Mauli Desai of Sammamish was afraid of being a working mom and housewife who never gets the opportunity to fulfill the dreams or her youth. “She also wanted to challenge herself and set an example for the kids by doing something extraordinary,” said her husband Parthiv. So Mauli aimed high in search of her challenge — 14,410 feet to be precise — and focused on the summit of Mount Rainier. Earlier this month, Mauli, 39, made her first-ever ascent of a glaciated peak despite having limited prior hiking experience. To add to the challenge, she hoped to raise $1,500 for the charity ASHA for Education, which provides health and basic education to underprivileged children in India. “When I signed up for this climb back in February, I

Changes to East Sunset Way are proposed in the city’s $50 million transportation bond, but what those changes entail remains to be seen.
228th Ave. SE
A fenced-off area steps away from Lake Sammamish State Park’s Sunset Beach is garnering a lot of attention. Passers-by can’t help but stop and peer through the chain-link fence at the beginnings of a modern playground that Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park Executive Director Janet Farness hopes becomes an Eastside attraction. “It’s been so cute to watch everybody while they watch this happen,” she said. Work on the $1 million playground is still in its infancy — without signage, it would be difficult to discern what is happening on the nearly 10,000-squarefoot space. But after a delay in the contractor bidding process, things are finally starting to come together, Farness said. Workers recently completed most of the site preparation, including concrete work and utility installation. A concrete pathway surrounding an empty space where the play structures will go is the most visible thing on the construction site right now. One slice of the walkway is adorned with mosaic-like glasswork that resembles a splash of water flowing

he phrase “time to take back our town” echoed through the City Council chambers as councilmembers voted 6-0 to send a $50 million Issaquah transportation bond to the Nov. 8 general election ballot. During the July 18 meeting, the council approved a bond that would fund four projects the city says will help alleviate traffic congestion and improve safety for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Council President Stacy Goodman called the decision, which she fully supports, significant. “The time is now to go to voters to ask for local dollars to pay for local projects,” Goodman said. “A delay only compounds our transportation issues.” She did emphasize the four proposed projects in the package would not fix traffic congestion.

here it looked like they were working on a piece of art,” she said. The glasswork was done all by hand, said Bob Droll, the project’s landscape architect. The special slab of concrete earned the extra adornment since it will be the site of a 9-foot sculpture of a great blue heron. When someone pushes a button located on the ground in front of the sculpture, the big bird will spray people with water. “That’s the extremely whimsical part of it,” Farness said. “We see the birds here a lot, they have a rookery here, and as kids walk by, it’s going to be great to have a 9-foot bird greet them.” There’s still some time before the heron is installed. The next step in the playground construction is preparation of the surface area and getting the soil ready to install the play equipment, said Jamie Van De Vanter, the project representative. The all-accessible playground will also include a zip line, a climbing net, outdoor chimes, educational panels, swings and slides. The playground’s target age-range is 2-12. “That’s what’s recommend-
ed, but we know younger than 2 are going to play with it and older than 12 are going to play with it,” Farness said. The park hoped to unveil the new playground at its Parkadilly celebration July 24, but delays prevented that. Farness said they are now eyeing an October grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony. SiteLines, a park playground supplier, will install concrete footings for the play structures. The park will then look to the community for help in installing and constructing the actual pieces. Helpers who are 18 and older are invited to assist with the construction over a three-day period Aug. 24-26. No building experience is necessary, Farness said. Sign up to volunteer at lakesammamishfriends.org or email Farness at director@flssp.org. The state earmarked $750,000 in its capital budget for the project and challenged the Friends group to come up with matching local funds of $250,000. They are about $10,000 away from reaching that goal, Farness estimated. People can still contribute at playground4all.com.

Adding roundabouts and a second southbound lane to Newport Way Northwest between Northwest Maple and West Sunset Way is part of a $26.2 million package of changes the city would make to the arterial.
Proposed changes to the Providence Point entrances on Southeast 43rd Way include adding a traffic signal, a pedestrian crossing and an alignment of the entrances One possible change could involve the source of funding for the Newport Way: Maple to Sunset project. According to city documents, the developer, Inneswood Estates LLC, is planning to build two multi-family residential buildings along Newport Way Northwest at Northwest Juniper Street and has agreed to construct a roundabout at the intersection instead of paying traffic mitigation fees to the city. According to the city, at the time the ballot measure projects were crafted, the Inneswood development along Newport Way was uncertain. So the ballot measure project description still includes the roundabout at the intersection of Juniper and Newport due to the uncertainty of the final

completion of the Inneswood project. If approved by voters, the bond would be payable by excess annual property tax levies. The city estimates an annual property tax rate of 33 cents per $1,000 of assessed value over the 25-year life of the bonds. At that rate, the additional taxes on a home assessed at $500,000 would be $165; at $600,000, the add-on would be $198; and the owner of a $700,000 home would pay $231. Assessed values are recalculated each year by King County. Passage of an excess tax levy requires a voter participation level of 40 percent of voters who participated in the last general election and 60 percent approval of the measure.

“This package, as we heard many times tonight, is one small part of a much larger strategy for tackling traffic,” Goodman said. Councilmember Mary Lou Pauly said current spending on roads is not at a level where the city can keep up with its aging network. “Within our boundaries alone we cannot pave our problem away, but maintaining our transportation network and our aging infrastructure is an important city responsibility,” Pauly said, voicing her support for the bond. “This bond will allow some major legacy projects to be addressed.” Councilmember Bill Ramos supported the bond, but said by asking residents to fund the local traffic bond along with the $54 billion Sound Transit 3 project, which is also on the November ballot, might be too much for some residents. “All these costs keep adding up,” Ramos said. “Some of us can pay them very easily and others can’t.” Councilmember Eileen Barber said today’s traffic makes it extremely challenging for downtown businesses to succeed and noted that many of the smaller stores on Front Street are frequently changing. “It’s difficult to survive in an area in which the traffic is at a standstill and consumers do not wish to come down there,” Barber said. All six councilmembers who were present at the meeting — Goodman, Pauly, Ramos, Barber, Paul Winterstein and Mariah Bettise — spoke in favor of the bond, but also expressed concern over the preliminary state of the East Sunset Way plan, saying it was important the final version retain parking for the small-business owners along that route. Goodman applauded after the bond was approved by the City Council. “That’s a great first step,” Mayor Fred Butler said following the vote. “Now it’s up to our citizens.” The city said the current cost estimates of the four projects could change over time.

It’s a ‘critical area’ — until we want it for something else
I
was out with the dog over the weekend along the East Lake Sammamish Trail, where it’s hard not to notice the ubiquitous “Critical Area” signs lining both sides of the route. “Help protect and care for these special natural areas,” the signs also say. A product of King County, the signs depict a great blue heron, snowcapped peaks, a marsh with cattails and a hillside of evergreens. Walking along the trail north from Gilman SCOTT STODDARD Boulevard, the signs lost their Press editor meaning after only a few steps, where heavy machinery was pounding the earth at the former site of the Mar Si Motel, only 20 yards away from one of the signs. That was just the opening act. Where East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast is being overhauled, swaths of what the county is telling me is a “critical area” were, to put it bluntly, trashed. It was a similar scene up on the plateau during the Fourth of July. The City of Sammamish’s fireworks display was launched only a few feet away from a fenced-off area dotted with “Wetland — Sensitive Area” signs. No one told the deer I saw grazing in this “sensitive area” they’d soon be directly below a thundering pyrotechnic display in a couple

What King County calls a “Critical Area” along East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast is just a construction zone these days. hours. My point: These signs stand for nothing. Either the area is “critical” or “sensitive,” or it’s not. If it truly is critical, respect it. Do our national parks have a one-day freefor-all where ATVs are welcome on the trails? Then why is what a city government describes as a sensitive wetland all of a sudden appropriate for fireworks demolition? On the East Lake Sammamish Trail, it’s apparent a portion of King County’s “critical area” is going to be lost for the expansion of the roadway. So let’s be honest
and put up signs that don’t play the ecosystem card. How about, “Please stay on the trail.” And perhaps, “Please do not litter. Thanks to our nonstop growth, in some instances those quotation marks around “critical” and “sensitive” are now just air quotes. From The Editor’s Desk is Scott Stoddard’s column.

Traffic
Headline on newspaper’s bond story was just plain wrong The Issaquah Press headline; “Traffic bond would cost owner of $500K home $165 per year” is just plain wrong! The traffic bond would cost such an owner $165 only in the FIRST year. Let’s assume Issaquah home valuations go up just 5 percent a year (they were up 16 percent this year). If the tax rate is held constant at $0.33 per thousand, the next year the bond will cost the owner $173. And so on year after year for 25 years. With the power of compounding, the owner will be paying $330 — twice as much — in 14 years. And it will continue going up for the remaining 11 years. That’s OK if the owner’s income also increases 5 percent per year. But if it doesn’t, they will be losing ground. If The Issaquah Press really wants to be known for “shining a

Traffic
Bond will not do much to unclog city’s streets I am concerned the city is misleading everyone in your articles. The proposed bond will not solve the traffic problems. The bond will address some traffic items, but will do nothing to relieve the north-south congestion we see in the morning and evening each weekday. The fact remains that the north-south traffic is controlled by two two-lane county roads: Issaquah-Hobart and
SR 900. No matter what Issaquah does, these two roads will continue to control the flow of traffic in and out of Issaquah on our southern border. So we can spend $50 million dollars to make bike paths and pedestrian trails (and eliminate downtown parking), but the automobile traffic will remain as it is and continue to get worse. I’m inclined to not spend the money.

Politics
Attack ads paint inaccurate portrait of Mullet I am frustrated to see the negative TV ads and mailers full of untruths about our current state senator, Mark Mullet. These untruths were used four years ago when Mark first ran for the state Senate, and I am already tired of seeing them repeated from the same outside interest group. I worked with Mark when we were both on the Issaquah City Council, and he has been our biggest supporter in Olympia. He successfully fought for funding to revitalize Lake Sammamish State Park, and secured crucial dollars to add extra freeway lanes on I-90 and Issaquah-Fall City Road. Mark has an impeccable record of honesty. This extreme, outside interest group is looking out for its own political agenda, not for our community. Please vote Yes for Mark Mullet on your primary ballot this month.

Inspections were performed July 11-17 by Public Health, Seattle and King County. A food establishment inspection is only a snapshot of the operation during a limited time. Readers should look at more than one inspection (view inspection reports online at theeastside.news/inspections) to get a better idea of the overall operation. Red violations: High-risk factors are improper practices or procedures identified as the most prevalent contributing factors of foodborne illness or injury. One red critical violation equals an unsatisfactory inspection. County environmental health specialists work with operators to make sure these
violations are corrected before they leave the establishment. Blue violations: Low-risk factors are preventive measures to control the addition of pathogens, chemicals, and physical objects into foods. 435 or more red violation points require a reinspection within 14 days. 490 or more red violation points or 120 total violation points (red and blue) require closure of the establishment.

By Christina Corrales-Toy ccorrales-toy@isspress.com The Issaquah Highlands Community Association believes it has identified the individuals responsible for releasing about 250 landscaping goats from their Issaquah Highlands enclosure July 17. The community received several tips after offering a reward for information regarding the incident, said IHCA Executive Director Sarah Hoey. “We had lots of positive feedback and support,” she said. The IHCA forwarded the information to the Issaquah Police Department. There were several people involved and Hoey said she believed they were minors. Officers responded to Central Park at about 11:30 p.m. July 17 after callers reported loud noises in the area, according to a city news release. Police located a box with several tubes for launching aerial fireworks. While officers were at the park, several callers

reported escaped goats near 24th Avenue Northeast and Central Park. Officers located several of the wayward goats and contacted the shepherd, who was able to secure the loose goats. The shepherd told police somebody unplugged the energizer to the electric fence and lowered a section of fence to let the goats out. “This is the first time we’ve had any problems,” Healing Hooves owner Craig Madsen said. There was no damage reported as a result of the incident, according to the city, but Madsen said one of the young goats was poisoned by exposure to toxic shrubs during the release. He had to use activated charcoal to treat the goat. Madsen said he believes the electric fence was deliberately disconnected and fireworks were used to spook the goats out of the enclosure. The Issaquah Highlands Community Association hired Healing Hooves and Rent-ARuminant goats to conduct summer landscaping.

Her climb of Mount Rainier was professionally guided by Miyar Adventures, which helped her to learn safety and walking skills on the snow. During her training, Parthiv said she never failed to put family first. “When she was away for almost all weekends and a few weekdays, she had always put extra efforts to LAURA DILL.FINAL.IP.CMYK. make sure that commitPDF 0725her LAM
ment to the Rainier climb did not impact our family or her work,” Parthiv said. Blogging about her experience somewhere between the ascent the descent, Mauli became an inspiration not only to her 6- and 10-yearold daughters, but to other women from her age group. “I see myself becoming more confident, independent and a skilled hiker that I can lead my kids and other women out on a hike,” Mauli said. “I could see that my kids became more independent as well. They were proud of their mom. My-10-year old is big enough to understand how I have achieved this goal with tough training. I am happy to set an example for my kids that anything can be done with hard work.” Mauli said so far she’s raised $400 in donations.

Q&A Maria Nelson
Blackberries, blueberries and ginger? It’s simple summer perfection
A
s I’ve mentioned here before, I have a deep and abiding appreciation of pie in all its forms and variations. It’s the food I miss the most when I’m on another one of my self-imposed diets and it is inevitably the one food I think longingly of most, regardless of the time of year. I love it more than pasta, more than soups, more than cakes and, dare I say it, more than chocolate. Berry pies have MARIA always had a special NELSON place in my heart, in no small part due to their sturdiness, their accessibility yearround (thanks to frozen summer berries) and their downright homey coziness. I’ve taken to always having a steady supply of pie crust in my freezer over the summer so I’m never more than an hour or two away from a fragrant, bubbly pie when the fancy strikes or I’ve come home with more berries than I bargained for. This pie combines two of my favorite berries with a delicious and slightly spicy hit from the ginger. It works well with both fresh and frozen berries. The tapioca prevents the pie from becoming too runny, so you can conceivably have a slice while the pie’s still cooling on the counter. Simple summer perfection.

Black and Blueberry Ginger Pie
Issaquah air traffic controller also serves in Coast Guard reserve Editor’s Note: Earlier this year, the Coast Guard’s media relations team in Seattle interviewed members of the Coast Guard’s Pacific Northwest Reserve Force. This Q&A is a discussion with Yeoman First Class Kay Dolan of Issaquah.

44 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen 44 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen 4¼ cup instant tapioca 4Zest of 1 lemon 4¼ teaspoon ground ginger 4¾ cup sugar 42 tablespoons crystalized ginger, finely diced 42¾ cups all-purpose flour 4½ teaspoon salt 41¼ cups cold unsalted butter, diced 44 tablespoons ice water 41 egg, beaten 42 tablespoons turbinado sugar
reserve time. This includes multiple short-term mobilizations and one overseas deployment.
Prepare the dough by combining the flour, salt and butter in the bowl of a food processor until it’s crumbly. Slowly add the ice water through the feed tube while pulsing the processor to combine. Add an additional tablespoon of water if needed. The mixture should retain its shape when pressed together. Separate dough into two even, flat disks no more than a quarter-inch thick and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate one hour or until chilled thoroughly. Once the dough is ready, remove from the refrigerator and allow to warm slightly while preparing the filling. Combine the berries in a large bowl, then add the instant tapioca, lemon zest, ground ginger, sugar and crystalized ginger. Set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Generously flour a board and roll one of the pie crust rounds flat and line a pie plate with the bottom round. Pour the berry mixture into the pan. Roll the other round flat, then cut into strips for a lattice design if desired. Layer the lattice strips on top, fold under the bottom crust and crimp with a fork. Brush the beaten egg on top and sprinkle the sugar evenly over all. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and bake 60-70 minutes or until the filling is bubbling. Cover lightly with foil if the crust is browning too quickly. Serve warm with ice cream.

Q: Why did you join the Coast Guard? Why do you stay and what keeps you motivated? A: I wanted to be on the water.
I thought the Coast Guard might provide some great opportunities to experience a change of scenery and meet some great people, too.
Q: Have you been deployed since joining the reserves? If so, where and when? A: I deployed to St. Louis
Q: What are some of your responsibilities while on duty? A: I manage budgets, maintain
personnel readiness metrics and am constantly reviewing policy updates to ensure we are in compliance with current guidance. During high-tempo periods, I review reserve orders and ensure proper funding is available. Lastly, it’s important for me to stay connected with other yeomen to see if they

Q. What is your occupation outside of the Coast Guard? Where? A: I am an air traffic con-

True to his name, Rambo is one tough 13-year-old Yorkshire terrier. After suffering a fall that broke his pelvis (which was repaired), Rambo he shows no signs of slowing down. Right now, he doesn’t have much use of his left hind leg, but he walks pretty fast in his own special way with a smile on his face. Rambo is ready for a family who is gentle with him, and in return they’ll get a loving companion with a lot of spunk and heart. Meet Oakie, a 4-year-old male orange tabby. He is a bit reserved at first but warms up with gentle attention. Oakie is currently at Oakie PetSmart in Overlake, a Seattle Humane satellite location, and ready to meet his new best friends today and be on his way to great things in a new loving home. Come sweep this gentle sweetie off his paws today and welcome him into your heart and home, you’ll be glad you did.

City to remove four trees near swimming pool
31.16727.IP.R
The city will remove four trees as it works to repair a damaged sewer line and sidewalk at Julius Boehm Pool. The trees need to be removed to prevent additional damage from the trees’ roots, according to a city news flash. Once the trees are removed, crews will replace the damaged sewer line and sidewalk. Work started last week, and is expected to continue through August. The pool will remain open during the work. Visitors should prepare for parking changes, and follow the marked pedestrian pathway to enter the building. After the replacement is complete, picnic tables and planters will be added to the area.
