COMMENTARY: Musings From the Middle Fork What’s the Reason for State Trooper Probe? I get our governor and attorney general are very liberal and predictable in their thinking, but this past week I read where a Washington state trooper is being investigated for running a driver’s license check of one of the drivers in a traf- fic accident. That, by the way, is something that’s done routinely to validate the driver’s licenses of those involved regardless of who is at fault. The result of the routine check prompted a message from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that Chavez Corona was a previously deported felon (four times) and to contact ICE for confirmation. Just what was the trooper’s egregious act? Apparently, it was calling ICE, who promptly came to the scene and picked up Mr. Corona. The trooper didn’t aid ICE by going on a raid, or detain Mr. Corona longer than he would have while investigating the accident, the patrol admitted as much. He did little if anything different than what he’d do normally. By John McCroskey But the result is an investigation of the Letters trooper’s actions. of our dams.

Voice of the People Students Hear About Law Enforcement Careers

Chronicle readers share their thoughts every day through social media, including Facebook, Twitter and the comment section of Chronline.com. Here are some of the recent highlights of conversation.

Chronicle Facebook followers respond to post of “All Four Pacific Northwest Senators Against Perry Confirmation:”

Chris Perkins Nichols: Since Cantwell and Murray seem to know what is needed to clean up this hellhole we call Hanford, why don’t they offer to help Perry? Naw, let’s not let work- ing together get in the way of progress.

Colleen Brown: Why has that not been

They shared with over 50 high school students insights about their careers and pathways into the law enforcement ield. The students also got the chance to ask lots of questions and interact afterward with the oicers.

The physical nature of the game, typical in late-round game in Spokane, played to Napavine’s strengths. “A little bit,” Filley said. “You know, with how football season went, we’re tough out there, so we can do that on the court.” The Tigers bounced back from a loss to Liberty, their op- ponent in the State 2B football title game, on Thursday to keep their season alive. “You never know how these are going to go, when you come over here with one thing in mind and it gets taken away,” Stanley said. “But I couldn’t be prouder of them. They showed up and competed, and I could tell right away that we were go- ing to be okay.” Filley scored 10 in the first quarter to help stake the Tigers an 18-13 lead after a quarter, and kept pulling away from there.

Thursday’s 2B Boys Basketball Lancers Stun Napavine in Quarterfinals, 68-60 REMATCH: Purvis Scores 21 Points, but Liberty Pulls Away in Second Half to Reach Semifinals By Aaron VanTuyl [email protected] SPOKANE — The Tigers expected a tight, physical game. They hadn’t expected much in the way of sharpshooting. Justin Jeske went 4 of 4 from long range to head up an 8 of 14 long-range shooting exhibition from the Lancers, who pulled away in the third quarter for a 68-60 win over Napavine in the State 2B quarterfinals on Thurs- day. The loss drops Napavine (23- 3) into a loser-out game Friday morning, while the Lancers (19- 6) move into the state semifinals. Liberty had gone 0 for 6 from behind the arc a day earlier, in a 65-62 win over Brewster. “They hit some big shots,” Ti- ger coach Rex Stanley said. “Our game plan coming in was to protect the paint and force them to shoot over the top, and Jeske hit a couple … That’s just how it goes.” The early damage, though, Pete Caster / [email protected] came from Chase Burnham. Napavine’s Jordan Purvis goes in for a layup as Liberty’s Thomas Redder defends on the play during the fourth quarter of a State 2B Basketball Tournament Quarterinal The 6-foot-3 senior scored 14 of game on Thursday in Spokane.

College Basketball Mark Few’s Focus Fuels Gonzaga’s Consistent Success By John Marshall The Associated Press SPOKANE — Fly fishing is a puzzle, the solution ever-chang- ing, even on the same stretch of water. Success requires reading the river, its riffles and seams, flows and clarity, temperature, locat- ing lies of holding fish. Attracting a strike can take an entomologist’s mind; deci- phering the hatch and the weath- er, knowing insect life stages and finding the fly pattern to match, mimicking the movements with a flick of the rod tip. Even when everything is right, the fish still might not bite, pos- sibly full from a previous feeding or spooked by something out of the angler’s control. Mark Few loves this algo- rithm of the outdoors, working the angles to see that flash, feel that tug. The time on the water also al- lows the Gonzaga coach to work on the other major puzzle in his life: Running one of the nation’s top college basketball programs. “It’s challenging.

Faith Religion, Church News Seattle Church Looks Back 75 Years After Japanese Internment cans who were evacuated from the West Coast and forced into internment camps, none of the church members gathered at that International District apartment — Kashino-Takisaki, Marianne Tada, 82, and Tosh and Toshi Okamoto, 90 and 93 — had spoken much in the past about those years. In some cases, even their own children had not heard their stories. “It is part of our culture to endure and to accept something that cannot be helped,” said Tosh Okamoto, who fought in the U.S. Army’s famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team after he was interned. “They didn’t want to make us bitter,” added Nakano, whose parents were also interned. But, Nakano said, with recent developments in the country’s immigration policies aimed at Muslims, refugees and undocumented immigrants, it seemed time to tell those sto- ries.
