  • Body camera dispute at Spokane raises questions

    Jerry Jones, Gazette Editor|Jun 20, 2019

    A lead story in the Spokesman Review June 1 projected a different view of where police body camera footage can be seen. The report included a photo of the kind of camera Spokane Police wear when they go on duty. The story involved body camera footage that possibly could have involved police policy violations on the part of officers involved in a February arrest and chase. The core of the SR account reported members of the Spokane City Council had requested a look at the footage. The police department agreed to give the council members a look...

  • The Game Show

    Bob Franken, Syndicate Columnist|Jun 20, 2019

    Let's play "Jeopardy," where the answers are questions. If Alex Trebek were to ask contestants to specify "A glaring contrast between Queen Elizabeth II and President Donald Trump," the correct response would be "What are class and crass?" Of course, there are other differences between the two. The player says, "I'll take 'Liz and Don' for $400!" Alex would read, "The one who served in the military." The winning answer-question would be "Who is the Queen of England?" Certainly it's not the president of the United States. As we all know,...

  • CEOS for Abortion

    Rich Lowry, Syndicate Columnist|Jun 20, 2019

    Clarity of thought and expression about moral issues is not a core competency of CEOs. If anyone had any doubt, look no further than the "historic" pro-abortion statement by nearly 200 CEOs that ran in a full-page ad in The New York Times. It is a festival of absurdity and euphemism, an exercise in perverse virtue-signaling to a progressive audience that believes that maintaining one of the most permissive pro-abortion regimes in the developed world is a virtue. The CEOs define abortion as "equality" ("Don't Ban Equality") and, of course,...

    A thing or two In the June 11, 2019, Lewiston Tribune, there was an article where State Industrial was investigating the actions used by Pullman Fire Department for the April 9 flood on North Grand. I have been serving as a firefighter for just short of 50 years. It is my passion. Like the Farmer's Insurance commercial, I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. But I do not know everything and neither does State Industrial. Fire fighting is inherently dangerous and when an emergency happens call 911 and a fireman will respond to...

    Garth Meyer, Gazette Reporter|Jun 20, 2019

    Sander Carren and Shane Monroy took the Tekoa Slippery Gulch egg toss Saturday, June 15, winning $50 each. Monroy, 35, won one other time just after high school, an event which he's participated in since third grade. Carren, 36, Monroy's brother-in-law, had been in 10 Slippery Gulch egg tosses.
