Feds charge troubled officer with using excessive force BY MIKE CARTER
The Seattle Times
A federal grand jury has indicted a former Tukwila police officer on a charge of violating the civil rights of a man he pepper-sprayed while the man was restrained on a gurney in the Harborview Medical Center emergency room in 2011.
Nick Hogan, who was fired by the department and is currently an officer with the Snoqualmie Police Nick Hogan Department, faces up to 10 years in federal prison and fines of up to
$250,000 for allegedly depriving the suspect of his civil rights by using excessive force. On Friday, the city of Snoqualmie announced it was placing Hogan on paid administrative leave in light of the federal indictment. Hogan, 35, is the first police officer in Western Washington in eight years to be federally charged for actions while “act-
ing under color of law,” according to court records. The indictment, handed down Thursday, alleges Hogan “willfully deprived” the victim “of the right … to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, which includes the right to be free from the use of unreasonable force by a SEE CHARGED, PAGE 8

Real lessons at mock elections
BY DYLAN CHAFFIN dchaffin@snovalleystar.com
Each year, schools across the state allow K-12 students to use their democratic muscles in a nonpartisan, educational mock election designed to help kids become more informed voters.
For two fifth -classes at North Bend Elementary, the exercise held May 16 to May 20 was a worthwhile break from the curriculum and a chance to engage in a political conversation, with an introduction to the electoral process, the two main parties and what to expect during election
season. The classes didn’t go much into candidates, said fifth grade teacher Rick Flanagan, because he didn’t want to slant opinions. It’s Flanagan’s fourth presidential election season at the school, even though each November is with a different
set of students. Computers were set up to mimic voting booths, and students were able to thoroughly read the biographies of the candidates for both parties before voting electronically. “It’s really exciting,” said SEE ELECTIONS, PAGE 5
Portion of tribe’s lawsuit is dismissed BY SCOTT STODDARD
sstoddard@snovalleystar.com
A federal judge in Seattle on May 16 dismissed a portion of the Snoqualmie Tribe’s federal lawsuit against Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson and other city officials. U.S. District Judge James Robart sided with the city on the tribe’s discrimination claims, writing that the tribe failed to make a plausible case that the city’s move to end sewer services at the Snoqualmie Casino was motivated by race. Larson said the lawsuit “was never about discrimination.” “The City Council, the Administration, and our staff have always been committed to providing cost-effective utility services — fairly and without regard to race,” Larson said via a press release issued by the city. Robart gave the tribe 20 days to amend its complaint. A statement released by the tribe May 20 said: “The court dismissed, without prejudice, only one of the tribe’s multiple claims against the city. The tribe has every intention of amending our complaint to add more evidence of discrimination as requested by the court.” The tribe filed suit in December 2015 against Larson, City Council members, the city administrator and the public works director.

A $168,000 contribution from the Snoqualmie Valley Youth Soccer Association allowed for a third grass field.

Candidate-filing week sets up state races
ccorrales-toy@snovalleystar.com
The field is set for the upcoming election. Candidate-filing week came to a close on May 20, setting the stage for federal and state races to come. Offices that have more than two candidates will be whittled down to two in the Aug. 2 primary. The general election is Nov. 8.
5th Legislative District Terms for all three 5th Legislative District seats expire at the end of the year. The race for the state Senate seat comes down to two Issaquah residents: incumbent Sen. Mark Mullet and current 5th District Rep. Chad Magendanz. Mullet, a Democrat, was elected to his seat in 2012. Prior to that he served on the Issaquah City Council. He owns the Zeeks Pizza and Ben & Jerry’s stores in the Issaquah Highlands.
Magendanz is the ranking Republican on the House Education Committee. He was elected to his 5th District House seat in 2012 and re-elected in 2014. He previously was on the Issaquah School Board. Snoqualmie Republican Jay Rodne filed to retain the 5th District house seat he has held since 2004. Before that, he was on the Snoqualmie City Council from 2001-2004. Jason Ritchie, an Issaquah Democrat, is Rodne’s lone opponent
for the Position 1 seat. Gov. Jay Inslee recently appointed him to the state’s Independent Living Council. Ritchie previously challenged Rep. Dave Reichert for the 8th Congressional District. Three candidates filed to run for Magendanz’s current seat. Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson makes a bid for the state Legislature after serving 10 years as the city’s mayor. The Democrat was previously on Snoqualmie’s Parks Board, Planning
Commission and City Council. Democrat Darcy Burner also filed for the seat. In the past, she’s campaigned for Congress in the 8th District and 1st District. A former Microsoft manager, Burner lives in the Ames Lake area. Fall City’s Paul Graves is the lone Republican looking to replace Magendanz. He is a lawyer at the state’s largest law firm and a board member for one of the state’s first public charter schools.

t’s no secret that people are generally pretty averse to change. Why wouldn’t we be? We’re hardwired to want stability, and stability is comfortable. But comfort has a really funny habit of turning into complacency, and complacency is a small, quiet room where nothing ever gets done. It’s also where we stop

quickly to be supported by its existing facilities, schools and roads. And to me, that’s a good thing. It means more money for local businesses, projects and other infrastructure. It means that years from now, we’ll likely see communities that don’t force residents to spend money on goods and services in Issaquah or Bellevue, or force residents to live outside of the city because they can’t afford to pay their
rent. It means that, in the future, we’ll be able to bring in new jobs and allow for a more diverse workforce. If nothing else, it means that our cities will be able to sustain themselves for the long haul, and not simply exist as small vacation towns. Change can be uncomfortable, there’s no denying that.

Unauthorized burn
At 4:52 p.m. May 14, Snoqualmie firefighters responded to a report of white smoke in the area of 352nd Avenue Southeast. Crews found an unauthorized burning at the address that was south of 96th Street, in unincorporated King
County. The crew told the homeowner that a lot of smoke was settling low in the houses to the north. He agreed to put the fire out.
Frustrating false alarm
At 1:38 p.m. May 16, Snoqualmie firefighters responded to a fire alarm at the old Snoqualmie Valley Hospital. Upon arrival, the crew found the building evacuated with no signs of fire from the exterior. Upon further investigation, it had appeared that the alarm system had been reset and history cleared prior to the crew’s arrival, making it next to impossible to obtain information as to where the alarm was activated from. The security onsite advised that it was likely from construction being done downstairs, and that there was no sign of fire.

It was a department store brand “next.” Police placed the bike into evidence as found property.

When asked what she was looking for in a candidate, Kinsella-Johnson said she would vote for someone who was fair, courteous, listens and understands others. “Somebody who I can respect and trust to take control of the United States,” she said. For Tanner Swanson, the ideal candidate is someone who sticks to his beliefs but does the best thing for everyone, not just what’s in the candidate’s best interest. “I want someone who addresses a lot of different problems, instead of just one and putting all of their

resources into that,” he said. The lesson taught Swanson that there was a lot more as to how presidents are elected, and how much work goes into the months leading up to the general election, he said. Overall, 6,880 were cast statewide during the week. Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders bested Hillary Clinton 3,270 votes to 1,361. Republican candidate Donald Trump held a commanding lead over opponent Ted Cruz, John Kasich and Ben Carson with 56 percent of the vote to Cruz’s 21 percent, Kasich’s 10 percent and Carson’s 11 percent. In North Bend, 53 total ballots were cast. Clinton won by two votes over Sanders and Trump won by three votes over Cruz. View the rest of the results at 1.usa. gov/1OKiPyk.

Does the media have a positive effect on society? YES By Eddy Zhu Issaquah High School In today’s day and age, mainstream media is treated like the new boogeyman. “It’s all tasteless garbage” they’ll shout from the rafters, “everyone has hidden agendas!” They’ll cynically hiss, and of course, my favorite, “Mainstream media is corrupting the youth!” Corrupting the youth? That’s a little extreme don’t you think? Sure, much of today’s pop culture driven media is mindless drivel, but much of it is informative, interesting, and unafraid to challenge social norms. Kids these days have the world at their fingertips. They can find out what is happening at the opposite end of the earth in an instant. Think of the different cultural perspectives,
worldviews and progressive ideas they’re exposed to. Not to mention, media serves as an outlet for all kinds of creative, unique people, who are able to broadcast their thoughts and ideas to a wider audience than ever before. Think of all the brilliant, thought provoking movies and TV shows out there that wouldn’t be possible without today’s mainstream media. And yes, there is some bad stuff out there, but kids should also be given more credit. We’re not going to join the Hitler Youth at the snap of a finger just because Fox News told us to. It’s almost like we’re able to, get ready for this, formulate our own opinions by using good judgment. So let’s stop blaming mainstream media for everything wrong in today’s society, and instead cherish it for being a bastion of progress and communication.
NO By Rohan Vaidya Skyline High School Mainstream media has become a pivotal aspect of our lives. It reports on everything from the latest news in the sports industry to the most recent updates in the presidential campaign. People often say that the media is a positive influence on us. It helps us to “stay informed.” That is true, it does help us stay informed, but it also does a lot more — a lot more negative. Because of the way news is reported, today’s youth are exposed more to the negative aspects that are happening around the world than the positive ones. In recent time, going on the front page of CNN will always yield violent world events rather than constructive ones. The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry has shown that
youth who see violence in the news, believe that violence is a normal part of life and it is OK to imitate that violence. In addition, today’s media has a focus on reporting on events that are happening in other first-world countries. When terroristS attacked Paris and Brussels, the media covered those events for weeks. But when a factory collapses in Bangladesh, killing 1,100 people, the news covers it for far less time and fewer people are aware. The media often only reports on topics that we are able to relate to making our generation oblivious to the atrocities — and boons — that happen in other second and third world countries. All in all, the media tends to focus its attention on negative events that happen around the world and often times fail to report on events that are harder for us to relate to. Due to these two huge reasons, many aspects of the media hurt us as youth more than it helps us.

From ‘Dab fad’ to controversy By Noela Lu Skyline High School Whip/Nae Nae and the Dab are the latest dance crazes of 2015 and 2016, bringing instant admiration to any soul talented enough to master these moves. These dance moves have generated controversy as to their origins — most notably, the Dab, which happens to be one of the easiest dances to master. According to Rolling Stone, the Dab was initially observed in Atlanta rapper Skippa da Flippa’s 2014 video for the song “How Fast Can You Count It,” leading to a massive influx of
vines copying the move. But American rapper Bow Wow postulated that the origins of the popular dance move had something to do with cannabis dabbers. He explained that the commonly used terminology of “dabbing” to represent the carefree dance move is also associated with the act of smoking concentrated marijuana oil. There’s also been further speculation that the dance move originated from another form of “dabbing,” in which cocaine users snort cocaine from their elbow, but casually pretend they’re simply sneezing.

T-Jay Hayes had already released one of the earliest tutorial videos, garnering more than 2.3 million views in the first years. Vines of people dabbing filled the Internet. Hip-hop artists like Jay-Z, Future and Rich the Kid began dabbing both during live performances and music videos. Professional athletes joined in on the fun. So regardless where dabbing arose from, it is undoubtedly the prevalence of YouTube and vines that have led to the rapid spread of the Dab, showing us just how powerful the internet is in influencing popular society.
WRITE FOR US, MOUNT SI
By Megan So Liberty High School From the runway to magazine pages to Instagram posts to your school’s hallways, chances are you will have many encounters with style trends. It›s not unusual to walk down the hall and see many girls wearing multiple brands’ variations of the T-shirt dress. Last year, Birkenstocks seemed to be on everyone’s feet. At least one girl in each class has ombré hair. The trends never end and almost seem to be replaced as quickly as the next smartphone.
As social media grows, more and more people have access to the latest fads. It’s not unusual to see several students sporting Adidas Superstars or Nike Roshes — things that are often featured in “Outfit of the Day” Instagram posts. Most teens have been in a Forever21 or an American Eagle, and many more will buy into whatever trends are cycling through the media next. I’m no fashion expert, but it doesn’t take one to see just how significant style trends can be to high schoolers. But are they positive or
negative influencers? One Liberty student wore a traditional Indian dress to prom. Another explained to me that her dress was actually a black t-shirt and a tulle maxi skirt. There’s nothing wrong with the usual sparkly dress, but don’t feel constrained from wearing something different. It’s fine to wear something you like whether it’s part of a trend or not. But don’t let trends make you feel like you can’t wear anything else. As long as you like it, wear it with confidence. You might even start a new trend.
Linguistic fads — yay or nay? By Matthew Duff Issaquah High School Groovy. Awesome. Radical. Tight. Lit. All of these terms communicate essentially the same thing, although they vary in their era of origin. Language is not static; popular phrases constantly phase in and out of style. Many language fads are briefly in vogue but eventually fall to linguistic obscurity. A select few withstand the test of time and become integrated into longstanding — or even intergenerational —vernacular. Youth are constantly riding a wave of idiosyncratic,
trendy phrases. Lit, low key, 10/10, would recommend and savage are today what groovy and nifty were to generations past. Yet are these linguistic peculiarities debasing or refining language? On the one hand, slang is a gross simplification of the sophisticated properties of language. But in their own way, fad phrases take on unique and subtle connotations, effectively carving their own linguistic niche. “Lol,” increasingly pronounced as a one-syllable word as opposed to an acronym, does not merely mean something is funny; it is typically used with a touch
of cynicism, similar to the laughing-crying emoji on smart phones. “Savage” is not a direct equivalent of the word “cool;” it usually implies an edge of daring or perhaps brutality, a gutsiness or bravado about a person. In this way, linguistic fads take on life of their own. In most cases, language moves on to new experimental expressions, and formerly cutting-edge phrases fall into disuse (consider yesteryear’s “ratchet”). Every generation, however, kneads and shapes language in its own way and has a chance to leave a lasting mark on the English dictionary.

“I really like the dabbing trend that is all over the U.S. nowadays, because no matter where you are, you always have people cheering when you dab.”
JARON JIN Junior
“I don’t feel strongly about a particular trend, but I think trends are a positive thing even if they’re overdone. Things like the running man challenge and dabbing allow people to be a part of something and in turn I believe it builds a stronger sense of community.”
Liberty
EMILY WALTZER Senior
“I honestly can’t stand when people say things like ‘fam’ or ‘lit.’ There’s nothing really wrong with it, it just drives me insane.”
NICK CACCHIONE Sophomore
“I think all the dance trends like Whip and Nae Nae are really funny and people are having a lot of fun with them.”

“The recent popularization of Birkenstocks is one of my least favorite fads. In my opinion, they’re overpriced and ugly.”
DUNCAN MULLEN Senior
“I love the newly popularized words ‘fam’, ‘suh’ and ‘lit,’ because they satirize themselves. They’re ready-made comedy, no effort required.”

law enforcement officer.” Hogan is an officer with a troubled history. Hired by Tukwila in 2009, Hogan was sued twice in federal court for using excessive force. Those lawsuits cost the city $425,000 in out-of-court settlements and fees. He was fired in 2012 after an investigation into the incident at Harborview Medical Center concluded that he had used unreasonable and excessive force on the suspect. In addition to using pepper spray on a restrained suspect in the ER, he admitted to delivering three “knee-strikes” to the handcuffed man’s head while he was trying to remove him from the back seat of his patrol car, according to more than 1,000 pages of internal investigation documents on Hogan obtained by The Seattle Times. His fellow officers in Tukwila complained that he was overly aggressive, particularly toward people of color, or individuals who were inebriated. The victim in the Harborview incident, identified by the initials M.S., is AfricanAmerican and was intoxicated, according to
Tukwila police internalaffairs documents on the incident. Research by plaintiffs’ attorneys in lawsuits filed against the city indicated that Hogan had used force more often than any other officer on the Tukwila force, including incidents where he broke the elbow of a man while using an unauthorized takedown technique, and broke the leg of another man in a scuffle at a party that turned into a melee, according to reports. According to the Tukwila internal documents, on May 20, 2011, Hogan and his sergeant were dispatched to a fight outside a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant on Tukwila International Boulevard, where they found M.S. sitting on a bench with a bloody lip. M.S. was uncooperative, they said, and he was wanted on a warrant for failure to comply with his community custody on an assault charge. Hogan transported him to the King County Jail, but he was refused admittance because of the lip injury. Hogan drove M.S. to Harborview to have the lip stitched up. At the hospital, Hogan said M.S. refused to get out of the patrol car. When he tried to pull him out, Hogan said
M.S. tensed and resisted. Hogan said he could feel M.S. “trying to turn on me, so I administered approximately three knee strikes to M.S.’s head,” which he said was the only “target” available. He then pulled the handcuffed man from the car and aimed him toward the ER entrance. Hogan said M.S. was cursing and calling him names. In the ER triage area, Hogan said, M.S. again turned on him, and Hogan slammed him against a wall in the waiting room and shoved him down a hallway, where M.S. fell. Hospital security officials — who would later complain to Tukwila about Hogan’s actions — took M.S. into a small, curtained bay and restrained him hand and foot on a gurney. The reports state all of this was captured on hospital video. Hogan said he accompanied M.S. into the small treatment bay, and sat on a stool next to the gurney. Again, his report states that M.S. kept up a steady flood of profanity and threats. In a recorded statement to internal-affairs investigators, Hogan said M.S. strained against the restraints and was able to sit up and lunge at him, all the while spewing profanities.

“With each threat, he gets closer,” Hogan said. “And it’s not until he is in my space that I realize that he can get to me … but he’s close and all of a sudden I’ve got his bloody, drooling face inside my space and I think if he gets one more of these he’s going to be touching me in some way.” “So I grabbed him by the neck, pushed him back to the stretcher and apply a short burst of my [pepper spray] to him.” Nobody else in the hospital was affected by the pepper spray, according to the reports, although the ER bay was evacuated and the ventilation ducts had to be cleared. Hogan told his commander he never considered just moving away from M.S., and acknowledged that “he triggered my threat response,” according to the statement. M.S., in a recorded statement to Tukwila investigators, acknowledged that he was being verbally abusive to Hogan, but claimed it was because the officer was being rough. He claimed he never resisted, either in the back of the patrol car or in the ER. He also said he was never able to sit up on the gurney because of the restraints.“I told him, ‘you shouldn’t be an officer,’ ” M.S. told the investiga-
SNOVALLEY STAR tors. “I was using verbal language, too, like ‘you’re a bitch,’ and stuff like that. But that didn’t give him no right to — I was only saying that because he kept pushing me.” Harborview security officer Jill Burr told Tukwila investigators that Hogan slammed the handcuffed M.S. into a wall. “The patient was not trying to get away,” she said in a prepared statement. “I couldn’t believe what was going on.” She said she told Hogan, “You have to stop.” Hogan was hired by the city of Snoqualmie in 2013. Last year, Snoqualmie police officials said they were “aware of allegations” concerning Hogan, but he had ”performed in accordance with police department policies and protocol.” In March, he was suspended for 20 days without pay for having an affair with another officer’s wife. Hogan is the first police officer in Western Washington to be indicted on a charge of a criminal civil-rights violation since 2008. King County sheriff’s Deputy Brian Bonnar was accused of roughing up a woman during a 2005 arrest but was acquitted by a jury at trial. Mike Carter: 206-464-3706 or mcarter@seattletimes.com
LAWSUIT From Page 1
“intentional race discrimination” played a part in the city’s decision to cut off sewer services by November 2016. The city said at the time it would not consider a further extension of sewer services because the tribe refused to meet with the city in order to negotiate future sewer service terms. “Now that Judge Robart has rejected the tribe’s discrimination claims,” Larson said in the press release, “I’m hopeful the tribe is now ready to get to the details of its casino, hotel, conference center and retail expansion plans, and the kind and amount of sewer service they need. I encourage the tribe’s leadership to recognize that it makes more sense to do this in person rather than in a courtroom.” The tribe, however, sounded unready to end litigation. “We feel good about where we are right now,” it said in a statement, “given what we have learned in the documents the city has provided so far in the discovery process.”

Mount Si boys finish second at bi-district track and field meet BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@snovalleystar.com

Mount Si’s only scoring threat is squelched in their May 21 baseball game against Gig Harbor and the pitching of the Tides’ Michael Toglia as senior Harrison D’Anna (12) comes in from second base on a single by the Wildcats’ Reid Lutz but is tagged out at the plate by catcher Jon Burghardt.

Gig Harbor 1, Mount Si 0 BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@snovalleystar.com
In a game that meant everything to their teams’ survival, Mount Si senior Jimmy Boyce and Gig Harbor senior Michael Toglia were at their best. Batters didn’t get around quickly enough on their fastballs, didn’t square up their off-speed pitches and didn’t get them out of a comfort zone, as evidenced by the time – one hour, 15 minutes – it took to complete the Class 4A first-round state tournament game at Heritage Park in Puyallup. Boyce scattered six hits and struck out nine but Toglia tossed a three-hitter with seven strikeouts, leading the Tides to a 1-0 victory on May 21. It was a somber mood for the Wildcats (18-7) as they gathered together afterward to share hugs and handshakes with head coach
Mount Si’s track and field teams head into this week’s Class 4A state championships with confidence following their efforts at the bi-district meet, held May 18 and 20 at Lake Stevens High School. At the KingCo/Wesco bi-district championships, Mount Si was the runner-up in the boys team standings, scoring 82 points to finish behind champion Inglemoor (89). Mount Si’s girls scored 47 points and placed seventh. The Mount Si boys produced four champions as junior sprinter Jacob Belceto won the 200-meter dash (22.13 seconds), senior Truman Gray captured the shot put title (47 feet, 3 inches), senior Jacob Wachtendonk won javelin (194-5) and senior Baly Botten cleared 14 feet in pole vault. The top four finishers in each event qualified for the 4A state meet, which opened May 26 and finishes May 28 at Mount Tahoma High School in Tacoma. The Wildcats have nine qualifiers in the boys meet and four in the girls meet. Wachtendonk appears to be the program’s best chance at a state title this weekend as his latest javelin toss is good for second among 4A
athletes, about 4 feet behind Wenatchee’s Dalton Sugg. Other boys who earned spots at Mount Tahoma include freshman Joe Waskom in the 3,200 (fourth, 9:14.76), senior Andrew Harris in the 110 hurdles (third, 15:36) and Dustin Robey in javelin (second, 167-10). Belceto grabbed a berth in the 100 dash with his thirdplace time of 11.32, and the Wildcats’ 4x100 relay team also qualified for state, taking third in 43.18. Defending 4A champion Issaquah dominated the girls bi-district meet, winning the team title by 48 points over runner-up Lake Stevens. Mount Si’s girls finished just behind Eastlake while edging Woodinville and Snohomish for seventh place. Junior Hannah Waskom is headed to state in two events, finishing second in the 3,200 (10:48.46) and third in the 1,600 (4:59.51). The Wildcats will have two long jumpers at state as freshman Tatum Dalgleish took third at bi-districts (16-5 ½) and senior Lauren Rutherford was fourth (16-0 ½). Seniors Melissa Hruska and Curstyn Williamson are state alternates after finishing fifth in their respective events. Hruska ran the 3,200 in 10:58.14 and Williamson recorded a mark of 26.70 in the 200 dash.

group of kids.” After taking out Newport, Skyline and Woodinville during the KingCo tournament, the Wildcats restored some of the confidence and momentum they built during a 15-2 start to the season. They had high hopes of knocking out Gig Harbor, which finished third in 4A last season, but the Tides took an
early lead against Boyce and never let go of it. In the top of the first inning, the Tides produced a two-out rally as Toglia, a UCLA signee, singled and stole second base. Jon Burghardt walked and Chad Stephens doubled to the left-field fence. Toglia scored standing up and although Gavin Gorrell, Mason Marenco and Lutz
executed a relay play to nail Burghardt at the plate, the damage was done. “It was a good pitch, down and in, but he just squared it up, got a nice hit,” Lutz said of Stephens’ double. “It was a great pitch,” Habben added. “The kid put a good swing on it. They got one timely hit and that was the difference in the game.”

Mount Si managed only three singles against Toglia, a lanky lefthander who led the Tides to the Narrows League title. Two of those hits came in the second inning. Harrison D’Anna rolled a ball through the left side and moved to second on Owen Roche’s groundout. With two outs, Reid Lutz singled to center field, but Gig Harbor’s RJ Green quickly fielded the ball and made a strong throw to Burghardt, who had plenty of time to tag out D’Anna. That was the only time the Wildcats threatened. They didn’t get anyone else past first base and Toglia retired the last 10 batters. “We tried to have a have a different approach going in against him – up and on the plate, make the outside the middle,” Habben explained. “He just did a good job spotting up different inside, outside, offspeed (locations).

This weekend’s final four in Pasco will feature two KingCo teams as Skyline faces Wenatchee and Woodinville takes on Kentwood. Mount Si will lose seven seniors – including Boyce, D’Anna and Reid Lutz – but have several key players eligible to return and will look to replicate their success in 2017. “The attitude was 100 times better this year,” Justin Lutz said of the turnaround. “The seniors, they came in and they just changed the whole face of the program. It’s a great senior class.”

JazzClubs NW finds new in home Piccola
A new partnership between JazzClubs NW and Piccola Cellars will keep the music alive and well in North Bend. The North Bend City Council voted May 17 to approve lease agreements between the jazz organization and the winery, which also hosts a tasting room and occasional music events
at the old North Bend firehouse, 112 West 2nd Street. The agreement expands the size of the rental space from the existing two bays to four bays within the firehouse to accommodate a new performance space and eventually, a restaurant. The changes include a second bathroom, various new walls for a dining area and removing some walls
to better connect the spaces. The Jazz Club has provided numerous economic benefits to the city, namely the annual Blues Walk and Jazz Walk that draw crowds of thousands each year.
