thinking to the City Council, will listen to and be responsive to the citizens of Mercer Island and will promote fiscal responsibility while never losing sight of maintaining the quality of life we expect and enjoy.

City fights against invasive knot-weed

This August, city staff treated 33 populations of invasive knotweed, total-ing over 2000 stems, along roadsides and in parks on Mercer Island.

Knotweed is a tall, leafy bamboo-like plant with hol-low stems, and is an aggres-sive invader that can spread easily from one property to another. The plant grows rapidly to eight feet tall or more, reduces vision along roads, destroys wildlife habitat and even pushes up through pavement.

The Island’s populations were treated by injecting small amounts of herbicide into the stems. This method is 90-100 percent effective in the first year.

The city still needs help from Island residents to identify and treat popula-tions on their private land.

Contact Natural Resources Coordinator Alaine Sommargren at 206-275-7879 for more informa-tion.

Sewer cleaning scheduled

This week, residents may notice a high-pressure “vac-tor” cleaning truck travers-ing the streets, maintaining sanitary sewer lines around the perimeter of the Island.

Building on work accom-

plished by city crews this August in Town Center, contractor crews will be using high-pressure jet-ting to clear accumulations of fats, oils, grease (aka “FOG”) and/or tree roots from sewer lines.

This preventative main-tenance program is needed about every five years in residential areas to avoid more significant problems later. There will be minor delays from single-lane road closures. These are temporary and will employ flaggers for safety.

MICA conducts phone survey

The Mercer Island Center for the Arts (MICA) con-ducted a poll of registered Island voters, and heard from more than 400 house-holds, said MICA President John Gordon Hill.

More than 75 percent of survey responders indicated that they were aware of and 60 percent expressed sup-port for the project as cur-rently envisioned.

“We’ve striven to con-tinually deepen our under-standing of the communi-ty’s vision by hosting public meetings and by meeting with community members in smaller groups and one on one,” Hill said.

MICA is also working with city staff to make sure that the facility will meet the needs and requirements of the city, he said.

The Mercer Island Visual Arts League (MIVAL) has been an Island institution since 1961, and is cel-ebrating its gallery’s sixth anniversary in November. MIVAL is a cooperative effort, with members tak-ing turns exhibiting their art and working at the gal-lery, located at 2836 78th Ave. S.E.

This month, MIVAL is trying something new: a ‘regional guest artist pro-gram’ intended to raise the profile of the gallery. It is currently showcasing paintings by Seattle artist David N. Jayne.

Jayne, whose colorful, pointillist pieces can take 400 hours to create, out-lined his process and inspi-ration at the opening of the exhibit on Oct. 1.

“Nobody really taught me,” he said. “I learned from a book about [Claude] Monet.”

Jayne lived in Switzerland and studied French impressionists, but many of his influences are regional. He studied at Washington State University under Andrew Hofmiester and Keith Monaghan, and at the University of Washington under Jacob Lawrence and

Alden Mason. His process is time con-

suming and detail-ori-ented, so he often works on multiple paintings at a time.

“It keeps a freshness to my work,” he said.

Subjects of Jayne's paint-ings range from harvest moons and twinkling lights to boats sailing on Lake Washington.

MIVAL debuts ‘regional guest artist’ program

Session to head Kiwanis clubRetired Mercer Island lawyer Rick Sessions was

installed as club president of the Mercer Island Kiwanis Club on Sept. 25, replacing 60-year Kiwanian Frank Black. Bernard “Bernie” Feldman continues as treasurer with retired Mercer Island veterinarian Harry Dingwall as secretary.

The club has changed meeting days to the first and third Tuesday of the month. The location remains at Aljoya, 2430 76th Ave. S.E. Visitors are always welcome.

The club also has begun sponsorship of a “K-Kids” club at Lakeridge school.

More information is available by contacting Dingwall at 206-232-0672 or email to [email protected].

Island to welcome French studentsSeventeen French high school students and their three

chaperones will visit Mercer Island on Oct. 23, attending classes at MIHS and touring the Seattle area.

The exchange started when Mercer Island students visited Thonon-les-Bains, Mercer Island’s sister city, in February.

The Sister City Association will host two events for the group: a community potluck from 6-8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 25 at the Community and Event Center and a wel-come reception from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 26 at City Hall.

RSVP to Beth Brennan at [email protected] for the potluck and Ali Spietz at [email protected] for the reception by Tuesday, Oct. 20.

Stewart playing sing-along seriesJoin Island musician Nancy Stewart for Monday night

family sing-alongs at the Mercer Island Library Oct. 12 and 19, from 6:30-7:15 p.m.

Bring a guitar or other instrument, and follow along with the provided chords and lyrics.

These events are part of the Sing With Our Kids project for early learning through community singing. Children of all ages and their grownups are welcome. Email Stewart at [email protected] for more.

Around the IslandQuick notes on who’s in the news

Many feature local land-marks like Rattlesnake Ridge or Mt. Adams, but others are more abstract, with patterns and dots swirling together in vivid colors.

Jayne writes on his web-site that he was cutting lawns as a summer job, and looked at the lawn and saw all the colors in the spec-trum.

“I have continued to paint in a similar mode using dots of color on a colored ground for the past 16 years,” he said, adding print making in 1994.

Jayne currently works as a Metro bus driver, and said inspiration can strike at any time, even while he drives and looks out the front window.

Jayne’s larger pieces can sell for thousands of dol-lars, MIVAL members said. He has completed 11 since

2009, and when he finishes, there will be 40, he said.

Besides paintings, the MIVAL gallery also fea-tures many other medi-ums, with members who are fiber artists, photog-raphers, as well as artists who work in glass, jewelry, ceramics, encaustic media and film.

MIVAL has monthly meetings with guest speak-ers, and will soon host its Holiday Show at the Community and Event Center. Opening recep-tions are always on the first Thursday of every month. The Holiday Show opens at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 5.

Jujubeet to open kiosk at 212 Health and Fitness

Jujubeet will hold an opening party from 8:30-11:30 a.m,. Oct. 9 at its new kiosk within the 212 Health and Fitness Center on Mercer Island.

Jujubeet features freshly juiced, mostly organic and local fruits and vegetables. The green smoothies, juices, energy balls and more will be free during the opening event.

The new Jujubeet kiosk will carry all of Jujubeet’s cold pressed juices, smooth-ies, salads, and healthy des-serts uniquely crafted by an in-house dietitian and delivered fresh daily.

Pre-ordered juice cleans-es will also be available from the kiosk.

The health center is locat-ed at 2558 76th Ave. S.E., Suite 138.

City amends walk-off parking code

The City Council voted 6-1 on Sept. 21 to amend the walk-off parking require-ments in Town Center after a second reading.

The new code states that, “public parking shall not be required for a new mixed use or nonresidential devel-opment of two stories and less or no greater than 10 percent of the total gross floor area of all existing structures on the parcel.”

Deputy Mayor Dan Grausz said that the amend-ment should not be aimed at small businesses, but at “new development that is effectively a small addition to an existing development.”

The amendment, which will go into effect on Oct. 30, was drafted by Gull Industries for Pagliacci Pizza, which is planning to build a small restaurant in the southeast corner of the Rite Aid parking lot.

Kane rallies Islanders to Homecoming victory

Joseph Livarchik/Staff PhotoMercer Island’s Jackson Caputo (21) breaks past the Liberty secondary after hauling in a 38-yard touchdown pass from Griffin Kane Friday night at Islander Stadium. The Islanders beat the Patriots, 26-21.

Senior WR takes over at QB for injury-riddled football team

By Joseph [email protected]

With 2:43 left to go in their Homecoming game against Liberty, one point and 73 yards separated Mercer Island from the Patriots.

Senior wide receiver

Griffin Kane was in at quar-terback, taking over for Blake Swanson, who left the game in the second quar-ter with a right leg injury. Mercer Island’s other two QBs on the depth chart were already unavailable due to injuries, bumping Kane up to backup QB for Friday’s game.

So how does the saying go? Next man up?

The Mercer Island senior stepped in as signal-caller

for the game’s remaining three quarters and didn’t disappoint. With Liberty ahead 21-20, Kane marched Mercer Island 71 yards on the team’s final drive to Liberty’s 2-yard line. He finished the drive two plays later, rushing two yards into the end zone to rally the Islanders past the Patriots for a 26-21 Homecoming win Friday night at Islander Stadium.

Not bad for a guy who,

until game week, wasn’t list-ed as a quarterback.

“I couldn’t be more proud of my team right now,” Kane said, visibly emotional after the game. “We’re down on numbers, everybody con-tributed, it was a great win.”

Mercer Island came face-to-face with its quarterback predicament in the open-ing minute of the second quarter. Swanson was

Late goal from Taylor Krause lifts Islanders over Patriots


Trust has been para-mount for the members of the Mercer Island girls soc-cer team during the first half of the 2015 season. It has helped them collectively find success on the soccer pitch and remain unde-

feated through eight games, leading up to last Thursday’s contest against Liberty, the only other undefeated team in the KingCo 3A/2A stand-ings.

For most of the game, it appeared both teams would leave the match still unde-feated as a result of a score-less draw. But when the opportunity presented itself, Mercer Island used a little bit of trust to come up big down the stretch.

With a goal from Taylor

Krause in the 78th minute, Mercer Island broke a score-less affair to edge Liberty 1-0 Oct. 1 at Liberty High School.

“At practice, we’ve been working on staying calm in pressure situations and that really helps,” Krause said afterward. “Normally in those situations, we might have panicked and started playing long balls, and that’s not how we play. We play possession, and so we kept possession and we got the

shot off.”It was a hard-fought goal

in a hard-fought, defen-sive grind. Neither defense allowed a clear shot on goal until the game’s 10th min-ute, when a Liberty attempt from the left side of the field bounced off the left Mercer Island goalpost. The Patriots had four shots in the opening half, with Islander goalkeeper Bella Johnson saving two.

taken down after scrambling for a 29-yard gain in a 7-7 game. Unable to put weight on his right leg, he had to be helped off the field.

Kane took over under center, and seven plays later, found Jackson Caputo on a 38-yard touchdown pass to give Mercer Island a 13-7 lead.

“Griffin just plays. You look at him in terms of his fundamentals and his skills, and it’s not pretty, but he gets the job done,” Mercer Island coach Brett Ogata said. “He was a gamer tonight. He really stepped up and made huge plays for us.”

The Patriots (3-2, 1-2) respond-ed with a nine-play, 69-yard drive, culminating with Liberty’s Austin Regis hauling in a 4-yard touch-down pass from quarterback Nate Solly. Liberty connected on the PAT to take a 14-13 lead at the break.

The Patriots extended their advantage on their first possession of the second half. Mercer Island appeared to force Liberty to punt, but Solly successfully executed the fake, rushing for a first down to the Mercer Island 46-yard line. Four plays later, Solly found Torey Anderson on a 16-yard touchdown pass to put the Patriots ahead 21-13.

Mercer Island (2-3, 1-2) cut the deficit on its ensuing drive. Kane converted on fourth-and-7 with a 28-yard pass to Mitchell Mandt to put the Islanders at the Liberty 4-yard line. Jordano Mark broke into the end zone on the next play to make it a one-point game head-ing into the final period.

The Islanders recovered a Patriot fumble on the first play of the fourth quarter, but were unable to capitalize. Liberty forced Mercer Island to punt on their next posses-sion, but the Islander defense sub-sequently forced the Patriots into a three-and-out, giving the Mercer Island offense one more chance with just under three minutes left in the game.

Kane went to the air, beginning the final drive with a 27-yard pass to Eric Kim to put the Islanders in Patriot territory. Five plays later, it was Kane to Kim again, this time with a 31-yard strike to put the Islanders at the Liberty 2-yard line with 45 seconds remaining.

“I had confidence in Griffin. He knows what I like to do and I’m comfortable with him,” Kim said. “He really put the ball up there for me and did a good job.”

Kane finished the game complet-ing 10 of 14 passes for 148 yards, throwing for a touchdown as well as rushing for the game-winner.

Though the Islander players were excited to earn their first league win and appear to be through the toughest portion of their sched-ule, Ogata acknowledged nothing would come easy the rest of the way for a squad as banged up as his.

“The injury bug has our number this year,” he said. “We got some more injuries tonight, I don’t know how bad they are. Hopefully we can weather the storm and keep playing.”

Mercer Island will take on Interlake at 7 p.m. next Friday, Oct. 9 at Interlake High School.

Mercer Island had corner kick opportunities in the 23rd and 37th minutes, but couldn’t capi-talize at either juncture.

The Islanders turned up their attack in the second half, but still found themselves fending off the aggressive Patriot front line. Liberty had three more corner opportunities through the 74th minute, as well as a right-side foul kick in the 62nd minute, just outside the keeper’s box.

But time and again, the

Islander defense held. Johnson came up with big saves in the 51st minute and the 66th, snag-ging a loose ball from Liberty forward Makena Carr, which Johnson called her toughest save of the game.

“We knew this would be an extremely tough game,” Johnson said. “I trusted my defenders for sure, and knew that I wasn’t going to let anything in. I was going to get whatever I could behind the ball.”

In the 76th minute, Mercer Island’s Jordan Snyder saw her attempt from the left side

of the field saved by Patriot keeper Jasmine Curl. Less than two minutes later, Krause found herself with one defender to beat when she fired from the right side of the field, finding the back left corner of the net.

“I knew where [the

defender] was on my shoulder and I was able to turn,” she said, “but it was about trusting my teammates and knowing that they’re going to give me the ball so I can make the turn quickly and think ahead of the game.”

The Patriots had two cor-ner kick opportunities in the final minute of the contest. The Islanders knocked the first attempt out of bounds, while Bella Johnson corralled the sec-ond attempt as the final whistle sounded.

Islander coach Ryan Camden credited the win as a total team effort. He called Krause a “phe-nomenal, dedicated player,” and praised Johnson as the “best keeper in KingCo.”

“The last couple of minutes, it was grinding out and things were getting a little shaky, and she just wanted to win for her team-mates,” Camden said. “From the back forward, it was a quality effort by the entire team.”

The Islanders improved their league season record to 2-2 after a strong performance against Newport Tuesday, Sept. 29 at Mercer Island Country Club. Erik Raisys led the Islanders with three goals while six other Islanders recorded two goals each for the 15-6 win.

The Islanders took charge from the start as Jacob Guedel connected with Ford Witman to score at the 5:30 mark. Less than one minute later, Sammy Vacca followed with a goal. The middle of the quarter was a defensive battle as both teams drew ejec-tions. With 1:09 left, Islander Sam Nair connected with the net and the Maroon Squad ended the first quarter with a comfort-

able 3-1 lead. The team upped its offensive tempo in the second quarter, racking up five more goals to build a commanding 8-2 lead for the half. Newport showed some life as they out-scored the Islanders 4-2 in the third quarter. However, the final quarter was all MI as the Islanders scored five goals while holding the Knights scoreless. The Islanders’ final play of the evening was a steal by Carson Coe, who swam the length of the pool scoring an uncontested goal to put an exclamation point on the victory. Hunter Peshkin recorded four saves and Cole Nielsen one save for the game.

The previous night at MICC, Mercer Island came within strik-ing distance of last year’s state runner-up Curtis, falling 10-7.

This was the second time the Vikings and Islanders had faced off in the young season. The Islanders looked much improved compared to their previous con-test with Curtis, which Mercer Island lost 19-8 on Sept. 8.

The fired-up Islanders came out strong, jumping to a 3-1 lead at the close of the first quarter. Curtis responded the next quar-ter, tying the game 4-4 going into the half. Curtis pulled away in the second half, outscoring the Islanders 3-1 in the third and 3-2 in the fourth. Conner Vacca led the Islanders with four goals in the effort. Hunter Peshkin had a strong defensive showing, reg-istering 13 saves. The Islanders will get one more bite at the apple against the Vikings before the regular season ends.

After slow start this year, MI comes away with win over first-place Liberty


The members of the Mercer Island boys golf team were playing for pride when they took on the first-place Liberty Patriots Thursday afternoon at Twin Rivers Golf Course.

The Islanders had hoped to contend for a league title at the beginning of the sea-son, but saw those hopes vanish after dropping two of their first three league matches. Though first place appeared out of reach, the Islanders were still after the upset.

The end of Thursday’s match saw the two teams deadlocked 187-187. A playoff round of golf later, and the Islanders looked like the contenders they expected to be this year.

Mercer Island outlasted the Patriots 23-26 to win the playoff and take the match for their second league win. The team boasted three of the day’s five lowest score-cards, led by Islander senior Zach Evens, who shot a 34 and birdied on the playoff hole. Braden Williams shot a 37, and Bligh Bjarnason finished with 38 strokes.

“That was a huge mental boost for our guys, to know

that they can compete with the best,” Mercer Island coach Tyson Peters said.

A few weeks ago, the Islanders may have expect-ed the Liberty match to serve as an indication of who would win KingCo. But losses to Juanita and Lake Washington to open the season likely cost Mercer Island their shot.

As unfortunate as the losses may have been, they were not necessarily due to poor performance. As a team, Mercer Island set a season goal of keeping their collective score under 200 each match to be success-ful. They managed to do so throughout their first four matches, but also saw their

opponents rise to the occa-sion with stellar outings.

“We were stunned; [the two losses] were both very close matches,” Peters said. “What we ran into was that those two teams both played their best match of the year on that particular day.”

Peters said the Islanders have had to revisit their goals, focusing more on individual improvement and setting their sights on the postseason. Evens, a returning state qualifier, and senior Drew Christofferson have been bright spots. Evens has either come away with or tied for the lowest individual score of every league match, and Christofferson has consis-tently turned in some of the team’s lowest numbers.

With only two meets left on the regular season schedule, the Mercer Island coach is encouraging his players to finish strong and hopefully peak as they go into the postseason.

“The nice thing about golf is that there are con-stant numbers you’re trying to get,” he said. “We want to show that maybe we weren’t as consistent as we needed to be in the regular season, but when it counts, we can be.”

Mercer Island took on Interlake Monday, Oct. 5 after the Reporter deadline. The team finishes its regular season against Sammamish at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8 at Twin Rivers.

Mercer Island cross coun-try hosted Interlake and Lake Washington at Luther Burbank Park Wednesday, Sept. 30. The Islander girls took the top spot in their portion of the meet, beating Interlake 30-35. The Saints won over the Islander boys 18-43.

Interlake had the top fin-ishers in both the boys and girls races. Camila David-Smith won the girls 5K with a time of 19:59. Mercer Island had six runners fin-ish in the top 10 of the girls race, beginning with Chloe Michaels placing fourth at 20:20. Cece Rosenman was right behind Michaels in fifth place (20:21). Mary Rose Vu was sixth (20:35), Kayla Lee placed seventh (20:40), Alexa Bauman was eighth (20:41) and Elly McMillan finished 10th

(21:12). Luke Beauchamp won the

boys 5K with a time of 16:46. Tiger McBurney finished fourth for the Islanders at 17:28, while Nate Benson placed sixth (17:52) and Ben Vandenbosch f i n -ished 10th (18:26). Noah

Talerman was 11th (18:33), Andrew Arvish placed 13th (18:46) and Luke Kenworthy finished 15th (18:59) for Mercer Island.

Next, Mercer Island cross country will take on Bellevue at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 7 at Kelsey Creek Park.
