We always try upon impress to our clients the importance of working with us to develop a complete marketing ecosystem: website, social media, photos, video, and copy. As all of these elements are interconnected and impact each other, it’s important to ensure that each are considered and built with the other in mind when they are being developed or produced, and never in a silo. (read more about ecosystems here). Connecting dots between these different channels and utilizing the assets across the entire ecosystem is the most effective to getting your message across. It's considered best practice, but sometimes we find that our clients are so busy or mired in the details that they have a hard time looking at their project through the 50ft lens, which lucky for them is just a part of our process before commencing any work.
With our good friends over at Parker Services, a local, high-end plumbing company featured in some of the city's best restaurants and homes, we got to work on the complete creative suite together. From cooking up a new brand identity, portfolio photos, optimized social pages and a fresh website, to SEO-friendly site copy, team uniforms and vehicle graphics, we worked head-to-toe with Parker Services. We saw an opportunity to develop a visual and voice narrative that stood out from the competition, drawing on brands outside of their industry for inspiration.
While it's sometimes easier to piece-meal projects together, both mentally and budgetarily, there is a greater risk of working off a disjointed ecosystem. From imagery and video, to copy and graphic assets, optimizing all your channels to work together is the best way to get the most bang for your buck. Check out some of the work we did for Parker Services below, as well as the process we took to get to our end result.
We started with a simple brand identity that spoke to their customer and a heritage feel.
Next we went and shot photos of their latest projects, like Optimism Brewery.
As well as their fine work in private residences.
Then we used their new photo assets to create a slick and manageable website.
And optimized their social media channels.
And nothing says "plumbing company" without some good t-shirts, hoodies, and hats for the crew.
Nate Parker, of Parker Services looks pretty good in his signature jacket and hat, in front of their custom van.
A few weeks back we got to work with one of our favorite clients, Therm-a-Rest, on a series of product videos shot in the North Cascades. If you've never been to the North Cascades, going during fall may be one of the best times to go, but any time of year is worth a visit. We used the quaint and scenic town of Mazama as a basecamp for the week's shoot, which is gorgeous in and of itself, and headed into the hills for three days of on-location action.
We feel lucky to be able to call this work, and even luckier to share these adventures with a crew we get to call friends. Stay tuned for the final videos once they are released, but in the meantime check out some behind-the-scenes photos.
Location scouting days aren't so bad when this is the destination.
Six inches off the ground, or six feet? It's all in your head.
It's well worth waking up at the crack of dawn to capture time lapses from a place like this.
This crew is tight. Like too many people cramped in a #vanlife tight.
Katie is busy setting up the Ronin while Penny poses in the background for an unknown photographer.
It's not all fun and games on a shoot, but a lot of the times it is.
Everyone busy setting up the campsite scene.
Heading downhill for a two mile hike back from our high-alpine location.
Earlier this summer we were fortunate to be able to work with our friends at Therma-a-Rest to produce their latest brand video. After a weekend spent in Leavenworth hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and hanging around a roaring campfire, this is what we came away with. The only thing better than getting to work on projects like this is working on them with some of your best friends.
It's been an incredible year almost now that we've been working with these guys and it has been fun to offer our full suite of services and watch all of our hard work come to life! Recently we shot some photos for a new campaign launch up in Bellingham, Washington for their me and GO line of insoles and finally got to see the print collateral come together! Check it out!
As cliche as it may be, we at WAU tend to refer to each other as Swiss Army knives. Complete with a wide range of different tools and functions, adept at handling many different situations, and always able to open a bottle. A perfect example of this broad, yet sharp skill set comes from Ben Lindbloom. In addition to crushing his daily Social Strategist & Client Manager duties, Ben is our principal photographer. Over the last year, Ben's photography skills have hit puberty and blossomed while creating high quality images for many WAU clients as well as for his side projects.
There's so much to say about this one but right now we are incredibly inspired by and proud of his continued work with famed heritage outdoor brand, Filson. Ben's photos have begun to grace both catalog and web pages. Check out some of his work below, on his website, and keep an eye out for Filson's latest print catalogs. With an ever growing adoration for the brand, it has been a privilege and adventure traveling across the plains of Montana, the mountain ranges of Alaska and his very own backyard of the Snoqualmie Pass. Can not wait to see where the next adventure takes him! Take a look at some pictures from his latest shoot in AK, and follow him on instagram.
Plants, animals, water, and us humans are all connected through an important and intricate ecosystem. Remove a species of plants and a species of animals will fail, poison the water and we’ll all have a hard time. The marketing ecosystem is no different. From social media sites, websites, email newsletters, and brick and mortar locations, connecting and utilizing these different channels the best way possible is key to getting your message across.
While not nearly as important to our survival and existence as the natural world’s ecosystem, recognizing and leveraging the balance between different marketing channels is key to a successful marketing campaign. A strong campaign hits the mark across all social media channels: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Friendster, and works in conjunction with your other marketing messages like email, your website, in-store POP, etc..
Learning how to leverage, keep track of, and sync up all of your channels is the hard part, but not impossible. It’s not just giant brands with huge marketing budgets making the most noise on the internet, anyone can leverage the tools at their fingertips. With the right goals and intentions in mind, they can inspire masses to take action. Spend time to identify what your message and intended output for your social campaign needs to look like, and look at how to use each of your channels uniquely to push that message. Tailoring those messages to the audience and the channel with an appropriate call to action is key to gaining any traction from your campaign.
These days, there are a lot of marketing buzzwords floating around, (like ecosystem!) and even more people who throw them in conversation to sound intelligent, but being able to execute a plan that works with the ecosystem is another thing. With the right guidance, planning, and an understanding of best practices per channel, even the smallest businesses can launch a colossal marketing campaign. Interested in learning more or extending the reach of your current ecosystem? Hit us up! We’d be more than happy to help!
The balance between your caffeine, alcohol and water intake.
Eating enough fruits and vegetables to balance out that frozen pizza diet.

A professional in every sense of the word, Kimmy Fasani is a true Outlier. Not only one of the most talented female snowboarder of all time, but a stand up citizen and a role model for all. After a pretty bad injury a couple years ago, she could have easily hung up her hat and took it easy, but she rose to the challenge and rehabbed past what her doctors could have ever expected. In the process, she not only was able to snowboard again, but she discovered new passions like mountain biking and rock climbing and became a more well-rounded athlete. In addition to all of this, she is also one of the nicest and most genuine people you could ever hope to meet. She was generous enough to make some time during a trans-oceanic flight to catch up with us about her recovery, filming with her skier husband, Chris Benchetler, and her budding triathlon career.
[Outliers] Being an outlier is pretty important to taking on a career as a professional snowboarder, do you think it was in your DNA to be an outlier, or was it a conscious choice you made to be different?
[Kimmy] I grew up knowing I always wanted to do something unordinary. I loved pushing myself and I was pretty fearless, so it seemed natural to be an Outlier.
[O] You suffered through a couple years of injuries lately, but now you seem to be stronger than ever, that has to be brutal, both emotionally and physically. As someone who depends on their body for their paychecks, what goes through your mind and how do you stay motivated through recovery?
[K] I have gone through a lot of changes and growth in the past three years, and my injury was a big part of that. Just when I thought I had a good balance with my snowboarding, progressing my riding, and my sponsors, I had a major injury take place. The most important thing for me was to stay positive and focus on the day-to-day tasks of rehabilitation and healing. When my doctor said most athletes may not recovery 100% from what I had done to my body, I chose to be the small percentage that would recover beyond 100%.
I worked so hard to get back to full strength, both physically and mentally. I really had to detach from all the goals I had before I got hurt, and realign myself with things that were going to be realistic with my year off snow and a slow progression back into this sport that brought me so much happiness. I tried not to stress too much about my contracts and their longevity because those were elements I could not be in control of, all I could control was my rehab process.
[O] You spent some of your time away from the snow getting into biking and even ending up doing a triathlon, did you ever see yourself getting into that realm? Did your recovery time open those doors?
[K] I had always wanted to do a triathlon and decided it was a fun, very ambitious, but a great goal to check off while I had to be off the hill. Biking and this triathlon gave me a way to see growth and progression as I recovered. They helped me mentally realize I could do anything I put my mind to.
[O] What was it like to get involved with another sector of the active lifestyle industry? Did you notice any major cultural differences between the two sports?
[K] Getting the chance to work with Chris MacCormmick, a professional triathlete, was really cool and inspiring. There are so many ways to push our minds and bodies, and being able to test out my abilities in that arena was a great experience. We share a lot of similarities in how we all push through challenges. I would love to continue to do triathlons for this reason.
[O] In addition to snowboarding and cycling, you seem to be a very active rock climber and hiker, how do those activities help your snowboarding?
[K] Rock climbing and hiking have been really fun activities to keep me outside during the off-season. Both these sports help keep me mentally and physically challenged and strong. They help me stay in the moment and great ways to spend time in the mountains and in nature. Climbing was pretty intimidating to get into because there were a lot of elements I had to trust before I felt comfortable on the rock, and I had to learn to trust my gear (harness, ropes, and belayer). I love climbing because it forces me to be present and stay in the moment. It’s a very mental sport; if your mind isn’t in the right place you may not make it up the route.
Hiking and trail running are other hobbies because I love seeing the mountains by trail. It’s serene, peaceful, and also exhilarating and exhausting. I have a deep appreciation for being able to use my body to its fullest capacity since I got hurt. These two outlets are my favorite ways to stay in shape.
[O] Your health and healthy living seem to be a big aspect of your life, is that a byproduct of getting older, or is it pretty much mandatory to being a professional athlete these days?
[K] I think living a healthy and active life is something we all learn through experience. I have had a lot of people in my family struggle or pass away from cancer, and I want to do as much as possible to stay healthy in the hopes of avoiding it myself. I also find that living a healthy lifestyle makes me and my body feel good. I try to live life to the fullest and eat everything in moderation because of the things I have seen or have gone through personally. I think it’s important to be aware of what we are putting in our bodies, but I don’t think it’s mandatory to be “healthy" to be a snowboarder. However, being healthy and staying fit will probably give some riders more longevity in their careers. I especially noticed that being strong and having a healthy diet before I got hurt helped tremendously as I recovered.
[O] It must be hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle when you spend most of the year traveling around the world, what are some of the things you do that other people could work into their lives to stay healthy?
[K] Creating a routine while on the road has been really important to maintaining my lifestyle. I always have healthy snacks in my bag and I try to eat pure, unpackaged foods as much as possible. I try to eat mostly organic, and personally have chosen to limit my meat intake unless I know where the meat is from.
As for activity, I always have my running shoes in my bag. Since filming in the backcountry is pretty hard on my body with the hiking, sledding, falling, etc, I don’t stress too much about working out in a gym everyday during winter. If I have a have a handful of down days in a row while waiting for weather to clear, I will go bouldering or workout in a local gym.
[O] Last season, you filmed with your husband, pro skier Chris Benchetler, and the Nimbus Independent crew, how did that arrangement come about? Was that the first time you have had the chance to film with your husband?
[K] It was a really great experience being able to film with Chris and his crew last season. I was having a hard time finding a place on a backcountry crew and these guys were awesome to let me tag along with them. That was the first time Chris and I had spent continuous time in the backcountry together. There were times where we would look at each other standing at the top of a jump and we would just start laughing because we got to share our passions for the mountains and winter sports together.
[O] Did you notice any differences between filming with skiers and filming with snowboarders?
[K] Filming with snowboarders and skiers has a lot of similarities, like terrain and feature choices. However, skiers can generate speed more quickly on an in-run to a jump than a snowboarder because of their poles and being able to skate with their skis. Therefore, some of the jumps and lines skiers pick can have limitations for a snowboarder.
[O] A lot of women and girls look to you as an inspiration, which must be flattering, but who do you look up to and why? Have you had a chance to meet any of your role models the way people get to meet you and get inspired?
[K] I am always very humbled and flattered when others tell me I have inspired them. Some of my biggest role models have been men and women who step outside the norm and have overcome challenges, which have led them to success. I can’t say I have one specific role model, but I am constantly being inspired by others who live life with a positive and ambitious attitude.
[O] Burton released your full part from the 2014 season, which must have been a relief after being out of the action for so long, are you proud of what you were able to put out?
[K] I am so grateful to have something to show for last season and even though my segment wasn’t my best snowboarding or filled with new tricks, I am proud that I was able to get back on my board and push myself out of my comfort zone while staying healthy. My injury played a big toll on my mind, and more than anything I just wanted to know that I could come back and be comfortably scared again. I really struggled to land tricks last year and I think part of it was that my body wasn't ready or strong enough to be hitting the jumps I was hitting. Mentally I had to try, and falling made me realize I was going to be okay! I’m hoping that this season I can start trying new tricks and showcasing the type of riding I know I am capable of.
[O] Can you tell us what you have in store for this season?
[K] This season I will be building a video part for the Transworld Snowboarding movie, which is really exciting! I just arrived in Japan with the Nimbus Independent crew and will spend majority of my season with them again. I am just trying to wait to see what Mother Nature does with snow and let my travel plans be dictated by her weather patterns.
[O] If you could travel back in time and talk to 14-year old Kimmy, what do you think she would think of this woman standing before her? Is there anything you would want to tell her?
[K] 14-year old Kimmy would be astonished that all of her childhood dreams have been fulfilled and that she could accomplish so much in life and snowboarding. At 14-years old my dad had just passed away and I was a mess. I was pretty challenging for my mom and snowboarding was honestly what kept me out of a lot of trouble. At that point in my life I had two choices, one was to stay positive and chase sports as a way to stay sane. The other would have been a dark road that probably would not have ended too well. Having a mom who was so supportive of me and my passions helped me chose the first option.
Looking back I would tell my 14-year old self to stay encouraged, positive, patient, and trust that all the bad will be overshadowed by the good. All of the struggles will be worth it in the end and your life will be even more beautiful than you can imagine! The dark moments in life will only make you a stronger and enlightened person in the end.
A decade ago, "content marketing" wasn't even a thing, yet there were plenty of us already laying the ground work for what would arguably become one of the most pervasive buzz words in marketing. Early on I saw the gap between marketers, the folks creating the strategies and budgets, and those who were expected to execute on those strategies and develop the assets in order to fulfill them. Enter Puget Sound Creative and plenty of other companies who would serve as bridges to those gaps. I have found that having marketers and creators sitting at the same table is crucial to any content and brand marketing strategy. Everyone who works with us has cross-functional backgrounds and, at minimum, a solid understanding of all facets of our business and offering. All our creatives and collaborators have been hand-picked with our values and clients in mind.
2015 marks the 4th year of what has been an incredible journey for myself and all of the people who have trusted and believed in what we have been building over here at Puget Sound Creative. I set out to create a platform to connect creatives, marketers, and individuals pioneering this incredibly inspiring wellspring of ideas and visual narrative, driving the future of marketing to the businesses that need it most. At that time, many saw this concept and my vision as a "unicorn". I too, was not 100% sure how exactly it was going to pan out, but in the least, I knew that we would have fun making magic with some really great people along the way, and off we went.
So here we are. PSC has scaled from being one person in a basement room in a house shared with a couple friends, consisting of long nights and longer days with intermittent breaks for food and play. Now we're up to 5+ full time employees, a collection of incredible collaborators, and an office space! I am pleased to say that we are not your typical "agency". We believe that every single company and individual has a unique story and that deserves a tailored relationship with the tools and mechanisms for which we would expect to help tell their story. We do not have MBA's, we do not have the fanciest tools and buzzwords in our back pockets, (However, I may have a few good ones) and we certainly do not wear ties or power suits (Though I do think I might like one). We do have fun, we are constantly creating for our clients and in our personal lives, and we are certainly inspired by all of our clients, friends, and collaborators. We hope to be able to inspire you and your customers as well.

[outliers] being an outlier is pretty important to taking on a career as a professional snowboarder, do you think it was in your dna to be an outlier, or was it a conscious choice you made to be different?
[kimmy] i grew up knowing i always wanted to do something unordinary. i loved pushing myself and i was pretty fearless, so it seemed natural to be an outlier.
[o] you suffered through a couple years of injuries lately, but now you seem to be stronger than ever, that has to be brutal, both emotionally and physically. as someone who depends on their body for their paychecks, what goes through your mind and how do you stay motivated through recovery?
[k] i have gone through a lot of changes and growth in the past three years, and my injury was a big part of that. just when i thought i had a good balance with my snowboarding, progressing my riding, and my sponsors, i had a major injury take place. the most important thing for me was to stay positive and focus on the day-to-day tasks of rehabilitation and healing. when my doctor said most athletes may not recovery 100% from what i had done to my body, i chose to be the small percentage that would recover beyond 100%.
i worked so hard to get back to full strength, both physically and mentally. i really had to detach from all the goals i had before i got hurt, and realign myself with things that were going to be realistic with my year off snow and a slow progression back into this sport that brought me so much happiness. i tried not to stress too much about my contracts and their longevity because those were elements i could not be in control of, all i could control was my rehab process.
[o] you spent some of your time away from the snow getting into biking and even ending up doing a triathlon, did you ever see yourself getting into that realm? did your recovery time open those doors?
[k] i had always wanted to do a triathlon and decided it was a fun, very ambitious, but a great goal to check off while i had to be off the hill. biking and this triathlon gave me a way to see growth and progression as i recovered. they helped me mentally realize i could do anything i put my mind to.
[o] what was it like to get involved with another sector of the active lifestyle industry? did you notice any major cultural differences between the two sports?
[k] getting the chance to work with chris maccormmick, a professional triathlete, was really cool and inspiring. there are so many ways to push our minds and bodies, and being able to test out my abilities in that arena was a great experience. we share a lot of similarities in how we all push through challenges. i would love to continue to do triathlons for this reason.
[o] in addition to snowboarding and cycling, you seem to be a very active rock climber and hiker, how do those activities help your snowboarding?
[k] rock climbing and hiking have been really fun activities to keep me outside during the off-season. both these sports help keep me mentally and physically challenged and strong. they help me stay in the moment and great ways to spend time in the mountains and in nature. climbing was pretty intimidating to get into because there were a lot of elements i had to trust before i felt comfortable on the rock, and i had to learn to trust my gear (harness, ropes, and belayer). i love climbing because it forces me to be present and stay in the moment. it’s a very mental sport; if your mind isn’t in the right place you may not make it up the route.
hiking and trail running are other hobbies because i love seeing the mountains by trail. it’s serene, peaceful, and also exhilarating and exhausting. i have a deep appreciation for being able to use my body to its fullest capacity since i got hurt. these two outlets are my favorite ways to stay in shape.
[o] your health and healthy living seem to be a big aspect of your life, is that a byproduct of getting older, or is it pretty much mandatory to being a professional athlete these days?
[k] i think living a healthy and active life is something we all learn through experience. i have had a lot of people in my family struggle or pass away from cancer, and i want to do as much as possible to stay healthy in the hopes of avoiding it myself. i also find that living a healthy lifestyle makes me and my body feel good. i try to live life to the fullest and eat everything in moderation because of the things i have seen or have gone through personally. i think it’s important to be aware of what we are putting in our bodies, but i don’t think it’s mandatory to be “healthy" to be a snowboarder. however, being healthy and staying fit will probably give some riders more longevity in their careers. i especially noticed that being strong and having a healthy diet before i got hurt helped tremendously as i recovered.
[o] it must be hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle when you spend most of the year traveling around the world, what are some of the things you do that other people could work into their lives to stay healthy?
[k] creating a routine while on the road has been really important to maintaining my lifestyle. i always have healthy snacks in my bag and i try to eat pure, unpackaged foods as much as possible. i try to eat mostly organic, and personally have chosen to limit my meat intake unless i know where the meat is from.
as for activity, i always have my running shoes in my bag. since filming in the backcountry is pretty hard on my body with the hiking, sledding, falling, etc, i don’t stress too much about working out in a gym everyday during winter. if i have a have a handful of down days in a row while waiting for weather to clear, i will go bouldering or workout in a local gym.
[o] last season, you filmed with your husband, pro skier chris benchetler, and the nimbus independent crew, how did that arrangement come about? was that the first time you have had the chance to film with your husband?
[k] it was a really great experience being able to film with chris and his crew last season. i was having a hard time finding a place on a backcountry crew and these guys were awesome to let me tag along with them. that was the first time chris and i had spent continuous time in the backcountry together. there were times where we would look at each other standing at the top of a jump and we would just start laughing because we got to share our passions for the mountains and winter sports together.
[o] did you notice any differences between filming with skiers and filming with snowboarders?
[k] filming with snowboarders and skiers has a lot of similarities, like terrain and feature choices. however, skiers can generate speed more quickly on an in-run to a jump than a snowboarder because of their poles and being able to skate with their skis. therefore, some of the jumps and lines skiers pick can have limitations for a snowboarder.
[o] a lot of women and girls look to you as an inspiration, which must be flattering, but who do you look up to and why? have you had a chance to meet any of your role models the way people get to meet you and get inspired?
[k] i am always very humbled and flattered when others tell me i have inspired them. some of my biggest role models have been men and women who step outside the norm and have overcome challenges, which have led them to success. i can’t say i have one specific role model, but i am constantly being inspired by others who live life with a positive and ambitious attitude.
[o] burton released your full part from the 2014 season, which must have been a relief after being out of the action for so long, are you proud of what you were able to put out?
[k] i am so grateful to have something to show for last season and even though my segment wasn’t my best snowboarding or filled with new tricks, i am proud that i was able to get back on my board and push myself out of my comfort zone while staying healthy. my injury played a big toll on my mind, and more than anything i just wanted to know that i could come back and be comfortably scared again. i really struggled to land tricks last year and i think part of it was that my body wasn't ready or strong enough to be hitting the jumps i was hitting. mentally i had to try, and falling made me realize i was going to be okay! i’m hoping that this season i can start trying new tricks and showcasing the type of riding i know i am capable of.
[o] can you tell us what you have in store for this season?
[k] this season i will be building a video part for the transworld snowboarding movie, which is really exciting! i just arrived in japan with the nimbus independent crew and will spend majority of my season with them again. i am just trying to wait to see what mother nature does with snow and let my travel plans be dictated by her weather patterns.
[o] if you could travel back in time and talk to 14-year old kimmy, what do you think she would think of this woman standing before her? is there anything you would want to tell her?
[k] 14-year old kimmy would be astonished that all of her childhood dreams have been fulfilled and that she could accomplish so much in life and snowboarding. at 14-years old my dad had just passed away and i was a mess. i was pretty challenging for my mom and snowboarding was honestly what kept me out of a lot of trouble. at that point in my life i had two choices, one was to stay positive and chase sports as a way to stay sane. the other would have been a dark road that probably would not have ended too well. having a mom who was so supportive of me and my passions helped me chose the first option.
looking back i would tell my 14-year old self to stay encouraged, positive, patient, and trust that all the bad will be overshadowed by the good. all of the struggles will be worth it in the end and your life will be even more beautiful than you can imagine! the dark moments in life will only make you a stronger and enlightened person in the end.
a decade ago, "content marketing" wasn't even a thing, yet there were plenty of us already laying the ground work for what would arguably become one of the most pervasive buzz words in marketing. early on i saw the gap between marketers, the folks creating the strategies and budgets, and those who were expected to execute on those strategies and develop the assets in order to fulfill them. enter puget sound creative and plenty of other companies who would serve as bridges to those gaps. i have found that having marketers and creators sitting at the same table is crucial to any content and brand marketing strategy. everyone who works with us has cross-functional backgrounds and, at minimum, a solid understanding of all facets of our business and offering. all our creatives and collaborators have been hand-picked with our values and clients in mind.
2015 marks the 4th year of what has been an incredible journey for myself and all of the people who have trusted and believed in what we have been building over here at puget sound creative. i set out to create a platform to connect creatives, marketers, and individuals pioneering this incredibly inspiring wellspring of ideas and visual narrative, driving the future of marketing to the businesses that need it most. at that time, many saw this concept and my vision as a "unicorn". i too, was not 100% sure how exactly it was going to pan out, but in the least, i knew that we would have fun making magic with some really great people along the way, and off we went.
so here we are. psc has scaled from being one person in a basement room in a house shared with a couple friends, consisting of long nights and longer days with intermittent breaks for food and play. now we're up to 5+ full time employees, a collection of incredible collaborators, and an office space! i am pleased to say that we are not your typical "agency". we believe that every single company and individual has a unique story and that deserves a tailored relationship with the tools and mechanisms for which we would expect to help tell their story. we do not have mba's, we do not have the fanciest tools and buzzwords in our back pockets, (however, i may have a few good ones) and we certainly do not wear ties or power suits (though i do think i might like one). we do have fun, we are constantly creating for our clients and in our personal lives, and we are certainly inspired by all of our clients, friends, and collaborators. we hope to be able to inspire you and your customers as well.

NORWALK – A teen pleaded not guilty Wednesday to shooting a 15-year-old with a sawed-off shotgun at a bus stop.
Deputies said after the shooting, the injured victim got on a bus and headed to school.
Victor Campa, who turned 18 this month, is being tried as an adult in the Feb. 21 incident that occurred at Norwalk and Mines Boulevards in the unincorporated county area of Whittier.
Prosecutors charged Campa with assault with a deadly weapon, possessing a sawed-off shotgun and being a minor in possession of a weapon.
Dressed in a blue Los Angeles County Jail jumpsuit, a cuffed Campa appeared at his Wednesday arraignment at Norwalk Superior Court. He will be back in court Oct. 24 for a pre-trial hearing.
Campa was being held at Men’s Central Jail, deputies said.
The motive behind the Feb. 21 shooting hasn’t been revealed yet.
The shooting occurred as a 15-year-old boy waited at a bus stop for a ride to school. Another teen rode up on a bicycle.
Deputy District Attorney Brock Lunsford said the bicyclist pulled out what looked like a gun. The victim started running.
“He hears a shot. He feels burning in his back and arm,” Lunsford said.
The younger teen was shot in the back and arm with shotgun pellets.
Residents said they heard gunshots and screaming. A neighbor called Frontier High School and reported that a boy had been shot and boarded the bus on his way to school.
Security guards at the school met the teen when he got off the bus. He was later taken by helicopter to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center.
Two gang detectives spotted a teen matching the description of the shooter walking around the area. They searched his home in West Whittier and found a shotgun.
However, Campa isn’t being charged with any gang allegation.

Caltowie Extention near Laura, Laura, Barossa Valley.
Albert was born on the 6th February, 1904 at Caltowie Extension, and was baptized on 21st February of the same year in the Pine Creek Lutheran Church by Pastor Adolph Ortenburger. Unfortunately Albert lost his young sister and mother in 1908. His two older sisters would have looked after the three boys and their father, until after their father remarried in 1909. Some time later the girls went to live with Aunties of the Becker and Wegner families.
There is a photo showing him attending Pine Creek Lutheran School. Albert was confirmed in the Pine Creek Lutheran church on 3rd November 1918 by Pastor Ortenburger. Later he attended the Youth Group and was involved with the choir.
The parents purchased another farm approximately 3 miles south, this was soon after the Father’s remarriage, but they did not live there till around 1932-33. After the family moved, Albert stopped at the old homestead and batched until his marriage.
On one occasion when he visited his sister at Sandleton, and the various cousins in the Sandleton and Stonefield districts, he met Flora Gertrude Kalisch, and he married her on the 7th February, 1935. Their reception was held at Mrs. Seiboth’s at Eden Valley. The couple then moved back to the farm where Albert had been batching for the last nearly three years.
The next 10 years were the happiest of his life. His wife, being brought up on a farm, was a great helper, especially with animals and birds, particularly birds, for she always had a good collection of these. During harvest time Gertie worked out in the paddock with Albert bag sewing etc. During this time it was not uncommon for drovers to take sheep along the 3 chain road; this ran along the side of their farm. Albert had a bore, which the drovers used for their horses and sheep.
Unfortunately in 1944 due to drought they sold their farm and moved into Laura where they purchased a small 3 acre property with a house. On the block he put down a bore. This enabled them to have a good garden of fruit trees, vegie’s. As well, a good portion was planted with Lucerne. This was for the fowls and cows. The milk from the cows was sold to the Golden North factory. Albert worked at the Laura Flour Mill, delivering chaff and flour to Port Augusta, Quorn, Wilmington, and Port Pirie. Due to his good nature he was always last to get started and always late home.
In 1952, Albert and Gertie decided to move to the Barossa, there buying a small house on a deep block. Albert worked in the mill at Tanunda, but soon found that flour dust affected his health. He then joined the Highways Department at Nurioopta, remaining there until health and memory deteriorated by 1968.
He initially was cared for by Gertie, then was admitted to the Tanunda Hospital and later to the Home for Incurables. It was here that he died in the 13th August 1975. He was buried in the Langmeil cemetery inTanunda. Gertie continued to live in the home until November 1975, when she sold the house and moved into daughter Doris’s self contained flat.

It often surprises people when they realise just how many different broadband providers there are on the market. While most of us can name a few of the industry giants off the top of our head, the sheer amount of variety really does extend far beyond what we may realise. Herein lies an issue when it comes to picking the right broadband provider.
More choice is certainly a good thing, as it pushes companies to provide the best service they possibly can, at the lowest price, in order to stay competitive. However, with so many providers and deals to wade through, finding your ideal broadband deal can actually be a difficult and time-consuming task.
Often, this can mean people end up settling for less. But it doesn’t have to be this way. There is a Hoppier way of finding your ideal broadband provider.
SSE broadband may seem like a more left-field choice because the brand is better known as an energy company. One interesting selling point though is that they can offer discounts for customers who choose to use them for both their utilities and their broadband service, making them an interesting choice that many may not have considered.
That’s not their only benefit though. Their broadband packages offer unlimited downloads and no fixed-term contracts, meaning customers can enjoy greater flexibility to shop around for the best deals. Speaking of flexibility, SSE makes switching broadband provider very straightforward as well. They will contact your current supplier to organise the switch and will deliver a wireless router, which is quick to set up, meaning you don’t have to wait around all day for an engineer.
SSE customers can also enjoy peace of mind with a friendly UK based customer service. And if that wasn’t enough, SSE Rewards offer exclusive benefits, including presale event tickets up to 48 hours before general release, one-off prizes and competitions, as well as upgrades to SSE lounges for their customers.
When looking at broadband providers, there are always certain things to take into account. One of the most important things to note about SSE is that they do not offer TV services as part of their broadband deals – unlike Virgin Media, Sky or Now TV that do. So, if what you are looking for is SSE phone and broadband and nothing else, then this option will be suitable for you.
There are three main options to choose from, with the cheapest being Unlimited Broadband at 11Mbs. If you need faster speeds for smoother streaming and downloading, you can opt for SSE fibre broadband with Unlimited Fibre at 35Mbs and Unlimited Fibre Plus at 63Mbs (average estimate). All package prices include line rental, have the option to add calls for an additional fee, and costs are fixed for three years for energy customers or 12 months for non-energy customers.

Lots of enthusiasm, to say the least! This was my experience of the pilgrims of this Archdiocese who will be setting off this week for World Youth Days in Panama. We gathered Saturday afternoon to celebrate Eucharist in a final moment of preparation, and at the end of mass I invoked a special blessing upon them to send them on their way.
They are enthusiastic, yes, but also deeply and prayerfully serious about this pilgrimage. As well they should be! World Youth Days are moments of encounter with the Lord Jesus in the mystery and communion of his Church. It is a joy for the young pilgrims to be together with hundreds of thousands (!!) of their generation, who are enthusiastic about their Catholic faith. It is thrilling to be in the presence of the Holy Father. At the heart of it all is an encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. This personal meeting with the Lord at WYD has had an enormous impact over the years since the first International WYD in Buenos Aires in 1987. Countless vocations to priesthood, religious life and Christian marriage have been attributed to what takes place at WYD.
One of my favourite paintings of the Annunciation. It is by Henry Tanner and is dated 1898. I have it as the desktop background on my laptop.
We can expect the same to arise from this year’s event, particularly in light of the theme chosen by Pope Francis for the gathering: “I am the servant of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word. (Lk 1:38).” These are the words by which the Blessed Mother gave her assent to the divine summons communicated by the angel Gabriel. They remain the perfect expression of the “yes” that lies within the heart of every disciple of the Lord.
World Youth Days, the brainchild of St. John Paul II and carried on with enthusiasm by Pope Benedict XVI and now Pope Francis, gather young adults from around the globe. When I’ve asked participants how the experience has affected them, the most common response I’ve received is: “I realize that I’m not alone.” This is usually expressed to me with great joy. A sense of isolation can take over the believer in our current secularizing culture. Western society seems bent on marginalizing and privatizing faith. Sources of entertainment and means of social communication are massively influential, and they often will promote as virtue what Christian tradition insists is vice. Political discourse and trends in legislation are increasingly distant from the Christian teaching which formed our national foundation. In such an environment, feeling alone as a young Christian is not surprising. But it is not true. There are millions of young adults in love with the Lord and his Church and very enthusiastic about sharing the faith with others. This is what is often joyfully discovered by WYD participants, and they return home liberated by this experience of truth.
Let’s be sure to keep our Archdiocesan pilgrims in prayer while they make this faith-filled journey. We can all look forward to welcoming the new enthusiasm they will surely bring to the mission of our local Church.
