Whitman County Gazette • Thursday, May 17, 2018 • PAGE 7A OPINION

A Few Check Points for the Liberty State The concept of a 51st state with a division of Washington along the crest of the Cascades has surfaced again. Reports on the concept, which has been around the block a few times in the past, surfaced in two recent editions of Colville's Statesman Examiner newspa- per. One report noted a large crowd gathered at the Colville's Agricultural Trade Center to hear State Rep. Matt Shea, a Republican from District 4 in Spokane Valley, introduce what he called eight steps to freedom in order to bring about a state split and create Liberty State. In Shea's view, Washington state has two sides and people on opposite sides of the Cascade crest don't see "eye to eye" on topics such as water rights, taxes, the right to bear arms, property rights, wolves and education. The like-minded electorate in the new state could see its first political fis- sures emerge when they try to decide where its capitol dome, if they decide to pay for one, will be placed.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver * It was noted wit Ambrose Bierce who made the following sage observa- tion: “All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philoso- pher.”

* You might be sur- prised to learn that in January 2004, the Food and Drug Administration approved the use of mag- gots as a medical device for cleaning wounds.

* Presidential security was not always as formida- ble as it is today. In 1913, former President Theodore Roosevelt was walking down a Milwaukee street, heading to a speech he was scheduled to give. A man named John Schrank pulled out a gun and shot toward Roosevelt, who staggered but did not fall. There was no blood evi- dent, and Roosevelt, who was campaigning for a sec- ond term, insisted on deliv- ering his speech. When he pulled from a coat pocket the 100 pages on which his speech was written, he saw a bullet hole through the sheets of paper. Still deter- mined to carry on, he gave his speech before going to the hospital, where it was discovered that the bullet had penetrated four inches into his body. After the per- petrator was arrested, it became evident that Schrank was insane; he claimed that President William McKinley had revealed to him in a dream that Roosevelt was respon- sible for McKinley’s assas- sination. Schrank spent the next 32 years in an insane asylum.

* If you see a group of flamingoes together in one place, it might be handy to know that the appropriate collective noun is a “flam- boyance.”

* The instruments used by professional flute players are usually made from precious metals — either sterling silver, 14- carat gold or platinum.
