The Mercer Island Education Association tallied their votes Aug. 30, and with a strong 93
percent of yes votes, ratified their new three-year contract with the Mercer Island School District. “We are looking forward to having a successful school year with our students,” said MIEA president Tani Lindquist. Lindquist said the 7 percent in opposition were either not happy with

additional responsibility or the new schedule that will take effect in the 20122013 academic school year. The new schedule will switch the early release day from Monday to Wednesday, which will require teachers to re-tool many of their lesson plans. The Mercer Island School District Board of Directors will review the contract at their next regular meeting on Sept. 8.
The sun came out on Tuesday just as auctioneer Lanny Thomas with J.P. King Auction Company began the official auction at the residence of David and Becky Sandwith, located at 4137 Boulevard Place. Potential bidders, neighbors, the curious and several members of the press had the opportunity to tour the 13,600-square-foot home, while noshing on catered hors d’ouevres before the action started. “What we’re selling here is a lifestyle,” Thomas said before opening the bidding. But as it turns out, no one bought the lifestyle. Not yet, anyway. Each of the four registered bidders was required to deposit $100,000 with the auctioneer when they registered, which they will get back. Although there was no “minimum bid,” there was a reserve on the property — a number that the bidding would not be allowed to go under. Thomas warmed up the crowd by auctioning a lovely glass vase with the bidding open to anyone in attendance. The vase sold for $225 with the proceeds going to Children’s Hospital. Then he started off with an optimistic $34 million on the home — with no response, dropping to $30 million, $25 million, $17.5 million and finally $15.5 million, when he informed the crowd that must be the opening bid. J.P. King has the right to sell the property for several

months. Tommy Board, vice president of sales for J.P. King, said the next step will be to meet individually with the four registered bidders and see if a sale can be negotiated. However, at least one gentleman who was there and not a registered bidder wants to talk to them, too. “I’m saddened; it’s such a beautiful home,” said broker Lou Glatz with John L. Scott Real Estate, who works as a team with her daughter, Lori Holden. Glatz said this home offered much more than the Lytle home, another Mercer Island waterfront mansion, which sold for $12 million last year. Holden said the house originally came on the market for $32 million. It was on the market for 689 days, during

Traffic news New four-way stop to be installed near Thrift Shop A new four-way stop will be installed at the intersection of 78th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 34th Street in midSeptember. The intersection, located at the south edge of the Town Center, is the last four-way intersection on 78th Avenue in the Town Center currently not all-way stop-controlled. Residents of the area have been concerned about pedestrian safety when crossing the street and the increase in traffic volume at the intersection due to the proximity of the traffic from the Mercer Island Thrift Shop and Mercerdale Park. The installation of the new four-way stop supports the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan by creating a protected pedestrian crossing at the intersection and improving pedestrian circulation between the upper and lower Mercerdale neighborhoods. Sight distance for the east leg of the intersection is currently restricted due to the existing rocks on the southeast corner of the intersection. The limited sight distance makes it difficult for motorists to see approaching
northbound vehicles and for northbound motorists to see pedestrians standing on the east corner waiting to cross the street. The cost to install the fourway stop is estimated to be $2,000, while the estimated cost of removing the rocks to improve the sight distance is upwards of $50,000.
SR-520 tolling to start in December Tolling on State Route 520 across Lake Washington will start in December, the Washington State Department of Transportation announced last week. Tolling on the bridge was set to begin this past spring. “It has been no secret that we’ve had challenges getting this system up and running, and the work has been more difficult than we anticipated,” said WSDOT Deputy
PSE to inventory, survey Island electrical grid By Reporter Staff
Puget Sound Energy has begun a six-week pilot survey on Mercer Island to begin updating technology used by Washington’s largest local utility to track and more efficiently respond to power outages as well as provide customers with improved outage restoration information.
The survey will continue through September. In surveying the electric system, PSE contractors will photograph, video and survey utility equipment on power poles and transformers, including adding geospatial tags. Data collected from the survey will be used to help PSE deploy an advanced outage management system that will pinpoint the sources of power outages more quickly, boost crew efficiency, and predict
and help PSE communicate customer restoration times more accurately. PSE’s contractors include Infotech Enterprises America, Osmose Utility Services and Utility Data Contractors. PSE is committed to providing safe, dependable and efficient energy service. For more information, contact the PSE Customer Access Center at 1-888-225-5773 or go to www.PSE.com.

Secretary David Dye. Much of the issue comes with the fact that the system planned for SR-520 has never been implemented before. While none of the features are new, they have never been aggregated before. “Electronic tolling already exists, photo tolling already exists, but we’re taking the best of everything and putting them into one system,” a press release said. The system is expected to track and handle more than 100,000 daily transactions on the SR-520 bridge. The tolls will be captured either through Good To Go windshield stickers or through license-recognition photos, which automatically generate a bill that is mailed to drivers. Tolling on SR-520 is expected to raise $1 billion overall toward the $4.65 billion SR-520 bridge replacement.

Running Start students to pay State will no longer pay for high school students to attend community college By Linda Ball lball@mi-reporter.com
Initiated by the legislature in 1990, Running Start is a program intended to provide public high school students with the option to attend college while still in high school. Students can earn high school and college/university credits at the same time. Students in grades 11 and 12 were allowed to participate in Running Start at public expense, subject only to minimal eligibility and procedural requirements. However, changes that affected every high school and college in Washington took place this summer. For Insurance and Financial Services TIM CASHMAN (So. of Islander Restaurant)

school classes are paid for by the state, and the other class is usually funded by local levies, Hubert said. But now, for example, if a student is taking a five-credit college course instead of a threecredit course, they must pay the difference. Tuition for five credits for a resident at Bellevue College is $1,096; three credits is $658, so the difference that a student exceeding the 1.2 FTE would pay is $439. Jennifer Wright, the executive director of learning and technology services for the Mercer Island School District, said last spring 28 FTE students from Mercer Island High School participated in Running Start. It’s too soon to know how many students are participating this fall since the colleges all start at different times, she said. High school students can take classes at the participating institution in person or online. The entire college catalog is available to Running Start students, assuming that they have met any prerequisites that the college requires for the class. In most cases, Washington community and technical college credits are transferable to out-of-state colleges or universities. For more information, go to www.k12.wa.us.

Subtle but unsafe H
ooray for the city for acting on traffic safety issues that dog key Island intersections. Despite the hassles of construction, there will finally be stoplights on Island Crest Way and in the Town Center. The clearing of vegetation at the intersection of Avalon Drive and East Mercer Way on the South end, is another example — and another is the headache at S.E. 34th Street and 78th Avenue S.E. at the Mercer Island Youth and Family Services Thrift Store. There, the city will install stop signs on 78th Avenue S.E. to create a four-way stop. The primary reason for the new signs is the lack of visibility for those headed west down a short, but steep hill to the stop sign on S.E. 34th St.. At that point, you cannot see the traffic, on the left heading north toward you on 78th, where drivers — ahem, often do not slow to the 25 mile-per-hour limit. The four-way stop will make it safer there. Yet, the thrift store on the opposite side of 78th on the same corner, has created all kinds of extra traffic and parking pressure near the intersection. The store is open more hours People come from everywhere to visit the store, well known for the high probability of finding high-end items discarded by Island residents. And the city casts its net far and wide for shoppers, advertising in the Seattle Weekly as it has and other publications. It is the cumulative effect of many seeming small acts that make it unsafe for both drivers and pedestrians at or near that intersection. Shoppers regularly make U turns in the street to head back to 78th or use the driveways of neighbors to turn around as they leave. Four times each day, children are walking to the southwest corner of that intersection to wait for the school bus. The sidewalks end west of 78th. Special events such as Summer Celebration!, the farmer’s market or simply the warm weather, bring more families in cars to Mercerdale Park, filling the parking lot and nearby streets. Skateboarders, cyclists, strollers and people walking their dogs also enter the mix. In other words, it is a busy place and sometimes a dangerous one even in the daylight. We are glad that so many shop at the thrift store, as it makes a good deal of money for important programs for the community. But the store with the park, makes S.E. 34th Street more than a residential street.
‘It is the cumulative effect of many small acts that makes an intersection unsafe.’

SHOW ME THE EXIT
DON’T SELL YOUR BUSINESS THIS YEAR! Unless you worked all year to prepare. By Bill Pearsall
P
As a typical example, and sign of the times, Sharon Granite and her husband Slab grew their construction engineering practice over two decades. For many years annual sales were $2.5 Million. By 2010 sales had eroded and $1.0 Million was a stretch.

ten Buyers. The sale must pencil for all concerned. Business Brokers recast and adjust the financials. True cash flow and earnings are determined and used in a supportable valuation. This process concurrently identifies the detailed areas for adding value and improving the price. The goal is to maximize value with little or no capital expense. An Intermediary focuses on increasing value by 100%. This can involve a 1% improvement on 100 items. The Broker’s team helps to determine if the Client CAN retire. Intermediaries assist in the design and implementation of the financial planning component. Will their savings along with the sale of the business meet their goals? Also, for tax purposes many transaction design elements can and should be set in place prior to the sale. This step is a huge benefit and eliminates surprises. The goal is peace of mind. Business Brokers go to market and make the sale. When ready, target lists of candidates are developed and target specific presentation materials are prepared. In this case we needed to replace Slab Granite with another engineer with the same discipline or an engineering firm looking to add Slab’s client base. Marketing should be designed to attract a broad group of candidates. The cream raises to the top and those at the top are the only ones the Sellers meet. Brokers are transaction designers and coordinators. The Client runs their business and the Broker rides herd over the transaction through the close and post close transition. And Business Brokers usually don’t get paid until the close.
Any business can increase value with a little preparation.
They read an engineering industry article saying the current business value would be between 30% & 40% of annual revenue. Therefore a $300K to $400K expectation was in their mind and they decided to sell and retire within 6 months or if it didn’t sell, keep it a couple more years until construction increased. Still sound familiar? Their Accountant called to engage our intermediary services. Upon review we advised Sharon and Slab not to sell but take 6-months to build value. Our goal would be a sale between $650K & $700K or more. How does a Business Broker do that? Business Brokers Discard Industry Value Estimates. Every business is different. There are niches and specialties in every industry. Each with a different value. Ten Buyers will have ten different perceptions of value. It’s the Broker’s job to set and justify value and find and qualify the

reparing your business for sale is like painting a house. The hard work is filling the cracks, sanding down the rough spots and protecting areas that don’t need paint. Once prepared, applying the paint is easy and the results add value far beyond the effort and expense. Any business can significantly increase value with preparation. So take the time to fill the cracks or smooth out the rough spots.

WE ARE NOT A GIMMICK. We are not going to transform your body in 24 hours, Or promise you results in 6 minutes or less. What we are going to do is change how you move, Change how you eat, And change how you think, All to change how you feel.
The varsity soccer players returning to the field this fall for Mercer Island have seen pretty much everything. The 10 returners have seen the highs and lows — from the state championship to not making the playoffs last season. But the Islanders are ready for this season on the pitch, ready to weather whatever this season brings. “It’s going really good,” said returning head coach Nicole Nelson. “We have a nice group of girls out here who are really excited to be a team together.” Working as a team will be a season-long theme for the Islanders, promoted by the three captains, Celina Solomon, Bella Stribling, and Corey Goelz. “We want to see team unity,” said Stribling, as one of the captains’ goals for the season. “Everyone likes to see how we’re developing,” said Solomon of the program as a whole. “We have 70 girls this year and added a fourth team. I think we have a good future ahead.” With a large crop of returning players, Nelson said one thing definitely won’t be changing — the team’s speed. “I would say our quickness of play and speed, but that shouldn’t be any surprise to our opponents,” said Nelson of the team’s strengths. “Our goal keeping is really strong.”
We are a lot of things, but we are certainly not a gimmick. And we think it’s time you found out why.

Mercer Island suffers OT loss By Megan Managan
mmanagan@mi-reporter.com
A week prior to their first game of the season, the Mercer Island football captains said they wanted to beat Seattle Prep decisively, after winning in just the final seconds of the game last year.
This year, playing under the lights at Century Link Field, the Islanders did not get their decisive win, but came close. Seattle Prep won the game in overtime 36-35. The team’s played each other in the final match of the Emerald City Kickoff Classic at Seahawk Stadium, and for the first three quarters it was the Panthers show. Seattle Prep scored 20 unanswered points before
Mercer Island got on the board with a 13-yard touchdown run by quarterback Jeff Lindquist in the middle of the second. A safety followed minutes later for the Islanders, giving the teams a 21-9 score going into the

In a fragmented season, with league play in the fall and playoffs in the spring, it would be easy for any local boys tennis team to lose sight of its goals. For returning 3A state champions Mercer Island, they are trying not to think about it too much. “I think there might be expectations that we can do it because we hadn’t won state in six years — I think if these guys work hard, we

I would say last year some girls were disappointed with how the season went, so the expectation is that we change the culture at practice, change the culture here so they have the outcome they desire.� Goelz, the goalkeeper for the team, said she feels like the team has a strong balance of returning and new players this fall. “I would say one of the things I would like to see them accomplish is that they meet their individual goals and that they come away

The team started off the season with a rehashing of last year’s start, against Seattle Prep in a non-conference game on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Prep won the 3A state title last fall and dominated the Islanders during the game in 2010. “We want to show them how much different we are than last year’s team,� said Stribling. The Islanders will play their first conference match against Lake Washington at the Kangs’ field on Sept. 13 with a 7:30 p.m. start time. They then travel to Juanita on Sept. 15 before playing their first home game against Bellevue on Sept. 22.

big thing is we have two real standouts as freshman and then we also have three other freshman who made the team, which is pretty rare to have five. There was a high level freshman influx this year.� Those freshman will be led on and off the court by the Islanders’ three captains, seniors Jordan Smith and Jeremy Chow, and junior Zack Elliot. They have helped the team, already, Dieveney said, by creating a strong work ethic at practice. “I feel there is a natural work ethic for these guys who have come out. They’ve been practicing with intensity from the get-go and these guys want to practice hard, and I think we’ll see great results from that,� he said. “They have been intense at practice, and it has trickled down to the other guys.� For the captains, they said they want the team to have fun, but also work hard. “It’s going to take hard

With that hard work, the team hopes to secure their second state title in as many years, and hopefully, Elliot said, by a larger margin than last year. For their coach, getting to that spot is going to take finding the right doubles pairing. “Working on their doubles, a lot of these guys like to play singles and having chemistry and finding that. I think that will definitely help us win state. It’s hard to win with just a bunch of singles players,� he said. The Islanders will begin their season playing at Mount Si on Sept. 13. “It’s our first match, and I want us to get off to a good start,� said Smith. Overall, though, Dieveney said he wants them to be focused on the match of the day, not looking too far ahead. “We’re going to treat each match the same. I think that I don’t know if there is one in particular, so we’ll treat them all the same. I think they’ll be ready to compete
come match day,� said the coach. The Islanders will host their first home match of the season against Lake Washington on Sept. 20 at 3:45 p.m. at the tennis courts at the high school.

QFC SUPPORTS THE LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA SOCIETY BY Eric Miller QFC PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST
QFC’s Check Stand Charity of the Month Program raises funds for local non-profit organizations and also is designed to help educate our customers and the community about the great work that is being done right here in Western Washington. This summer, our customers have really shown their support – by raising almost $15,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs in June, over $24,000 for the USO in July and by making significant donations to Seattle Children’s Hospital in August. Beginning September 4th, QFC is partnering with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) as our Check Stand Charity of the Month. LLS is the world’s largest voluntary health agency dedicated to blood cancer. It funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services. With Light the Night Walks coming up in Anchorage, Seattle and South Sound, this is the perfect opportunity
to provide more information about the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and how you can help donate to their mission when you visit your neighborhood QFC. Blood cancers are diseases of the blood, bone marrow, and/or lymphatic systems. They include leukemia, nonHodgkin lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. Leukemia is the most common cancer among children and young adults under 20. In fact, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was founded in New York City in 1949 by Rudolph and Antoinette de Villiers after the death of their son Robert from leukemia. Today, with the help of major fundraising campaigns, including Team in Training, the world’s largest endurance sports training program, and Light the Night Walk, LLS has awarded more than $750 million in research funding since the first funding in 1954.
Effective Date: September 4, 2011 - October 1, 2011
This September, QFC will offer several ways you can help support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: t
We have $1, $5, and $10 Scan cards at each check stand. Simply hand a card to your Checker.
t
We have coin boxes at each check stand.
t
We offer a 3-cent credit to customers for every bag they bring in to reuse while shopping in our stores. Customers may choose to keep this 3 cent credit and have it applied to their bill, or they
may designate it for donation by QFC on their behalf. In 2010, we raised and donated over $45,000 through this program, 3 cents at a time! QFC is proud to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and we hope that you will join us in that support this September! Thank you! Eric Miller is the Public Affairs Specialist for QFC. He can be reached at eric.miller@qfci.com or 425-990-6182. Paid Adver tisement

FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS SINCE 1926
At Minor & James Medical, we offer fast, painless health screenings—simple tests that can often be accommodated within a single appointment—and that save lives everyday. We have the expertise and technology to provide for the early detection and treatment of many common conditions, ranging from heart disease and diabetes to many forms of cancer. For a man, a PSA test, a digital rectal exam, and ultrasound technology can help detect prostate and testicular cancers long before they become a serious threat. For women a pap smear, rectovaginal pelvic exam, and transvaginal ultrasound can detect subtle changes in the uterus, cervix and ovaries that may indicate cancer. Which is why, if you’re between the ages of 20 and 75, coming in for a health screening before you think something might be wrong is so important. Because early detection always means a greater chance for a cure. And “cure” is a word worth more than anything.
