Couple requests variances for 1,500 s.f. home on a 2,300 s.f. lot

By Mary L. [email protected]

A tiny lot at the corner of 71st Avenue S.E. and S.E. 22nd Street has brought a neighborhood together in protest as a couple wishes to build a new home.

The lot - just 2,300 square feet in size, was purchased by a couple from Redmond who wish to build compact but modern house on the land which faces north toward the tennis courts at Aubrey Davis Park.

Despite its small footprint, it is zoned R-96 for a residential structure with a minimum lot size of 9,600 s.f. Yet, the lot, originally some 6,000 s.f. was cut in half when the state condemned land for construction of the lid over Interstate 90 in the 1970s.

While the size of the lot was the primary point of contention, neighbors are also at odds with the design of the house, which they contend is too tall and out of char-acter from the rest of the people who live along 71st Avenue S.E.

The applicants for the home, had requested variances from the city to allow narrowed setbacks and an increase the gross floor area and the amount of impervi-

ous surface. The present allowed limit for gross floor area is 45 percent. The applicant was asking for 77 percent.

City Development Services staff recommended that the vari-ances regarding reduced setbacks should be allowed. Yet, city staff recommended that increases in the gross floor area and impervi-ous surfaces, be denied.

Changes in setbacks and the adjustment in the gross floor area or impervious surfaces would allow the three-level structure to have projections from the roof - such as an overhang over the front door or a bump-out that would allow a bathroom to hold a full size tub, or a cover over a walk-way. In order to add more living space, the applicants could build a basement to increase the size of the home.

However, City planner, Shana Crick said that the small size of the lot does not preclude it from

Find out about the City Council’s position on I-594

On Tuesday evening, Sept. 2, the Mercer Island City Council held a public hearing regarding Initiative Measure No. 594, concern-ing background checks for firearm sales and transfers.

The ballot description said, “This measure would apply currently used crimi-nal and public safety back-ground checks by licensed dealers to all firearm sales and transfers, including gun show and online sales, with specific exceptions. Should this measure be enacted into law?”

The discussion and vote took place after Reporter deadline. To find out more, and to listen to the discus-sion, go to www.mercer-gov.org and click on the Agendas and Minutes tab on the left hand side of the main page.

City is updating Comprehensive Plan

Mercer Island is updat-ing its Comprehensive Plan, in accordance with the Growth Management Act and other state laws and regional plans. Because the City's existing (2005) Comprehensive Plan con-tinues to be largely con-sistent with ‘Vision 2040,’ multi-county planning policies, and other regional long-range strategies, the scope of the update effort is modest. This 2015 update consists largely of revising data and policies to better reflect current conditions and remain consistent with state requirements and regional plans. All Island residents and other stake-holders are invited to par-ticipate in updating pro-cess.

The City's Planning Commission serves as the primary working group

and advisory body for the Plan, and will host eight public workshops and hearings before forward-ing the plan with recom-mendations to the City Council. The next meet-ings are scheduled for tonight, September 3 (land use focus) and September 17 (transportation focus).

For more information on the work done to date, upcoming meetings and how you can participate, go to http://www.mercergov.org/Page.asp?NavID=3032

East Mercer fireThe Mercer Island Fire

Department responded to a house fire in the 5600 block of East Mercer Way thaat apparently started at 7 p.m., Friday night, Aug. 29. According to news reports smoke from the

fire could be seen from miles.

The Mercer Island Fire Department said that the cccupants of the home in the 5600 block of Mercer Island Way were able to escape safely. But by the time firetrucks from Mercer Island, the

Bellevue Fire Department and Eastside Fire and Rescue arrived, flames had already engulfed three-quarters of the home, news reports said.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Mary L. Grady / Staff photoThis house in the 5600 block of East Mercer Way is in ruins after a fire on Friday night, Aug. 29. Two burned vehicles can been seen in the ruined garage in the foreground. The people at home when the fire began, got out safely.

construction of a residential structure. These variances involving the setbacks will allow a building on the property, she said.

Crick said that staff had determined that a home built there, “would not injure” the area or neigh-borhood around it.

The width of the lot is 25 feet wide. The structure itself will be 12 to 13 feet wide.

At a meeting with King County hearing examiner, Anne Watanabe, nine peo-ple spoke about the propos-al including the applicant. The others were neighbors who spoke passionately against the tiny house, say-ing it was out of charac-ter for the neighborhood that has been changing to accommodate families with children. Some argued it could possibly cause traf-fic impacts at the corner. Other said that it was a dangerous precedence for the city to allow homes to be built on such small lots.

Most relied on the most obvious characteristic of the lot — its tiny size.

Island realtor Laura Reymore spoke first. She represented Jennie Warren who purchased the home on the south-side of the lot just a few years ago. She noted that at the time of the transaction, it seem improbable if not impos-sible that someone would choose to built on the site. Warren said the new house would have a detrimental effect on her privacy and her children.

Reymore said that she consulted with fellow real estate professionals about the proposal. One told her that if the variances were approved it would benefit the applicant and his prop-erty values but diminish

the property values of the neighbors.

Colin Kwong, the appli-cant also spoke at the hear-ing held at the City Council chamber at City Hall. He turned toward his potential neighbors as he spoke. He said that he and his wife, Ming Fung, want to become a part of the neighborhood.

He described the concept of the narrow building as being “cozy, simple, mod-ern and elegant.”

“That is the vision I have," he said. “We just need a bit of wiggle room to make it work,” he continued, refer-ring to the setbacks needed to accommodate the 'pro-jections' from the roof and deck.

Neighbor Brian Mock rejected that idea, saying that the applicant knew the lot needed variances to the code from the city, when he purchased the lot.

“It represents a 'shoe-horn’' lot, that will interfere with existing uses,” he said. “It should not be allowed. It will set a poor example and open the door to similar variances that would com-promise the existing char-acter of the Island.”

Jon Abrahamson, a build-er who also lives on 71st Avenue S.E., said that the space is simply too small. Referring to the park and the available street parking adjacent to the lot, he said “it is an attempt to use pub-lic space as private space.”

His wife, Teresa noted that in the 16 years they have lived on the street, the houses have certainly changed, yet none as much as this one.

She always believed that the empty lot might be con-verted to a pea patch or some other community use.

Viktoria (Vicki) Sussanna Tveten Reddy

Vicki Reddy, born March 26, 1915 in Nokomis, Saskatchewan, Canada, passed on quietly and peacefully on August 20, 2014 at the age of 99. The youngest of the 13 children of Norwegian immigrants, she spent her childhood on the family homestead sharing a 12 by 14 foot sod house, without running water or plumbing and only a wood stove, with her large family until a bigger, four bedroom home could be built. It burned down in 1926. The self-su� cient family worked their small farm, growing, raising, or � shing for all of their needs and attended a one room school house that included the 1st through the 8th grades. She was related to most of the students.

Vicki moved to Tacoma, Washington in 1929, where she graduated from Lincoln High School, shortly after her 15th birthday. After working and saving her money for an adventurous trip to Tahiti and proudly becoming an American citizen, she met and married William (Bill) Reddy in 1943.

Bill and Vicki moved to Seattle, then to the very south end of remote Mercer Island in 1949, where they raised their three children and had years of enjoyment on Lake Washington and at the Mercer Island Beach Club, where she was secretary for 25 years.

Vicki’s passion was bridge. A Life Master, she enjoyed playing with Bill, in numerous tournaments, with her many bridge friends on ‘bridge junkets’ and years of ‘fun’ bridge at the Beach Club, the Lutheran Church and lately at the Mercer Island Community Center. She was able to remain in her home after Bill passed away in 2006 thanks to the care, skill and judgment of her fabulous caregivers, Anna and Marizol who became friends and ‘part of the family.’

Vicki will be remembered as a giving, compassionate woman with a big heart, yet an inner core of steel that allowed her to say daily, “everything’s just � ne,” regardless of the situation. If she ever had a bad word to say about anyone, it was never shared.

She is survived by her three children, Jim Reddy and Penny Storie and their spouses and Tom Reddy, along with eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.

Vicki will be celebrated daily as we try to emulate her strength, love of life and positive, gentle demeanor.

Police

By Brandon Macz, Bellevue Reporter

Law enforcement offi-cers in Washington are no longer just asking drivers if they've been drinking when they're pulled over, as legalized marijuana in the state adds the ques-tion, “Have you smoked anything today?”

The Washington State Patrol on Wednesday brought in local drug rec-ognition experts to explain the process for determining driver impairment during traffic stops for substances other than alcohol, which takes about 45 minutes and typically happens after an arrest has been made.

Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden said the effects of alcohol and mari-juana are not only differ-ent, but the effects of mari-juana can also differentiate among users based on fac-tors like smoking-versus-ingesting and the potency of marijuana and its prod-ucts.

While 5 nanograms per milligram is the limit for marijuana impairment

through blood testing, it doesn’t mean a driver under the limit isn't still impaired. It is also difficult to say how soon following consumption of marijuana a person should get behind the wheel.

“Our recommendation is better to be safe than sorry,” Harnden said, add-ing marijuana legalization occurred in Washington quickly, leaving little time for research to be done to assist police with enforce-ment. “It’s just a matter of learning more and more."

There are 215 drug rec-ognition experts in the state. All DREs undergo rigorous training to be able to detect drug impairment, and Harnden said many impaired drivers tend to be under the influence of more than one drug.

Washington State University is currently developing a roadside breath test for marijuana, which could be a great asset to police.

Drivers still have the option of refusing to take the test.

215 local police officers now trained to identify drug use

St. Monica School receives $20,000 grant for STEM work

By Reporter Staff

St. Monica School recently received a $20,000 grant from local non-profit, the Garneau-Nicon Family Foundation.

The grant was used to fund a week-long inten-sive STEM/project-based learning training for all St. Monica teachers and staff. In partnership with the

University of Washington, UW trainers worked with teachers while making curriculum recommenda-tions.

As part of the first phase of the STEM integration in which the school is adopt-ing, St. Monica teachers will begin to gradually implement a project-based learning approach across grades Pre-K through eighth in the 2014-15 school year. It will focus on increased teacher col-laboration to plan and sup-port instruction, as well as student collaboration to

participate in concrete, hands-on experiences.

The goal is to teach stu-dents how to solve real-life problems through collab-oration with their peers, learning through hands-on projects, conducting research and engaging various forms of technol-ogy to support their work.

By having a solid under-standing of math, science, engineering and technol-ogy, students will be better equipped to handle high school and college-level curriculums.

Japanese Culture Fair at Bellevue College

went off Island.”Now Friedman and his

partner hope to be a part of what Stopsky’s co-owner Jeff Sanderson calls a cul-tural “renaissance” for the city.

“In the last few years with all the new housing and the things being planned, we see a renaissance [happen-ing] here,” said Sanderson, earlier this month. “That bodes well for a bunch of people to continue and take up the torch that we first lit with [Stopsky’s]”

Homegrown calls itself a socially conscious busi-ness. Not only are its ingre-dients locally sourced and organic, but Friedman and Gillis aim to make healthy food accessible to the mass-es. When the two started brainstorming business plans in 2007, that entre-preneurial spirit was largely new on the scene.

“This idea that you could come up with your own enterprise and make change, instead of working in the private sector and giving back when you’re 50, was a new one,” says Friedman.

Having grown up in the Northwest, he and Gillis both wanted to build a business that connected them to the environment. Food became the obvious choice.

“Few things connect people to the environmen-tal cause more than the land itself,” says Friedman.

But while they set out to change people’s eating hab-its, they soon found that

people already knew how to eat healthy. The prob-lem was that they sacrificed their health goals, when they ate out. Affordable options were in such short supply.

“Really, it’s about chang-ing the accessibility to this type of food,” he says.

Homegrown divides its menu into three main cate-gories — soups, sandwich-es and salads — all of them 100 percent organic, and many of it from Sprouting Farm in Woodinville. The menu includes a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato jam, a turkey, bacon and avocado option, as well as seasonal offerings which this fall will feature butter-nut squash with maple but-ter. Homegrown also caters for local businesses, wed-dings and special events.

Having such an imme-diate connection to local agriculture has taught them to not only appreci-ate the hard work that goes into each product, but to remain humble.

“We were 22 when we started,” says Friedman. “We knew nothing about what we were doing. That almost served as an advan-tage because we were always crowdsourcing when we faced a challenge.”

Now, the Island duo are coming home.

“The Island has changed a lot, the downtown has changed a lot,” says Friedman. “Some of it is for the better, and some of it is not. But it will be really fun to give back to our community.”

More than 100 youths on waitlist for City’s sailing and kayaking lessons

By Joseph [email protected]

When Mercer Island Parks and Recreation coor-dinator Ryan Daly and recreation assistant Sarah Waddington went over reg-istration numbers for this summer’s youth boating programs, they could hard-ly believe what they saw.

“We were at 98.5% full this year with 103 people on the waiting list,” said Daly. “Looking at the num-bers, we had to double-check because there were just so many people inter-ested. It’s almost hard to accommodate that many

people. It’s our highest percentage for being a full class, it’s very popular.”

The Parks and Rec’s boating program has come a long way since it began in 2008. Offered to youth as young as 6 up to 17 years old, the 40 participants that turned out that first year has more than tripled, with 128 participating this past summer. Initially offer-ing courses in sailing and kayaking, the program has since expanded to offer paddle boarding and keel boat cruising. The program has grown each year since 2008, with Parks and Rec adding more classes each year that fill and fill and fill.

“One of the unique things compared to a lot of our other classes is that it fills up in April,” said Daly. “When it’s pouring down

rain, people are already thinking about signing up for these classes, which is amazing. Parents are plan-ning their summer around the camp programs their kids are going to take that early in the season.”

Waddington said because the boating camps aren’t offered in many places, it makes the boating program significant and unique. For people living on an Island, there is plenty to be gained from the aquatics courses.

“The first day, [the kids] take a swim test and get used to being in the water. [The instructors] have them put on a life jacket in the water. Safety is always first,” said Waddington.

“In the Opti [sailing] classes, they flip the boats over, put the kids in the water and then they teach them how to flip the boats back over and right the boat. They’re 6 years old. It’s amazing that a kid like that can learn leverage and hop back into the boat,” said Daly.

Parks and Rec partners with Sail Sand Point and Kayak Academy to lead the programs, which provides most of the aquatics gear, including boats, paddle boards and life jackets. “We go completely with the professionals, because they know everything, they have the most up-to-date equip-ment and safety is there number-one priority,” said

Daly.Having a boathouse on

the dock is crucial for the program, as it gives the instructors a place to leave their boats and gear, ulti-mately helping to minimize set-up time and allowing for more time in the water for the kids.

Waddington said with just as many people on the waiting list as registered for camps this past sum-mer, the program is defi-nitely looking at expansion. People have asked about adult courses, which Daly said the program will prob-ably end up offering some-time in the future. One of

the issues with expand-ing would be if the part-ner organizations would be able to provide Parks and Rec with more instruc-tors. But Daly says having to accommodate so many

interested participants is a good problem to have.

If the program is able to continue it’s growth, there certainly would be no

It’s a warm summer morning on Mercer Island, and the Mercer Island Farmer’s Market has just opened for the day. Vendors are lined up and down 32nd Street, selling everything from fresh flowers and pro-duce to Japanese teas. As shoppers enter the market however, the first things they see are the food trucks.

Many customers won-der whether or not the food trucks truly fit in with the Mercer Island Farmer’s Market’s mission of creating a sustainable community that connects growers and consum-ers. After all, are their foods locally grown, or just locally made? Many would be surprised to

learn that the Mercer Island Farmer’s Market requires that at least 50% of the food trucks’ ingre-dients come from local farms and businesses in Washington State, if not more.

In addition, the food trucks provide market-goers with great lunch options, as the Mercer Island Farmer’s Market is open from 10 AM until 3 PM. Current food trucks offer a variety of locally made foods, including organic soups, healthy veggie quesadillas, qui-noa bowls, crepes, grass fed beef burgers, chowder, fish n chips, grits, and fusion taco and bahn-mi sandwiches. Shoppers can sit down and grab a quick bite to eat before resum-ing their shopping.

The food trucks at the

Mercer Island Farmer’s Market play an important role, complementing the market with their unique tastes and healthy ingre-dients. They help to con-nect our community by buying ingredients from local farms and business-es, and provide customers with fresh, ready-to-eat foods. Treat yourself to something different this Sunday.

Dana He is a market-ing intern for the Mercer Island Farmer’s Market.

The Mercer Island Farmers Market will con-

tinue on Sundays in the Town Center through Oct.

12. The Harvest Market is November 23. For more

Breaking through barriersChallenged by coaches in the offseason, Islanders look to respond on the field

On the surface, finishing in the top three of its divi-sion and earning a trip to the playoffs doesn’t sound so bad for a prep football squad that graduated many of its starters.

“For people outside the program, it looked like we exceeded expectations, and in that manner it was a suc-cessful year,” said senior line-backer and captain David Emanuels of Mercer Island’s campaign last season. “But coming back this year, we want to do more than what we did last year. We’re just not satisfied with another season like that. This is the year we’re trying to break into that next level.”

For Mercer Island foot-ball, that next level means becoming a stronger unit with an increased focus on

mental and physical tough-ness. It was a demand thrown down by the coach-ing staff after the end of last season, which saw the Islanders fall in its final four contests after opening the season 4-1.

“Looking back at some of the big games last season, we didn’t feel like we had the toughness we needed to come out on top,” said Emanuels. “That’s why we were trying to implement being tougher the entire off-season; so when those big games come, we can come up big and play physical.”

Head coach Brett Ogata said he was pleased with how the players have responded thus far to the increased demands from the coaching staff. “We believe these players have a lot of potential, and we need to

push them. We’re going through walls and barriers of what we really want to be this year,” he said. “So far, I’m happy. But we have a long way to go.”

As a team, the Islanders know how far they go ulti-mately falls on the work ethic and mental focus they display on the field. Quarterback Alfonso Gonzalez acknowledged that while playing in KingCo 3A/2A, a division opposite six-time repeating state champion Bellevue, nothing will be given to the Islanders.

“Every week, we have to prepare well. It’s a very good league,” he said. “Our team, we believe we can play tougher. But to those on the outside, that’s something we have to prove throughout the season.”

2014 FALL SPORTS PREVIEWS

Football

Volleyball

Photo by Joseph Livarchik

Captains (from left) Joe Williams, Alfonso Gonzalez and David Emanuels look to toughen up their game as the Islanders take to the gridiron this fall.

With the school year getting into swing, fall sports are not far behind. Eight Mercer Island sports teams are ready for action, with three defending state titles. Here is a closer look at the teams representing Mercer Island that will be hitting the court, the links, the pool and the gridiron.

Defending their courtGirls volleyball set to begin title defense

Mercer Island volley-ball had high expectations going into its 2012 season, only to see those hopes dashed early in the state tournament. The expe-rience affected how the Islanders approached their season the following year.

“Last year, we didn’t even set our major postseason goals until after we finished our first round through KingCo ,” said senior cap-tain Brooke Behrbaum. “We try to postpone that toward the end, so we really focus on our league and improving our individual skills and how we work as a team. It’s more about the now instead of the future.”

After winning its first-ever state title, Mercer Island volleyball is set to begin its title defense, and the team is doing so by once again tempering expectations.

“If we’re not underdogs, I don’t know how other teams might view us,” said coach Susan McKay. “I think it was really nice for us all last year being under-dogs and no one expect-ing us to win state except for ourselves. I think now, having the title of defend-ing state champions, I think there’s automatically a little bit of a bullseye on you.”

The team defending its

title looks a little different from last year’s group. The Islanders lost nine play-ers from last year’s team, including KingCo Co-MVP and state tournament MVP, Sarah Lindquist.

“I don’t think there’s one person who’s going to replace her,” said McKay. “I think realistically, my goal is to have a slightly differ-ent team in the sense that last year we had a really predictable offense and we were constantly just setting the outsides. My goal is to have a more-well round-ed offense so that we are spreading the ball around, which is more difficult for other teams to defend against and it means that we can rely on more play-ers. So I think our team will be better if we don’t try to just fill one role, I think the goal is to be a more bal-anced team. Trying to make a new Sarah Lindquist in one year is not going to happen.”

The Islanders will look to its five returning mem-bers to mentor younger

players through the more intense moments, similar to the environment they played through at the state tournament last year. Team defense is a focus for the Islanders, fittingly enough for a defending state champ.

And as they go out and defend their title, the Islanders will work toward making sure they don’t get ahead of themselves.

“We want to set more immediate goals and focus on one match at a time,” said McKay. “My biggest goal for the team is, and we’ve done this pretty well in the past but not ever completely achieved it, where we’ve actually played well in every single regular season match. Sometimes we have letdowns or games we don’t take as seriously, the goal is to always play at a high level no matter who the opponent is. Play our game, it doesn’t matter who’s on the other side of the court, play our level all the time.”

shortage of reasons why it’d be worthwhile.

“Even at the youngest age, those kids by the end of the week could take their Opti boat, put it in the water themselves, put the sail up, sail around and come back in,” said Daly. “In my mind for that age group, that’s really impressive to be able to go out there. It really

teaches water safety skills to the kids. Which living on the Island, they’re always in the water around here.”

“They have this sense of responsibility and owner-ship in their skills, it’s just confidence-boosting. That translates through every aspect of their life,” said Waddington. “It’s special, it’s very special and you don’t get many opportunities to have camps like these.”

The Mercer Island High School Boys Water Polo Team ended its first week of practice Friday with an old tradition – the Lake Swim. The team swam across Lake Washington to Seattle paralleling I-90 and ran back across the I-90 bridge segment between

Seattle and the west side of Mercer Island.

Athletes dove into the water early Friday morn-ing to the encouragement of family, friends and the Mercer Island High School cheerleading squad. The players were accompanied across the lake by a flotilla of paddle boards, boats and kayaks.

Coaches Andrew Smith-Jones and Blake van-Hartesvelt got into the action as well, swimming with the team across the channel. Head Coach Smith-Jones said, “It

was a real sense of accom-plishment for the team. It showed every athlete that he was well prepared to compete after the first week of practice and it was a great team bonding event. We cheered each other on and team mem-bers helped each other with the challenge.”

The athletes created quite a stir on their return

run as they traversed the I-90 Bridge in their mini-malist attire of running shoes, Speedos and water polo caps.

vanHartesvelt, an alum-ni of MIHS who played for the team during his years at the high school added, “This was a great event and team tradition. It's good to be a part of it again.”

Not losing focusDefending state tennis champs aim to keep eye on the prize

After winning its fourth-consecutive state tennis title last spring, confidence remains high with Mercer Island boys tennis as the team prepares for the fall campaign. While the Islanders have good reason, head coach Ryan Pang is making sure his team keeps its focus and doesn’t get complacent.

“Just because it’s Mercer Island tennis doesn’t mean

that they step on the court and they’re going to win the match automatically,” he said.

“This year, Bellevue’s go-ing to be tough, Newport’s going to be tough. I think there’s a little bit more mo-tivation behind every prac-

tice and every match we play prior to those two big matches. We’re not neces-sarily going to walk over ev-erybody.”

The boys tennis team only lost two members from last year’s squad, but those two players were state qualifi-

ers Henry Smith and Matt Seifert. Smith took sixth at state in singles competition, while Seifert was one-half of Mercer Island’s state doubles title winners. Still, return-ing a significant number of players from last year’s team, the Islanders believe the ball is in their court and matches will be as close as they make it.

“I’m asking that they stay focused, stay motivated and have something in mind they want to work on each time they go on the court,” said Pang. “Anyone, even the best players, if their head is somewhere else, they could easily lose a match. It’s mak-ing sure that every time they step on the court, they have something motivating them to perform.”

Never satisfiedBoys water polo looks to play its best at the right time

A year after finish-ing runner-up to Bellevue in the state championship game, boys water polo coach Andrew Smith-Jones is anx-ious for his team to pick up where they left off.

“I’m at the point where the season just needs to start,” said the first-year coach, who also coaches girls water polo and is taking the helm after serving as an assistant coach last year. “I’m excited to see where we are to start the season, because I know we’re going to start the sea-son better than we finished last year. On top of that, I’m super excited to get started because after talking with the boys, the kids are super excited [for the season to start]. It’s time to get after it and see what we have.”

There’s much to be excited about, with holdovers from

last year’s squad includ-ing all four captains: Jack Larkin, Anthony Pedreira, Trevor Gullstad and Topher Lacrampe. All four earned All-State honors during last year’s state tournament, which saw an Islander rally fall a mere three goals short in the title game.

Smith-Jones said he plans to rely on depth and experi-ence to help carry the team. “Realistically, I see that we have twelve solid players that can kind of go inter-changeably. We have a little bit of depth this year that other schools don’t neces-sarily have, and it’s my goal to utilize that depth as best

as possible and show that we have more than six or seven or eight guys that can [contribute]; we have four-teen or fifteen guys that can contribute at any moment.”

As the Islanders try to find their way back to the state tournament, Smith-Jones will work toward keeping his team hungry throughout the season, building toward playing its best possible water polo at the right time.

“We’re going to continue to progress and not peak too early. We’re never going to be satisfied for anything.”

Forget the capes - real heroes wear pink

Mercer Island Firefighters will be con-ducting their annual ‘Fill the Boot’ collec-tion to benefit Muscular Dystrophy research and treatment beginning at 8 a.m., Sept. 8, at the inter-section of S.E. 40th Street at Island Crest Way. Get that cash ready.

For a week in October, Island Firefighters will be wearing pink T-shirts on duty in support of breast cancer awareness. The International Association

of Firefighters and the Susan G. Komen founda-tion have created a part-nership to promote this idea to continue the fight against breast cancer.

Mercer Island Fire Chief Chris Tubbs made a for-mal request to the local firefighters union to allow the change in uniform.

This has been done across the country for several years now as well as by some of the depart-ments in the local area. Island firefighters will also be selling the pink fire-man’s shirts to the public.

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
