Pomp, circumstance and joy
By Joseph Livarchikjlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
There was plenty of cheer to go around as Mercer Island High School celebrated its 58th Commencement Exercises Thursday, June 11 at Key Arena in Seattle. The senior class of 320 students smiled for dozens of self-ies with friends and family before strolling down the aisle to accept their high school diplomas.
After a performance of the National Anthem by Shea Kelsay on trumpet, principal Vicki Puckett said she would remember the class of 2015 as a dedicat-
ed, intelligent and spirited group that set the model for the school’s theme of i n t e g r i t y , i n n o v a t i o n and inspira-tion.
“Your edu-cation is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours to lead,” Puckett said, quot-ing the late journalist and screenwriter Nora Ephron.“Enjoy every moment, because the moments go really, really fast.”
Mercer Island’s five valedicto-rians took turns addressing their graduating class. David Emanuels
thanked all the people who helped him get to the podium, spotlighting the late West Mercer first grade math teacher Nancy Burrill, elementary teacher Mark Headlee, middle school science teacher Tonya VanOrden and high school teacher Jan Sayers. Emily Menz spoke of her desire to take on new activities throughout
her high school career because “we only have high school once.”
David Hendricks noted choosing the road less traveled can be greatly rewarding. Lauren Hsue admitted that as a strict goal-ori-ented person, she may have missed opportu-nities to appreciate her high school experience
to the fullest. She said while no one can change the past, they can make choices for today. And Carlin Chuck urged his classmates to accept the mysteries of life. He

Soon, 90 more units may be available to rent at the Shorewood Heights Apartment complex.
Shorewood submitted an application on Feb. 17, request-ing design review for multi-family development. According to the application, Shorewood is planning to build two three-story apartment buildings with parking garages, surface park-ing and related access road and Fire Department access road improvements.
The first new building will have 21 two-bedroom units, 30 one-bedroom units, six studios
High school late start update
The Late Start Commit-tee has given the Mercer Island School Board its recommendation regard-ing later start times for students. See Page 6.
Diplomas, accolades for 320 graduating students
and 108 parking stalls. The second building will have 15 two-bedroom apart-ments and 18 studios, according to the application packet, with 57 parking stalls.
These plans have been in the works for a while. Development Services Group (DSG) Director Scott Greenberg said that Shorewood had submitted an application for about 100 units right before the reces-sion hit. The permit expired before the units could be built.
Shorewood has changed ownership and manage-ment in the interim, and this scope of work is a little different from the previous proposal, senior planner Travis Saunders. The current ownership group, Oly Ida Shorewood Heights, LLC, took over in September 2010.
Shorewood is also apply-ing for a parking variance. The multi-family code requires two parking spots per unit, Saunders said.
Shorewood's proposed ratio is 1.47 stalls per unit, a number on which they based a traffic impact anal-ysis included with the appli-cation. They also submitted a State Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) checklist, geotechnical engi-neering report and arborist report.
Many Islanders have expressed concerns lately about the impact of new apartment buildings on the Mercer Island school system. Shorewood's new developments are subject to a school district mitigation fee under SEPA, which was updated in March.
But mitigation fees only apply to units with two or more bedrooms, so the School Board decided to collect Growth Management Act (GMA) impact fees instead. Impact fees apply to all units and to some single-family resi-dence development, bring-ing in more revenue for schools.
If the City Council adopts school impact fees prior to issuance of a build-ing permit, Shorewood
would be subject to the higher fee, Greenberg said.
Written comments on the proposal must be submitted on or before Monday, June 22, 2015 at 5 p.m., either in person or mailed to the City of Mercer Island at 9611 S.E. 36th St. After the comment period and envi-ronmental review, a Design Commission review will be scheduled.

Theater hopes to introduce plans to wider audience
Reporter sta� The Mercer Island Center
for the Arts (MICA) will be holding its first widely-advertised public meeting about the project between 7 and 9 p.m. Tuesday, June 23 at the Mercer Island Community and Events Center. The presentation will focus on the need for MICA, “as a focal point for arts and education on Mercer Island.” The meet-ing will be led by MICA Board President John Gordon Hill and feature all the members of the interna-tionally-recognized design team led by architect and Islander, Lesley Bain. The discussion will also feature a presentation and update on the design elements and timeline.
In addition, MICA’s resi-dent partners will be in attendance to talk with the community and share their enthusiasm for the project.

Council set to extend develop-ment moratorium
At its meeting on Monday, after the Reporter deadline, the City Council decided whether or not to extend its moratorium on Town Center development. The initial moratorium exempt-ed buildings under two sto-ries and the proposed Hines project, though the Council decided on June 1 to include Hines.
The initial term of the moratorium, adopted by the City Council in February, was four months, and set to expire on June 16. The city's work on its Town Center code revision and Comprehensive Plan update is continuing. In fact, both processes have been extend-ed past their planned dura-tion.
Adoption of the proposed ordinance on an emergency basis, which requires an affirmative vote of a major-ity plus one of the whole membership of the Council (five “yes” votes), is recom-mended to avoid expiration of the current moratorium and the opportunity for one or more applicants to vest under the existing Town Center development regu-lations, according to the agenda bill.
Town Center work is over budget
At its June 15 meeting, the City Council was set to appropriate almost $100,000 to extend the Town Center
visioning process. The work has consisted
of two phases so far. Phase 1 involved hiring the consul-tant team of Seth Harry and Associates, and 3 Square Blocks and concluded with presentation of a final report at the Jan. 23, 2015 Planning Session. The cost was $24,800, funded from the 2013-2014 budget.
Phase 2 of the code revi-sion project was sched-uled for February through June 2015, and involved more public engagement. It included 20 formal meet-ings (Town Center Liaison Group, Stakeholder Group, a two-day workshop and public input meetings) and cost $126,610, funded with the 2015 Beautification Fund budget and 2014 General Fund surplus.
On June 1, 2015, the Council approved an extended commu-nity engagement sched-ule and delayed adoption of the State-mandated Comprehensive Plan update past the June 30, 2015 dead-line. This will require addi-tional consultant resources for potential revisions to already completed work based on additional com-munity input, additional meeting facilitation and organization costs, assis-tance with Town Center-related Comprehensive Plan policies and vision and preparation of an executive summary of the project to date.
The new phase of work will also include additional graphics to communicate the Town Center Vision and provide a possible look at the Town Center under the
updated Vision and Design Guidelines.
Seth Harry and Associates proposed budget is $50,000 and 3 Square Blocks pro-posed budget is $44,915, for a total of $94,915. Therefore, a budget appropriation of $94,915 is needed. The rec-ommended funding source is the $96,684 the Council directed staff to set aside for miscellaneous professional services on June 1, 2015 as part of the disposition of the 2014 General Fund surplus.
The downside of appro-priating almost all of the $96,684 for this purpose is that this funding had been planned to support phase 2 of the impact fee analysis, assuming the Council wants to move forward with insti-tuting impact fees, accord-ing to the agenda bill.
The meeting occurred after the Reporter deadline.
City awards bid for street overlay project
The city received the lowest bid for its 2015 Residential Street Overlays from Lakeside Industries, in the amount of $543,628.00. Lakeside Industries has completed numerous pav-ing projects for Mercer Island in the past, name-ly the 2012 Island Crest Way Resurfacing Phase 1 and the 2013 Arterial and Residential Overlay proj-ects.
Construction activities on the contract are ten-tatively scheduled to begin in late August and be done in mid-October. Lakeside Industries has also been awarded the construction
contract for the City’s 2015 S.E. 40th Street Overlay project, and they plan to focus their effort on com-pleting that project first, prior to the start of school, and then move to the 2015 Residential Street Overlay project.
The adopted 2015-2016 Capital Budget allocated $738,000 for residential street overlay work in 2015. This project will resurface 1.5 miles of the city’s 58.3 miles of publicly main-tained residential streets.
The streets are:• 66th, 70th, and 71st
Avenues, lying north of S.E. 24th Street on the north end of the First Hill neighbor-hood. These roadway pave-ments are relatively thin and were last resurfaced with a chip seal in 1986. Their 2013 pavement condition index (PCI) ratings range from “fair” to “poor."
• 70th Avenue from S.E. 24th to S.E. 29th Streets, also in the First Hill neigh-borhood. This street has not received any significant work since a chip seal in 1986 and its current PCI rating is “fair."
• Merhaven neighbor-hood, lying west of Island
Crest Way in the 4800 block. This area consists of portions of S.E. 48th Street, 86th and 88th Avenues, 88th Place, and S.E. 50th Street. Most of these road-ways were built in the early 1960s, and the area received a chip seal in 1983. PCI ratings vary from “satisfac-tory” to “fair” to “poor” to “very poor.” SE 48th Street and 86th Avenue (which were rated as “satisfactory” in 2013) were significantly impacted by new watermain installation in 2014.
• S.E. 53rd Street and 90th Avenue, lying east of Island Crest Way. This plat of homes was devel-oped in the mid-1960s and received a chip seal in 1985. The existing pavement has extensive alligator cracking and significant root dam-age from nearby pine trees, leading to PCI ratings of “very poor” and “failed.”
City's support of children’s play earns recognition
Hundreds of cities and towns, including Mercer Island, earned recogni-tion today once gain from national nonprofit
KaBOOM! as 2015 Playful City USA communities for their efforts to increase play opportunities for children.
This is the eighth year the City's Parks and Recreation Department has received this award, which recog-nizes ongoing dedication to play and healthy living opportunities.
Mercer Island offers diverse options such as: the award-winning Adventure Playground giving children the opportunity to experi-ment with construction and tools; or Deane's Children's Park encouraging imagina-tion; and the FunMobile drop-in program.

All Mercer Island public schools are ‘Green’
Mercer Island High School, Islander Middle School, and West Mercer Elementary have earned King County Green Schools Level Three rec-ognition. Now all Mercer Island public schools have achieved this recognition as Lakeridge Elementary and Island Park Elementary earned the status in 2013.
“An important part of the 2020 Vision of our schools is to cultivate global aware-ness, with an understand-ing of real-world problems, such as being good stew-ards of the environment,” said Mercer Island School District Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano
“These schools have initiated or improved sus-tainable practices and are teaching their students and employees about conser-vation,” said Dale Alekel, Green Schools Program manager.
In the King County Green Schools program there are four levels of focus: 1) waste reduction
and recycling; 2) energy conservation: 3) water conservation and pollu-tion prevention; and 4) sustaining green school activities. To qualify for the next level of recognition as a Level Four Sustaining Green School, a school must select and complete an additional conservation practice or educational strategy from the King County Green Schools program’s Best Practices Guides, while sustaining the conservation strategies the school achieved during the first three levels of the program.
To learn more, visit www.MercerIslandSchools.org/MISDGreenSchools.
Teachers named for new elemen-tary school
The Mercer Island School District (MISD) announced the teachers who will make up the Core Team at Elementary No. 4.
“As we continue our transition from three to four elementary schools, our next big step is the hiring of the Elementary
No. 4 Core Team,” said the school’s Planning Principal, Aimee Batliner-Gillette. “The interview team enjoyed meeting
with each of these thought-ful, creative, and energetic teacher-leaders. Their skills and strengths, along with their experience in Mercer Island public schools, will be tremendously beneficial to the process of building our new elementary com-munity.”
Elementary No. 4’’s first lead teachers for each grade will be:
• Heidi Clark – Kindergarten, from Lakeridge
• Mary Jane Dunning - First Grade, from West Mercer
• Trina Sherman - Second Grade, from West Mercer
• Danielle Melin - Third Grade, from Lakeridge
• Lindsay Oliveira - Fourth Grade, from Island Park
• Julie Langley - Fifth Grade, from West Mercer
“These talented teach-ers, along with Aimee, will serve as the foundation for the new school community that we are building with students and families,” said MISD Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano. “While con-
struction on Elementary No. 4 continues, these teachers will begin build-ing the educational team and doing the academic groundwork required to open a new school. They will work directly with Aimee and Fred Rundle, the district’s Assistant Superintendent
of Learning Services, both of whom have experience opening new elementary schools.”
The teachers will contin-ue in their current duties during the 2015-16 school year, but will assume additional responsibilities starting July 1, 2015. Like Batliner-Gillette’s salary, the teachers will receive stipends paid for by the sale of the bonds approved by Mercer Island voters in Feb. 2014, not from the Schools Foundation or the general fund.
MI Schools Foundation seeks board members
The Mercer Island Schools Foundation is seeking board members for the 2015-16 school year.
“Ideally, our Board rep-resentation includes indi-viduals from all neighbor-hoods on the Island with or without children in Mercer Island Public Schools,” MISF stated in a release. “Additionally, all Mercer Island Public Schools are represented by Board membership.”
The nonprofit orga-nization is dedicated to enhancing and improving the quality of education for all students of the Mercer Island School District by obtaining contributions.
Yantis said the monthly commitment for board members is roughly 2-4 hours.

The League of American Bicyclists recently named Washington the nation’s top ranked “Bicycle Friendly State” for the eighth-straight year.
“Bicycling plays an important role in Washington’s quality of life; it gives Washingtonians a viable transporta-tion option, encourages a healthy lifestyle and lowers our individual carbon footprint while supporting our local economies through bicycle tourism,” said Gov. Jay Inslee, who o� cially proclaimed last month as Bike Month in Washington. “Being again named the most bike-friendly state inspires us to continue building on the progress we’ve made,” he said. While that press-release statement is all well and good, we can’t emphasize this enough: bicyclists and cars need
to work together, pay at-tention to each other and share the road. It sounds like it would be easy to accomplish with the multitude of bike lanes and “sharrows” out there, as well as people with smart
heads on their shoulders, but accidents happen. People aren’t always watching out for each other because they’re in a hurry, or talking on the phone while driving, or bicyclists are taking chances while cycling alongside cars, assuming that everyone can see each other. There are more bicyclists out there on the road these days and bad things can happen in an instant. Between 2008 and 2012, an average of three bicyclists died in King County each year and 45 were severely injured in colli-sions with motor vehicles. The Seattle Bike Blog reports that six cyclists have died in the last 12 months in Western Washington. They include a pastor in Puyallup and a teen in Kirkland. When cyclists get hit, drivers often say, “I just did not see him,” or, “they came out of nowhere.” Cyclists as well as drivers have to stay vigilant. Cyclists should never, ever assume that drivers are watching out for them.
Watch out cyclists
‘Bicycle friendly’ is no guarantee for cyclist safety
To the editorParking at Shorewood will only get worse
My wife and I have lived at the Shorewood Heights apartment com-plex for several years. She used to teach at Country Village Day School and I work in our public schools, so our commutes (often walking) have been a dream.
On June 11, residents and neigh-bors of Shorewood received a letter from the City of Mercer Island regard-ing Shorewood’s desire to build two new buildings with 90 units, which would also eliminate some of the cur-rent parking spaces. Additionally, they are requesting a parking variance that would reduce the required parking throughout the complex from two parking spaces per unit to 1.47 per unit. Public comment ends on Monday, June 22.
Shorewood already has terrible parking issues that complex management is unwilling to acknowledge and resolve. Parked cars spill into residential neighborhoods on 88th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 36th Street every evening. Due to the lack of avail-able parking, cars are regularly parked illegally in lanes that are needed by emergency vehicles. Moreover, those well-marked areas need to remain clear so drivers are able to see pedestri-ans, particularly young students walk-ing to their bus stops in the morning.

the impact that has on residents and the sur-rounding community. Shorewood should be forced to deal with the problem they have created before they are allowed to make it worse

MICA says thank you to Legacy Partners
On behalf of the Board and Guild of Mercer Island Center for the Arts, we
want to thank Kerry Nicholson, Senior Managing Director of Legacy Partners, who has generously donated beautiful in-kind office and conference room space in the Island Corporate Center to MICA’s capital campaign efforts. Without Nicholson and Legacy Partners, the project would not be in the excellent position of the fund rais-ing effort attaining excellent momen-tum and the project design (by archi-tects Lesley Bain and Owen Richards) evolving at a fast pace as well.
Nicholson has been incredibly sup-portive of MICA’s efforts to be a trans-formative cultural and economic focal point on the Island. As a developer of major mixed use projects both on the Island and off, Nicholson noted, I am very supportive of MICA, as I firmly believe that art defines and binds us together as a community and a civili-

More than half of MIHS students surveyed opposed later school start
By Joseph Livarchikjlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
Wrapping up six months of research and commu-nity outreach regarding the possibility of moving back high school start times, the High School Start-Time Committee recommended to the Mercer Island School Board on Thursday that no changes be made to current high school bell times.
Although the commit-tee determined more sleep would be beneficial for high school students, it stated in a report presented to the board that the "benefits are
outweighed by undesirable consequences that would impact the large majority of our high school students."
Committee member Frances Osman said discus-sions with faculty members brought concerns that a later start could mean stu-dents leaving school early for after-school activities would stretch further back into the school day, as well as school commute times moving into rush hour.
“They certainly under-stand and realize the ben-efit of having a later start time and in an ideal world, would love to have kids start later so they could sleep later in the morning,” Osman said. “However, there were substantial con-cerns amongst the admin-istrators and I would say all of them feel it would be difficult thing to do at this
time.”Committee member
Gavin Cree said there was significant concern from Mercer Island music instructors about the continuity of the band and orchestra programs. Performance times already run on a tight schedule, and teachers have to accom-modate band students who participate in multiple extracurricular activities. Paige Behrbaum said the general consensus among discussions with students was the current system works, so why change it.
“Common themes in their feedback were that 15 minutes later didn't seem like very much and 30 was too much and too disruptive to all the things they were trying to do after school, and they didn't want to make activity
choices,” she said.In a survey of over 1200
respondents taken by the committee, gathering input from high school students, staff members and parents, more than half of those surveyed were opposed to moving back start times to 8:30 a.m. for the 2016-17 school year. A total of 44 percent of respondents answered they were strongly opposed, while 8 percent said they were somewhat opposed.
High school students were the most likely to oppose the change, with nearly 54 percent respond-ing strongly against later start times. The majority of parents of high school students also opposed the change, with 48 percent saying they were strongly against it. Parents of young-er students (elementary and middle school) were the most likely to support it, with 61 percent saying they were strongly in favor.
But members of the School Board weren't quick to dismiss later start times. Responding to a remark that the structure of the band program would be in jeopardy with later start times, board director Dave
Myerson weighed the return of such a change.
“[Later start times] will appar-ently alter the struc-ture as we know it, every-
body has testified to that,” Myerson said. “But the actual value of starting late is still clear, so the conclu-sion that I draw is that we should alter the structure as we know it, and yes, it’s going to take time and effort.”
Board member Adair Dingle noted many of the concerns made for push-ing back start times were the same issues that arose when the district moved from 7:20 a.m. to 8 a.m.
high school start times over a decade ago. She added what is different now is the amount of evidence recom-mending an 8:30 a.m. start time, citing the recommen-dation from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which was released in a 2014 policy statement.
“It’s fairly common now to read how 8:30 a.m. is the push the high schools are going toward across the country because that is the earliest recommended start time for high schools,” Dingle said. “I agree with the concept there has to be a little more education made so that the value, which is much more indis-putable than it was 12-13 years ago, takes precedence over adherence to a current schedule.”
Superintendent Dr. Gary Plano called the problem a “technical problem in a political sphere,” and asked the board to think about what additional informa-tion they would want mov-ing forward. He said the board could potentially dis-cuss the topic at its board retreat June 16.
Late Start Committee recommends no changes to MIHS schedule
“15 minutes later didn’t seem like very much and 30 was too much.”

zation. The arts give our cities a soul and help to make them more livable.
Thanks to Legacy Partners’ support, MICA has been able to move the project along smoothly. MICA will give Youth Theatre Northwest a beautiful new permanent home and keep the facility filled with life and activ-ity throughout the year. The facility will provide space for numerous other arts and cultural groups to conduct classes, per-formances, and other events. Those and more will keep MICA brim-ming with activity every day throughout the year. The facility will pro-vide a venue for major Seattle institutions such as ACT, Seattle Shakespeare
Company, and Book-it Repertory Theatre, Teatro ZinZanni, Pacific Music Works and others who have committed to bring their productions to Mercer Island, thus reach-ing audience members they might not be able to reach through their “home” seasons. MICA will also provide sup-port for Farmers Market, Summer Celebration and Music In the Park.
Again, thanks to Kerry Nicholson for giving MICA “Shelter from the Storm.” We raise our glasses and thank Legacy Partners for their hospi-tality and support. We couldn’t do it without them.

MICA
Present designs show
MICA as a 38,000 square foot, three-theater complex for the presentation of plays, musicals, dance, concerts, recitals, lectures, films, and visual art. This new facil-ity will include a 300-seat Main Stage, 100-seat recital studio, 100-seat ‘theater lab,’ classrooms, studios, meet-ing rooms, office space and community gathering space. The building will also fea-ture a beautiful expansive, glass-fronted lobby and art gallery that can host galas and receptions, as well as a café and bar.
The building would be situated on the Bicentennial park space and the old recy-cling center at the corner of 76th Avenue S.E. and S.E. 32nd Street.
MICA plans include providing Youth Theatre Northwest with a perma-nent home for all its pro-ductions, classes, camps and workshops. The facility will additionally provide space for numerous other arts and cultural groups to conduct classes, performances, and other events.

Islanders say they want a PCC
By Katie Metzgerkmetzger@mi-reporter.com
After a notice that Albertsons will close in July, a "Bring PCC to Mercer Island" Facebook group grew from 60 to 600 mem-bers in two days.
The group is dedicated to fans of the unique blend of local produce, organic prod-ucts, wholesome food and community values personi-fied by Puget Consumers Coop (PCC).
"The Albertsons loca-tion is ideal if it hasn’t sold to a developer who would turn it into something else," said Jeff Sanderson. "Many on MI, if you follow the nextdoor.com traffic, would love something like PCC, so we’ll be ringing that bell."
Sanderson, who is run-ning for City Council in September, is promoting the group with Craig and Jane Reynolds, Lara Sanderson, Yaffa Penski and Lisa Porad.
Craig Reynolds originally created the Facebook page in 2010, as an experiment. The group is aims to "cre-ate a groundswell" with a "grassroots effort," he said.
"We believe the Island was already ripe for such a store," he said. "But with the impending closure of Albertsons, the time is even more right."
Reynolds said he has written to PCC CEO Cate Hardy before.
"We do want to be in every Puget Sound neigh-borhood that would like us and can support one of our stores. New store locations have to make solid econom-ic sense, and one of the key factors is having sufficient
members and shoppers in the area who know us and want us. For what it’s worth, you are not alone - we have heard from many people who would like to see a PCC on Mercer Island," Hardy wrote back.
The group also set up a survey "to do some basic market research on poten-tial for a PCC or other new grocer on the Island."
The Facebook page can be found at www.faceb o ok .com/g roups/PccMercerIsland and the survey at www.sur-v e y m o n k e y . c o m / s /MIgrocerysurvey.
An agenda item was added to the June 15 City
Council agenda, to discuss "an update on the Albertsons
grocery site and poten-tial grocer." The meeting
occurred after the Reporter deadline.
What will replace Albertsons?
By Katie Metzgerkmetzger@mi-reporter.com
The charitable efforts of Dana Berejka, a 15-year-old Islander, started small.
Three years ago, she came home from Youth Group inspired and "went online looking for ways a 12-year-old could change the world." She started writing to a young girl named Diane in Rwanda, and sending her $15 a month through World Vision.
"[It] seemed like a lot to me then," Berejka said. "I wrote and received letters forming a friendship that I hoped would last forever. A year later, World Vision called my parents and they had to deliver the news to me."
Diane, just before her sixth birthday, died after contracting malaria. So Berejka started The Diane Foundation to raise money to buy nets and medicine to prevent malaria, and make donations to Diane’s school.
Her story helped her become a grand prize win-ner of Microsoft's 2015 YouthSpark Challenge for Change, a contest that asked young people from around the world to submit an idea to address a social issue through technology in their communities.
She said that she will use the prize, a $2,500 cash
grant, Microsoft technol-ogy bundle and leader-ship development trip to Nicaragua, to start a web-site for her organization and learn how to become a better philanthropist. If technology advances, she hopes to develop a device that people could wear that would repel mosquitos.
"Netting is great, but people have to go outside," she said. "If we could find
a way for people to be safe all day, that would be world-changing."
Right now, The Diane Foundation con-sists of Berejka and her parents. But she said that the Mercer Island community has been supportive,
especially the high school, helping her by voting for her entry and spreading the word.
"As soon as my family and I told people about my standing as a finalist, it felt like the whole Island was cheering me on," she said. "Now that I have more resources because of the Challenge for Change com-petition, I’m excited about expanding my charity in such a supportive environ-ment and can’t wait to see how it grows."
She said that she's ner-vous about traveling on her own down to Nicaragua, but also excited to meet the other winners and the
locals."Living on Mercer
Island, we’re accustomed to a certain lifestyle that most people in the world don’t have," she said. When I grow up, I want my job to be traveling the world helping others."
A 15-year-old can change the world, she said, even in small ways.
"Save money, and maybe instead of buying a new top or video game, you donate the money. Even the small-est amount goes a long way," she said. "I’m also a strong believer in volun-teering your time. When donating, sometimes you’re not lucky enough to get a personal experience from it, but you always can with volunteering."
Instead of getting an allowance, Berejka sends $20 a month to Diane's younger brother, Bertin. So far, sponsoring a child has been one of the greatest experiences of her life, she said.
"Even though it brought me my lowest of lows, it has also given me my high-est of highs."

During their six years of involvement with NCL, from 7th through 12th grade, members of the class of 2015 have been moved and inspired by their volunteer experi-
ences. The chapter collec-tively volunteered 5,306 hours at over 32 different philanthropies this year.

Meet Reporter intern Kris Brackmann
Islander graduate Kris Brackmann begins her pro-fessional journalism career this summer working as an intern for the Mercer I s l a n d Reporter. She has just com-pleted her second year at Claremont M c K e n n a College, a small lib-eral arts col-lege located in southern Cal i fornia , where she majors in both anthropology and psy-chology.
After graduating from Mercer Island High School in 2013, Brackmann is pleased to be back on ‘The Rock’ reporting about her own community. By working with the Reporter this summer she hopes to expand and develop her skills in both writing and photography.
Brackmann started as a photographer and photo
editor for The Islander newspaper at MIHS. She has most recently been writing for her college newspapers; as a sports writer for The Student Life and staff writer for the campus parody newspa-per, “The Golden Antlers.”
Aside from academ-ics, Kris is active in many
activities at her school that feed her other pas-sions. She serves as a member of the Student-A t h l e t e - A d v i s o r y -Committe, president of the Art Council, and next year will represent her classmates as the elected junior class president.
Brackmann played for the Islanders in vol-leyball, basketball, and
track and field. She has continued her love for bas-ketball by playing for the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps team. The past two seasons she has helped her team win their conference and compete at the Division III NCAA tournament.

mentioned one mystery to him was the amount of care provided by parents and teachers, marveling at the time and energy they show.
“I don’t know how you do what you do, but I know how much it means to us here,” he said.
MIHS English teach-er and faculty speaker Jeff Randolph comically lamented about having to hear students say they couldn’t wait to leave high school after just four years, while most teachers are there much longer. He implored the graduates to find their calling and learn to do it well. And he asked the students to not forget about their parents.
“Please do your parents a favor and when you can, let them know how you’re doing in the adult world,” he said.
The crowd was treated to musical performances of Benedetto Marcello’s “Concerto in C minor” by Isaac Miller on oboe and Eric Westergard on piano, and “Meditation” from Thais, with Ann Guinee on viola and Ailin Fu on piano. Norihiro Shiotsu dedicated his cello performance of “Julie-O” by Mark Summer to the class of 2015 and also to his girlfriend.
Before the ceremonial tassel flip, senior class offi-cers Benji Holen, Luke Mounger and Topher LaCrampe walked through their memories of each year of high school.
“The class of 2015 transcends conventional notions. We are hotter than fire and colder than ice,” Holen said. “I wouldn’t trade my high school expe-rience for anything.”

The emphasis has shifted back to basics and team-bonding as the Mercer Island football team began spring practices and pre-pared to lay the foundation for its 2015 campaign.
Where depth was a strong suit this time last year for a team returning 16 of its 22 starters, now a bevy of new faces are set to take to the gridiron for the Islanders this fall, both on the field and on the sidelines.
“We have some really good frontline guys who have some varsity experi-ence, but in high school you have ebb and flow,” said head coach Brett Ogata. “We’ve [lost] guys who graduated and we got to have some of those juniors and sophomores and to-be seniors who haven’t played much to step up. I think we do have guys who are ready to do that, but this is what spring ball is for.”
Gone is two-year start-ing quarterback and 2014 KingCo Offensive Player of the Year Alfonso Gonzalez,
as well as all-league WR/DB Jack Counihan and first-team linebacker David Emanuels.
Senior Anthony Scalzo will vie for the starting job under center, after seeing spot duty at quarterback last season. Ogata says it will
be a three-man race, with Scalzo getting competition from junior Blake Swanson and sophomore Nikhil Nayar.
The Islanders will look to its six varsity captains for leadership, with seniors Joe Williams, Jonny Osman,
Jackson Caputo and Eric Kim named captains, as well as juniors Andy Bliss and Jordano Mark. Though Ogata said he expects the entire class of seniors to establish culture and iden-tity if the Islanders are to find success in 2015.
“Our goal every year now, the attitude is that we expect to be a playoff team,” he said. “We’re working hard for that. The boys are doing a great job right now of try-ing to fulfill that goal.”
The Mercer Island coach will take over offensive coordinator duties and serve as quarterbacks coach, after previous coordinator Shane Keck took the head coach-ing position at Cascade High School last February. The changeover doesn’t end there, as the Islanders will also see coaching changes at the cornerback, wide receiver, offensive line and linebacker positions.
Ogata said with new blood on his coaching staff, he is looking forward to
changing a few things up on the field, though nothing too drastic.
“Whenever you change an offensive coordinator, things are going to change a little bit,” he said. “We’re going to be doing what we’ve been doing, though with a few changes. Defensively, we kept the same defensive coordinator, so that’s going to be the same. We have new assistants that work under him, but they’ve all been here before.
“It’s exciting. I’m real-ly excited about the new coaches and what they have to bring and what we’re doing with this program right now. I’m pretty fired up about this next season.”

Each year, Mercer Island High School honors its graduates for community service. A total of 92 members of the Class of 2015 earned an award for their work helping in the community.
Based on the hours they work, the stu-dents earn gold, silver, or bronze medals with their graduation robes.
Bronze awards are given to students who have completed 125 hours of community service, silver is given to those completing 180, and students with over 260 hours wear gold.
Amongst the diverse areas of service, many volunteer their time within orga-nizations at the high school. They might be found doing a service project for the National Honor Society, Lions Club, Interact Club, Senior Service Club, and VOICE. They might also be a member of the Green Team, PETRI Club, KidsCorps, Sparkle, the radio station, or lead weekly discussions as a BRIDGES leader.
Students also help with after school pro-grams and sports teams. These include music and theater programs, wrestling or water polo, Junior Hoopsters basketball or serving as a Spanish teacher assistant.
Aside from the high school, these Islanders do their part in the greater Mercer Island community. They volunteer at the Farmers Market, Summer Celebration, the Rotary runs, and with the Boys & Girls Club, Youth & Family Services, Kiwanis Club, National Charity League, and Safe Rides. They also assist parent volunteers at the other schools in the district, like at the Preschool Association’s Circus and the West
Mercer Elementary School science fair. Some students accumulate their hours
through organizations where they have been involved themselves as youth. They include summer camps and sports coaching, while others volunteer with the Boy and Girl Scouts of America, King County Search and Rescue, and University of Washington Medicine.
Many students have volunteered for awareness organizations like Seattle Amigos, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Relay for Life, and Seattle AIDS Walk. And others volun-teer for projects and go on missions through their faith community.
The impact made by these students isn’t just seen around the greater Seattle area but globally as well. These students have volunteered for Global Visionaries, Rustic Pathways, a Costa Rica orphanage, and trav-eled to Mexico to build houses.
