the recent incident states that Burrell Michael Cushman is also currently under investigation for domestic violence homicide but does not site the Hargrove case specifically.

The Kirkland Police Department has stated that Cushman is an “involved

party” but has not officially named him a suspect.

Cushman was arrested

by Seattle Police June 20 after they were notified of a potential domestic violence dispute.

This is also not the first time Cushman has been accused of abusing a pregnant

girlfriend. In 2012, he had a restraining order filed against him by Hargrove.

In the petition, the then 28-year-old Hargrove claimed he had abused her for three years, including during her pregnancy, as well as raping her multiple times and forcing her to have sex with one of his family members. Hargrove

Wuts finds passion in creating his own kayaks, wins Kenmore Art Show

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland resident Joe Wuts has turned a personal hobby into award-winning art, winning best of show at the 16th Annual Kenmore Art Show for his design of a wooden kayak.

For Wuts, a home repair contractor, building kayaks has been a personal passion and a way to offer more artistry through the creation’s design. His main inspiration for woodworking came from his father, a Dutch immigrant from Holland.

City looks to move urban center to include LWIT tation funding because it is designed to absorb more growth. Under UGMA, Kirkland applies for transportation funding under the Puget Sound Regional Council. Transportation funding goes towards road improvements and expansion, as well as trail and sidewalk construction, things the institute would benefit from if they are placed inside the urban cen-

ter, according to Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett.

“To have an institution (like the institute) inside the urban growth center helps when you’re applying for funding,” he said.

If the institute was moved inside the boundary, the city would also be able to obtain higher levels of transit service in that area, according to AICP Director Eric Shields.

Triplett added that additional transit service has become important due to recent announcements by Metro Transit to cut bus routes.

Dr. Amy Goings, the president of the institute, said they are highly supportive of the city’s plans, as it will also help connect them with companies and businesses in Totem Lake,

as transportation improvements will occur around them as well as the rest of the urban center.

“Our orientation is very much focused on the Totem Lake area and serving employers in the Totem Lake area,” she said. “For us at the college, that is exciting as well because it’s more opportunity for students, both local students and international students, who come to the college to live very close by and take a short walk to the campus or ride their bikes. So, ideally with this revitalization comes the opportunity for more students to live in the Totem Lake area.”

Some confusion arose when the planning commission also looked into reconciling boundary differences with neighborhoods and the

fied the suspect, a SWAT team was called due to his violent criminal history and current investigations, according to police documents.

Cushman was arrested for domestic violence assault and booked into the King County Jail. Police did not see head injuries and were unable to locate any other possible injuries on the alleged victim’s stomach because she was wearing a dress.

According to the police report, the alleged victim is 20-weeks pregnant.

Cushman was eventually charged with two counts of assault. His pretrial date is schedule for July 14, with bail set at $100,000.

This is not the first time Cushman has been arrested. In 2010, he was arrested after a high-speed chase with police from Bellevue to Lynnwood resulting in his car, which had children inside, being flipped during a police maneuver.

Cushman also has three felony convictions. He is restricted from owning a firearm but according to the Seattle police report he is known to carry a gun.

he city of Kirkland is looking for ways to have the Lake Washington Institute of Technology take advantage of the Totem Lake neighborhood’s higher priority access to transportation funding as a part of the city’s urban center. The institute is currently just outside of the

urban center’s border and a part of the North Rose Hill neighborhood.

The planning commission is examining ways to move the institute into the designated urban center but nothing concrete has been decided.

business districts. Business districts are defined under the city’s comprehensive plan. Triplett said there is no practical necessity to change them other than for the sake of simplicity. Eventually word reached the North Rose Hill Neighborhood Association that the city was considering moving the institute from their neighborhood into the Totem Lake neighborhood. When contacted by the association the city admitted it had not communicated the proposed changes directly with them but also assured them that the institute will remain in their neighborhood.

Shields said that there is no formal proposal yet for the institute, and the planning commission is still weighing their options.

Meanwhile, Shields said residents are free to attend their meetings and express their thoughts on the proposals.

City prepares for loss of tax credit in 2021, possible budget gap

Community

BRIEFS

Brownies donate cookie revenue to Heartbeat for Wounded Warriors A Kirkland Girl Scout troop chose to donate $250 from cookie sales to Heartbeat for Wounded Warriors, a non-profit organization which supports veterans injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The girls, ages 8 and 9, from Brownie Troop 44305 voted Heartbeat as this year’s beneficiary over other causes, such as equine health and kitty rescue.

Janice Buckley, the founder of Heartbeat, accepted the donation and spoke to the troop members about the impact it would have on soldier rehabilitation programs such as equine and scuba therapy and service dog training. Troop 44305 members have also pledged to collect and donate loose change in support of Heartbeat’s efforts.

Troop 44305 members are Georgia Adams, Quincy McGee, Macy McGowan, Zara Blackford, Bailey Dare, Sydney Millerick, Taylor Dunniway, Corinne Hurst, Aubrey DeHoop, Isabel Burnette, Chloe Hansen and Anika Saunders. Heidi Millerick and Stephanie Dunniway are troop leaders.

Right now the city receives about $3.4 million in annexation sales tax credit.

The tax credit is forecasted to grow at four percent a year between 2015-2021.

City Manager Kurt Triplett said that while the city hopes redevelopment occurs in Totem Lake Malls and Parkplace, they are making adjustments in the budget in the event it doesn’t happen.

Legally, the city is required to have a balanced budget, which is made every two years. While curbing increases in staff salaries and benefits, city staff is also putting money into the city’s reserves. The reserves were used to help balance

the budget during the last several years. The city’s contracting and auto businesses were hit particularly hard by the recession. City officials hope to have the reserves filled by 2018, which can be used to help fill the budget gap if revenue does not increase.

Triplett said that for the two redevelopments to occur by 2021 would be a “game changer” for the city’s budgeting.

“If both of those happen, then Kirkland will be in a great position,” he said. “And so right now, while we’ve been struggling through the recession, they’ve sort of been in limbo. Our top priority is

to get both of those projects moving.”

Both Triplett and Dunlap stated despite these challenges, financially speaking the city is in a strong position and currently maintains a AAA credit rating by Standard and Poor.

At the moment, Triplett said that the city has been in contact with Coventry Real Estate Advisors, which owns the Totem Lake Malls, but nothing specific has been given as to any potential redevelopment. Repeated phone calls to Coventry Real Estate Advisors were not returned, and Kirkland Parkplace declined to comment for the story.

he city of Kirkland is working to find ways to generate new revenue as it faces the loss of nearly $4 million in annual annexation sales tax credits starting in 2021.

Two of those possibilities are potential redevelopment of the Totem Lake Malls and Parkplace.

If neither occurs by 2021, the city will either need to find additional revenue elsewhere or make budget cuts, according to Finance Director Tracey Dunlap.

Last year, the city brought in $16.6 million in sales tax revenue, compared to $16.5

million in 2007, albeit the 2013 figure reflects the 2011 annexation of Finn Hill, North Juanita, and Kingsgate, which nearly doubled the city’s population from 48,000 to 80,000.

City officials predict sales tax growth of four percent per year between 2015-2022 in the May 22 City Council packet, though officials also expressed concerns about the future economy’s stability due to stagnation in various sectors.

“While overall revenue trends are positive,” the document states, “the continuing volatile global economic conditions and slow growth in the labor market remain a concern.”

ne in three teens has experienced some kind of abuse in their dating relationship, according to the American Journal of Public Health. One in three. This includes physical and emotional abuse, stalking, and sexual coercion. Abuse may look different in teen versus adult relationships, but we need to take it just as seriously.

The Washington State Domestic Violence Fatality Review has been studying domestic violence–related homicides in our state since 1997. The research shows how early many abusive relationships start. Nine percent of domestic violence homicide victims were under 21 at the time they were killed, and 31% of homicide victims in studied cases were under 21 when they started dating the abuser.

Several met in high school or middle school.

Researchers found that education about dating violence in schools was not sufficient and often started too late. In their first experiences with dating, these young people did not get critical information about what a healthy relationship is or practical tips on what to do if someone was abusing them. Their parents also did not have the information they needed. Many tried to help, but did not know about resources—like their local domestic violence program—that could help them in their efforts.

We can do better. Teens need information, safe options, and support. Dating violence is a complex issue with no one, simple answer, but it is simple for each of us to play a role in teaching teens about healthy relationships.

REPORTER’S NOTES

Griswolds had nothing on us during summer vacation

R

ecently students concluded their final days of school and entered into the glorious phase of the year known as summer vaca-

tion.

Summer vacation is sort of like a really long period of ignorant bliss, where lucky children are able to forsake all academic responsibilities and engage in timeless juvenile rituals such as water-gun fights, chasing after ice cream trucks, and allegedly hitting a baseball signed by some old lady named Babe Ruth over the fence into the backyard of some blind guy with a beast - er, maybe I’ve mixed up certain memories.

I wish I had appreciated those months of freedom, especially the years before I had to spend sunny days grueling inside of a freezer at my local QFC or compressing my spine while lifting concrete onto some guy’s pickup truck at the Home Depot.

For my family, summer vacations usually involved two requisite Clark Griswold-inspired trips to see relatives in California and Utah. The drives were around 800 miles. My dad prided himself on being able to complete the entire trip in a single day. Add in a few bathroom breaks and pitstops and you have 15 hours, ladies and gentlemen.

That’s 15 hours of driving with three young boys cramped in the back of an already packed 1990 Plymouth mini-van like sardines.

In those days, or at least in my family, there was little to entertain us young lads, aside from punching each other.

Remember, this was the 1990s. No iPads or Kindles. No in-car TVs. No wireless Internet (what’s the Internet?). No smart phones, or even dumb phones. Only the rich had portable phones, which were the size of a brick and came with a briefcase-size battery charger.

That’s right, children. There were portable video

games, but we didn’t have any.

Oh, and forget the MP3, the iPod, or even the CD player. We were confined to our parents’ old Walkman and cassette tapes of oldies like Neil Diamond and the Beach Boys.

Limited to a tower of children’s books and an assortment of toys, we boys would sit and wait for the inevitable moment when one of us lost it.

We never knew what it was. The heat. The monotony of the road. The constant vibration of the engine. But something eventually would make one of us tic and start kicking and punching the other two, no matter how many times they got punched in response. Usually, it was the one placed in the middle of the seat with no side to lean on except someone’s shoulder.

The reason we fought so hard to maintain decorum and borderline civility in the van, was due to a promise our father made to buy us dessert

at the end of the day when we were close to our destination. Actually, I think he phrased it more as a threat: Be good or else no ice cream.

Tip to the CIA: if you want to torture someone, don’t waterboard them. Just offer ice cream to everyone in the room except them. They’ll break like a piece of plywood.

Yet, even in those moments of despair watching my brothers lick their ice cream and grin at me, I would have savored even those moments if I had known the full meaning of the word “bills” and “taxes” and “making ends meet” and how they would come to haunt me like some crazy exgirlfriend.

They say that youth is wasted on the young, and usually they’re referring to romance.

Summer vacation isn’t wasted on the young, just those who don’t appreciate it for what it will mean when they’re adults.

Kiwanis pancake breakfast a big success It was Memorial Day Saturday, May 24. The Kiwanis Club of Kirkland sponsored their Annual Pancake Breakfast at the Kirkland Community Center at Parkplace. Many club members were on the job at 5 a.m. picking up food, setting up tables and chairs, bring in table linens and flowers, heating up the grills, making coffee and figuring out who does what with the procession of the well oiled machine as the Kiwanis Club kicked into gear. Key Clubbers from local schools and other volunteers pitched in to help make this event a success. The doors opened at 7 a.m. to hungry patrons who paid $7 for a breakfast feast of pancakes, sausage, fruit, coffee, tea, milk or juice. At 8:30 a.m. the entertainment began. It was non-stop music and fun from local schools and various entertainers throughout the morning. This was the second year entertainment was on the “menu” [ more LETTER page 5 ]

and it was a huge success, adding a party feeling to the whole affair.

Starting the morning’s events was Michael Cole giving a rare performance on his Alphorn. He was then joined by Erling Iverson who played clarinet while Michael played trumpet. Next up was Zach Boyd who enchanted everyone with his guitar playing and singing. Continuing the fun was “Blank,” a teen rock and roll band that consisted of three siblings, rocked the house with tunes everyone recognized and enjoyed.

Thoreau Elementary School, directed by Sharon Frank was next in line with about 25 grade-school kids.

They had a great time sharing their music with a full house of breakfast eaters.

They started with their rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, which they sang at the Mariners game the week before. The pancake crowd then had the pleasure of watching and listening to The Silhouhettes – the three 14-year-old young ladies not only had great harmonies but great moves.

Finishing out the day were musical selections from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: a new musical. Several members of the cast mesmerized the crowd with original songs written specifically for the musical. The show will begin Halloween night and run through Nov. 22 at the Historic Everett Theater.

Tickets are now on sale.

Bob Gray was also on hand to make balloon animals and hats for the kids (and the young at heart).

Bob has participated in Kiwanis fundraisers for KITH in the past and was a great addition to the pancake party.

The KCK wants to give special thanks to one of their club members who generously donated the food for the event. Mike Marquess, co-owner of the Casino Caribbean located in the Kingsgate area, north of Totem Lake, has been a member of KCK for five years. He has donated the food for the Pancake Breakfast during the past

four years.

“I am glad to help out with the KITH program and to be able to help homeless families,” Marquess said.

The Kiwanis Club of Kirkland donated $5,000 to KITH (Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing) www.kithcares.org. A generous donation was also made by the Seattle Fund which agreed to partially match KCK’s donation to KITH for this year’s event.

Their donation, along with an anonymous donor who agreed to match the Seattle Fund’s donation, brought this year’s final total to $5,830.

The Annual Pancake Breakfast is one of many fundraisers put on each year by the KCK. If you are interested in learning more about Kiwanis Club of Kirkland, visit our website at www.kirkland. kiwanis.org or contact Matt Gregory, Secretary at 206851-5585.

To help your pet cope with the noise from fireworks, and reduce the chance that it runs away, RASKC offers these tips: Keep your pet secured indoors in the quietest room of your home while fireworks are audible. You can also use soothing music or television as a distraction. Some pets will stay calmer when placed in a secure crate in a darkened, quiet room.

It may take some time before spooked pets are brought to shelters.

If your pet does manage to escape, RASKC is ready to help. In addition to animal services staff, extra volunteers will be on duty over the holiday weekend at the King County Pet Adoption Center in Kent to help owners looking for their missing pets.

Kirkland resident and two-time women’s soccer Olympic gold medalist Hope Solo issued an apology on her Facebook page Thursday for an incident that landed her in jail on June 21.

Solo, who’s legal name is Hope Stevens, is charged with assaulting her 17-yearold nephew and half-sister during a family party at her half-sister’s Kirkland home.

She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

“I would like to apologize to my fans, teammates, coaches, marketing partners and the entire US Soccer and

Seattle Reign FC communities for my involvement in a highly unfortunate incident this past weekend,” Solo said in the statement. “I understand that, as a public figure, I am held to a higher standard of conduct. I take seriously my responsibilities as a role model and sincerely apologize to everyone I have disappointed.”

Solo allegedly arrived at the party upset and intoxicated and continued to drink with her half-sister.

An argument between the teen and Solo ensued when she told the boy that he was “too fat and overweight and crazy to ever be an athlete.”

The argument became

“Hope is not guilty of any crime. In fact, our investigation reveals that Hope was assaulted and injured during this unfortunate incident,” Solo’s defense attorney Todd Maybrown said in a statement. “We look forward to the opportunity to present the true facts in court and to having this matter behind Hope very soon.”

The prosecutor originally asked for $5,000 bail but Kirkland Municipal Court Judge Michael J. Lambo released her on her own recognizance with a pretrial hearing set for Aug. 11. Lambo also barred Solo from drinking alcohol prior to her next court date.

Former Kirkland nurse pleads guilty to two federal charges

By TJ Martinell

tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

A

former nurse has pled guilty to twoof-three charges related to stealing drugs at a Kirkland plastic surgery clinic.

The Department of Health’s Nursing Commission is also investigating the nurse, Angela Ann Huffman of Seattle, to decide whether she will retain her license to practice

nursing.

Huffman was initially indicted on three charges by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. She did not plead for a second count of tampering with consumer products.

As part of the plea agreement, prosecutors agreed not to prosecute her for any additional offenses for which they had evidence, according to U.S. District Court documents. Federal prosecutors said that at sentencing the judge is ex-

pected to dismiss the third charge.

Huffman was charged after an investigation related to an incident in May 2013 at the Kirkland clinic.

A 20-year-old woman was to undergo plastic surgery when another registered nurse administered midazolam, a sedative and muscle relaxant, and fentanyl. The drugs, however, had been switched with epinephrine, which caused the patient’s heart rate to

skyrocket, and she ultimately suffered a seizure.

During the investigation, it was discovered that Huffman had been stealing painkillers and stimulants.

The Reporter was unable to determine who or what caused the switch in drugs during the operation in May 2013, and Huffman did not submit a plea on that particular charge.

The Reporter is not naming the Kirkland clinic where the incident took place because it is legally considered a victim in the case.

Before working in

Kirkland, Huffman had previously worked at a Bellevue clinic from August 2012 through April 22, 2013. She was fired after staff discovered she had forged 14 prescriptions, using her sister’s driver’s license and credit card at one point. According to the charging papers, Huffman claimed to have developed a narcotics addiction after being legally prescribed drugs in February 2013 by the doctor at the Bellevue clinic. The doctor tried to enroll her in a confidential drug rehab program but she refused and was fired as

a result, according to court documents.

After Huffman was fired from the Bellevue clinic, she was hired by the Kirkland plastic surgery clinic three days later to help oversee the clinic’s supply of controlled substances. According to court documents, she did not tell the Kirkland clinic of the circumstances of her dismissal.

After the Kirkland clinic’s staff reported Huffman’s conduct to the Washington Nursing Commission, the following day the commission informed staff Huffman admitted to removing hydromorphone from vials and replacing them with saline.

Although it is possible Huffman may still retain her nursing license, pleading guilty to tampering with drugs makes it extremely doubtful, according to Mary Dale, a discipline manager on the Nursing Commission.

“It really depends on the case and how egregious,” she said. “Tampering is always very serious. That’s not only taking a drug but also putting patients at risk by replacing the drug.”

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.
