Penny LeGate Visits The UPS Store In Crossroads

Veteran TV reporter Penny LeGate was welcomed at The UPS Store at Crossroads yesterday, to film a segment for the KIRO 7 TV magazine Better Northwest. 
LeGate arrived at the store yesterday about 9:45am, a few minutes after her crew started setting up the "studio" which consisted of a banner made at our store hanging from a counter and the mailboxes.  After introducing herself to our staff, she showed pictures of her dog and posed for a picture (second from top) that I requested.  She interviewed Deb for about an hour from which a 4 minute segment will be taken.  Our dog, Rusty (top) will be included.  They also took a cameo shot of me that may or may not be included.  Our nephews may also appear.  When the crew wrapped up, LeGate took a little time to visit the nearby craft store "Michaels", then returned to say good bye to everyone. 
The segment (which also talks about the "Summer Fun Getaway" contest running now at Seattle area stores) is scheduled to be shown Thursday, July 7th between 9 and 10 am on channel 7.

Former Seattle Anchor Stays In Touch

While attending WSU I shared a class with Margo Myers. Myers would go on to have an excellent broadcasting career, working first for KOMO-TV in Seattle and later for KIRO-7. During her time at WSU, Myers was a sports reporter at the college newspaper.

She now has a blog where she can keep up with friends and former viewers. By the way, Myers had a role in the 2002 Angelina Jolie movie "Life Or Something Like It"

Lawsuit Papers Raise Questions On Hutchison Candidacy

It is commonly known that if you file a lawsuit against a corporate entity, they are going go to the far lengths to destroy the plaintiff and undermine the other party's creditability. That being said, revelations in a lawsuit that former KIRO news anchor Susan Hutchison filed against the owners of KIRO TV, question Ms. Hutchison's integrity. Although the filing and subsequent settling of the lawsuit was public knowledge, Ms Hutchison fought to keep the court papers private. Hutchison is a candidate to be King County Executive.

It may seem like a small thing to call in sick over a holiday, then be seen on vacation, but someone who probably deserved the time off probably had to fill in, not getting time to see his/her family.

Hutchison has failed to reveal her stances and opinions, in contrast to Dow Constantine, who had that courage to tell an audience in North Bend, "I'm a Liberal Democrat".
