District Court Resource Center to host second employer outreach event

November 22, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

WorkSource has teamed up with Pierce County’s District Court Resource Center to host their second “Employer of the Day” event Friday, Nov. 30 from 8:30 to 11 a.m. This monthly event connects community job seekers with employers who have essential positions to fill. The event is free and open to the public to attend.

November’s featured employer, CDI-Custom Curb Adapters, is a second chance friendly company in Fife looking to hire general laborers, welders, and press brake operators.

The first “Employer of the Day” event in October attracted 31 job seekers — almost double what event planners anticipated – even securing interviews for many, less than two weeks since the event. The results inspired WorkSource to continue hosting the event at the Resource Center monthly, to allow employers with jobs to fill, the opportunity to link up with job seekers about position needs, answer questions about open positions and hiring process, accept applications, and even interview and hire on the spot.

Future “Employer of the Day” event dates will be posted on the District Court Resource Center’s calendar. The Pierce County District Court Resource Center is located at 901 Tacoma Ave S. in Tacoma

Washington issues its first marijuana research license

November 22, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

The Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board says it has issued the state’s first license to grow marijuana for research.

Verda Bio Research in Seattle says it will be growing cannabis to conduct basic research on some of the plant’s lesser-known compounds.Chief Executive Jessica Tonani says Verda intends to breed cannabis plants to emphasize compounds that currently exist only at low levels, so that those compounds can then be studied for potential therapeutic uses.

In addition to meeting the same requirements as other marijuana businesses, applications for research licenses are subject to an independent scientific review.

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law, which has long hindered researchers’ access to the plant.

Some states that have legalized marijuana, including Washington, Oregon and Colorado, are offering cannabis research licenses as a way to improve access within their states.

Out Of Sight Out Of Mind and Out Of MINE – Car break-in numbers increase during the holiday season

November 22, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

Law enforcement says car break-in numbers increase during the holiday season, and they want to make sure you keep your belongings stay yours this year.

Police says they see about a 25% increase in car break-in crimes related to the holidays. “There’s just a piece of glass between them and 200 bucks they’re going to take it,”  He says so often victims are surprised when it happens to them, but these crimes happen every year.

Here are ways that you can avoid being a victim this holiday season. Law enforcement says to remember the 3 S’s.

Scan: Scan the contents of your vehicle. Are there items visible that would be of interest to a criminal?

Stow: Discreetly stow everything out of sight; you don’t want someone to SEE YOU placing something in your trunk. Do NOT use a blanket or coat to cover valuables, this piques the interest of a prowler.

Secure: Close windows and lock your vehicle.

Other ways to stay safe this holiday:

  • Consider using the mall’s Valet parking service if it offers one.
  • Make a note of your parking spot so that you don’t have to wander around the parking lot after shopping.
  • Have your keys in your hand before leaving the mall and walk purposely to your car.
  • Make sure nobody is in the car before entering and lock the doors immediately when you get inside.
  • If you are leaving a mall alone at night, you may request a security escort to your car.
  • At an Automated Teller Machine (ATM), choose one that is located inside a mall, grocery store, or well-lighted location. Withdraw only the amount of cash you need. Shield the ATM keypad from anyone who is standing near you so they cannot view your transaction or obtain your PIN. Do not throw your ATM receipt away.
  • Don’t display large sums of cash in public. Be discreet about money or other valuables you are carrying.
  • Be alert in public restrooms. If anything seems amiss or if a group of people is loitering in the area, leave quickly and find another facility.
  • Stay alert in crowds to protect your valuables. A thief can use the cover of the crowd to make a quick getaway after stealing your wallet or shopping bag.
  • Take only the credit cards you NEED for shopping, leave the rest at home.
  • Women, carry your purses close to your body and separate your cash from your credit cards.
  • Men, consider carrying your wallet in a front pocket and/or adding a large rubber band around it so if a thief tries to swipe it, it will get caught on the pocket.
  • Don’t keep your keys in your purse. If your purse is stolen, then the thief will have your address and keys to your home. Keep your keys in your pocket without an ID.

If you’re doing online shopping, law enforcement suggests not shipping items to an empty home. Packages sitting on a front porch is an easy target for crooks, they say.

“Thankful to still have each other.” An electric space heater sparked the fire that burned their home down

November 22, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

The love Anthony Moore has for Delores Palmer burns hotter than the fire that destroyed the couple’s home. The couple lost most of their possessions in the Thursday morning fire. But they still have each other. “I won’t coming out there without her,” Moore told WTVR. “I would have died getting her out.”

An electric space heater sparked the fire that burned their home down, the couple said. Moore said Palmer was in the kitchen when he spotted the fire.
By the time he warned her to move away, the fire had spread.
“I ran down the hall, tried to throw water on it and I ran out the door to get the water hose to hook that up to try to use the water hose to put it out,” she said.
But when it was obvious the fire was not going out, Palmer refused to go outside.

“I told her come on, ain’t no more we could do,” Moore said. “But every time I tried to get her, she’d run back and the smoke had crowded us so bad.”
“I was still trying to get in there to get my important things,” she said.
But Moore was insistent that his love escape their burning home.

“I just asked God to let me drag her out of there, so that’s what I did to get her out of there,” he added. While the couple – who does not have any homeowners’ insurance – lost their possessions, they were thankful to still have each other.

“I would have lost my life for her,” Moore said. “That’s how much I love her.”

If You Want APPLES, You Have To Shake The Trees – Washington and Washington State and a lot is on the line

November 22, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

Several dozen of those Inland Northwest fans who claim the purple and gold, rather than the crimson and gray, will pack into a charter ready to make the 75-mile trek to cheer for the underdog Washington Huskies in the 111th edition of the Apple Cup.

It’s Apple Cup weekend.

This will be the 111th matchup between the football teams from Washington and Washington State and a lot is on the line, with the winner claiming the Pac-12 North title.

The game kicks off at 5:30 p.m. in Pullman and will be broadcast on Q13 Fox.

Here’s a look at a few historical numbers ahead of the big game:

  • Washington leads the series 72-32-6.
  • The first meeting between the two was a 5-5 tie in 1900.
  • The Huskies have won five in a row and eight of nine games in the series.
  • WSU coach Mike Leach is 1-5 in Apple Cups. UW coach Chris Petersen is 4-0.
  • UW holds the longest winning streak, twice winning eight in a row (1959-66 and 74-81).
  • The Cougars longest streak is two in a row, which they have done eight times.
  • The largest margin of victory for either team came in 2000, when UW won 51-3.
  • They’ve met 17 times off campus (Spokane 16, CenturyLink 1).
  • This will be the eighth meeting when both teams are ranked in the AP Poll, and third in a row.

“I’ve had people calling this week to see if there’s room, which is great,” said Stephanie Fleisher, a 2008 graduate of the University of Washington who serves as assistant director of Spokane and Eastern Washington relations for the school. “We have Husky fans coming from Southern California to ride the bus.”

Such road trips have been infrequent in recent years, said Steve Lamberson, a local attorney and UW alumnus from 1978. Lamberson estimated he’d been to 40 Apple Cups over the years, including the contests in the early and middle 2000s when the two teams taking the field hadn’t performed anywhere close to the two top-15 powers that will battle Friday night.

“From 2000 to 2015 – we called them the dark years,” Lamberson said. “The Huskies just went through numerous coaches.”

The Huskies won 10 of those 15 contests but fell in the 2008 game in Pullman to round out the first winless season in Pac 12 play in 28 years. Known colloquially as the “Crapple Cup,” because Washington State’s victory only pushed them to two wins on the season, most Husky fans say now they’re just happy Friday’s game will take on some meaning.

“I’m glad we’re a long way from that scenario,” said Mark Ostersmith, a 1990 graduate of UW who now is the chapter lead for the school’s alumni association in Spokane.

Ostersmith won’t be watching the game in Pullman – he has Thanksgiving plans with the in-laws. But don’t count the Spokane native among those who hope for a close contest. Even with the compelling story of WSU’s breakout star quarterback, and a season that has defied all expectations for the Cougars, Ostersmith wants a blowout.

“Some people say, ‘I just want it to be a good game,’ ” he said. “To heck with that, I want to win by 40 every time.”

That sentiment is shared by father and son Jay and Brayden Underwood, who will both be traveling to Pullman on Friday, but not on the alumni bus. The pair said they wanted a big Husky win, but acknowledged that WSU had earned its national prominence by performing at a high level all year.

“I live here, so I’m one of those Husky fans that, I don’t always root for the Cougars but I have actually rooted for them this year and it’s been a lot of fun,” said Jay Underwood. “I am envious.”

“I’m optimistic that the Cougs aren’t really as good as they look, and that the Huskies – ” Jay Underwood continued, before his son cut him off on the phone line.

“Well, we’re really only a few plays away from having the same record as them,” Brayden Underwood, a 2016 graduate of the university who now lives in Seattle, said. “It’s all just kinda crazy how college football works in that sense. For me, I don’t know if I’d say I’m envious.”

Most Husky fans agreed while there’s some good-natured ribbing between the two fan bases in Spokane, it’s not as difficult to cheer for their alma mater in Eastern Washington as in other rivalries.

“One thing the Cougars and Huskies share in common is their hatred for Oregon,” said Jay Underwood. “But I think there’s no denying that the Cougar/Husky rivalry is bigger than that, we just don’t like to admit it.”

Lamberson said in his many visits to Pullman over the years as a Husky fan he’s never faced any unreasonable heckling.

“It’s hostile, in a good-natured, good-spirited way,” Lamberson said.

Ostersmith remembered back to growing up as a Husky fan in Spokane, and how his brother, Sean Smith, reacted following a Cougar upset victory. He estimated it was the 1982 contest, when Washington State knocked off the heavily favored, fifth-ranked Husky squad 24-20 in Pullman to deny the favorites a trip to the Rose Bowl.

“All these Cougs came out of the woodwork,” Ostersmith remembered, laughing. “And my brother wrote this poem, ‘Ode to the Closet Coug.’ I think it was therapeutic for him.”

The Husky faithful all agreed making a clear prediction in what promises to be an Apple Cup for the ages was difficult.

“I hope it’s a blowout,” Ostersmith said. “But, if you asked me, gun to my head, I have no clue how this game is going to go.”

No. 3 Gonzaga holds off top-ranked Duke 89-87 for Maui title

November 22, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

Gonzaga found itself in the same position as Duke’s first five opponents: appearing helpless as the Blue Devils and their rim-rattling freshmen ran past and flew over them.

The Zags never panicked, never looked up in awe at the bouncy Blue Devils. They have too much experience to get rattled, even against college basketball’s most talked-about team.

Playing with poise and grit down the stretch, No. 3 Gonzaga turned back top-ranked Duke’s late-game charge to win the Maui Invitational title game 89-97 on Wednesday.

“Experience plays a big role in this,” said Gonzaga guard Zach Norvell Jr., who had 18 points. “We came down the stretch and got some stops. We knew we were winning it on the defensive end.”

Gonzaga (6-0) put on an offensive show in the first half and battened down on defense after Duke made a second-half charge, blocking four shots in the final 46 seconds to win its second Maui title.

Rui Hachimura scored 20 points and the Zags beat a No. 1 team for the first time while ending the Blue Devils’ unbeaten streak on the Valley Isle (17-1).

Dubbed a Final Four contender when Killie Tillie returns, Gonzaga already looks like one — even with one of their best players on the bench in a walking boot.

“The lights were on us tonight and we played good, which you have to against Duke,” Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. “You have to pretty much play great. I thought we played great.”

Five-time Maui champion Duke (5-1) made it look easy the season’s first five games, its fantastic freshmen soaring through the spotlight, not cowering away from it while looking all but unbeatable.

The experienced Zags gave them a lesson in ball movement, orchestrating a master class in free-flowing, position-less basketball while building a 14-point first-half lead.

Duke’s Maui run, done.

Well, not just yet.

The Blue Devils fell behind by 16 in the second half before firing up the Blue Devil express with a series of head-above-the-rim dunks and drives.

Taking advantage of Gonzaga big man Brandon Clarke’s fourth foul, Duke pulled within a basket as Blue Devils fans sent an earthquake of noise off the rafters of tiny Lahaina Civic Center.

Hachimura put Gonzaga up 89-87 with a strong move at the basket with 75 seconds left, but the Zags kept giving Duke chances by missing four free throws. Clarke clanked two with 30 seconds left and Hachimura came up empty on two more with 10 seconds left.

Gonzaga’s defense made up for it.

Hachimuru and Clarke each had two blocked shots in the final minute, capped by Clarke’s swat of R.J. Barrett’s driving attempt at the buzzer.

A seated Barrett raised his arms, wondering why no foul was called. The Zags leaped in celebration after a game with a Final Four feel packaged in a small-town rec center.

Barrett had 23 points and Zion Williamson scored 22 for the suddenly humbled Blue Devils.

“We finally started to fight in the last 14 minutes, whereas before we had just come to play and we weren’t as emotionally ready as Gonzaga,” said Duke’s Javin DeLaurier, who had six points and six rebounds.

This was the game everyone expected when the Maui Invitational got another marquee title game between the what-will-they-do-next Blue Devils against the electrically efficient Zags.

Duke and its future lottery picks steamrolled San Diego State and outlasted No. 8 Auburn to reach its sixth Maui title game in six years. Gonzaga survived Illinois’ frenetic attack and put on a second-half show to beat Arizona in the semifinals.

The Blue Devils ran roughshod over one top-5 team to open the season, making then-No. 2 Kentucky look like a JV team.

The Zags not only didn’t back down, they threw the first punch.

Forcing Duke defenders through one ball screen after another, Gonzaga played the position-less basketball game better than the Blue Devils. The Zags all but took Duke big man Marques Bolden, who had seven blocked shots in the semifinals, out of the game with their ball movement and created numerous open looks for themselves.

“They were just dictating the flow,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I mean we were not playing good defense, but they were playing great offense.”

When Clarke went to the bench with his fourth foul midway through the second half, Gonzaga went into a stall. Duke put together a run, a sixth Maui title within reach.

The Zags swatted Duke’s bid away.

Mariners prospects learn value of giving back Community work starts at the Minor League level

November 22, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

Youngsters learn the fundamentals at Manny Acta’s camp

For the past seven weeks, a group of 46 players, including many of the Mariners’ top young prospects took part in a High Performance Camp at the club’s Spring Training facility in Peoria, Ariz.

Players used the time to expand their minds in mental-skills and meditation classes. They refined their bodies with a heavy dose of weight-room work. For the most part, the focus wasn’t on hitting and pitching in the immediate aftermath of their long seasons, but on thinking and conditioning.

Yet, not all the work revolved around helping themselves and their budding careers. For the Mariners, helping others is part of the process, as well. Which is why the entire group spent one day at a food bank packing Thanksgiving meals for the homeless, another at a local park playing baseball with kids with disabilities in a Miracle League program and another taking part in a Phoenix Alzheimer’s Association walk to raise funds for teammate Braden Bishop’s 4MOM charity.

“It’s just to remember that not everything is about you,” said 20-year-old third baseman Joe Rizzo, the Mariners’ No. 15 ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline. “As players for the Mariners, we’re very privileged to have what we have, and do what we do. So going out and helping people in the community is a good reminder that we can help others, too.”

Mariners prospects joined others at the Phoenix Alzheimer’s Association fundraiser.

Rizzo returned Saturday to his offseason home in Virginia, where he was greeted by snow in the air and a reminder that Thanksgiving is near. And he carried that fresh reminder of what the holiday spirit is about.

“It’s fun working with kids and helping people,” he said. “I’m not big on charity events just to put pictures on social media and all that, because that just puts it back on you. But to spread joy to others, that’s a great feeling.”

And that is music to the ears of Andy McKay, Seattle’s director of player development, who is a big believer in the benefit of teaching young players the positive impact of helping others as they are integrated into the Mariners’ system.

McKay said community service has been a “major year-round push” throughout all levels of the organization, with an extra effort recently at the High Performance Camp in Arizona as well as in the Dominican Republic last week where bench coach Manny Acta’s foundation, ImpACTA, put on a clinic for 90 kids with help from the Mariners.

McKay said the benefits are two-fold for both the young prospects and the Mariners’ organization.

“One, it’s the right thing to do,” he said. “There’s a lot of people that need help and we’re trying to provide services. And two, we’re trying to develop character in our people. In their, at times, individualized pursuit of getting to the big leagues, which is perfectly understandable, you have to balance that with activities that remind it’s not always about yourself.”

McKay was hired as farm director by Jerry Dipoto three years ago and said Dipoto encouraged the community involvement from day one. It helped immensely, he said, that the Mariners already had a strong history of community service at the Major League level and longtime Mariners like Dan Wilson and others already had deep connections in that area.

Now young players like Rizzo, Bishop and the rest are quickly learning the value of community involvement as well.

“Our guys now know, especially ones that have been here, that it’s part of the program,” McKay said. “You find people that have different niches. There’s different ways to help. Not everybody is comfortable reading a book in front of a first-grade class. And that’s OK.

“But between schools, hospitals, building houses with Habitat for Humanity, there’s lots of ways to get that internal reward of feeling good about yourself for helping others and that begins to build over into teams. Who can I help today in the locker room to make our team better?”

Rizzo spent his regular season with Class A Advanced Modesto in the Cal League and said his club did work nearly every week with the area Boys & Girls Club and also took part, en masse, in a Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event to raise awareness of domestic violence.

He said when he was drafted out of high school in the second round by the Mariners in 2016, he knew charity work was done by Major League stars, but has been surprised to see the emphasis runs throughout the entire system.

“I didn’t know it was such an organizational thing,” Rizzo said. “I knew a lot of higher-up guys did stuff that way. I didn’t know it spread so deep.”

Jimmy Van Ostrand, who oversees mental-skills coaching throughout the Mariners’ Minor League system, said the focus on community-service work and developing leadership skills is one of his favorite parts of the job.

“It can be humbling at times,” Van Ostrand said. “The ability to have a positive impact on other people can really shine through. Sometimes we picture that being these huge, crazy activities and fundraisers. But a lot of time, if you just help somebody’s day a little, that can go a long way.”

Four Seahawks Do Not Participate Ahead Of Sunday’s Game at Panthers

November 22, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

Practice photos from (Rod Mar) the Seahawks’ Wednesday workout at Virginia Mason Athletic Center ahead of Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.

The Seahawks held four players from practice on Wednesday, the team’s second workout of the week as it readies for Sunday’s road game against the Carolina Panthers.

Linebacker K.J. Wright (knee), wideout Doug Baldwin (groin), defensive end Dion Jordan (knee), and cornerback Justin Coleman (not injury related) did not participate in practice Wednesday. Safeties Delano Hill (quadriceps) and Bradley McDougald (knee) were limited, as were defensive tackle Shamar Stephen (foot), guard D.J. Fluker (knee), and running back Mike Davis (knee).

On Wright, who was held out of last week’s game against Green Bay, Seattle head coach Pete Carroll offered “he’s working his way back” when asked about Wright’s status on Tuesday. Baldwin, meanwhile, was held out of Wednesday’s workout but prior to Tuesday’s practice Carroll said the receiver heads into the Week 12 matchup against Carolina feeling “the best he’s felt.”

“He feels great,” Carroll said of Baldwin on Tuesday. “He really feels great and I talked to him this morning. He really feels the best he’s felt. He really doesn’t have any concerns right now at all so he’s practicing hard and working hard and really energized by that.”

The Seahawks are off Thursday for Thanksgiving and will return to work for a Friday practice before boarding a plane for Charlotte Friday afternoon.

Here’s Wednesday’s practice report for both teams:

El Centro De La Raza & EPA Celebrates Air & Noise Project on December 2 With City Funding for 2019 UW Air & Noise Study

November 21, 2018 by NWFacts Leave a Comment

December 2, at the Centralia Cultural Center, El Centro De La Raza and
EPA will celebrate the results of its environmental justice (EJ) air and noise pollution
health impacts project with Beacon Hill community members. The program will be
from 2:30 to 5 p.m. with light dinner and networking until 6:30 p.m.
Fighting air and noise pollution is a long and arduous journey. During the past 2
years, the El Centro de la Raza and EPA collaboration increased Beacon Hill
community awareness of the issues and helped develop the Community Action Plan.
In 2017, the EJ Project shared environmental and health information with 467 Beacon
Hill community members in 6 languages at 24 meetings to obtain input into the
Community Action Plan (CAP). In 2018, it funded air and noise sampling and
measurement of community projects from Cleveland High School Environmental Club,
Beacon Arts and Community Noise Measurement Team. The results of their work
will be presented at the December 2 Celebration.
The value of the Community Action Plan became immediately apparent when the
Seattle Tacoma Airport (Sea-Tac) announced its plan to expand airport facilities to
accommodate the doubling of international flights, the tripling of air cargo, and
passenger increase from 47 million in 2017 to 66 million passengers in 2034. In
the effect, this is a climate change issue.
Residents are already highly concerned that airplanes fly over Beacon Hill every 1.5
to 3 minutes. Beacon Hill sits right under the flight and landing path for airplanes.
Recent sampling data from the Cleveland High School Project indicated average
noise levels in the 80+ decibels with maximum noise in the ’90s. Allowable City and County noise limit is 55 decibels during the day and 45 at night.
El Centro de la Raza requested SeaTac to include in its airport expansion EIS
(environmental impact statement): 1) an assessment of the impacts on human health
and the environment, 2) a review of Beacon Hill’s eligibility for mitigation because
of the flight and landing paths are fixed over Beacon Hill that makes it a “vertical”
fence line community, 3) an environmental justice review per Executive Order
12898, Order 5610.2 FAADR, and 4) an alternative to the SeaTac expansion that
includes a multi-airport regional system.El Centro de la Raza also received from the City of Seattle funds for a 2019 UW quantitative Air
& Noise Study and translation/interpretation capacity for community engagement. Along with
the local community scientists lived-experience exploratory air and noise measurements and Dr.
Bill Daniell’s pro bono community health indicators review, Beacon Hill will be able to
effectively comment on the airport expansion EIS.
El Centro de la Raza’s environmental justice mantra is “Equal benefits. Equal burdens.” with a
healthy dose of “Si se puede.” “Yes, we can.”
Join El Centro De La Raza and EPA on December 2 to celebrate EJ Project accomplishments
and learn what other neighborhoods are doing. To RSVP, go to
