U.S. congressman Adam Smith, the representative for Mercer Island, visited the Mercer Island VFW Hall on Monday, June 24, for a question-and-answer ses-sion.

Smith gave the audience of around 30 a run-down of the current situation in Washington, D.C., including what Congress has been working on.

Frank Sorba, the commander of VFW Post 5760, said mem-bers expressed their gratitude for Smith taking the time to visit and talk.

“We are grateful that he took the time to speak with us, and it may have been a good start to getting a better understanding from our Congressional repre-

sentative,” said Sorba. Smith explained that the

sequestration cut 10 percent across the board, and that the military has been a big part of those cuts because it accounts for so much of the country’s spend-ing. Those cuts are now trans-lating to furloughs and layoffs for military personnel and less training.

On immigration, Smith said Congress is working on a broad bill that would increase security, help create a pathway for undoc-umented workers to become legal citizens, and to create a bet-ter system for legal immigration. Since Smith’s visit, the bill was passed by the U.S. Senate, and was heading for discussion in the House of Representatives.

“We need a better immigration

system,” he said, explaining that the system is far too complicated and takes too long for companies wishing to bring employees in from other places.

On the issue of tolling, Smith said it’s not going to happen this year, but that in the future the conversation will continue because the revenue for roads and transportation is simply not there.

“The gas tax is a set amount and the revenue from it has gone down as people use less gas,” he said. “Because there is less rev-enue, it’s likely tolling will have to be part of the conversation.”

his letter asking the state for a study on tolling.

“It’s a bad policy for the nation, and we appreciate your support,” he said.

Smith said the state will ultimately decide what to do, but because the tolls are being considered on a fed-eral highway, the Federal Highway Administration will be asked to approve or deny the plan. He added that there is precedent for the state’s getting permis-sion from the FHA.

“There is not precedence for using money to pay for another road,” said Smith.

A member of the audi-ence asked if the FHA would make their recom-mendation prior to the state’s decision, which would help save the state and the City of Mercer Island money on vari-ous studies. Smith didn’t believe they would, but understood it would help save money in the long run

if they did. Smith, the ranking mem-

ber of the House Armed Services Committee, when asked about the situation in Syria, said it concerned him and that there was no easy solution.

“Syria is a huge prob-lem, and the Middle East is exploding into more dysfunction than usual,” he said. “I do not believe the U.S. should be involved. We’ll still have a bloody

civil war. It’s a terrible situ-ation. Some problems just don’t have solutions.”

Smith also answered questions concerning Congress’ ability to work together and to help elimi-nate and lower waste, start-ing a discussion that would have lasted much longer than the time available.

“With regard to the fed-eral budget sequestration, waste and fraud in the gov-ernment, his answers left

many of us frustrated, as he clearly stated there is no meaningful resolution being discussed to the cur-rent sequestration of the budget,” Sorba said. “The gridlock in Washington, D.C., continues and we believe America’s best interests are not being well served by this behav-ior on the part of all of our elected officials.”

interview panel follow-ing what city documents describe as a two-day intensive interview process.

Prior to working for City of Mercer Island, Treat was the deputy superintendent for Seattle Public Schools and chief of staff with King County.

According to his employ-ment contract with the City

of Mercer Island, Treat will be paid an annual base sal-ary equal to $171,000 dur-ing the first year of this a g r e e m e n t . In the second year of the con-tract, his base salary will be increased by 3 percent or by the 2015 cost of living adjustment awarded

to unrepresented employ-ees, whichever is greater.

The new city man-ager will receive all benefits provided for director level employ-ees, including — with-out limitation — all annual cost of liv-ing increases given to non-represented employees (beginning in 2016).

Each year, Treat will also be eligible for an annu-

al performance payment or a bonus, as determined by City Council.

As city manager he will also will receive the follow-ing benefits:

• A vehicle allowance of $400 a month in lieu of mileage reimbursement for use of his personal vehicle for business purposes.

• A $500 per month con-tribution into a deferred compensation 401A Plan.

• A vacation allotment of 200 hours per year, the equivalent of 25 days, as well as standard city holi-days.

Treat is not required to reside within the city. However, he must live no further than a 10-minute commute to the city and must maintain a publicly listed telephone.

According to informa-tion from the fiscal.wa.gov website, Christine Gregoire was paid $161,000 in her last year as governor. More than 4,500 Washington state employees — primar-ily those in higher edu-cation jobs — were paid between $100,000 and $200,000 in 2012.

By Reporter StaffOn Monday, June 24,

neighbors in the Mercerdale neighborhood found a pile of very large cedar stumps lying in the street next to the hillside. The seven large pieces were at the foot of a staircase in the 3700 block of 76th Place S.E.

There were no signs that a tree had fallen nearby either on the hillside or in the yard adjacent to the street. City arborist Paul West said that the cedar

rounds had likely been dumped there by a contrac-tor or tree service company that did not want to haul them and presumably pay for the disposal.

The rounds reveal that the cedar tree was 100 years old or more. There was some rot at the base. West speculated that the tree probably came from private property on the North end of the Island and that the contractor or hauler drove around until they found

a place where no one was looking to dump the pieces.

“This does happen from time to time,” he said, “and it costs us money and time.”

People do dump yard waste and debris on the Island. There was a site in upper Luther Burbank Park that became a problem a few years ago. The activity there has stopped.

The city came with a loader to pick up the giant pieces and cut them up for clean green.

By Reporter StaffEighteen years after

burning down his parents’ frozen foods warehouse in Seattle’s International District, Martin Pang has been caught attempting to commit more crime from behind bars.

Pang, 57, was sentenced to 35 years in prison, but is scheduled to be released from the Monroe Correctional Complex in 2018.

The former Islander

obtained the names and Social Security numbers of his intended targets — 20 witnesses, firefight-ers and police officers involved in his 1995 arson case, according to a Seattle Police Department press release.

Four Seattle firefight-ers died in the warehouse blaze, and Pang pled guilty to manslaughter.

Pang’s adoptive parents, longtime Mercer Island residents now deceased,

had owned their business, Mary Pang’s Food Products Inc., for 40 years. Pang graduated from Mercer Island High School, mar-ried and divorced four times, and has two daugh-ters.

The Washington State Department of Corrections recently uncovered Pang’s plot to open cred-it accounts in the vic-tims’ names and transfer credit money to foreign bank accounts. Pang had

an outside accomplice, Charles McClain, and the duo was also planning to steal money from Tulalip Casino bank accounts. McClain was once employed at the casino. They hoped to acquire tens of millions of dollars, according to the Seattle Police Department.

I n v e s t i g a t o r s who partnered with the DOC include the SPD Major Crimes Task Force, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Snohomish Regional Drug and Gang Task Force.

“Pang saw this as an opportunity to make a ton of money, so he had a

nest egg when he got out of prison,” said SPD MCTF detective Todd Jakobsen. Pang intended to go to Brazil with the money after his future release from prison. Brazil was where he fled after his arson crime.

An undercover detec-tive met with McClain and obtained Social Security information, checks and victims’ IDs. Pang had acquired the information

from court documents.Police arrested McClain

and found a list of names and Social Security num-bers in Pang’s prison cell, along with other evidence of firefighters’ personal information.

Pang was not successful in actually stealing his vic-tims’ identities or money from the Tulalip Casino.

Charges have been for-warded to the Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office. A conviction could result in Pang losing accu-mulated “good behavior time,” and additional jail time of up to five years.

Planners at the City of Mercer Island are seeing what many are hoping is a positive sign of a return to a better economy.

The number of build-ing permits and pre-permit application conferences for Island construction projects has jumped.

Director of the Development Services Group (DSG), Scott Greenberg, calls the trend something else: “The new normal,” he said.

Greenberg asked for and received an additional $200,000 to add staff to the development services group to handle the requests.

It is money well spent. More building activity means more permit fees and rev-enue for the city.

Greenberg told the City

Council on June 3 that his group has been experiencing a substantial and unplanned increase in development activity. Staff resources to handle the load were inad-equate, he said.

The approved funding will add two temporary positions to the staff. One will be a temporary, full-time plan-ner, and the other will be an on-call plan reviewer and inspector.

Greenberg said he expects that one or both of these posi-tions may need to become permanent.

The activity has ramped up considerably since mid-October last year, he told the Reporter.

Through April 2013, new single family permits are at their highest level of the past four years. For the first four months of 2013, 25-plus per-mits were processed with the city — more than all of 2012.

City planners expect that amount to double by the end of the year, to more than 50. City data shows that the

number of new home con-struction permits fell to just 12 in 2009 before inching up to 25 in both 2011 and 2012.

Also, the city is working with developers for subdivi-sions and short plats totaling 83 lots that will be developed over the next few years. “This was an astonishing number for me,” Greenberg said.

The number of pre-appli-cation meetings with builders has also grown dramatically in the past few months.

Greenberg has been a city

building official for more than 30 years.

“Mercer Island has more pre-application meetings than any other city I have worked for,” he said. “And that is a good thing. It means that the builder knows exact-ly what he needs to do before he begins.”

After about 60 of those meetings between January and April this year, Greenberg expects that the number of those encounters will reach more than 200 by year’s end.

City plans for upgraded crosswalk lighting along Island Crest Way

The City of Mercer Island will be working this sum-mer to install upgraded crosswalk lighting along Island Crest Way, as part of the city’s effort to promote walking and biking.

The in-pavement lights

will be removed and re-placed with a more visible ‘Rectangular Rapid Flash-ing Beacon,’ which studies have found to be more effective in encouraging drivers to stop for pedes-trians. The changes will be covered by general operat-ing funds from the city.

The new system is more energy-efficient and will be easier to maintain.

Mercer Island recognizes, honors local volunteers

The City of Mercer Island recognized and honored local volunteers during the June 17 City Council meet-ing.

Emergency volunteer Charles Bruhl, Eagle Scout Sean Quinn and Mercer Island Country Club repre-sentatives Dorrinda Pierce and John Hartman have been recognized for their work in creating a South end shelter for Mercer Island.

“Mercer Island is for-tunate to have so many wonderful citizens that are willing to give their time to help our Island get pre-pared,” said Officer Jennifer

Franklin, who handles emergency preparedness for the city. “From our Mercer Island Search and Rescue team, medical team, ham radio operators, emergency well team to our registra-tion and shelter teams, we are fortunate to have such expertise to assist our com-munity.”

To learn more, visit the city website at www.mercer-gov.org.

Sixth National Night Out is Aug. 6

National Night Out, a crime prevention and pre-paredness event, will be held for the sixth consecu-tive year on Mercer Island on Tuesday, Aug. 6.

The organized event has been held for the past 30 years across the nation,

involving more than 15,000 communities from all 50 states. In Washington state, 70 cities and counties par-ticipate in the event. The event was held in 28 Mercer Island neighborhoods last year.

National Night Out brings neighbors together to increase crime prevention awareness; generate support for family emergency pre-paredness; and strengthen neighborhood spirit and community partnerships.

The event is also an opportunity for families and neighbors to meet each another, get to know each other better and become familiar with the faces of neighbors and city officials.

From 6 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 6, Mercer Island residents are asked to lock their doors, turn on outside lights and spend the evening outside with neigh-bors, police and fire, city

officials and city staff. Many Island neighbor-

hoods will be hosting a variety of special events such as block parties, cook-outs, visits from police, fire and city officials, flashlight walks, contests and youth activities.

To register your neigh-borhood for National Night Out, please contact Officer Jennifer Franklin at (206) 275-7905 or email [email protected] and ask to be placed on the registration list.

The Mercer Island School District has announced its three 2013 ‘Teachers of the Year.’

Heidi Harmening, Jeff Randolph and Tonya Van Orden were each recog-nized for their stellar work in the classroom this past school year.

Harmening is a kin-dergarten teacher at Lakeridge, where she has worked since 2006.

“It’s a rare day to find her without a smile on her face or a joke or funny story to share,” wrote a fel-low teacher in her nomina-tion.

Randolph is an English

teacher at Mercer Island High School.

“Mr. Randolph genu-inely relates to us and is a consistently understanding and entertaining source of knowledge and support,” wrote one of his students.

Van Orden, a science teacher at Islander Middle School since 1999, has helped students love the subject that she teaches.

“Students love her and push themselves beyond their comfort levels in pursuit of knowledge,” wrote a fellow teacher. “I wish that everyone could spend a few minutes in her classroom, as watching her teach is truly motiva-tional.”

City reminds residents to help keep pipes clean

The City of Mercer Island is reminding residents to help keep pipes clean in the city’s sewer system, which occasionally become clogged with fats, oils and grease that get put into the pipes from kitchens around the Island.

City staff, as part of the sanitary sewer utility, inspect the Island’s 500,000 feet of pipe and 18 pump sta-tions throughout the year. Fats, oils and grease from Island kitchens can severely clog pipes, specifically from meats, cooking oil, lard, shortening, butter and even ice cream. Because using hot water to wash those by-products down the drain will cause them to adhere to the inside of pipes, the city asks that those products be scraped into the garbage instead of the sink.

The city said that if each of the Island’s 7,300 sewer con-nections scrapped just one teaspoon of grease, oils or fat byproducts into the sewer each day, that causes up to 63 55-gallon drums to be cleaned each year.

To learn more, visit the city’s website at www.mer-

cergov.org.

State regulators approve rate plan for PSE

State regulators approved a multi-year rate plan for Puget Sound Energy (PSE) that will raise electric and gas rates beginning July 1, but limit increases for the next three to four years.

In approving the multi-year rate plan, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) will allow PSE to increase residential electric customers’ rates by 3.34 per-cent this year, while natural gas rates will change by 1.55 percent. The newly approved rates will produce $52.3 mil-lion of additional revenues for PSE’s electric operations and $9.1 million for its natu-ral gas operations.

During the next three to four years, the company may increase rates by a maximum of 3 percent of PSE’s annu-al revenue with any excess amounts above the 3 percent recovered in the following year. These increases are expected to be substantially below the level that the com-pany has received over the past several years. Among

the purposes of the multi-year rate plan is to provide the company with incentives to cut costs.

For the first year, the aver-age PSE residential electric customer using 1,000 kilo-watt hours-per-month will see their electric bill increase by $3.24, for a bill total of $100.33. The typical natu-ral gas customer using 68 therms a month would pay $1.28 more, for a revised bill of $77.89.

The commission received 215 public comments on PSE’s rate-increase proposal — 201 opposed, 3 in favor and 11 undecided.

Bellevue-based Puget Sound Energy serves 1.1 million electric custom-ers and 760,000 natural gas customers in parts of Snohomish, King, Pierce, Lewis, Thurston and Kittitas counties.

The UTC is the state agency in charge of regu-lating the private, investor-owned electric companies in Washington. It is the commission’s responsibil-ity to ensure that regulated companies provide safe and reliable service to custom-ers at reasonable rates, while allowing them the opportu-nity to earn a fair profit.

Teresa “Teri” Marie (Alfieri) PerroneSeattle native, Teresa “Teri” Marie

(Alfieri) Perrone, loving mother, sister, grandmother, and dear friend, died on Friday, May 31, 2013. She was 90.

Born in Seattle, WA on April 2, 1923 to parents, Angelo Gabriel and Anna Maria (Abrosia) Alfieri. Third born in a family of four children, Teri was welcomed by siblings Ralph (deceased) and Michael (deceased), and was followed by sister,

Celeste (deceased). Teri wed Tony Adolfo Perrone on June 7, 1947, and the couple had four children. Elaine Perrone (deceased), William Perrone (deceased), Michael Perrone (deceased), and Donna Perrone.

In the early-60s, the Perrones planted roots on Mercer Island and quickly became engrained in the fabric of the close-knit community. Teri and Tony opened their home to family and friends very frequently for many-a-shindig. Teri’s adventurous spirit inspired her to master the game of golf in her younger years, a sport her and Tony enjoyed playing together. She loved being outdoors and her green thumb brought her many successes as a member of the Garden Club.

Teri and Tony were world travelers, and her children, grandchildren, and close friends can attest to the fact that she always returned from their adventures with generous gifts. Among her everyday passions, outside of her family, were playing Bridge on Tuesdays and attending the movies whenever possible. Teri’s giving nature, light-hearted take on life, and signature laugh have left an indelible mark on those close to her and will live on through her loved ones.

Teri is survived by her daughter Donna Perrone, son-in-law Monty Meier, grandson Nate Perrone, granddaughter-in-law Emily (Thiele) Perrone, granddaughter Paige (Perrone) Koler, and grandson-in-law Damon Koler.

A memorial service will be held in her memory on Tuesday, July 9, 2013 at 11am at St. Monica’s Catholic Church on Mercer

Island with a reception to immediately follow.815393

She is survived by her husband Sig, daughters Ann Schoel of Green Valley, AZ and Betty Gibelyou of Kirkland, WA and grandchildren Mike and Katie Gibelyou.

Ardelle and Sig were involved in business for 35 years in SE Asia and travelled extensively in many parts of the world.

Ardelle was a fine athlete, excelling at figure skating in Canada, enjoyed many sports especially golf. She was a life-long volunteer, including Board member Seattle YWCA, Seattle Repertory Theater, Seattle Junior League, and Overlake Medical Center. She was a member of Seattle Tennis Club, Sahalee Country Club, Bellevue Club, and Mercer Island Beach Club.

Police Burglars climb onto roof, break through upper floor window

A North end couple was burglarized between 2:30 p.m. and 4:23 p.m. on Tuesday, June 25, in the 4000 block of E. Mercer Way while they were away from home. Suspects used the home-owners’ ladder to climb onto the roof, and enter through a smashed 2-by-3-foot window upstairs. Large footprints were discovered on a bedsheet, on a bed next to the window.

Numerous personal items were stolen, includ-ing a MacBook and diamond wedding ring, and a camera was stolen from a nightstand. A door handle was also broken off of an in-wall safe.

The home alarm sounded as the suspects made an exit.
