There was drama a-plenty in Pacific on Monday.

First, there was the beleaguered city council, struggling to corral the

city’s personnel woes. Then there were outraged residents, ratcheting up their calls for Mayor Cy Sun’s resignation.

During the public comment period, several residents rose to demand that Sun – who assumed

office in January after winning the mayor’s seat last November with a write-in campaign — step down. Don Thomson even “fired” Sun.

“It is over,” Thomson said. “I’m demanding, I’m not requesting. Turn over your keys to the council.”

“Mr. Sun, you have raped and pillaged this town beyond recogni-tion,” Reva Bryant said. “We are the laughing stock of Western Wash-ington. It is pathetic. This was a great little city. I’ve been here 40[ more pAcific page 3 ]

indecent exposure and lewd conduct.Kenneth Libke, 56, who has a

long criminal record for indecent exposure and lewd conduct in US cities, was picked up on the streets of San Felipe, Mexico at 12:55 p.m., according to the online site, La Voz de la frontera.

Libke had been seven times con-victed of indecent exposure-related crimes prior to his arrest in the Su-permall parking lot on June 2, 2011.

To audible gasps and tears from Josh Deraitus’ family, a King County Superior Court judge found Justin McLeod not guilty Monday of all charges related to a road-rage shooting in Fed-eral Way two years ago that cost Deraitus his left eye.

“The issue of this case and the evidence that must be viewed through the lens of the law is identity,” Judge Hollis Hill said in her decision. “Does the admiss-able evidence establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? Or does the admissable evidence leave room for one, or several reasonable doubts of the truth of the charge that

this man, Justin McLeod committed this crime?”

Prosecutors accused McLeod of shooting Derai-tus in a road-rage incident at South 304th Street and Military Road South in Fed-eral Way on Jan. 2, 2010.

Deraitus, a 30-year-old Auburn man, said he was on his way to pick up his 4-year-old son when he inadvertenly cut off a black luxury sedan near Military Road South and South 288th Street. The car tailgated him for a couple of miles, trying to pass him on the left and the right on the two-lane road. At a redlight at South 304th Street, De-raitus said, the car pulled

Pacific Police Sgt. Jim Pickett has stepped down as the City’s acting police chief.

In an e-mail to Pacific Mayor Cy Sun, members

of the Pacific Council, Pacific Police personnnel and the department’s Teamster’s Union 117 representative, Pickett cited among the reasons for his resignation Sun’s “expressed decline of trust in me and your belief that I am working against you.”

“…I believe it is in the best interest of the Pacific Police Department and the City of Pacific that I now step down from my role as

acting chief of police and return to my position as sergeant,” Pickett wrote.

Pickett went on to cite his involve-ment with the recent lock-out of City Clerk Jane Montgom-ery. On June 9, he wrote,

after Montgomery filed a whistleblower complaint detailing her concerns about an unauthorized Sun appointee signing off on building permits and inspections, that Sun had asked him to serve her with two letters.

According to Pick-ett, one letter placed Montgomery on admin-istrative leave, and the other informed her of an upcoming Loudermill

hearing, which is part of the due-process procedure for government employees before disciplinary action. Pickett added that Sun told him to deliver the letters to Montgomery at her home.

After consulting with the City attorney, Pickett wrote, he was advised that serving Montgomery at home would, “border on harrasment, and might be illegal.”

According to the e-mail,

Pickett worried about “being drawn into a pit of unethical behavior.”

Lt. Edwin Massey, who was the acting police chief before Pickett, is now the department’s highest rank-ing officer. Massey – who was named the depart-ment’s acting chief after Sun placed former-Chief Jon Calkins on adminstra-tive leave in January – was removed from the acting chief post by Sun in April.

years, and you have walked in here and torn it literally apart. I ask for your imme-diate resignation.”

After the meeting Sun downplayed the demands.

“Those are the same people that ask me to resign every meeting I go to,” he said. “The same exact people. They want people to know they disapprove of my poli-cies and my approach to the City government. Now let’s put it straight. I was voted in on a write-in. And the people were disgusted with the corruption that was go-ing on. I came in and started cleaning up corruption.

“I admit that I’m moving too fast, as to my knowledge of the Washington code and the City code. When I get to know them, I’ll backtrack and approach it the right way. I wouldn’t say lawful, but the right way,” Sun said.

Most of the rancor cen-ters on Sun’s controversial personnel decisions, which have punched gaping holes in the City’s staff roster.

Since Sun took office, five of the City’s six department managers have quit or Sun has fired them.

The sixth, City Clerk and Personnel Manager Jane Montgomery, is on a leave-of-absence after filing a whistleblower complaint and an anti-harassment suit on June 11.

Montgomery claims that Sun locked her out of her office in retaliation for blowing the whistle on his controversial personnel decisions. She says she acted out of fear that Sun’s deci-sions would put the City at risk, financially and legally.

Not true, Sun said.“The reason I locked it

was that I didn’t want any documents to be removed,” Sun said.

Despite criticism of his management style and his decisions since taking office, Sun said he was confident he was carrying out the people’s will.

“I was voted in to do what I’m doing right now,” Sun said after the meeting. “I’m doing what the voter has voted me in for.”

ALSO: The rotating door at Pacific City Hall continued to spin this week with the news of Sgt. Jim Pickett’s resigna-tion as the acting police chief and Sun’s termina-tion of the contract with City Attorney Kenyon Luce. Luce was given 30-days notice... The council met in executive session with the City’s insurance carrier, Canfield Associ-ates, to address concerns about potential litigation stemming from events that have occurred within the city in the last month, including an “investiga-tion into the whistle blower protection viola-tion,” Luce said. He added that there was also con-cern about some criminal conduct allegations. Both instances require action by the City, but accord-ing to Luce, the insurance carrier has no plans to cancel its contract with Pacific at this time.

Marion Jones, former Olympian and world champion track and field athlete, is expected to make a special appearance at Auburn’s Fourth of July Festival.

Jones will sign auto-graphs in the Overcomer Covenant Church’s booth at 11 a.m. to noon and 2:30-3:30 p.m. at Les Gove Park, 1005 12th St. SE.

The church is sponsor-ing the Freedom Stage that will present a lineup of live entertainment.

One of the world’s the most celebrated athletes,

Jones declined a spot on the U.S. Olympic Relay Team as a high school stu-dent, instead accepting a basketball scholarship and attending the University of North Carolina.

Jones led the Tar Heels to the 1994 NCAA title and graduated with a degree in broadcast-journalism.

She immediately re-turned to the track and, as a member of Team USA, won gold medals in the 1997 World Champion-ships.

After defending her 100-meter title at the 1999 World Championships, Jones went on to win five

medals, three gold and two bronze medals at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.

In 2003, the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury drafted Jones in the third round.

For years after her triumphs in the 2000 Olympics, al-legations that Jones used performance enhancing drugs persisted. Finally, in October 2007, Jones admit-ted that despite never test-

ing positive, she had lied to federal investigators and, had in fact used perfor-mance enhancing drugs.

As a result of her confes-sion, Jones was sentenced and served six months in federal prison for lying to federal investigators. Jones voluntarily returned her five Olympic medals and publicly apologized to her family, friends and fans.

Jones’ book, “On the Right Track” (Simon & Schuster), demonstrates how she has committed her life to inspiring others who face life-challenging situa-tions. As a public speaker and author, Jones candidly,

articulately and passion-ately shares her life story.

In March 2010, after be-ing away from the game of basketball for 13 years, at the age of 34, Jones signed with the WNBA’s Tulsa Shock. After a success-

ful rookie season, Jones returned to the Shock for the 2011 season, but was released in July 2011.

Jones and her husband, Obadele Thompson, live in Austin, Texas, with their three children.

Nothing like baseball for Fourth fun

For me, every Fourth of July is special.As far back as I can remember, and

more so than with any other holiday, I’ve looked forward to celebrating the day our country declared independence from England.

Unencumbered by any obligations, like buying gifts, the Fourth has always been simple. And in my hectic, compli-cated world, just being able to spend a day doing nothing except eating barbe-cue, drinking beer, blowing stuff up and watching baseball is a rare gift.

This year, however, the Fourth of July has an added significance. This year my dad, John Skager, will be post-humously inducted into the Mandan, N.D. American Legion Base-ball Hall of Fame.

I grew up a Navy brat, courtesy of my dad’s 26-year career in the United States Navy. Although many of the Fourths in my youth were spent in far flung, exotic locales such as Greece, Australia and Utah, whenever we could, we returned to North Dakota – where I was born and my parents grew up – to spend the holiday with relatives.

Now, I’ve heard many people brag about how good the Fourth of July cel-ebrations in their hometowns are, and I’ve experienced a few as well. But let me tell you here and now — all of them pale in comparison to a Mandan Fourth.

Typically, the festivities start around 10 a.m. with the Main Street Parade, fol-lowed by a host of activities such as the rodeo, the demolition derby, music in the park or just chilling with the cousins in a backyard, drinking beer and barbecuing.

Paramount among the festivities, however, is the American Legion baseball double-header at the Legion Memorial Ball Park.

In my extended family, baseball is like

During his term as Washington’s governor, Gary Locke’s mantra was “education is the great equalizer.” Locke, now the U.S. Ambassador to China, was correct, but in our country, today education is becoming the great separator.

Here’s the problem.First, far too many students drop

out of high school – nearly 7,000 each day. That adds up to about 1.2 million students a year who don’t graduate with their peers.

The consequences are clear. Forbes reports that in 2009, the average high school dropout made

$19,540 a year, 40 percent less than their classmates who graduate. The deficit continues into the work-

place, where the unemployment rate for dropouts is double that of graduates.

Secondly, even those who do graduate from high school face problems. According to the Alli-ance for Excellent Education, reme-dial education for incoming college students costs the United States an estimated $5.6 billion a year.

Remedial courses are necessary because high school graduates do

not test well enough in math, Eng-lish, reading or science to get into entry-level college classes. Accord-ing to Washington’s State Board for Community and Technical Colleges, 57 percent of high school graduates entering state community and technical colleges require vary-ing degrees of remedial education.

In the 2009-2010 school year, more than half of incoming students took what were termed “pre-college” courses at a cost of $65.7 million – money drained from the state’s general fund and tuition payments.

Beware: a cat's bite can be dangerous

I live in a wooded area by Lake Tapps within a stones throw of Auburn, and I thought this would be a concern to Au-burnites and anyone who loves animals, particularly cats.

There is a “neighborhood” cat that several neighbors feed, and one has taken the cat to get its shots. However, it is not licensed.

The cat recently ambled up my driveway as it often does, got to me and rubbed up against my legs several times and rolled over on its back, then back to its feet. I stroked the cat gently. On the last stroke, before I could react, the cat was on my forearm and hand like a mountain lion on a crippled deer, biting and scratching. I have 20 punctures and two bad bites.

I went to a medical clinic in Auburn and received a tetanus shot and antibiotic shot, and

went home. The next morning I went in for a followup appoint-ment, my hand had almost doubled in size from the swell-ing, and the doctor required me to go to the emergency room at Auburn Regional Medical Cen-ter and get IV antibiotics. Due to the raging infection, even after IV of antibiotics, I was

admitted and spent four days in the hospital with a continued protocol of IV antibiotics. I am slowly healing.

I received a call from a friend in Oregon and explained the situation to him. He said I was very lucky. When I asked why, he shared that there is an individual in Bend, Ore., with bubonic plague from a cat bite.

Due to the severity of the infection that I contracted, cellulitis, often referred to as “blood poisoning,” the doctor at the medical clinic and my attending doctor at Auburn Regional recommended that I contact Pierce County Animal Control to report this incident. Animal control indicated that you are responsible for the cat bite, not the cat.

The lesson I want to share: Do not pet animals that are not your own. Also, for the safety of your children, you are responsi-ble to make sure your children do not pet unknown animals. – Gary W. Morris

Wesley Homes, a not-for-profit organization, is affiliated with the Pacific Northwest AnnualConference of the United Methodist Church.

An innovative program in Tacoma is changing those statistics.

In 2007, only 17 percent of incoming freshmen at Ta-coma’s Lincoln High School met middle school standards in math and only 34 percent met reading standards.

In response, the Tacoma Public Schools created The Lincoln Center, a school within a school. The school day was extended from 7:35 a.m. to 5 p.m., students at-tend Saturday classes twice a month and enroll in summer school, adding 540 hours of study to their school year.

The results were dra-matic. Within a semester, the achievement gap between white students and students of color had vanished. Today, more than 90 percent of the class of 2012 is on track to

graduate, compared with about 60 percent of their peers at Lincoln High.

We need that kind of flex-ibility and innovation if we are to improve the value of public education.

Lastly, we are failing to meet the growing demand for graduates skilled in math and science.

Increasingly, jobs require skilled workers proficient in math and science, but a dis-tressing 40 percent of students entering science, technology, engineering and mathematics tracks in college leave their programs in the first year.

These disciplines require time, discipline and hard work to master, and it is dif-ficult to find teachers skilled in those subjects. Too often, teachers who have mastered math and science leave public education for better jobs in business and industry.

One solution is to pay math and science teachers higher salaries to keep them in education.

Another is to teach teachers how to teach math and sci-ence. As a college freshman, my trigonometry instructor was an exceptional teacher. She could sense when stu-dents were not keeping pace and would provide extra help after class. If the whole class had a problem, she would stop, go back and review the material.

As a sophomore, my professor had mastered calculus, but he was a poor teacher. He just went through the motions, moving forward regardless of whether we understood it.

If we are to realize Gov. Locke’s goal of making education the great equalizer, we need to keep students in school, ensure they master their subjects before moving on, and find (and reward) teachers who can effectively teach the math and science skills students need to succeed in today’s high-tech world.

[ MY TURN from page 5] a religion, ranking somewhere near the top with God, country and family.

My grandfather, Mel-vin Skager, was a gifted semi-pro catcher, who played for the semi-pro Mandan Trainers after his return from fighting in World War II.

My father kept up the family tradition in high school, winning two North Dakota state titles as the catcher for the Mandan Braves in the 1960s. According to my cousin, Michael Kaip, a manager for the current incarnation of the Braves, my dad still holds the record for be-ing the youngest player to make the varsity squad, at 14.

Although I never got to see him play baseball, I was lucky enough to have been the bat boy for my dad’s fastpitch team in the ’70s.

Gifted with a rocket arm with a short release, courtesy of the time he spent behind the plate, my dad was legendary

for his ability to gun down ambitious baser-unners from his spot in right field.

In addition to his raw talent on the diamond, dad was also notorious for the way he played the game — all out, all the time.

Giving it his all, that was his approach to life. He passed that template on to me, and even though he’s gone now, it guides me still.

Baseball was also important for dad and me in my rebellious teen years. As we struggled to communicate with each other over simple things, baseball always provided common ground, espe-cially talking about how the Minnesota Twins were doing.

This past year, just a couple months after dad died from esophageal cancer, I got the chance to spend another Fourth of July in Mandan. It was everything I remem-bered. But the high point for me was talking with many of my dad’s high school friends while we

were out at the ball park. Being able to see my dad through their eyes, as they shared stories with me, was crucial to my grieving process.

Just little glimpses, like an e-mail received from Bruce Toman, who played high school foot-ball with my dad, mean so much as I continue to deal with the loss of my dad.

“Your dad was not a giant guy then, but he was one tough guy, and he had a heart to match,” Toman wrote. “What he lacked in size he doubled in courage and sheer guts.”

It pleases me no end to know that other people saw the same guy that I saw, the man who was, and always will be, my hero.

This Fourth of July, I’ll once again get to cel-ebrate in my home state of North Dakota.

But this time I’ll be celebrating more than a a holiday. I’ll be cel-ebrating my father, John Skager. It’s going to be the best Fourth ever.

to appear for his Aug. 4, 2011 arraignment on the Auburn charge, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

“We know he is in US custody now in Imperial County, Calif,” Donohoe said. “We should know early next week about the status of his extradition to Washington.”

According to Auburn Po-lice Detective Anna Weller’s certification for determina-tion of probable cause – the basis for the charge in the Auburn case – a mall security officer had been monitoring a surveillance video feed of the parking lot at 12:15 p.m. that day when she spotted a grey Jeep suspiciously parked outside of the Nordstrom Rack.

The man at the wheel seemed nervous, as though he were preparing to shoplift,

the officer said. The officer trained the camera on the Jeep as it moved to the front of the store then zoomed in for a closer look. Through the windshield she saw a man in the driver’s seat, right arm and hand pumping up and down in a highly suspicious manner.

At this point according to Weller’s account, a person walked past the Jeep, the vehicle moved forward and then turned, giving the officer a clear view into the front passenger compartment. There sat a man, naked from the waist down.

The officer told police she nearly threw up at that point but pulled herself together, according to Weller’s account. Concerned that others might see what she had witnessed through the Jeep’s untinted windows, she called police.

In the meantime another security officer found a sec-ond witness. This second wit-ness later told police that dur-ing the course of the previous six months he had seen the same man cruising the park-ing lot, as though searching for something. That some-thing the witness believed to have been women, whom the man would drive toward before slowing his vehicle.

The witness wrote down the Jeep’s license plate num-ber, and according to Weller’s account, he later positively identified Libke from a photo montage.

Libke has a long history of sexual crimes, including con-victions for public indecency at the Alderwood Mall park-ing lot in Lynnwood.in 2010, lewd conduct in 1993 and 1997, and indecent exposure in 1980, 1981, 2002 and 2006.

into the lane on the passen-ger side of his truck.

“I looked because I wanted to see the guy who was tail-gating me, and as I looked, he pulled up slow,” he said. “The first glimpse I got of him, he already had the gun out. He didn’t say anything or try to scare me with the pistol or flash the gun. He just fired one shot and basically hit me right between the eyes.”

The bullet smashed through the passenger window of the truck and hit

Deraitus in the face, taking his left eye. Doctors would need more than half a dozen surgeries to rebuild his nose

and face.“This

is a case about that man’s suf-fering, brought upon

him by a heartless, vicious, complete stranger, who evidently did not think for a moment or two about caus-

ing such harm, for no reason whatsoever,” Hill said in her verdict. “This is a deeply disturbing story.”

According to Hill, how-ever, there just wasn’t enough evidence to convict McLeod.

Chief among her reasons was her belief that Deraitus didn’t get a long enough look at his shooter at the time of the crime, and that too much time – eight months – had elapsed between the shoot-ing and Deraitus’ positive identification of McCleod. Hill said this, coupled with a lack of details in the victim’s

initial description given to police, was enough to “raise doubts as to the accuracy of the identification.”

Hill also found reasonable doubt with the connec-tion between McLeod and the black sedan used in the crime, as well as with the .40 caliber shell casing found at the scene.

“So through the lens of law which this court is sworn to uphold, that is to require proof beyond a reasonable doubt, this court finds the defendant not guilty,” Hill said.

For the past 12 years, suc-cess has eluded the Auburn Little League 12U fastpitch program.

According to coach Perry Azevedo, who helmed the league’s 15-1 Lady Huskies team this season, 2001 was the last time a team from Auburn won the District 10 Tournament of Champions (TOC).

That drought ended this year, however, as the Lady Huskies romped through the competition at the TOC, winning the tourney with a perfect record and averaging an impressive 17 runs per game.

Although the season is over for the Lady Huskies, seven members of the squad begin play with the Auburn/Kent Fastpitch All-Stars this weekend at Brannan Park, as they vie for a district title.

“Our group has won districts at their level the last two years in a row,” Azevedo said. “So we’ve set the bar pretty high. Our goal is to win districts and go on to state. ”

Azevedo added that

should the team win the 12U District 10 title, it would be a first for the Auburn Little League girls.

Regardless of the team’s performance at districts, Azevedo said he’s just happy to see the Auburn program’s success.

“It’s been 12 years of dwindling numbers with our softball program,” Azevedo said. “There were years that we couldn’t even have teams at the level because of the

numbers. We’ve worked really hard at getting those numbers up.”

For the Lady Huskies, the 15-1 season is the culmina-tion of several years of hard work, Azevedo said.

“Personally, it was just a joy and a charge to see these kids develop and be success-ful,” he said. “My personal satisfaction was just off the hook. It was just an awesome season. This team just kind of went after it. A lot of these

girls have played together since they were seven and eight years old. It’s been one step at a time.”

Now the Auburn girls, teamed up with all-stars from the Kent Little League, look to keep their season go-ing, with a game against the all-stars from Fife/Milton/Edgewood/South Hill, in the District 10 tourney at 3 p.m. Saturday at Brannan Park.

Folks at the White River Valley Museum are calling the midsummer night’s event at Mary Olson Farm event “Farm Snooze.”

But don’t let the name fool you. Because long before any boys or girls or their moms and pops let a single lid droop or cut a single z, they’re sure to tucker themselves out with good ole’-fashioned campout activities, like scavenger hunts, field games and a wie-nie and marshmallow roast.

So come, families, pitch a tent and spend a fabulous, unforgettable, magical night under the stars, from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m., July 21 and 22 at the Mary Olson Farm just north of the Auburn Golf Course on Green River Road.

“This is the first time we’ve done anything like this at the farm,” said Rachel Bur-rum, curator of education at WRVM. “We’re trying to have a family campout where families can get together and have a safe place for a camp-ing experience.”

REI will provide free gear rental for those in need.

“If you don’t have a tent or a sleeping pad, we can make that happen,” Burrum said. “We’re also working with Green Trails Maps, which is going to provide a little lesson in hiking and orienteering, that is, showing kids how to use a compass if they are lost and how to navigate the woods.”

All families are welcome. The cost is $25 per individual camper, and $20 per camper for groups of six or more.

Children under age 4 get in free. Register online at: http://wrvmuseum.org farm_and_museum_overnights.html. Please check the museum’s website for details. Porta potties will be provided on site. Parking is available in the farm parking lot just north of

the entrance.The setting for all this

fun is the best preserved historic subsistence farm in King County and a county landmark with its own listing on the National Register of Historic Places. There’s lots to see, from an 1897 barn, a fully

restored 1902 farmhouse, a century-old orchard, three salmon runs in Olson Creek and a remarkable collection of outbuildings, including a smoke house, an outhouse

and a weaving house.The farm, which oper-

ates as a living history and environmental learning site, is available for community and special events.

Spend a magical family night under the stars at Mary Olson Farm

The barn, at Auburn’s Mary Olson Farm. The farm will host a “Farm Snooze,” overnight event July 21 and 22. File phOTO

Carolyn Kurle, an assistant professor at UC San Diego, has been named a 2012-2013 Hellman Faculty Fellow. She and 21 other junior faculty members at UCSD won the award this year to support them in their research and scholarly work toward ten-ured positions.

Kurle, a 1990 Auburn High School graduate, works in the Section of Ecology, Behavior and Evolution at

UCSD. The Hellman Fellowship

Program was established at UC San Diego in 1995 with a gift of $2.5 mil-lion from Chris and Warren Hellman. Last year, the Hellman Fellows Fund

made an additional grant of $2.4 million, providing continued support for the program. Its purpose is to provide financial support and encouragement to young faculty who show capacity for great distinction in their research and creative activities.

A faculty member in the Division since 2010, Kurle received her doctorate from UC Santa Cruz in 2008 and

her bachelor’s degree from the University of Washing-ton in 1994. Her research is focused on how human perturbations such as habitat alteration, invasive species and biodiversity loss impact communities.

She also strives to incor-porate concrete conservation actions into her research projects so that she can both study and contribute to restoring ecosystems.

On July 3 the fifth-annual Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival roars again into Auburn’s White River Amphitheatre, bringing a host of metal’s biggest acts to provide the backing music for the area’s headbanging faithful.

Among the bands poised to rock the socks off this year’s lucky ticket-holders are behemoths Slayer, Slipknot and Mötorhead on the main stage, as well as support acts As I Lay Dying, The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexan-dria, Upon a Burning Body, Betraying the Martyrs, I the Breather and Dirtfedd.

Also featured on this year’s lineup are thrash metal titans Anthrax, who will anchor the second stage with a 45-min-ute headlining set.

The tour marks a return for the thrash metal innova-tors, who formed in 1981 and recently released their 10th album “Worship Music.”

“We’ve done some big tours, with (Iron) Maiden, with Ozzy, with (Judas) Priest. We did plenty of cool tours,” he said. “We did Clash of the Titans (with Slayer, Megadeth and Alice in Chains). But nothing like this. It should be very inter-esting. This event is a great thing to be a part of. You’re reaching a large amount of people and getting that ex-

posure. That’s what you look forward to.”

Phil Bozeman, lead singer for Knoxville, Tenn.-based Whitechapel – who play on the Jägermeister Stage this year – knows full well what a young band can get out of a slot at the Mayhem Festival.

In 2009 the band – hot on the heels of the release of their second album “This is Exile” – played the Hot Topic Stage at the Mayhem Festival.

“That was the defining moment of whether we were going to fall off the face of the Earth or survive,” Bozeman

said. “That was the biggest exposure we had. You can go over good with 500 people in a room, but the true test is in front of thousands, where 80 or 90-percent don’t even know who you are. It’s by far one of the best ways for an up-and-coming band to get notoriety and recognition. I don’t know anything else that can beat that.”

With much of their success owed to their appearance on the 2009 edition of the tour, Bozeman said they jumped at a chance to play Mayhem again.

“It’s great, the atmosphere is just crazy,” he said. “There is so many people. It’s what bands strive for. It’s a party. Playing for 10,000-plus people. That’s what Mayhem is all about, we know, we’ve

played it before. But that thrill never goes away no matter how many times you do that.”

For The Devil Wears Prada, another up and com-ing metal band that recently released a live CD/DVD “Dead&Alive”, this year’s Mayhem Festival marks its first time on the tour.

“We’re very excited about Mayhem, we’ve been talking about wanting to do it for the last three years,” said guitarist and singer Jeremy DePoyster. “It’s exciting because there are so many people that wouldn’t normally come to a club show just to see you. So they get a chance to see you.”

Tickets and information about this year’s Rockstar En-ergy Drink Mayhem Festival are available online at www.rockstarmayhemfest.com.
