Dreaming big for Lake Sammamish State Park Friends group partners with REI to help rejuvenate park BY LYNN THOMPSON The Seattle Times
With the Cascade mountain
wilderness to the east and the waters of Lake Washington and Puget Sound to the west, hikers, boaters and picnickers in the region have often bypassed Lake Sammamish State Park. Mud and blackberries choked the extensive trails and wetlands. With the exception of some hot summer weekends when the sandy lakeshore was crowded with sunbathers and
swimmers, supporters say the 500-acre park often seemed neglected and underused. Now a major effort is under way by the state and Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park to rejuvenate the park. Native habitat is being restored along three salmon-bearing streams. A new $2.6 million bathhouse opened at the expansive Sunset Beach last year, and boat docks and a protected
swimming area will be added in 2017. Plans also call for more cultural events to serve the increasingly international Eastside and for expanded recreation opportunities, all with the goal of connecting more people to the outdoors. Among the ideas being considered to revitalize Lake Sammamish — and fund additional trail and habitat
improvements — is a partnership with outdoor retailer REI. REI has proposed relocating operations for its national outdoor school to Lake Sammamish and building an outdoor-activities center that would provide administrative offices for its programs as well as space for a ranger station, classroom training and equipSEE PARK, PAGE 3
Skyline grad to appear on Dana Carvey’s show BY CHRISTINA CORRALES-TOY

Everyone has a gift. It just so happens that Issaquah native Justin Rupple’s culminates with Justin Rupple an out-ofbody experience. Rupple makes people laugh and the local comedian does it by becoming someone else. Whether he’s impersonating Vince Vaughn, T.J. Miller or any pick of the characters on “Family Guy,” the 2001 Skyline High School graduate believes imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. “The impression is really just your body’s excuse to not be you and if you can forgive yourself of not having to be you, you’re gold,” he said. The shy kid from Issaquah left his hometown for the bright lights of Hollywood six years ago to pursue a career in comedy. He’s doing pretty well for himself and his May 24 appearance on comedy legend Dana Carvey’s new show “First Impressions” is his latest success. The weekly program on the

USA Network pits America’s best amateur impressionists against each other in a battle of celebrity impression. Carvey serves as the “expertin-residence” and Freddie Prinze Jr. hosts. It’s a lot like “Whose Line is it Anyway” in that the contestants play improv games, while Carvey and special celebrity guests join in on the fun. In Rupple’s episode, Kevin Nealon guest stars. “Your whole life you grew up being the only one who could do impressions and then all the sudden you’re working with the best in the business,” Rupple said of the experience.

recalls finding purpose in Rick Johnson’s class. “I was on TV everyday and that was hook, line and sinker,” Rupple said. “That’s what caused me to go to Washington State, that’s everything.

Rupple moved to California in 2010 to pursue his acting and comedy career. He counts an appear-
ance on CBS’ “Scorpion” among his acting credits and recently wrapped up a Korean film starring Liam Neeson. Rupple is living proof, though, that you can take the boy out of Issaquah, but you can’t take Issaquah out of the boy. He doesn’t go out without a Mariners, Seahawks or Sonics T-shirt and you can often find him sporting a Washington State hat. He visits home multiple times a year and even still has a 425 phone number. “Seattle and Issaquah, it’s part of who I am by definition,” he said “Everything I do and breathe, I live this area.”
State Route 202. “Black Nugget to here took me 20 minutes,” Nashem said. “It should have taken me two.” Workshop attendees were asked to evaluate five different roadway configurations. Some were four lanes, others were five. Some included buffered bike lanes, others did not. “I’m very excited this is going to happen,” Nashem said. “Any of these plans would be better than what we have now.” Sam Park, the city’s
project manager, was on hand to field questions during the workshop. “People think it’s overdue,” Park said. He said landowners likely would not be affected by the update to the roadway’s corridor, but intersection choices “may require right-of-way adjustments.” Roundabouts, he said, require more room than traditional traffic signals. Two more community meetings are planned before a design is finalized.

Rupple met his future wife Katy Jensen, an Issaquah High School graduate, at the club. “She was on one side of the Issaquah Cemetery, I was on the other,” he said. “We grew up about 100 yards away from each other and never knew it.”

ment rental. In a 20-page statement of “partnership opportunities” that outlines its experience with similar ventures in other areas of the country, the co-op also proposes an outdoor stage or pavilion for movies and concerts, and an array of new programs including cycling, hiking, navigation, photography and paddle sports. “Cultivating relationships to increase engagement, participant growth and program offerings in outdoor recreation is what we do best,” said REI officials, in a November response to the state parks system’s call for redevelopment proposals at Lake Sammamish. The proposal notes that REI Outdoor School operates in more than 300 national, state and local parks around the country, including in 10 Washington state parks. Parks officials, stung by public backlash concerning other proposed commercial partnerships in state parks, including a resort near a wildlife corridor at Snoqualmie Pass, say they have not made any decisions about REI’s involvement at Lake Sammamish. “We haven’t said yes to all those plans,” said Peter Herzog, assistant director for development for Washington State Parks. “REI and Parks

are moving ahead very slowly and judiciously.” He said REI will offer some classes this summer and Parks will continue discussions with the company. The partnership could give Parks a percentage of REI’s program-andrental revenue, and Herzog added that a building could be jointly financed. No details have been negotiated, he said. “At no time do we want it (the proposed activities) to overshadow the main purpose of the park, which is to engage urban populations in the natural world,” Herzog said.
Too commercial? While many park supporters welcome the involvement of REI, with its huge network of members and its potential to invest significant money and time, others are concerned about the possible commercialization and the potential to squeeze out a local kayak rental and instruction business that’s operated on the lake for 19 years. “The primary purpose of Washington State Parks is not to generate income, but to set aside land and allow people to experience the natural biodiversity. When large corporations are allowed to take over, the public loses,” said John LaMunyon, lead pastor of the Sammamish Hills Lutheran Church and a former instructor for Issaquah Paddle Sports

mapped park trails and more activities to introduce visitors to native plants, salmon migration and the history of native tribes in the area. Birders, boaters and fly fishermen all want more access to the park, she said. Large groups of multigenerational East Indian and Persian families hold celebrations there. Last summer, 800 children completed junior ranger programs. Some big events are also planned, including a national beach volleyball tournament June 2 to 5. “We say yes to all those things,” Farness said.
Kayakers’ ‘dream job’ may end She said the next step is an alliance that can attract new investments to help accelerate the long-term plans. “REI is an obvious partner to build outdoor enthusiasts,” Farness said. State parks officials in April renewed a three-year contract with Issaquah Paddle Sports to continue its current boat rental and to operate a snack bar in the new bathhouse on Sunset Beach. But Parks’ intention is to develop a transition plan under which REI would take over paddle sport rentals and lessons, said State Parks Assistant Director Herzog. That’s not the outcome the local owners want. Barb Gronseth, who with her husband George
Name: 16107/ Pearson Law Firm, The Width: 19p6.6 Depth: 4 in On Page: 3 Request Page: 0 Type: Display Color: Black
rents kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and paddle boats on the smaller Tibbetts Beach at Lake Sammamish, and teaches sea kayaking, said they’re not ready to retire. “It’s a dream job,” said Gronseth, an early graduate of the National Outdoor Leadership School. She and others familiar with the business said George is one of the region’s most respected instructors, with students who come from around the world. “We’d like to continue doing our rental business here,” she said on a recent sunny morning in the park. There aren’t any signs on the beach for the company, just a couple dozen upturned plastic kayaks on the sand. Gronseth doesn’t want to bad-mouth REI. One of her first jobs out of college was at the co-op, and she said it was one of the best places for women to work in the outdoor world and gain experience in business and management. And she supports the state’s vision of a more visited, active park. “Without the state, there wouldn’t be this great access to the lake. It would all be private,” she said. Issaquah City Council President Stacy Goodman used to spend sunny summers at Lake Sammamish with her young family when they moved to the area 27 years ago. In the intervening decades, she said, the park “didn’t appear to be valued” as

and Kayak Academy, the local park-rental business. Other park advocates welcome REI’s energy and experience. They say Lake Sammamish is an urban park, surrounded by cities, and can offer activities and programs that might not be appropriate in a more pristine wilderness park. “This isn’t the backside of Mount Rainier,” said Jim Mackey, a boater who lives on the lake and is a member of Friends of Lake Sammamish State Park, founded in 2013. Mackey contrasts Sammamish with King County’s Marymoor Park in Redmond, at the opposite end of the lake, with its dog park, velodrome, radiocontrolled plane area, outdoor movies and concerts, and Cirque du Soleil. “Most of the time it (Lake Sammamish State Park) looks abandoned. I don’t think most people in Bellevue even know where the lake is,” Mackey said. At the Friends’ offices, adjacent to the parkranger headquarters, Executive Director Janet Farness points to drawings for a $1 million allabilities playground the state hopes to build this summer. Friends raised $250,000 toward the project, which will feature a 9-foot blue heron water-spray feature, a zip-line and a climb-onand-through re-creation of an old Cascades mine. The organization wants to add interpretive signage to the poorly

an urban refuge and playground, and fewer of her acquaintances made their way there. Issaquah annexed the park into the city last year, in part, she said, to add city resources to the state’s revitalization efforts. She said there’s plenty of room in the park for multiple partnerships. An agreement with REI, she said, “shouldn’t be to the exclusion of other people and entities. I think we’ve told that to the state.” Lynn Thompson: lthompson@seattletimes.com or 206-464-8305. On Twitter @lthompsontimes

Carl Schwartz recently put the spotlight on Rep. Dave Reichert for voting down a rule which would have designated financial advisers for pension and retirement plans as “fiduciaries.” Due to the vote, they are not covered by current law designed to protect consumers against bad retirement investment advice. This type of fiduciary responsibility to the client should be the bedrock of retirement plans. However, the advisor is free to steer the client into investments that maximize their own fees and income as opposed to the retiree’s investments. You need to understand how Congress, which writes the laws, functions. Simply put, the majority is beholden to Wall Street. In addition, many believe in a faux ‘free market’ where corporations are able to maximize their profits at the expense of everyone else, including anyone who is building a retirement nest egg. They have no interest in helping the retiree. This same Congress would privatize Social Security, putting trillions of dollars into the hands of profit-driven Wall Street firms at the expense of the elderly and disabled. This same Congress believes that Wall Street regulations are holding back the economy in spite of the recent massive economic crash lead by risky investment strategies foisted upon unsuspecting investors. So of course, Dave Reichert, as part of this majority, is going to vote in favor of investment firms over the people Congress should be protecting. This should come as no great surprise. Wall Street has enormous financial and policy clout over our Congress and this type of ‘rule by oligarchy’ is

historically a natural outcome of most economic and political systems. The only way to reverse the financial bleeding of America by business interests is to vote for politicians who will put people first and to eliminate big money in politics. In our district, Dave Reichert must go. Until we do this, the rules will continue to be written in favor of the oligarchy and against the best interest of the rest of us. The bleeding will continue.

ing more than a nouveau riche joke if it stands by silently while a cultural jewel of this level vanishes into history. Julius Boehm, beloved Issaquah resident and founder of iconic Boehm’s Candies, would be frantic if he were alive to witness this threat to a building he loved. Still surviving among his personal papers is a cherished color booklet produced at the time the chapel was built, along with a Christmas card from the Sisters of Providence to him ... featuring a photo of the chapel. The threat to important midcentury buildings is rampaging across our country. Once gone, they are lost forever, to be mourned by our children and grandchildren, who will find themselves cheated out of their heritage. This is not about religious iconography or sectarianism. This is a matter of art, architecture and the preservation of cultural treasures, a value that should transcend the whims of the marketplace, in order to preserve the irreplaceable for the long-term benefit of our entire community.

Bukhara Bar and Grill Indian cuisine is like a 75-carat diamond in the world’s flavored cuisine ring. Indian spices attracted humans from all over the world, and today Bukhara brings Indian spices and real Indian
taste to you. They serve a large variety of dishes, appetizers, snacks, side dishes and desserts to meet the taste of spice lovers, savory and sweet alike. Some say that Indian cuisine is almost as diverse as European cuisine because of the four main different regional styles: North Indian cuisine (the regions of Benaras, Kashmir, Mughlai, Punjab and Rajasthan); South Indian cuisine (the regions of Andhra Pradesh, Kannada, Kerala and Tamil Nadu); East Indian cuisine (the regions of Assam and Bengal) and Western cuisine from Gujrat Maharashtra and Goa. The northern part of India is mostly rural, although it contains large cities such as Delhi and Calcutta. It’s cuisine is mostly agricultural, and wheat is the primary constituent of this region’s dishes. The Southern region, however, tends to be more exotic and spicier in their dishes, and rice is the constant ingredient in the dishes. To give taste to its dishes, North Indians
use onion and coriander (cilantro) while Southerners use a coconut base for their dishes.
Flat Iron Grill
Tucked away in the heart of Historic Gilman Village in downtown Issaquah you will find Flat Iron Grill. It is owner Sean Quinn’s not-so-traditional take on a steak and seafood grill with the addition of some South American twists. You will not find the classic steak sauce of America but chimichurri, the traditional condiment found in Argentina. You will also find great combinations of flavors in every dish from the quinoa salad to the Flat Iron steak to the seafood dishes. The kitchen crew work
hard to put out amazing dishes, utilizing as much regional and organic product as they can while using the latest in modern cooking technology. The dining area is a comfortable industrial-rustic room featuring classic and modern guitar music, red ceilings, warm colored walls and spattering of metal work from Gagnon Welding, giving it a not-at-all pretentious but a welcoming ambiance that makes you wanting to come back. All throughout the space you will find beautiful black and white photographs of local Washington destinations taken by local artists. With more than 25 years in the restaurant business, Sean worked as the Executive Chef at Daniels Broiler in Bellevue and El Gaucho in Tacoma. In 2004, he helped create Asado – an Argentine steakhouse voted “Best New Restaurant” by The Tacoma News Tribune. Sean and wife Barb, long time Snoqualmie residents, have committed to providing a quality, affordable restaurant close to home and
give their guests a great dining experience without having to travel to Bellevue or Seattle.

The authentic menu of Hawaiian and Japanese foods includes Pupus, Robata, Dinner Plates and House Specials. For those with a big appetite, try the ‘Ohana Bento Boxes, Loco Moco, the Top Sirloin Steak Teriyaki, or the Babyback Ribs. For a lighter appetite, order Ahi Sashimi, Gyoza Yaki, Seasonal Robata, or Adobo. If you’re a sashimi or nigiri lover, chow down on Maguro, Ika, Tobiko, Hamachi, or Unagi. Sushi favorites include Chizuko, Negi Hamachi, Dragon Rolls, or California Rolls.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Sponsored Story
WWhen her daughter, Mica, turned two, Nazarena Deschiave read how York University professor and psychologist, Ellen Bialystok, found that students who study foreign languages tend to score better on standardized tests than their monolingual peers, particularly in the categories of math, reading, and vocabulary. She also found a study, conducted around a similar time, by Researchers from University College London that showed how learning other languages altered grey matter – the area of the brain which processes information – in the same way exercise builds muscles.
Like most parents, she hoped to give her daughter the best opportunities in life by providing her with the best education possible, and that meant an education
which included the study of multiple languages. Okay, her daughter was only two, but, after learning to speak and write English as an adult, she also knew that learning a second language as a child was not only easier, but created pathways in the brain that – as shown in the pre-mentioned studies – would give Mica greater educational capacity in the long life ahead of her. Being a former preschool teacher, Deschiave knew a thing or two about early learning programs. She enrolled Mica in a couple different bilingual preschools, and although they were good schools, none quite met her standards for the best quality education. And this lacking was the inspiration for the founding of Kinder Mundo in April of 2009.
“I wanted my child to be educated in an environment that goes beyond learning from a curriculum,” Deschiave explained, “one that understands my individual child, a place to help her grow happily and healthily by accommodating her based on her individual needs.” Kinder Mundo not only offers parents individual care in their education but also offers bilingual education. “My partner, Mariella Pacheco, and our team understand that this is an investment for life. We see ourselves as more than just teachers,” Deschiave described, “this is more than a job. We try to understand our families and what is going on in the child’s life. With that knowledge we cater our interactions with that child and direct their
educational needs on a daily basis.” Longtime client Wendy Caamano supports these claims, “I have been taking my first girl here since she was about one month and now my second goes also. They love going to Kinder Mundo and feel like it is a second home. Everyone that works there knows
my kids so well and always make them feel welcomed, loved and special.” “Teaching with passion and caring with love is what you’ll find with us,” Deschiave said. “Serving parents with newborns to preschoolers, children have the opportunity to thrive and grow in a rich, loving environment,” she adds.
Deschiave also encourages her students to help each other in many ways. “The big kids will often visit the younger kids to help feeding, serving snacks, or with telling a story,” she described, “This not only gives children life skills, but also teaches them compassion and responsibility. They help each other like a big family.”

Spartans tennis team completes historic season Skyline finishes season unbeaten BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com
For the better part of 16 seasons at the helm of the Skyline girls tennis program, Bettina Gehle has witnessed the Newport Knights dominate conference competition. That changed, at least temporarily, on Tuesday as Skyline completed an unbeaten season in Class 4A KingCo Conference matches with a 7-0 sweep of the Issaquah Eagles in Sammamish. “It’s the second time in 16 years for me that we’re getting a championship,” Gehle said, “so it’s something very, very special.” The turning point for this year’s squad was obvious, said
freshman Dora Varsa, a key newcomer who plays club tennis during the offseason. “Ever since we beat Newport, which is our main rival … we’ve had a really big drive to get this KingCo title,” Varsa said. A 4-3 win over Newport on April 21 gave the Spartans confidence to accomplish the task. They were rarely challenged, beating four of their eight opponents by 7-0 scores. “This year, our goal was really to get first place in KingCo because the last couple years we’ve gotten second,” said senior captain Julia Lioubarski. “…We’re really happy that we’re able to accomplish our goal.” Skyline will host the conference tournament from Monday through Wednesday next week and hopes to send multiple qualifiers to the 4A state championships, May 27-28 in Richland. Newport – which won state
titles in 2010 and 2015 – has long been the standard-bearer for KingCo teams, but Skyline may have supplanted them for one season, at least. “I think that we really worked hard and we built up this program,” Gehle said. “We worked a lot on match strategies and confidence, and I believe this team really bought into that. “I think also that Newport maybe was not as strong as they’re used to. But that means nothing, so we took the opportunity and we really showed that we can actually win against them.” Skyline’s regular-season finale against Issaquah went smoothly as the Spartans won all seven matches in straight sets. Lioubarski defeated fellow senior Ellen MacNary at No. 1 singles (6-0, 6-2) and Varsa, using a powerful jump serve, took SEE TENNIS, PAGE 11

TaylorWright, Marcus McCannel lead Crusaders to Metro crown Baseball: Seattle Prep 2, Eastside Catholic 8 BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com
Four years to the day after his Eastside Catholic baseball program first won a Class 3A Metro League championship, history repeated itself for coach Kyle Larsen. The Crusaders got big
performances from junior catcher Marcus McCannel and senior outfielder Taylor Wright, pulling away late for an 8-2 win over the Seattle Prep Panthers in the Metro title game on Thursday at Steve Cox Memorial Park in Seattle. “I can’t even explain to you how great I feel right now,” said Wright, who reached base in all four of his plate appearances, including three doubles.
“This was our first goal for the season and we accomplished it in good fashion. It wasn’t a one-run game like the last few games have been. We dominated them.” EC (19-4) has an 11-game winning streak dating to April 11 and is District 2’s top seed to next weekend’s 3A state playoffs. Larsen thinks they’ll be rewarded and play close to home at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue, though the

bracket won’t be finalized until Sunday. “The year we went to the state championship (2012), that’s where we started,” Larsen said. The Crusaders needed some offensive fireworks and solid relief pitching to finish off upstart Seattle Prep (17-9), which won three straight elimination games and advanced to the final with an upset of Lakeside.
The Panthers scored twice in the fifth to tie the game, 2-2, as John Ostrander delivered an RBI double and Aaron Kim coaxed a bases-loaded walk from reliever Jackson Bandow. In the bottom of the fifth, Wright led off with a walk but two outs threatened to strand him. Then McCannel stepped to the plate. “I was talking to Taylor SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 11

Wright before that and I was saying I just need to simplify my swing and get my pitches,” McCannel said. He drilled a high fastball on the inner half of the plate over the leftfield fence, giving EC a 4-2 lead and bringing the fans in orange and blue to their feet. It was the first homer of McCannel’s highschool career. “What he did is just unbelievable – such a lift for the team,” Larsen remarked. “He’s been waiting for that all year.” The Crusaders removed all doubt about the final result with a four-run sixth against Prep relievers Connor Kardokus and Jack Price. Wright had the key blow, an oppositefield double into the leftfield corner that cleared the bases. “My mindset was just drive the ball – wherever it was on the plate, just drive it,” said Wright, who will play collegiately at Oregon State. Wright has been a middle-of-the-order hitter for much of his EC career, but Larsen moved him to the leadoff spot midway through this season because he wasn’t seeing enough good pitches. Wright went on a tear after that and finished the regular season with a .403 batting average, 10 doubles and 15 RBI.
“He’s making it look so easy right now,” Larsen said. McCannel had four RBI on the night, putting the Crusaders ahead in the third with a two-run single to left field off Ostrander. EC starter Cole Galvagno struggled with his command, walking six batters and hitting another, but worked out of jams until the fifth. He allowed two hits and struck out five. Fellow junior Bandow has been the team’s closer for much of the season and he finished all three Metro tournament games. He struck out the side in the seventh, with John Jackman waving at a high fastball for the final out that set off a raucous celebration. “He just throws hard,” McCannel said of Bandow. “He threw it right past the guys. They weren’t ready for him. He’s just a bulldog out there.” The Crusaders are making their second straight trip to state and will look to avenge last year’s opening-round loss to Central Kitsap. “We have a bunch of new faces this year and no one really knew what to expect of these guys,” Larsen said. “I told them … you guys are a talented group and if you guys really put it together you can go do big things.” “The goal is definitely to win a state championship now,” Wright added.

Lioubarski, who moved back to singles play this season after teaming with Jasmine Ye for topeight finishes at the last two state tournaments, has been the glue to hold the Spartans together. “She’s an incredibly talented player and a very nice captain, too,” Gehle said. The Spartans’ varsity lineup is primarily constructed with freshmen and sophomores, so they could be the KingCo frontrunners for the foreseeable future. Lioubarski said being their captain hasn’t been much of a challenge. “They’re all really easy-going, and it’s easy to lead and be a leader with them because they’ve all become my friends,” she said.
