Kirkland police are investigating a burglary that occurred over the weekend at the Kirkland Teen Union Building in which eight laptops were stolen. Sometime between Friday and Monday, one or more thieves broke into the building, located at 348 Kirkland Ave., and stolen eight MacBook computers, according to Kirkland Police and a spokesperson for the regional YMCA. Lt. Mike Murray stated that they are currently reviewing surveillance footage but at this time have no description of the suspects or how many of them there might have been. Detectives have also recovered blood samples from when the thieves broke through the window. A spokesperson for the YMCA said the laptops were a part of a program helping teens to learn computer skills. The theft forced them to suspend the program for the day. The thief broke a front window on the building at 348 Kirkland Ave. and stole eight MacBook computers, leaving two computers behind, along with camera equipment, cords, and more. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Kirkland Police through their non-emergency reporting line at 425-577-5656.

Lockhart’s passion for the arts will drive KPC as new director BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
Jeff Lockhart’s passion for music started when his mother took him to a Beach Boys concert as a young boy. “It was a life changer for me as a kid,” he said. “I wanted to do that.” Since that Beach Boys concert in the mid-1970s, Lockhart’s passion has always been at the forefront of his life, whether it was attending concerts as a kid, learning to play the drums and guitar, or co-founding a band. “I don’t remember not
being involved in music,” he said. As the newly-appointed executive director of the Kirkland Performing Arts Center, Lockhart brings not only decades of experience and enthusiasm to the job, but an attitude that considers both the art and business side of the industry as equally vital. Lockhart had served as interimdirector. “I see the Performing Arts Center as being an Eastside destination for people who want quality music and entertainment,” he said. “Region-
ally, we like to reach out to people. We want to be the place of choice when you think of music and film or performing arts.” Lockhart also stated the intent is to showcase art, whether it be music, theater or film, that reflects the values of the community rather than impose their own preferences and tastes. For example, they have been reaching out to indie rock artists from Seattle, which he said have a large fan base on the Eastside. They also have a “Night of Queen” event, which will recreate

the rock band Queen’s concert by a cover band. Lockhart’s band, Creme
Tangerine, will also hosts a concert in which they will recreate the Beatle’s “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” concert. “We’ve just been trying to do more creative things musically,” he said. Rather than see conflict between the creative and business sides of art, Lockhart considers them both equally essential. From his earliest days performing, he got directly involved in booking concerts and recording records. “I love the music busi[ more KPC page 3 ]

they put in.” Goodman said he is confident in his accomplishments in the legislature. In the race for the 45th District Senate seat, both the challenger, Matt Isenhower (D-Redmond), and the incumbent, Andy Hill (R-Redmond) earned ratings of “Very Good.” Hill, who did not return a request for comment, increased his rating from “Good” in 2010. “As a first-time candidate, it’s an honor to be judged as someone who is a skilled builder of consensus, understands the issues facing our state and inspires confidence,” Isenhower said. “The community leaders who volunteer with the Municipal League of King County go to great lengths to evaluate candidates’ effectiveness, character and knowledge. It’s not a resume measuring contest or a partisan judgment. Because they really seek to understand whether a candidate is prepared to make an impact, I think their ratings are particularly helpful to voters.” The non-partisan process used 50 volunteers, who devoted more than 1,000 hours to collect the information. To determine candidate ratings, the volunteers reviewed candidate questionnaires, studied the public record, spoke with references and conducted interviews with candidates, according to the Municipal League’s website. The questionnaire the candidates fill out includes information on the candidate’s background
like other elected offices held, volunteerism, community work and employment. The ratings are not meant as an endorsement by the league but rather to assess each candidate’s potential to be effective in office and ability to serve the community. Committee members then rated each candidate on four criteria: involvement, character, effectiveness and knowledge. Former Kirkland mayor Joan McBride, in her first legislative race, earned a rating of “Very Good” in her bid for representative position No. 2 in the 48th District. She is running against Libertarian Tim Turner, who earned a rating of “Adequate.” The seat is currently held by Rep. Cyrus Habib, who is running for State Senate in the 48th District, currently held by Rodney Tom (D-Bellevue), who is not running for reelection. Habib was one of just two candidates in the two districts to earn a rating of “Outstanding.” Habib’s opponent, Republican Michelle Darnell, earned a rating of “Adequate.” The other candidate to earn a rating of “Outstanding” is longtime State Rep. Ross Hunter (D-Medina). Hunter increased his rating from “Very Good” in 2012. Hunter is being challenged by Bill Hirt (R-Bellevue), who did not participate in the process and was the only candidate in the two districts to earn a rating of “Not Qualified.” Hirt did participate in the process in 2012 when he challenged Hunter and also earned

the same rating. State Rep. Larry Springer (D-Kirkland), who holds position No. 2 in the 45th District, earned a rating of “Very Good,” while his opponent, Republican Brendan Woodward, earned a rating of “Adequate.” The best rating a candidate can receive is “Outstanding.” The Municipal League’s website defines “Outstanding” as that the candidate “Has made numerous outstanding contributions requiring skills related to the office, is a path-finding and respected leader, brings knowledge and creativity to issues facing the office.” “Very Good” is defined as “Makes significant contributions, is a skilled builder of consensus, inspires confidence in the way he/she would serve, is thorough and attentive to issues.” “Good” is defined as “Has been active and effective in many roles, is capable of moving people to productive action, has strong record of participation in problem solving, shows satisfactory commitment to tackling issues.” “Adequate” is defined as “Has a record of participation and interest, is effective on specific issues, has provoked questions about suitability as an office holder, will need significant time/energy to fill gaps in knowledge.” The worst rating a candidate can receive is “Not Qualified,” meaning that the candidate “Doesn’t appear engaged, has a record that casts doubt on ability to be productive, hasn’t demonstrated ability to deal with responsibilities of office, has narrow focus, inflexible attitude or is otherwise troubling.” An example of questions that are asked of the candidate include is “Describe your most important personal characteristics or traits as they relate to the office you seek;” “Please describe, in sufficient detail, one to three accomplishments or contributions of which you are most proud;” and “Please list or describe current and past activities in the community in which you have acquired skills that relate to the office you seek.” The league did not have enough volunteers to rate candidates in the 1st District, which represents parts of north Kirkland.

The machine that made popular music culture happen is fascinating as a study.” With a business degree from Northwest University in Kirkland, he eventually founded Creatio Institute at his alma mater, which offers academic degree programs, a commercial recording studio enterprise and youth music industry programs with the intent of helping artists balance between their art and the industry. In 2011, he was recognized by the city of Kirkland for his promotion of the arts in the area with the Kirkland Cachet Award. “I talk to my students about balancing the music,” he said. “The best musicians have a grip on how those things work together. Great artistry support great industry and great industry support great artistry. I see those both existing together.” This balance between music and business is also what he regards as the key to the Performing Arts Center’s success. “We’re not going to

Summertime baseball memories
T
alking to Andy Cosgrove about his upcoming career as a catcher for the Huskies reminded me of my own days playing baseball. T-ball and coach pitch, that is. Why I never went beyond that and into the pony or mustang leagues, I’ve never quite figured out. Perhaps it never occurred to me to nag my parents to sign me up and drag me to yet another sports practice, games, and buy the uniforms. Growing up on kid baseball movies like “The Sandlot” and “Rookie of the Year,” as well as the requisite pick-up games of baseball during the summer, I found many aspects of the game enjoyable. But the best moments were when I got up to bat. Whether it was Tball or coach pitch, I’d approach the plate, tap my shoes with the bat, raise my chin confidently, and “call my shot” as I pointed towards center field. It left my parents understandably embarrassed, until I sent that ball soaring out of the tiny field we played on and over into another game. I also had this weird ritual where I would throw the bat behind me as hard as I could before I dashed up to first base, which I stopped after I nearly took out the catcher. Of course, I wouldn’t have been in such a hurry if I had known the game was rigged. Due to some unwritten code, kids were not allowed to hit home runs, which meant they could go no further than third base. My initial response to this rule: “You’re killing me, Smalls!” I have no idea if this rule is still implemented, or if this was a local statute. I hope it was local. I know those who enforce such rules mean well, but do they have any idea how big of a deal it is for a kid to

mobility of a zombie and sucked the passion out of a game like Dracula. Or at least that’s what I told my parents after they ordered me to stop trying to play the outfield, short stop and second base all at the same time. Let me put it this way: When we asked “Who’s on first?” and said “I don’t know is on third?” we were not quoting the classic Abbott and Costello comedy routine. We were being literal. If being able to run all the bases after clobbering a ball out of a baseball field while smacking down on Big League Chew bubble gum and spitting out solidified sugar, arms raised in triumph as they slide across home base and then celebrate while screaming “I’m the Great Bambino!” isn’t an integral part of a kid’s life, then nothing is.

be able to run all the bases and then make a completely unnecessary slide across home and possibly take out of the catcher at the same time? For kids like me, whose baseball career was confined to having a ball tossed to them underhand, it’s the one moment in his half-grown adult life that he will be able to feel like a professional player, in the big leagues, playing under the big lights, in the big stadium. The players on a kid’s team also determine how bearable this denial of an actual home run can be. Not only was I the only second grader on one of my coach pitch teams, with the rest of the kids being first graders well below me on the juvenile social caste system, but many of the players were what I refer to as “draftees,” and not in the athletic sense.

The 12th Annual Kirkland Classic Car show will take place on July 27 and is hosted by the Legends Car Club In conjunction with the Kirkland Downtown Association (KDA). I know that the citizens of Kirkland are well aware of this, but I doubt that anyone knows the real reason for the show. The Legends Car Club was founded some 15 years ago by a group of car enthusiasts to put on a car show and to raise money for charity. Our primary charities are the Forgotten Children’s Fund, The Royal Camp for Kids and the Tanner Jeans Memorial Bike Safety Rodeo. The Forgotten Children’s Fund serves some 2900 children and 800 Families in western Washington annually. Many of the club’s members volunteer each year to drive, act as elves or Santa during the Christmas holiday. The Royal Camp for Kids creates a life-changing environment for kids of abuse. Members of the club and other organizations go up to the camp each year and take kids for rides as well as serve as mentors. The Bike Rodeo teaches kids about bike safety and provides bike helmets. This is done in conjunction with the Snoqualmie Police department and the Tanner Jean Memorial Bike Safety Rodeo. Also, as funds are available we will also contribute to food banks and to senior centers as the club members feel that it is important to give back. The Legends Car Club welcomes the citizens of Kirkland to our show, but we do ask that you

Cushman charged with murder of Kirkland resident The former boyfriend of 28-year-old Kirkland resident Amy Hargrove has been charged with her murder by the King County Prosecutor’s Office. Burrell Michael Cushman, has been charged with second degree murder for allegedly strangling Hargrove to death in her mother’s home in January. Cushman was recently arrested for allegedly assaulting his pregnant girlfriend in Seattle. Bail for Cushman was set at $1.5 million. His arraignment is scheduled for July 22 at the King County Courthouse. Hargrove’s body was found by her mother, according to a Kirkland Police Department report. During the initial investigation Hargrove’s mother stated that one of Hargrove’s children was missing from the residence and last known to be under Cushman’s mother’s care. After detectives arrived, Cushman’s mother also came to the resident in her vehicle with Hargrove’s child in the car. Cushman’s mother told officers that she had taken the child several days before the murder with Hargrove’s permission while visiting relatives in Oregon. Cushman’s mother allegedly told police she and her son had been estranged from Hargrove until October 2013, at which time she claims Hargrove allowed her to see the child. Cushman’s mother also allegedly

told police that her son had started seeing Hargrove sometime afterward. While away, Cushman’s mother claims she received a call from her son on Jan. 5, the day before Hargrove was murdered. During the phone call he allegedly told her that he had an argument with Hargrove and said she had been drinking. He allegedly told her repeatedly that he “had a bad feeling about tonight,” but did not elaborate on what he meant. When questioned by police, Cushman denied assaulting or killing her. He admitted he had resumed his relationship with Hargrove and that he had been with her Jan. 4-5, but claimed to have left the residence after an argument. Cushman was arrested for admitting he had violated the protection order. During the initial investigation, there were no signs of a forced entry or signs of a struggle. An autopsy on Hargrove’s body showed the cause of death to be strangulation and it was estimated to have occurred on Jan. 5, within the timeframe when Cushman called his mother. Investigations concluded that Cushman was the last known person to have seen Hargrove alive and her DNA was found under his fingernails. Her cell phone, Facebook account and computer showed no sign of activity after Cushman allegedly left the residence, the report states. Phone records obtained by investigations revealed that Hargrove feared for her life
due to her relationship with Cushman, according to the police report. She allegedly told Cushman’s mother on the phone “I’m scared that I’m not going to live through this one, he’ll kill me” and that “I cannot stand up for myself or get away from him now without a major disaster.” In her prior petition to the court for a protection order, Hargrove wrote that “a piece of paper isn’t going to save my life when he finally gets me but at least you will know who killed me.” Before the murder, Hargrove had filed a protection order against Cushman. In the 2012 petition, Hargrove claimed he had abused her for three years, including during her pregnancy, as well as raping multiples times and forcing her to have sex with one of his family members. Previously, Hargrove had lost custody of her two children, blaming Cushman for having them in his car during a high-speed police chase in 2010. Hargrove had a long history of abusive relationships, according to a 2004 declaration by Hargrove’s mother, which was written in a custody battle. In an attempt to gain custody of Hargrove’s oldest child, her mother said that Hargrove had a troubled past, which included a young pregnancy, drug abuse, emotional issues and a boyfriend who pleaded guilty to assaulting Hargrove.

Food industry works hard to improve tarnished image S food products that are high in sugar, salt and fat content are seen as leading causes of health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and cancer. While it would be most desirable if manufacturers made healthier foods – the kinds people used to eat – the problem is that real food isn’t really profitable, said Mark Bittman, a food writer for the New York Times. By processing food, instead of selling it in its natural state, companies are able to “add value,” not necessarily for consumers but for retailers who can warehouse and shelf them almost endlessly. For example, potatoes may rot within weeks, but chips last forever; fresh bread may go stale overnight, but the enriched varieties remain soft almost indefinitely.

Unfortunately, extending shelf life and reducing spoilage makes processed foods not only more profitable but also much inferior, if not outright harmful, in terms of their nutritional quality. It would be naïve to think the industry would be willing to abandon the business practices it so successfully developed over many decades only because the public has become more concerned over health issues in connection with their products. “Food companies are well aware of the health crisis their products cause, and recognize that the situation is unsustainable,” Bittman said. “But […] as long as even one of the big food companies remains
Choose Health. With Care.
Three-dimensional mammography finds significantly more invasive cancers and reduces unnecessary recalls compared to 2-D mammography, according to a large, retrospective study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that features data from EvergreenHealth in Kirkland. The study focused on the impact of 3-D mammography at a diverse range of sites across the
cynical and uncaring about its market, they all must remain so.” And yet, there are changes happening behind the scenes and put in place without much fanfare, even though they are somewhat revolutionary. For instance, industry giants like Nestle and General Mills have begun reducing sugar content in cereals and beverages without publicly saying so, according to reports by the Wall Street Journal. Restaurant chains from Applebee’s to Starbucks include more and more low-calorie options in their menus. And both manufacturers and restaurant operators are making what they call “stealth health” modifications in Timi Gustafson
We have to engage in multistakeholder dialogues and efforts,” said Paul Bulcke, the C.E.O. of Nestle, one of the world’s biggest food and drink manufacturers at the meeting. “We need to show [consumers] we are a responsive and responsible industry, now more than ever,” he added. Besides working towards greater protection of children and more userfriendly labeling, the CGF also called for the industry to increase awareness of the impact modern food production has on the environment such as greenhouse gas emission and deforestation, and to employ effective countermeasures. At the center of criticism directed at food companies is, of course, the obesity crisis that keeps worsening around the globe. Processed

ome leading food and beverage companies have announced new measures to improve their industry’s reputation and win back the trust of consumers. For example, advertising of unhealthy junk food to minors is scheduled to be phased out within this decade, and less confusing food labeling is also in the works, according to Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), an international network organization for hundreds of retailers and manufacturers that just held its annual summit in Paris, France. “The consumer goods industry acknowledges its role in the health and wellness of society, the issues around it, and the imperative need for actions. We have to scale up our efforts. We have to accelerate existing initiatives.
U.S. The study looked at nearly half a million mammograms. Key findings of the study include: • 41 percent increase in invasive cancer detected with 3-D mammography • 15 percent decrease in unnecessary recalls for false alarms • 29 percent increase in the detection of all breast cancers “We are proud to be part of such an important study and to share the benefits of a screening option that we’ve put into practice at EvergreenHealth for years to positively impact the
their recipes, from cookies to fast food favorites, cutting back on salt and fat and finding alternatives to maintain taste. The companies proceed with these changes gradually and even secretly because they don’t always know how far they can go without losing customers. Later on, if they succeed in reformulating their products to peoples’ liking, they then can put out additional health claims, expand their market shares, and polish their image, said Julie Jargon, a food writer for the Wall Street Journal who follows these trends.

In two years of using 3-D mammography, EvergreenHealth found 54 incidences of breast cancer that would not have been detected using only 2-D mammography.

The JSWS will be played in Kirkland on Aug. 10-16 at Everest Park in Kirkland and is the official championship tournament for girls fastpitch softball for Little League. During the District 9 championship, Kirkland was led by pitcher Tori Bivens, who racked up 15 strikeouts and was 3-for4 at the plate. Teammate Abby Anthis was 3-for-4 and Anastasia Kotsakis had a triple. The team from Kirkland crushed Bellevue, which also has players from Mercer Island, on Tuesday, 16-0 to advance to the championship game. Last year the team from Kirkland tied its best showing for a host team in tournament history, finishing second overall. In 2012, the team finished third. Bivens is also on a roll.

Kristin and Todd met more than 20 years ago and the couple has a 14-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son. “Todd has always been an amazing father in every sense,” said Andi Kirk, a friend of the Wingerson family. “As a couple, Todd and Kristin are the perfect fit for each other. Both have a great sense of humor and complement each other beautifully.” Kirk met the Wingersons when the family moved across the street from them in Carnation but she quickly learned that Kristin was good friends with her brother and the two had graduated from RHS together. As a friend and neighbor, Kirk said Todd has always been the kind of guy who would drop everything to help someone. She said right now, they are not sure what the money from the fundraisers will go toward as there will be so many changes to the Wingersons’ lives.

mixed breeds – were all finding new homes. All of the animals available for adoption were brought by western and central Washington rescues and shelters, not private owners or breeders, and each animal was perfect in their own way but just lacked a perfect home. “I was doing the hula I was so happy.” said Yolanda Morris, co-founder and Board President. The primary goal of these large adoption events is to provide rescue and shelter cats and dogs additional exposure and opportunities to be adopted. Pawsitive Alli-
ance hosts several adoption events throughout the year across Washington State and typically sees 50-100 animals adopted in three to four hours. As successful as this event was many dogs and cats weren’t adopted and are still waiting for their next chance to find a great home. To help them and many more homeless animals Pawsitive Alliance’s next hosted event is Woofstock 2014 being held Aug. 2 at Todd Field on the campus of Puget Sound University in Tacoma in partnership with Dugan Foundation.

he Internet and social networking websites, such as Facebook, have allowed people to keep in touch and reconnect with friends who may have moved away to other parts of the country or the world. And while these online reunions are often used to just say “hi” or check in with someone, a group of Redmond High School (RHS) and Lake Washington High School (LWHS) alums are using the power of the Internet to help their friends in need. During the Memorial Day weekend this year, a swimming pool accident left 1988 LWHS graduate Todd Wingerson with a broken neck and severed spinal cord. The accident has since prompted friends to set up online fundraisers on
giveforward.com to help Wingerson and his family financially. One of the fundraisers was set up by Brad Lombardi, who graduated from RHS in 1987 and knew Wingerson and his wife Kristin Wingerson — who also graduated from RHS — while they were all in high school. Lombardi said when he learned about Todd’s accident, he did not know what to say or how to approach the situation. So Lombardi stuck with what he is good at and that is racing. On July 21, he will race in the Badwater 135 ultramarathon for the fourth time. The 135-mile marathon begins in Lone Pine, Calif. in Death Valley. He said when he participates in bigger races such as this one, he tries to raise money for a cause, as well. Lombardi and his team were still trying to figure out what this year’s cause

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
