“You help people. That’s what you do,” said Jody Mull as we
talked about the importance of community. Jody and her husband, Cliff, are long-time residents of Lakemont and are active in community activities, most notably those items impacting education. The Mulls are the parents of three daughters ranging in age from 22 to 16. And considering the key activities of their children, Jody and Cliff Mull are clearly wonderful role models for the notion of local and global community.
Jody, Madeline, Cliff, Caroline, Lydia Mull
Familyspotlight COMMUNITY AND COMMITMENT – MEET THE MULL’S Photos by: Gina Mazzaferro Photography
Jody’s focus on education began when her daughters started school. The Mull daughters attended The Children’s Garden School in Issaquah—a preschool founded by Bonnie V. Steussy and David Edfeldt. The founders created a culture that brought families together in a spirit of community. The ties that were formed during this time fostered deep connections among the parents that ultimately emerged into a spirit of volunteerism. Shared purpose emerged from a group of dedicated parents who worked together because it was the right thing to do…. and because it was fun and celebrated community. This spirit embraced at The Garden carried Jody and others in fundraising and helping others as a way to support things that mattered. The Children’s Garden has impacted many volunteer groups in the Issaquah community, including the Issaquah Schools Foundation (ISF), which is a non-profit group that supports students and programs throughout the Issaquah School District. As Jody’s daughters transitioned into elementary school, Jody became very involved in the ISF, including serving as Board President twice. Jody’s skills and experiences from the Children’s Garden School gained ground while her children progressed from elementary school up through high school. The Board of Trustees, made up of parents and community members, along with a supportive Issaquah community and supportive school district, created programs that generated $1.4M last year to benefit the students of the Issaquah School District- a remarkable achievement for a local community. Jody’s passion for education has increased to the point that she now advocates in Olympia for educational issues. In her words, “Funding spent on education today won’t be spent on prisons later.” Jody attended Western Washington University and met her husband Cliff there. Like his daughters, Cliff attended Issaquah High School where he also played soccer. And he also played soccer at

WWU which has helped him as he has coached his daughters over the years for the Newport Soccer Club. Cliff is a local property developer and has coached for the Newport Soccer Club. The Mulls’ spirit of volunteerism has passed down to their children. Their eldest daughter, Madeline, spent a year at Whitworth University and then joined Youth with a Mission (YWAM), where she has done missionary work for the poor in Guinea Bissau, Senegal, South Korea, the island of Palau the Philippines and Rwanda. Lydia, the Mull’s middle daughter, has participated in Young Lives Camp, where she cared for the children of teenage mothers so they could get some time off to enjoy a camp experience. Lydia is also active athletically. She has been co-captain of the Issaquah High School swim team and also played soccer. Lydia will be starting University in the fall.

It’s Tailgating Season!
October
With school back in session and the Seahawks season underway, it’s the time of year when fans of both college and professional football teams start flying team flags, wearing jerseys to work on Fridays and, on game day, tailgating. If you’re lucky enough to score game tickets, you can tailgate at the stadium with friends, family and probably a few new friends. If you’re not quite that lucky, you can still pretend at home and enjoy your friends and the lack of parking fees. Either way, it counts: your team’s victory depends on your ability to tailgate like a pro, right? Here are some tips on how to tailgate like you mean it, whether you’re at the stadium or at home, and a few on how to tailgate without busting your bank account. Don’t make it a competition. No matter what you do, no matter how big you go, someone else’s game-day party will be bigger and more elaborate than yours. Got a life-size ice sculpture of Russell Wilson? Someone else will have the entire Legion of Boom carved out of butter. Just relax and focus on enjoying your time with friends and family.
your source for great tailgate Food! LOOK FOR THE 12TH MAN SCORE TAGS AROUND THE STORE for 12% Savings on your tailgate favorites
Slow Cooker Turkey Chili for 12 People INGREDIENTS • 1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil • 1-1/2 pounds ground turkey • 2 (10.75 ounce) cans low sodium tomato soup • 1 can chopped tomatoes with green chiles • 3 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, drained • 1-1/2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained • 3/4 medium onion, chopped • 3 tablespoons chili powder • 2-1/4 teaspoons garlic powder • 2-1/4 teaspoons ground cumin • 1-1/2 pinches ground black pepper • 1-1/2 pinches ground allspice • salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place turkey in the skillet, and cook until evenly brown; drain. • Coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray, and mix in turkey, tomato soup, chopped tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans and onion. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, allspice and salt. • Cover, and cook 8 hours on low, or 4 hours on high.
Be a good neighbor. If you’re parked at the stadium, make sure the tailgaters around you have room to park and party. If you’re at home, remember that everyone around you might not be as big a fan as your group. Celebrate, but remember that you have to live there after your friends are gone, and keep the volume under 11. Provide water. A lot of water. Tailgating and beer seem synonymous, but not everyone will partake, and some people are picky about their pop alternatives. Whether your guests are imbibing or not, having a lot of water on hand is a wise idea. Let your guests contribute to the spirit. Everyone has their favorite game-day food. Encourage your guests to bring theirs, so you don’t have to buy/make everything. Be prepared for weather. If you tailgate at the stadium without a canopy and the Seattle skies decide to live up to their reputation, your party could get cut very short. If you’re at home, don’t invite so many people that it’s a crowd inside if it’s raining outside.

Don’t forget the kids. The adults will be socializing and looking forward to the game. The kids might be bored.

Financial Fitness MEE T JASON TOTEDO – AMERIPRISE WEALTH MANAGER
Jason Totedo always wanted to be in the finance industry. He graduated with an economics degree, beginning a series of career progressions that eventually brought him to the Washington and to join AGP Wealth Advisors, a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial. When Jason was 24 he moved to New York City and worked as a trader at the Philadelphia Stock exchange. He shifted to New York and spent 6 years working on fixed income (bond) sales and trading. Jason had a chance to visit a friend in California and liked the sunshine. In the age of the internet, it’s just as possible to be off of Wall St. and still be deeply tied into information and communications. So, with sunshine in mind, Jason moved to California and joined Wilshire Associates—they are the lead consultant for Calpers the second largest public pension fund in the United States. Through Wilshire Associates his expertise moved into portfolio construction and risk management. All the pieces of the financial services puzzle were coming together: experience in stocks, bonds, and risk management.
What rounded out Jason’s background out was the CFA designation. The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is the highest designation applicable in the financial services industry. There are only about 120,000 analysts that have a CFA designation in the world—it is viewed with a great deal of prestige to receive it and Jason received his designation in 2001. The CFA takes a minimum of 3 years to get and exams must be passed in multiple areas of investment management and research, including Accounting, Stocks, Bonds, Derivatives, and a heavy emphasis on ethics and the duty to the client. AGP Wealth Advisors is a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial. According to Jason, what sets AGP Wealth advisors apart is their development of “Specialty teams” in defined areas to offer deeper understanding of specific capabilities. For example, AGP has the following specialty teams: insurance, financial planning and small business focused retirement planning. This allows these teams to augment the expert work of advisors who are looking to take care of a client’s broad range of needs. AGP provides a breadth and depth of solutions to cover a wider array of client needs. This helps avoid a limited assortment of products. A deep part of Jason’s expertise comes from having been through the highs and lows of the market. According to Jason, “I was fortunate enough to be a teenager when my grandfather
was still alive. He lived through the depression – he understood the value of a dollar and what that means through the generations.” Now having lived through a number of financial cycles and difficult economic times, I have seen the impact of poor financial choices. Jason believes and AGP Wealth Advisors believe that listening is the most important part of their job. “We need to understand our client’s goals, risk comfort and the resources they have available to them. We dig deep as we establish a relationship, because we know the solutions we craft together will have far reaching positive consequences.” Jason enjoys living in the Pacific Northwest with Kate, and their 2 ½-year-old daughter, Amelia, and their two Labs, Sydney and Cooper.

EASTSIDE PEDIATRIC DENTAL GROUP
I
n September, Eastside Pediatric Dental Group celebrated their 20th anniversary of service to our local community and those surrounding. They are a pediatric dental clinic specializing in care for children ages 1 through 18 only. DDS Managing Partner, Dr. John Liu started EPDG in 1994, on Front Street in downtown Issaquah. At the time he worked out of a small house next to Mills Music, with only two and a half chairs. The third chair became a half because it was squeezed against a window with no room for an assistant to help him. Then in 1996, Dr. SallySue Lombardi (DDS, MSD) joined the practice and worked once a week in the small house with Dr. Liu until they moved into their next building. In 1997, they moved to the office park they are currently in which has seven chairs. Dr. Liu & Dr. Lombardi are both examiners for the pediatric board of dentistry. Two years later, Dr. Donna Quinby (DMD, MSD) joined the practice and then in 2005, helped expand the practice to the building behind them which is their current location. They have twelve dental chairs here. All three of their dentists are board certified and Dr. Liu holds the title of commissioner for the Dental Quality Assurance Commission for Washington State as well as being an active member of the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Liu originally got involved with the commission per request of his wife. After years of being actively involved in the American Academy of Pediatrics which caused him to be on the road too frequently and away from his young family, his wife asked to step down as President of the organization. But she knew his restless spirit too well and soon realized he needed to be back in dental community, outside of his immediate work.
“I’ve always been concerned about the quality of dental care and concerned about the dental profession not doing enough,” Liu explains. “For example the Washington State Dental Association has really no way of discipline its’ members for inappropriate treatment of patients and that sort of thing. That’s when I turned to looking at the Dental Assurance Commission which does have the authority to deal with dentists that treat patients inappropriately.” This deep concern and care for his patients is shown throughout his work. Dr. Liu and his staff make sure his clients understand their commitment to helping them raise their children cavity free. Yet, unlike most dental offices, they will never do a filling unless it’s absolutely necessary.

They also provide services for special needs children. For developmentally disabled patients, they will find a dentist for them when they turn 18 and in some cases will continue to treat them into adulthood so they have continual dental care. They offer IV sedation so they can provide for the entire spectrum of children; even with medical or behavioral issues, they’ll be able to take care of them. All of the doctors also have staff privileges at Odessa Brown Children’s Clinic which is a part of Children’s Hospital in Seattle. Dr. Liu recalls a sweet story about a 30-something adult patient of his with special needs. His parents, who were in their 70s and getting ready to retire, brought him in to get him checked out. He was a tall, stalky boy who wore a helmet due to a condition where he would knock his head against the wall repeatedly.

Dr. Liu bent over backwards and made any arrangements necessary to help treat this boy. The boy ended up needing to go to the outpatient surgery center and one of the nurses came into the room where they were preparing to do the work on him. “She asked, ‘what did you do to his mother?’” Liu explains. “The nurse then explained the mother said she was going to adopt him (Dr. Liu) and take him home with her. It made it all worthwhile to go through all the extra steps because she was so appreciative.” The EPDG also participates in a lot of different charity work throughout the year, both locally and within the medical community. Some organizations include: Remote Area Medical, the annual participation in the United States Coast Guard Holiday Stockings for Homeless Children as well as school auctions, local health and community fairs and children’s organizations across the region.

“Sometimes a stain is just the stain and once we cut into a tooth that tooth it will never be the same,” Liu explains. “If we can preserve the tooth in its natural condition, that’s ideal, and we children and families to come in on a regular basis.”

Night Out GASTROPUB IN A SPORTS BAR - A Night Out at Redmond Bar and Grill Written By Jenny Hart Danowski Photographs provided by Roser Photography

espite all of the changes going on in downtown Redmond, one building has remained since 1903, housing several businesses throughout Redmond’s history, including the fraternal lodge for the Independent Order of Odd Fellow, a performance and dance hall, Redmond’s first movie theater, and an antiques store. In June of 2011, Tim Short purchased the building and, after doing a quick remodel, opened Redmond‘s Bar & Grill. Tim grew up in Issaquah, but moved to Arizona and worked in restaurants to pay his way through flight school. He co-owned his first bar and grill in Scottsdale, Arizona, leaving to fly for a commercial airline about five years later. When the airline faltered, the opportunity came up to purchase the building in Redmond, so he took it over in June of 2011 and opened in September of that year. His goal? To create an upscale bar and grill that was approachable, so that guests could bring their friends and kids and not have to dress up. The result is just that, with kids welcome until 11:00 pm, and happy hour applying to the entire restaurant rather than just the bar. Guests can enjoy live entertainment a couple times a month, and play pool or shuffleboard in the back. And while Tim says there is a ghost living upstairs, he assures me it’s a friendly spirit! Catering Manager Lara Dattilo says, “We do full-service catering, including everything from drop off box lunches…to Christmas parties…to 300 person events…and more. Whatever you think of, we will do for you!” She recently hosted 11 of us here for a fantastic meal, and did an excellent job explaining the dishes and visiting with our guests. Chef Chris Nelson, a veteran in the industry, also came out to say hello. He got his start baking cookies in his family’s kitchen when he was eight years old, because he promised his mom he would clean up afterward.
He then applied to Jake‘s on the beach in Del Mar, California, where he quickly progressed from dishwasher to prep cook. After moving here, he worked at the Beach Café at Carillon Point (where he met his wife) and then Hector’s, before coming to Redmond’s Bar & Grill three years ago. The menu here includes everything from sushi to fish tacos to steak salad to burgers. Everything is made fresh daily in their kitchen, and breakfast is served from 9:30 am to 2:00 pm on weekends. Gluten- and dairy-free items are available as well. Our guests were raving, as is evident in their comments. Doug Liddiard said, “Excellent service…great variety…and great presentation! My favorites were the goat-cheese stuffed jalapenos wrapped in bacon, the steak filet, the salmon, and the burger with pretzel bun. Consider us regulars now!” Karen Higman and Michael Clifford said, “The atmosphere is casual, however the menu is very sophisticated and complex without being stuffy. EVERYTHING was superb! The fish tacos were the best I’ve had in the Puget Sound, and the sauce was amazing! We will be regulars for both lunch and dinner from now on!” Nate and Katie Sherman said, “We loved the variety of appetizers that were offered. The Seared Ahi was light and fresh, and the bacon-wrapped jalapenos were amazing! The desserts were also incredible, especially the Tiramisu cheesecake!” And finally, Erika Borden summed things up by saying, “I would recommend this restaurant to people based on the excellent, super friendly service and the great food!” Redmond’s Bar & Grill, 7979 Leary Way NE, Redmond, WA 98052, (425) 558-9800. www.redmondsgrill.com.

IN THE DIRT Garden Fitness: Fall Clean Up Contributed by community resident, Ilse Burch
Experienced gardeners know that if you clean up in October, the spring garden looks a lot better and is less work. And we often get a very cold snap in November, making October the last month to get mulch down and protect tender plants.

Private Training Gets Results It is time to finally get rid of all weeds. (Haha! Pardon me, but eventually you can go a bit mad over the weeds!) Remember to not compost anything that has seeds on it or else you will spread weeds along with your compost. Be sure to remove the roots of perennial weeds, such as blackberries, or they will come back gangbusters in the spring. Cut back plants that are totally finished unless they might look nice in the winter or possibly feed the birds (I am thinking of coneflowers, ornamental grasses, etc.), and pull out annuals that have finished their life cycle. Don't cut back plants that are not truly finished, because they will try to grow more. These plants can be cut back in the spring. Hopefully by now you have decided what you really liked about this year's garden, and you are thinking about what to do to liven up areas that were kind of lackluster. A few lovely variegated plants can add interest to areas that were kind of flat green, and now is also the time to think about what to plant for fragrance for next year. Fragrance is another dimension in the garden and well worth working for! There are often fall plant sales and it is still worthwhile buying hardy shrubs, trees, and perennials and planting them. Planting bulbs is an essential fall activity that pays big dividends in the spring and summer. If bulbs disappear on you, try hyacinths- they last a long time and smell wonderful. Lilies are another bulb that tends to last a long time for me, and I really love the fragrance some kinds have! If your mulch layer looks thin, now is the time to reinforce it. It will help keep the weeds down over winter and next spring and will protect your plants from sudden cold snaps, as well as help in keeping things moist next summer thus reducing your water bill. Pile a thick layer of mulch around tender plants such as dahlias and fuchsias. Once they have frozen back, sometime this month or next, you should push at least three inches of mulch over their crowns to help preserve them over winter.

Roses should not be pruned any more, and it is a good idea to allow them to set some seeds - so don't deadhead them any more either. This allows them to recognize that it is fall and they should get ready to go dormant. Also, no more rose food. Let them relax and get ready for winter. If they have a lot of black spot, collect the leaves and put them into the garbage to reduce next year's diseases. Do not compost rose leaves with blackspot because the leaves are carrying the fungus pathogen and this may survive the composting and get spread around with the compost, thus infecting more plants.

October is a great time to divide plants and plant hardy trees and shrubs. Doing so in fall, when we usually have good rainfall in the winter, will help newly planted plants get established by next summer (although you will probably have to water the next season and at least two more for trees). Be sure to add some amendments to the planting hole for new transplants. I like organic fertilizers because they feed over a long period. The only problem with them is that dogs often find them very attractive. I sometimes cover new transplants with empty seedling flats, or loose branches, or whatever to discourage my dogs from digging them up. This cover will also protect the new transplants from sunburn while they have less roots. Organic fertilizers smell a lot less enticing after about a week and a bit of rain or if you water them in well. Even if it is scheduled to rain, be sure to water any new transplants right after you plant them. If you do not do this, they may not survive. We often overestimate the amount of water that penetrates the soil from a single rain so an initial good soaking is important. The lawn should be fertilized in late October with an organic grass fertilizer. This will help your grass make great roots and look much better next spring. Organic fertilizers will actually make your grass healthier and more drought-tolerant for next year because they encourage the growth of good roots. So many chores in the month of October! But don't forget to enjoy the beautiful fall color and the many plants that bloom in the fall. And if you compost, do collect as many of the fallen leaves as you can and put them into the compost or use them as mulch. They contain many rare, trace elements that are washed out by our copious winter rains. And shhh! Trace elements are one of the secret ingredients in the experienced gardener's surprising success!

Thriving Cities and Clashing Cultures: The Beauty of the North The northern region of India is an assorted mix of cultures, traditions, languages and arts. The vulnerability of this area to outside invaders throughout history has been both a blessing and a curse, bringing with the turmoil unique external influences and inspirations. The capital city of New Delhi, with its mix of four major religions, 7 reigns of power and 2500 years of history, is a prime example of coexisting realities. Wind your way through Old Delhi and be surrounded by remnants of the Mughal Empire, including the largest mosque in India, the Jama Masjid, and Humayun’s Tomb, a 16th century landmark of breathtaking Mughal architecture that would later be echoed in the Taj Mahal. New Delhi is almost a different world with its imperial architecture and broad stately boulevards. Colonial influence is abundant since the British declared Delhi the capital during their rule. The Taj Mahal is also in the north, about 200 kilometers from Delhi. This is the most iconic demonstration of Mughal construction and should not be missed.
A Light into the Heartland: Travel India’s South Travel to the more culturally homogenous south of India and witness thousands of years of the caste system still in practice despite the more modern structure of India’s government. With its alluring tales of trade and independence, Goa is one of the most popular destinations along the Indian coastline. Among Goa’s ancient ruins stands the Vittala Temple, a monumental tribute to the capital city of the primeval Vijayangara Empire. Most notable are the temple’s musical pillars that represent different musical instruments. Goa’s intricate architecture and independent culture are also products of 450 years of Portuguese colonial rule. In the south, the traveler will also encounter a plethora of biodiversity and protected wilderness areas. The Western Ghats Range is classified as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots where Silent Valley National Park protects India’s last tract of virgin tropical evergreen forest. When to Travel to India Despite the gargantuan size of this subcontinent, there are distinct seasons during which travel anywhere in the country can be extraordinarily uncomfortable and stressful. From April to October, temperatures soar above 90F (45C) and humidity escalates to unbearable levels. October also marks the end of the monsoon season during which the southern and coastal regions are plagued with torrential downpour. The rest of the year is very pleasant and mild with consistently warm weather in the south and rather chilly evenings in the north between December and February.
