When Mary Moore heard the city was considering demolishing Sammamish’s
115-year-old Reard-Freed House and using its parts for park benches, she knew something had to be done.
“� at kind of moved a lot of people to get involved,” said Moore, who more than two years ago took the lead on a project to save the historic house.
Early Sunday morning, all the hard work of Moore and several other Sammamish Heritage Society members paid o� when the house arrived at its permanent location at the new Southeast Eighth Street Park — part of a 51-acre land donation made by Sammamish resident Mary Pigott.
“� ere was a big sense of relief knowing it was going to its � nal resting place,” said Moore, who was up at 3 a.m. with several others to watch a large truck move the house approximately a mile from its old location on 212th Avenue Southeast.
During the past two-plus years, the Sam-mamish Heritage Society raised more than $80,000 from grants and various fundraisers to relocate and preserve the house.
Originally built in 1890 by Jacob D. Reard, the home was eventually sold to Oscar Freed in 1930.
In 2010, the Reard-Freed House was placed on the Washington Trust for Historic Pres-
ervation’s List of the top most endangered historic sites. In 2011, the City of Sammamish and the King County Landmark Commission designated the Jacob and Emma Reard House the � rst historic landmark in the City of Sam-mamish. � e house is also notable for its

� e days of plastic bags are numbered in Issaquah.
In a 5-2 vote Monday, City Council decided to ban plastic shopping bags and impose a 5 cent fee on paper, beginning March 2013.
� e law is similar to Seattle’s with a few exceptions, primar-ily it allows organizations, such as Salmon Days, to apply for exemptions.
“� is is not Seattle’s bill. � is is not anyone else’s bill. � is is Issaquah’s bill,” said Issaquah Council President Tola Marts.
Championed by Coun-cilmember Mark Mullet, the bill was � rst introduced in January. He believed similar bans proved this one would work.
Future generations will have to deal with the plastic bag waste we create today, he said, politicians need to speak for them. � e same goes for ma-rine wildlife, because they can’t speak for themselves.
Dissenters to the bill weren’t convinced that it was the best way to approach the plastic bag problem. Councilmem-ber Joshua Schaer hoped to impose a fee on the bags in-stead, and counterpart Eileen Barber preferred that the city

A dancer since age four, Vidyalakshmi Vinod knew when she came from India to the United States in 2002 that she wanted to bring her passion to the Eastside.
Ten years later, that pas-sion, along with her dance school, have only grown.
A� er beginning with only a few students, the popularity of Nritya-laya School of Dance has exploded with the in� ux of Indian immigrants in recent years and now has around 60 students, ranging from age seven to adult.
� e focus of the school is cultural appreciation for a generation of Indian students with only a � eeting connection to the culture and native land of their parents.
“Everything is about learning and culture,” Vinod said. “Down to the dress we wear and the con-cepts we take on.”
Aside from an opportu-
nity to take part in a timeless and integral part of Indian culture, Nrityalaya students gain a connection to the Indian community at-large.
� e group will perform 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., June 9 in the theater at Lake Washington High School with a show entitled, ““Dharmo Rak-shathi Rakshithaha,” which translates to “Righteousness protects those who protect it.”

Rob Mckenna speaks at Issaquah High School. CELESTE GRACEY, ISSAQUAH & SAMMAMISH REPORTER
BY CELESTE [email protected]
Gubernatorial candidate Rob McKenna swung by Issaquah High School’s AP government and politics class Friday to take ques-tions from the many soon-to-be voters.
� e intimate setting al-lowed students to present a healthy banter of questions for the attorney general on topics that ranged from healthcare to gay marriage.
“He’s the real deal,” said senior Patrick Violette, who asked what McKenna would do with healthcare,
if elected. “It’s great that he came down.”
For debate student Karthik Palaniappan, it was a chance to engage a real politician on issues he’s been debating with peers all year.
“It was interesting arguing with someone who really knows what they’re talking about,” he said. “When you get to see the candidates, it’s a whole lot more personal.”
� e class has had a few other political visitors, in-cluding Congressman Dave Reichert.

Washington state Sen. Cheryl P� ug stirred up conten-tion in the Republican party a� er she accepted a lucra-tive appointment from Governor Christine Gregoire the Monday a� er � lings closed for her seat.
� e last minute announcement ensured a strong Republican candidate wouldn’t challenge a well-known Issaquah businessman and city councilmember, Mark Mullet.
“We got P� ug-ed,” said Kirby Wilbur, chair of the Washington Republicans, who hopes to coin the new word among Olympia politicians. “I think it’s deliberate. It was irresponsible at best and unconscionable at worst.”
P� ug, however, insisted that the timing wasn’t inten-tional on her part or the governor’s, she said. “� ere is no arguing with people who just want to hate.”
She added that it would be better if the senate is more evenly split, anyway, because some of the best legislation happens when politicians have to cross party lines.
She was among the Senate Republicans that formed a bipartisan coalition for the budget process this year. She also crossed the line to vote for the contentious gay mar-riage bill, something she’s wanted for a few years.
Wilbur, however, said the governor secured her vote with promise of the position, a $92,500-a-year spot on the Growth Management Hearings Board.
A single mother and recent law graduate, P� ug was enticed by the higher pay and regular schedule, she said. She’s served on the senate for 14 years, earning only a fraction of her new salary.
At the end of the appointment term, she’ll also have been with the state long enough to start collecting a pen-sion, a � gure based on her most recent salary.
For P� ug, it was not only a
chance to grow her career, but to continue working on issues important to her region.
Republican Brad To� from Snoqualmie will be facing Councilmember Mullet, a Democrat. To� is not as strong as P� ug, but Wilbur thinks Republicans could still main-tain the seat.
Mullet is much more liberal than he’s portrayed himself so far, he said. “By time we get through with Mr. Mullet, I think we’ll have good chance.”

For any generation regardless of culture, there are societal bonds that link otherwise disconnected individuals. From wars and tragedy to entertain-
ment and politics, members of the same generation are tied together with the thread of a shared perspective on the experiences that de� ne them.
But in the years that separate mother from daughter, a space where handed-down traditions are abandoned
and tales from elders forgotten, there exists chasms of misunderstanding.
In this case, the gap between the generations is half a world wide.
Vineeta Parupudi and Nikhila Sridhar, ages 14 and 15 and students at Kirkland’s International Com-munity School, know their own upbringing on the Eastside can never o� er a complete picture of the Indian heritage their parents know. Instead they settle for snippets of a
world they have never known; evenings spent inside Veda Temple in Redmond, where the strip mall exte-rior does nothing to alter the reverence and cultural richness within.
Along with a dozen others, the two are there as part of Nrityalaya Dance school, practicing for an upcom-ing performance in Kirkland that will showcase hours of work and more importantly, the cultural connection they so desperately crave.
“My mom was a dancer in India,” Parupudi said. “Dancing makes me feel like I’m connecting to India and the culture.”
While their 21st Century Western childhoods can approximate the experiences of past generations to only a degree, Nrityalaya and the chance to connect with the Indian community at-large certainly helps.
“I love the cultural immersion,” said Sahana Cidam-bi, also a 15-year-old and a student at Redmond High School. “I really value and take pride in the culture and the chance to be part of it.”
� e performance is the culmination of months of rehearsal and another step in the process of becom-ing a guru of the discipline, should they choose such a path. While using dance to bridge the generational and cultural gaps for local Indian women is the principle focus, work ethic and collective consciousness also take center stage and connect the focal points of the school with common American ideals.
“It’s just a di� erent experience,” Sridhar said. “Danc-ing makes the connection more real for us. It’s more than just the stories.”
I got into a digital conversation with a co-worker about how bad gun vio-lence seems to have gotten just across
the bridge on the morning of May 30.
� e brief three-sentence conversa-tion took place just a� er she saw a tweet that there was another shooting in Seattle. � at same friend sent me another message, something to the e� ect of: “It was at Cafe Racer in
Seattle, gunman le� on foot and still at large.”
My heart sank to the � oor. � e � rst thing that popped into my head was that my sister and her family live just blocks from Cafe Racer. I know Cafe Racer because my band played there in April. Getting the paper out became secondary to getting ahold of my sister. I called her house with no answer. I called her cell with no answer. I called my brother-in-law at work and he found out she was at the U-Village but didn’t talk to her. My panic was replaced with new concerns as I saw a tweet saying that my nephew’s school
was in lockdown because of the shoot-ing.
Just a� er sending the � nal page of the paper to press my sister called me back wanting to know if lockdown meant she could go pick up my nephew from school. I was just relieved to hear her voice because you always think the worst, no matter how unlikely.
Next came news of another shooting in downtown Seattle, just blocks from where my brother-in-law works. � at shooting would later hit even closer to home as the victim was Gloria Leoni-das of Bellevue, a long-time Evergreen Health Foundation board member.
To make things even more unnerv-ing for my sister and me, the gunman committed suicide just a few miles from where I grew up in West Seattle.
Like most people, I was glued to the radio, TV and internet during the rest of the day.
I had met quite a few of the regulars at Cafe Racer when my band played there. Cafe Racer was an unusual place to play. Very small, very intimate and inviting. � ere was a gigantic picture of Jesus made from marshmallow Peeps. Quite a few paintings on black velvet and a bejeweled motor scooter helped to make up Seattle’s only “Bad Art Gallery.”
A� er we played we hung out outside to give room to those wanting to see the last band of the night. � e kitchen had closed and the cook came out to have a cigarette. He and a bunch of my friends struck up a conversation about the music, the venue and various other things. It turns out that he was one of the victims of the horri� c shooting on May 30 and will hopefully survive. It was sad to think that kind, intelligent man was in the hospital � ghting for his life.
� ere is something wrong with our society when someone with mental health and anger management issues is able to obtain a concealed weapon’s permit. � ree di� erent news sources quoted the murderer’s family members saying they were afraid something like this would happen.
� e inevitable arguments have ensued over gun rights and laws. � ere has even been some commentary about government cuts to mental health resources. But in reality this type of incident is hard to predict, hard to prevent, it can happen anywhere and a� ects us all.

By time Greg Barton sprinted across the street, � ames had � lled his neighbor’s garage and were skipping across the roof ’s cedar shingles.
He slid open the back door, which was hot to the touch, and black smoke poured out.
He knew his elderly neighbor was inside the Sahalee home, breathing in the toxins. He couldn’t wait for � re� ghters.
Holding his shirt up to his face, he crawled into the black abyss. Windows shattered and beams cracked from the heat. Smoke blocked out the light, and so he could only feel for his neighbor as he bumped around furniture.
Slipping out of the house for a breath of air, he panicked that he was too late. He took a deep breath and entered the home a second time.
� is time his neighbor’s faint voice was calling for help in the kitchen. � e man was barely conscious. Barton scooped him up and staggered to the backdoor.
Doctors had never seen someone with so much smoke inhalation. A few minutes later might have been too much.
Barton was honored last week by Eastside Fire and Res-cue for his sel� ess act of bravery, for being a “true Ameri-can hero.” He was named among about 20 other people in Issaquah May 31 for being the best kind of neighbor, the kind that gives back.
While Barton’s heroism earned a standing ovation, many of the awards given at the dinner came with deep gratitude.
Barbara de Michelle, who is heavily involved with the Issaquah Community Network and youth issues, was hon-
ored with two of the most notable awards. � e city’s Hall of Fame award and the Golden Apple Award, presented by the Issaquah School’s Foundation.
She was credited for her work introducing the Healthy Youth Survey to the Issaquah School District, and hosting discussions around the data. She also chairs the Together Center in Redmond, which is actively working to establish a human services campus in Issaquah.
About 10 organizations gave the awards and the cham-ber named its new king and queen of Issaquah, Darrin Helfrecht from the Principal Financial Group and Robyn Barfoot of the Cougar Mountain Zoo.

Her in� uence did help give small businesses, those under 7,500 square � ., an additional year to implement the
change.� e council debated the bill for a couple months, before
taking the � nal vote. � e hope was to get more local input.Counting comments from residents, Stacy Goodman
said about 60 percent of the locals that contacted her ap-proved of the ban, which she called strong local support compared to city outsiders that mostly opposed the ban.
Most of the council members agreed with the Issaquah Environmental Council, which said the law doesn’t go far enough in banning plastics.
However, most also agreed with Goodman, who said “it’s a good place to start.”

Score a point for convenience, but dock one for prices.
At least that seemed to be the early consensus for shoppers in Issaquah on June 1, just hours a� er Washington state took a step back into the world of privatized liquor sales.
“I think it will take a while for competition and prices to level out, but I do like the convenience,” said Is-saquah resident Patti Anderson as she glanced over the new 40-foot aisle at the Fred Meyer on Eastlake Samma-mish Parkway.
With the elimination of state-run stores, prices might initially look ap-pealing to consumers, but shoppers need to remember each item will face Washington’s 20.5 percent liquor sales tax and a $3.77 per-liter tax.
� at means a 750-milliliter bottle of Captain Morgan rum at Fred Meyer will cost about $20.90 a� er taxes, compared to the previous cost of $19.95 at a liquor store.
Other items, however, end up less than they would have at a state-run store. For instance, a 750-milliliter bottle of Ketel One vodka priced at $19.59 would cost about $26.40 a� er taxes, approximately 50 cents less than before.
Sammamish resident Linda Hackett said she noticed that some items were cheaper and others were more expensive — something shoppers will likely keep a close eye on in the coming months. But like most, it is the convenience that she appreciates the most.
“I don’t buy a lot of hard alcohol, but it’s just like on the occasion you do, it’s 8:02 on a Saturday night and the liquor store is closed,” Hackett
said. “It’s kind of nice to have an alter-native when you want to run out and grab something.”
Others, like Konin Airth, say the state’s new liquor situation could prevent him from purchasing liquor in the future.
“It’s bad thing [the state] lost a lot of jobs, but that’s money they’re saving, plus the new taxes,” he said. “� ey’re kind of making money on both ends. To me, I don’t like it, it’s too expensive.”
Pete Laudadio, the store director at the Issaquah Fred Meyer, said his store’s new liquor aisle was constantly abuzz Friday — with many of the people using calculators.
“Obviously we have had lots of cus-tomers looking and making purchases this morning,” he said, pointing down
a crowded aisle. “We’re very pleased with what we’ve seen so far.”
� e Fred Meyer store had 450 dif-ferent types of alcohol, ranging from premium to mainstream liquors. In order to prevent the� , each item is secured with a bottle lock and anti-the� devices that will trigger an alarm if not deactivated.
Only stores that are 10,000 square-feet and above, or former liquor stores that were sold to private bidders, can sell liquor.
� ere are approximately 1,640 re-tailers who have applied to sell liquor in Washington, up from roughly 350 state-owned or state-contracted liquor stores under the old system.
“It will be an interesting journey,” Anderson said.

Eastside Domestic Violence Program changes name to LifeWire
Eastside Domestic Violence Program (EDVP) is changing its name to LifeWire.
“We’ve evolved over the years and wanted a new name to re� ect who we are now,” said Barbara Lang-don, LifeWire executive director. “We’re not just on the Eastside. We provide comprehensive services and programs all around the community, and LifeWire is like a ‘lifeline’ for a lot of people who are in an abusive relationship.”
LifeWire provides a 24-hour crisis line, shelters that provide safe housing, advocacy services, groups for children and teens, a Latina outreach program, counseling, and women’s support groups.
Last year, the organization answered nearly 11,000 cri-sis line calls and worked with almost 5,200 local victims of domestic violence. Since 1982, LifeWire has served more than 115,000 victims and their children, helping them escape from abusive homes and relationships.
More information about LifeWife is available at www.lifewire.org or by contacting Becker at [email protected] or 425-562-8840, ext. 253.

“� is is a wonderful building,” said Ben Yazici, city manager. “I know there were times over the past 10 years when its fate was in doubt, but thanks to the deter-mined fundraising and hard work of the Heritage Society, the Reard-Freed House will provide our new park with a terri� c touch of Sammamish history.”
� e house is slated to be placed into its new foundation later this month. From there, the Heritage Society will refurbish
both the exterior and interior with the goal of restoring the house to its original state. � e home is now located on a 20-acre portion of the Pigott land donation that is set to be opened in three to � ve years.
� ere are talks that the house could eventually serve as a meeting hall or serve other community needs.
A� er more than a decade of discus-sions as to whether the historic house would survive, Moore is just glad to know it will now be available for genera-tions to come.
“We’re happy to see that there was suc-cess at the end of it,” she said.

Eastside Fire & Rescue Chief Lee Soptich, third from the left, was named chief of the year from the Washington Fire Chiefs. contributed
Eastside Fire and Rescue Chief Lee Soptich was honored as the chief of the year by the Washington Fire Chiefs.
His experience in firefighting stretches back to 37 years ago, when he was a volunteer fire-fighter in Selah.
For two years he served as the president of the King County Fire Chiefs association. He was recognized for developing a good working relationship with King County and improving communication with counterparts in Pierce and Snohomish County.
Fire chief of the year Electricity bills for Puget Sound Energy residential customers
will increase by 3.2 percent while natural gas bills will rise by 1.3 percent as a result of action taken by state regulators today. New rates went into effect May 14.
The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission is al-lowing PSE to raise electric rates by $63.3 million a year and $13.4 million for natural gas rates. That’s less than the $161 million and $32 million, respectively, the utility originally requested last June. The last PSE rate increase approved by the commission was two years ago.
The average PSE residential electric customer using 1,000 kilo-watt hours-per-month will see their electric bill increase by $3.30. The typical natural gas customer using 68 therms a month would pay $1.08 more.

Faced with the prospects of creating a product and taking it to market for their business class, University
of Washington seniors Josh Brewer and Gil Pennington, an Issaquah graduate, knew they wanted to do something unique. � ey did that and more when they created the Swagga Suit.
An adult sized, purple one-piece suit with the University of Washing-ton logo embroidered on the front, the Swagga Suit went viral on the internet a� er photos of former UW basketball and current NBA player
Jon Brockman were posted to Facebook, spawning sto-ries and links across national media outlets.
Q When your professor gave the assignment, did you both immediately look at each other and know you
wanted to create a giant purple suit?
A Gillian Pennington: It was an evolution of ideas. I threw out the idea of doing UW school gear, totally
unrelated to the suit, we were thinking T-shirts and hats. Josh threw out the idea of wouldn’t it be cool if we had these thermal long johns.
Q What was the response from your partners in the class and peers?
AIt isn’t the most practical thing, obviously. We thought maybe we should just do T-shirts and everyone in
our class said to stay with this. We thought it was too risky and our professor told us that was the whole point of the project and the class.
QHow about the reaction from other students and fans at sporting events?
A Most of the reaction we’ve experienced in person has been really positive, even when our friends tease us or
tell us they don’t want to hear about it again. We wear them around campus and people always know it’s the Swagga Suit. At sporting events people always ask where we got it and say they want to buy one. I think everything we’ve experienced has been really positive. Even if they think it’s a little ridiculous, people get that it is supposed to be fun and for sporting events.
Q� e photos of Washington alum and NBA player Jon Brockman were what kind of blew this thing up on
the internet. Was it tough getting Brockman on board?
A My neighbor is good friends with Jon Brockman and so I asked him if maybe he would be up for
trying out the suit and maybe shooting some photos. He said Brockman was a really fun guy and he was totally up for it. We met before a workout when he was on
campus and shot the pictures. He was really cool about it and we all had a great time with it.
Q Have you been surprised by the amount of attention this has gotten, reaching national media?
AIt was de� nitely a shock. We knew it had potential to take o� . We did the photos with Brockman and put
them on our Facebook page and then I get an email from Josh with a Yahoo! link. I never thought we would get that kind of national media attention.
Q So what is the future of the Swagga Suit?
A We’re just really excited with all the opportuni-ties, the growth and potential. We’re focusing on
the rebranding because we don’t want to corner ourselves just in athletic gear or just Washington apparel. Also, people don’t necessarily think of clothing when they hear “swag”, but by keeping the name “Swagga Suit,” we think it retains some of that ability to grab attention. We want to make it accessible for any school or any state around the nation. We’re hoping to be around some of the other Pac-12 schools in the fall and we’re working our hardest to get there.
� e Reporter’s Josh Suman sat down with Issaquah graduate and UW student GILLIAN PENNINGTON to discuss a product her and a classmate created, called the Swagga Suit.

The following information was compiled from City of Sammamish police reports:
A Sammamish woman called police May 29 after an ice cream man alleg-edly grabbed her arm and requested she give him a smiling Buddah statue on
her front porch in the 1600 block of 233 Place North-east.
The woman told the man it was not for sale.
He responded by asking her if she knew who Allah was and said he was the creator of all things.
The woman became uncomfortable with the way the man was acting around her and her children and she called police.
The suspect, a 43-year-old
from Pacific, was pulled by Sammamish police the next day for a broken taillight. He was cited for defective taillights and no insurance and his green van was im-pounded for being parked in an unsafe position.
He was arrested for al-leged assault in the fourth degree, but the woman decided not to press charges against the man.
According to Jessica Sullivan, administrative ser-geant with the Sammamish Police Department, there
have been at least a half dozen calls made to 911 and another half dozen to the police station involving the man who drives a green Chevrolet Venture minivan.
Residents are encouraged to call the police if they see the man acting suspiciously in their neighborhood. Those who feel threatened should call 911, or if they witness any strange behav-ior, call the non-emergency line, 206-296-3311.
Bad aTTiTUdeA woman called police
May 26 to report a man intentionally drove through her yard and tore up her grass in the 1200 block of 216 Avenue Northeast in Sammamish.
Earlier in the day, the woman who was having a garage sale, asked her husband to block their driveway with their SUV.
When a man arrived driving a gold Mercedes, he decided to drive around the SUV and into the home owner’s yard and then park in the driveway.
When the woman asked what he was doing, the
driver reportedly gave the woman attitude and accelerated out of the yard leaving more tire tracks. The home owner didn’t want to press charges, but just wanted someone to “talk” to the driver about his attitude.
dead endA Sammamish resident
called police May 29 to report someone had placed a “Dead End” sign, still attached to a post, in her backyard.
The resident in the 2600 block of Southeast 15th Street wasn’t sure where the sign came from or why someone would put it there.
vandaLiSMA group of Sammamish
residents in the Trossachs neighborhood called police May 26 to report numerous acts of vandalism.
The responding officer found detergent in the waterfall at the entrance to the neighborhood.
Several lights on homes in the neighborhood had also been damaged or re-moved, someone broke her
small tree in half and in an-other case someone moved all the front deck chairs and a flag of one resident and placed them in the park across the street.
eXPLOdinG BOXPolice responded to a
call of a loud explosion June 1 in the 2500 block of Southeast 28th Street in Sammamish.
Upon arrival officers found a mailbox with sev-eral pieces of “burnt crispy pieces of mail” inside it. Of-ficers believe someone lit off an M-80 or a small cherry bomb inside the mailbox.
The caller said they ob-served a new silver car driv-ing quickly away from the scene with what appeared to be teenagers inside.
UnLOCked THeFTA Sammamish man
called police May 31 to report someone broke into his unlocked car in the 2100 block of Southeast 22n Place and stole a digital camera, a check book, a debit card and GPS naviga-tion mount.

and pharmacies may charge a fee up to $15.60 to give the vaccine. In comparison, the normal cost of the Tdap booster shot without insur-ance is from $60-$100.
