Folks tuning in during May to “The View” television show on ABC may have glimpsed Whoopi Goldberg strolling through Central Park with a much taller person — a blue-eyed, curly haired Islander-turned-New Yorker and aspiring actor, Nathan Kaufman. 2000 MIHS graduate Nathan Kaufman can be found every Thursday in May in a five-minute segment on “The View,” where he takes Whoopi Goldberg around New York City.

unknown to most. In between acting gigs, Kaufman works as a New York City tour guide. Kaufman, 30, was voted by his Mercer Island High School class as “most likely to win an Oscar.” As a boy, Kaufman did not show much enthusiasm for sports. His mother, Molly, needing to find a way to channel his energy, suggested acting classes. She took him to theater classes at Seattle Children’s Theatre, then on to YTN, the SJCC and drama classes at the high school and beyond. He had found his niche. “It was perfect,” he said. “I could be loud and obnoxious and get a lot of attention.” But he became serious about acting. After high school, he headed east and attended a theater

program at Purchase College just outside of New York City, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts. After graduation, he headed to New York to find work as an actor and has been there ever since. There he ran into old friends, found the right job, romance and an unexpected opportunity. But in the interim, he worked at all kinds of less than perfect gigs. He was a bartender, a demonstrator — most notably for Nespresso coffee machines, but also grills and blenders, and handed out samples. It wasn’t easy, he said. None paid too well. Then the recession hit and it got harder. He had a temp job for a time at NYU — but was laid off. Things got a bit desperate. He then ran into an old friend from YTN days, Amber Cameron, a friend from Newport High School. She and her husband, Luke Miller, have a tour company in New York City.
Is it true? Is the real estate market beginning to come back? Yes, maybe, kind of — perhaps slowly and hopefully surely. A look back at the Island’s April real estate numbers shows again that fewer homes were on the market. The number of new listings added last month were nearly double that of a year ago, but the total number listed remained flat. The number of closed or final sales remained about the same as last year, but prices were up

Homes | FROM 1 sharply to just over $1 million from $859,000 a year ago. Condos for sale remain few and far between with only four active listings here last month compared to 14 a year ago. There were just eight pending sales and only four condo sales were finalized. The market is improving for sellers, but not for buyers. Desirable inventory remains low, driving up prices. Because of the limited inventory, realtors say that they are receiving multiple offers for some properties. At the annual housing issues briefing held last week in Bellevue by the Northwest Multiple Listing Service’s government affairs committee, regional economist John Mitchell noted that growth is returning. Consumer spend-
ing is up. But conversely, higher than healthy unemployment keeps interest rates low. A mixed blessing oth markers are advantageous for real estate. Mitchell said as long as the relationship between inflation and unemployment remains stable, interest rates will remain low. Historically low interest rates are helping to drive the fledging return in the housing market. “It is the federal government that is now a ‘drag’ on the economy,” he said, as it has cut programs, spending and federal workers. Offsetting those effects somewhat is a slight uptick in wages for employed workers, who despite everything, are beginning to feel better and are starting to spend. And due to population growth, more people are looking for homes.

Wild cards are global events, consumer prices (which have gyrated wildly over the past 15 months) and falling energy prices, Mitchell said. Also unknown is the effect of Obamacare and longer term impacts of the fate of the Bush tax cuts. Many people are employed now but work part time. Mitchell concludes that the economy has not improved as much as it has simply recovered. “It is now the economy we had in 2007,” he said. So despite some return to normalcy, consumers — or most importantly, homeowners — now find their wealth at the same level as it was five or six years ago. Those years of gaining wealth through homeownership have been lost, he said. On Mercer Island, as of May 9, there were 106 properties on the market;
City says fight against tolling on I-90 is yielding results By Reporter Staff
The city believes that it has made positive steps toward stopping tolling on I-90. After the City Council agreed to a comprehensive work plan earlier this year with a $150,000 budget, the city began working on
blocking the tolling proposal on several fronts. The city hired outside attorneys and lobbyists to work with government officials to insist that a hard look must be taken regarding the impacts of tolls on Islanders and to demand that other sources of rev-

Steve Litzow and supported by Rep. Judy Clibborn, which requires a full Environmental Impact Statement on the tolling proposal, passed the Legislature prior to the end of the regular session. The city has also reached out to other cities that will be affected by tolling. To that regard, the city produced a ‘Regional Tolling Study’ letter sent to Seattle, Bellevue and other communities, as well as three states and the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC), asking that tolling be studied in a systemwide manner and alternative funding options be explored. Via email, City Councilman Dan Grausz updated Islanders recently about the progress of the Island effort.

Washington lawmakers are preparing for a special session after failing to finish their work in the allotted 105 days of the regular session. Going into overtime is becoming a habit for the Legislature. Only 10 times since 1980 have lawmakers managed to get done on time. Some years, they’ve needed multiple extra periods. The Legislature meets for 105 days in odd years, when biennial budgets are written, and for 60 days in even years. State law provides for special sessions of up to 30 days to be called by the governor or by lawmakers themselves. Extra sessions aren’t cheap, costing almost $240,000 for a pair in 2010. A big part of the expense is a $90-a-day per diem each lawmaker can claim. It’s intended to defray the cost of meals and lodging.

Full EIS will likely delay toll decision
W
hether it is a balky Internet connection or the snail-like pace at which squabbling politicians reach compromise, some things never move fast enough. However, this time a slower pace may be in our favor. The city, in its effort to fend off tolling of Interstate 90, has a new ally in the effort — time. A law sponsored by state Sen. Steve Litzow and supported by state Rep. Judy Clibborn and passed by the Legislature will compel the Washington State Department of Transportation to conduct a thorough analysis of the proposal to toll Interstate 90 to pay for completing SR-520. Now, the idea of tolling drivers on I-90 will be subject to scrutiny through a full Environmental Impact Statement process rather than the more abbreviated Environmental Assessment. A full EIS will quantify and expand the analysis of the economic, social and environmental impacts that will result from tolling. The study must also include a look at possible alternatives to tolling by exploring other potential sources of funding to complete SR-520. The study will also address possible ways to mitigate the impacts of tolling, should it be approved. A full EIS will take a couple of years to complete and will significantly delay a final decision on the tolling proposal. A good thing, perhaps. In the meantime, uncertainty surrounding tolling will still have an affect on the local economy. It may suppress housing prices here and delay decisions by retailers or developers wanting to start new businesses in the Town Center. And we need to get those empty storefronts in the Town Center filled ASAP. In order to keep our town center healthy and vibrant, we need to keep as many Islanders as possible shopping and spending right here. Those dollars bring in jobs, income for local businesses and sales tax revenues. So, the sooner this process gets underway, the better. Hopefully the stars will line up the way we want them to. But there is no guarantee.
‘Uncertainty about tolling will still affect the economy here.’

“I use the Dish Hopper and its prime time anytime feature.” James Laurie John L. Scott Mercer Island
To the editor Cartoon is bizarre I find the implication to be drawn from your opinion page cartoon bizarre at best. It shows an overweight (can I make that judgment?) woman smoking a cigarette while dumping her lifesavings into a slot machine and complaining about politicians raising taxes. First, I am certain that the percentage of the population that is still paying taxes did not get to where they are by playing the slots, so I am left with the conclusion that the tax money our politicians are spending on our behalf is as if we had dumped our hard-earned dollars into a giant slot machine (bureaucracy?). Perhaps the cartoonist was referring to the future tolling of I-90 due to the mismanagement of WSDOT on the 520 project. Jean Dunbabin

May 5 Runaway: A 52-year-old
Aileen Cecilla Dubois (nee O’Daniel)
Our Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother passed peacefully, April 12, 2013, three weeks short of her 101st Birthday! What a grand and wonderful life she lived. She is survived by her three children, Rodney, (Bellevue) his spouse Carol, Susan (Denver), her spouse Jim and Timothy (Tucson), his spouse, Peggy, Aileen’s sister, Joan McRae, seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Her husband of 45 years, Charles preceded her in death. Aileen witnessed a remarkable century of change in her beloved State of Washington. She was born and raised north of Spokane in the little town of Addy, and she loved to share stories with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren about a time when the horse and buggy was the norm in travel versus the automobile. Aileen and Charles settled on Mercer Island in 1966, and Aileen resided there for more than 40 years. Memorial Service will be held at Bellevue United Methodist Church on May 19, at 3 pm. 784965
Courts hacked, data stolen includes SSN numbers
The 23-year-old driver, a Seattle resident, said his speed was 70 mph, but the passenger said 80-90 mph, according to the police report. The race participants, from the University District in Seattle, set up the race on a social media website.

The Washington state Administrative Office of the Courts has been hacked and 94 Social Security numbers have been obtained, along with one million driver’s license numbers and 160,000 additional Social Security numbers that may have been acquired. The office announced last week that the breach of data occurred in February. The compromised information belongs to individuals who had a traffic case filed or resolved in a district or municipal court in 2011 or 2012; had a superior court criminal case that was filed or resolved in 2011 or 2012; received a DUI citation in the state from 1989 through 2011; or were booked into a city or county jail in Washington state between September 2011 and December 2012. “We regret that this breach has occurred, and we have taken immediate action to enhance the security of these sites,” said Washington State Court Administrator Callie T. Dietz. The 94 individuals whose Social Security numbers were obtained will be notified via letter. The office warns that no one from the Administrative Office of the Courts, or any court in Washington state, will be asking citizens for personal information over the phone or via email regarding this incident, and individuals should take precautions to monitor their credit. For more information, go to www.courts.wa.gov/databreach or call the public hotline at 1-800-448-5584.

May 6 Car theft: A Nissan with a white canopy and #7 on its roof was stolen between 6:45 a.m. and 4:12 p.m. out of the Farmers Insurance lower parking lot in the 3000 block of 77th Avenue S.E.
May 7 Liquor violation: Someone reported a 19-year-old young man “acting belligerent” at 7:15 p.m. near the tennis courts in Homestead Park, in the 8000 block of S.E. 40th Street.

letter | FROM 5 Stanley shows that in 2014, the amount of global touchscreen users will surpass desktop users. Furthermore, typing is still a large part of using touchscreen technology and the additional features they come with enhance the learning experience. Students can express themselves on a much deeper level by combining a variety of
learning tools to draw, film, record, write and present their projects. Parents and teachers can see their schoolwork portfolio and progress. With a tablet, it’s all in one convenient location and many of the apps used have no counterpart on a computer. MIHS students are embracing a new medium that delivers new media with an expanded set of unique tools.
Greg also went on to say that the iPads were primarily purchased because of their marketability. The choice of the iPad specifically is a smart one because there are over 20,000 educational apps in the app store with 1.5 million iPads used in schools currently. Android carries around 1,000 educational apps. Apple also has contracts
with multiple publishing houses to digitize new, more comprehensive textbooks that MIHS should adopt in the near future. The Mercer Island School District has some of the best teachers in the country, and I am positive that the school will continue to uphold that image indefinitely. Educational technology still does not have the power to outweigh human intellect, and most young parents will still largely consider teacher
Wednesday, May 15, 2013 | Page 7 quality over technology when choosing a school. I agree with Greg that our educated students should be the marker for a good education system. However, part of being a well-educated student these days is to have an understanding of technology, so the incorporation of iPads will help MIHS students stay ahead of the game with the latest technology.

School news Island schools awarded ‘Overall Excellence’ awards The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction and the State Board of Education recently announced that Lakeridge Elementary and Island Park Elementary have been awarded the Washington Overall Achievement Award given to the top five percent of schools in the elementary, middle and high school categories. This highly selective award is based on the school’s performance according to the Washington Achievement Index, a comprehensive measurement of how schools in Washington are performing over time. An award ceremony was held on May 2 and was attended by the state superintendent of schools, Randy Dorn. West Mercer Elementary, Islander Middle and Mercer Island High School’s Highly Capable populations (greater than 10 percent) set the index bar exceedingly high for these schools to receive recognition from the state’s program. This is the fourth time that
Lakeridge and Island Park have received the Washington Overall Achievement Award. Mercer Island High School received the award in 2009 and 2010, and Island Park received a special math achievement and language arts achievement award in 2009, in addition to their 2009 overall award. This year, both Lakeridge Elementary and Island Park are being recognized for overall excellence and for achievement in science. Island Park has also earned honors for achievement in math.

New law requires CPR to be taught at schools Last week, Washington state Governor Jay Inslee signed SHB 1556 into law, ensuring that all high school students receive CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training before they graduate. SHB 1556 will make CPR education part of health class and will create a new generation of lifesavers, according to the many groups supporting the bill. According to the American Heart Association, nearly 360,000 people in the United States suffer sudden cardiac arrest outside of the hospital, and only 9.5 percent survive, often because they don’t receive timely CPR. Bystander CPR, when given right away, can double or even triple a victim’s chances
of survival. In King County, the sudden cardiac arrest survival rates are among the best in the world, due in large part to the rigorous paramedic training, research and quality improvement programs funded by the Medic One Foundation. A CPR-trained student could help save the life of a child, their parent, grandparent or teacher. With the passage of SHB 1556, survival rates are only likely to increase.

Children in need Over 10,000 children under age 3 are living in poverty in King County. Many families must choose between buying diapers and paying bills, as diapers are not covered by any government aid program, including food stamps and Women, Infant and Children (WIC) programs. Diapers average approximately $100 per month per diapered child and a daily supply of diapers is often required to take children to day care. Some families must choose between buying diapers or food. WestSide Baby and Eastside Baby Corner have teamed up to address the need by providing 2 million diapers to children in King County. WestSide Baby and Eastside Baby Corner also aim to meet other needs by collecting and distributing essential items to children, free of charge, through approved social service providers throughout King County.

MISD to rebuild press box, concessions stand at stadium
Mt. Rainier to feel effects of sequestration this summer By Reporter Staff

Megan Managan/Staff Photo
The current press box at MIHS is a safety concern for the district. The new press box and concessions stand would be built in time for the next football season. fence back five feet, adding pavement that would create a place for concessions customers to line up, out of the way of the rest of the pathway. The concessions stand would have four windows, each serving two people at a time. “It will be fast and efficient,” he said. “We’ve talked to the coaches and boosters, who are very excited. They think they can quadruple sales.” The upstairs portion of the building will be accessed by stairs from the backside. It will include rooms on each end for the team coaches, and the center portion of
the room will include two levels, allowing two rows of people to sit. “They are excited that it will be on the 50-yard line,” said Tony Kuhn, the director of maintenance and operations for the district. The current press box is off-set around the 40-yard line, which makes filming games difficult. The building will also include windows on the JV field side, which will allow it to be used for games on both sides. “This would take us out of a safety issue,” said Plano of the project. “It seems like an extremely well thought out and
extremely cost-efficient plan,” said board member Dave Myerson. Board member Brian Emanuels expressed some concerns about whether the project could truly be done before the beginning of the next football season, given that it was already May. “We’re very confident we can,” said Mack. He added they are already in the process of working with the city on permits, and that either way they would not demolish the current press box until everything has been approved. The board voted 5-0 in favor of the project.

A small piece of the Mercer Island School District bond, which failed in 2012, included rebuilding the Mercer Island High School press box and concessions stand. Despite the bond’s failure, MISD has been looking for a way to rebuild it anyway, due to structural and safety issues. During the Mercer Island School Board meeting on Thursday, May 2, the board discussed and saw plans for the new portion of the stadium. The district has found money in the 2008 Capital Projects levy funds to pay for the project. “The current press box is structurally compromised and the concession stand is located in an area that does not facilitate the sale of products or the movement of fans within the stadium,” said information provided by the district at the board meeting. The original plans to redo the small building located at the top of the field were listed as more than $300,000, which would have been built from two modular buildings. The new project guidelines, which call for the building to be built as new construction, list the budget for the project as $111,250. Once finished the stadium would include a new, larger concession stand along the 50-yard line of the football field, along with a press box upstairs. The bathrooms would remain on the northern end of the field, but expanded into what is now the concessions area. While the current press box is at the top of the stands, which creates a bottleneck for fans, the new building would be set on the far side of the pavement, into the JV field. Though the building, which would be about a 20-by-40-foot building, would jut into what is currently grass on the JV field, that field would not lose any playing space because of a 50-foot buffer. Dean Mack, the executive director of business services and human resources, said the project would involve pushing the current JV field
The p opu l ar Ohanapecosh Visitor Center at Mt. Rainier National Park will be closed to the public this summer because of sequestration. Closure of the Ohanapecosh Visitor Center will affect approximately 60,000 to 85,000 visitors during the 130 days that the center would normally open this summer. In addition, the Ohanapecosh campground season will close early this year
and the Cougar Rock Campground season will be shortened by six weeks. The park was required to reduce its annual operating budget for 2013 by five percent because of sequestration, the series of federal automatic, acrossthe-board, permanent spending cuts implemented in January. The park must absorb this funding cut between now and September 30, the end of the federal budget cycle, during the period when most visitors come to the park. Absent additional funding next fiscal year, the $603,000 reduction is a permanent adjustment to Mount Rainier’s operating budget. For more information, go to www.nps.org.

Whoopi | FROM 1 “They took me in,” he said. “They saved me.” Their company is called Real New York Tours. “The company wants its clients to feel like they have a real New Yorker taking them around,” he explained. “You are on foot or take cabs, like a real New Yorker. You see the spots known only to New Yorkers.” Going on a tour in New York is not like riding the Duck in Seattle, he said. It is a serious business. “In New York City, you have to train and be certified to be a tour guide,” he explained. “No kidding. You have to take a 150-question test and pass.” “It was me,” he said of the job. “I love telling stories and being the center of attention. I get to meet new people and be outdoors — and no desk.” Remarkably, one of his first group tours included his former high school drama teacher Cathleen (Ceecee) Monahan and her husband with a group of students from Shoreline. It was the same sort of trip that Kaufman had taken himself as a student with her. “She told me to pursue my dreams,” Kaufman said. In 2009, at 66th and Broadway, he ran into an acquaintance, Ashley Alderfer, from college. She worked at “The View,” the CBS television talk show. That meeting led to their wedding last fall. Through his wife, the wardrobe supervisor for the show, he met the cast. “I got to hang out backstage occasionally and tag along for social events,” he said. “Over the last couple of years, I got to know Whoopi. She is the kindest, smartest,

One day, a discussion about a new segment centered on showing hidden spots in New York. “At this point, Ashley, my wife, becomes my agent,” he laughs. “She immediately said, ‘What about Nathan? He is a tour guide.’ Whoopi says yes, well, of course. “So she texts me and says, ‘Would you like to take Whoopi around the city for the show?’ I can hardly believe it.” Kaufman met later with Whoopi in her dressing room. They talked over fried chicken. “I asked her what she wanted to do or where to go — after all, she is the native New Yorker, not me. She just said, ‘I trust you.’ All I could think is, I love you, too,” he said. There is no script for the segment. After picking out a

place, the two play it by ear. They usually stop in someplace for a bite to eat. At least one spot he took her, close to where he now lives, is a pond in Central Park. It is quiet and full of ducks and wildlife. Whoopi had never been there before. It was the place that Nathan had proposed to his wife. Surprisingly, another segment was set near Wall Street. They have visited Chelsea Market and Harlem. “It is a bit surreal,” he said. “I just keep think thinking how cool this is. Totally crazy. What an opportunity. And how much I owe to my friends for hiring me. I owe them so much.” For more information on touring New York, go to realnewyorktours.com.

Intrepid traveler, Bob Lewis tours North Korea By Rebecca Mar
rmar@mi-reporter.com
One month after North Korea’s third nuclear test, Bob Lewis boarded a plane to Pyongyang. Lewis, 81, a retired dentist, has visited many places — Vietnam, Mexico, the Canary Islands, the Mediterranean, and even Iran and Cuba. He has traveled extensively in Central and South America. When he found out that a small number of American tourists are allowed into North Korea every year, he decided that it would be an interesting place to visit at the end of March. His wife, Anne, did not concur. She went to New Orleans instead. In Beijing, Lewis joined Koryo Tours. Forty-five people were divided into three tour groups. Lewis was the eldest in his group of 15 tourists who
came from the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Italy and Russia. They were people who “seemed more adventuresome,” Lewis said. Most were men, and the average age was 40. Other Americans hailed from Chicago and New Jersey. North Korean propaganda began on the 90-minute flight from Beijing into Pyongyang, when pictures were shown of the Korean War — from North Korea’s perspective. The group’s seven-day itinerary included the Pyongyang Metro, 300 feet underground; a mountain resort, Mt. Myohyang; Kaesong and the demilitarized zone, or “DMZ.” At the border, Lewis observed that everyone was always facing north, including the South Koreans, who

were stationed 100 feet away from North Korean soldiers. He saw no barbed wire, but his group was warned about where they could not cross or go. Anyone who went down into a certain section could be shot. “What we saw wasn’t the real North Korea. We saw parts of it,” Lewis said. “We saw very little of the poverty, the problems they have, how screwed up that government is, how poorly that country is run.” They did see workers in fields, planting crops and using oxen to pull old-fashioned, single-bladed plows. “They seemed to be extremely short of mechanized machines,” Lewis said. Four or five workers overseen by a person in uniform would shovel dirt onto a pallet, pick up the pallet, and walk it over to be dumped, then repeat the process. “North Korea is totalitarian with an elaborate cult of personality around the Kim family and one of the lowest ranking human rights records of any country. In 2011, North Korea had the lowest Democracy Index of any nation on earth. It reminded me of George Orwell’s book, ‘1984,’” Lewis stated in a presentation at Aljoya. North Korea imprisons an estimated 200,000 people in political prison camps. Crime is not prevalent, as

North Korea has the most cases of tuberculosis in the world, he said, due to hunger and starvation. Wh i l e comfortable accommodations were lacking, Lewis found the food to be good. Hot water was a rarity, and occasional power outages occurred. Lewis slept on a mat on the floor — the way the North Koreans live. Pyongyang boasts the tallest hotel in the world, with 110 floors; but it is not open. Built in 1988, the hotel was never finished. It is merely for show. Roads — mostly large boulevards — have traf-
fic directors, but no traffic except some bicycles and military vehicles. People walk or travel by bus. Photos of the three leaders of the Kim regime are not allowed to be discarded — not even newspapers with their pictures can be thrown away. Pictures taken of their statues must show the whole Bob Lewis statue and not cut off their feet or hands. TV, radio and Internet are all internal with no access to the outside world. Nothing is for sale except in tourist shops, which offer books about communism and the Kim family, or dolls. Lewis saw no unique crafts and did not know where people get their food. Foreigners can only use euros, dollars

or yen, and must always be with a guide. Guides who “lose” tourists can be fired, Lewis said. Lewis attended a soccer game on a Wednesday morning in a stadium with the capacity for more than 50,000 people. Less than 100 people attended the game, which was some sort of playoff game between an army team and a light industry team. The army lost. Lewis’ guide asked him, “Are the young people in the U.S. still rioting or causing demonstrations about our situation here?” Lewis told him, no. “I had the feeling he didn’t believe me,” he said. While Lewis did not feel any danger there, he would not go again, he said. “It is a very novel place to be,” he said. “You sit around thinking, is this really happening?”

Has the era of the Short Sale come and gone? Despite the recent news that Seattle area property values are on the rise, the reality is that they are still 26.7% below their peak in 2007. That means that there are still many homeowners who are underwater with no hopes of getting to a point of positive equity any time soon. Some are even facing tough decisions, knowing that their adjustable rate mortgage is going to convert any day and in some cases DOUBLE their monthly payment. There are 10 million homeowners who are falling further behind every month because of an unmanageable mortgage payment. Many of them feel like they are alone, with NO options. The truth is, most are not aware of the multitude of options that are available to them. Several lenders are offering cooperative programs including loan mods, refis and short sales - some are even PAYING INCENTIVES of up to $30,000 to delinquent homeowners! Specializing in working with short sales and distressed properties, I can tell you that we are in a much more ‘short sale friendly’ world compared to just a few years ago. The point is, there are options for those who are just afraid to reach out. You don’t know how many times I have heard the story - the homeowner never asked for help and ended up losing their home, severely damaging their credit. Months later, they run into a friend and tell them what happened, only to find out that the friend knew someone that could have helped them - a short sale expert who could navigate them through the process to a successful short sale, controlling the process and taking a minimal hit to their credit. Don’t let this happen to you or someone you know. Reach out to your local short sale expert today. It could be a significantly life changing decision. Time is of the essence! - James R.
