In brief: From Staff and Wire Reports:
They call him “The Hag,” but now Merle Haggard can answer to “doctor” as well. Haggard was presented an honorary doctorate Friday by California State University, Bakersfield.
The doctor of fine arts honor was conferred during School of Arts & Humanities commencement ceremonies that also celebrated the late Buck Owens. The university does not bestow honorary doctorates posthumously, so Owens was instead awarded the President’s Medal.
The music of Haggard and Owens exemplifies country music’s “Bakersfield Sound.”
Berger once served as reserve deputy
The man who died after a confrontation with Spokane County sheriff’s deputies in south Spokane was a former reserve deputy for Whitman County.
Whitman County Undersheriff Ron Rockness said Friday that William Berger completed the six-month reserve deputy program in 2005 and worked for part of that year before quitting.
“He basically stopped showing up or doing anything, and because of inactivity was let go,” Rockness said. “That sometimes happens with younger guys going to college.”
Witnesses said Berger, 34, began behaving irrationally June 6 at the Oz Fitness gym at 5501 S. Regal St. Deputies Steve Paynter and Shawn Audie responded, and a confrontation ensued in which Berger continued to struggle despite being shocked three times with a Taser. Berger reportedly tried to take a Taser and use it on one of the deputies before Audie placed him in a chokehold that sheriff’s officials call a lateral-vascular neck restraint, designed to restrict blood flow to the brain.
He was taken off life support the next day, and the Spokane County Medical Examiner has not determined cause of death.

Inslee approves estate tax bill
OLYMPIA – Gov. Jay Inslee signed a revision in the estate tax law shortly after midnight Friday, after a day of negotiating pushed the bill through both houses of the Legislature.
The bill, called a fix of a technical glitch by supporters and a retroactive and unconstitutional reach-back by opponents, was designed to prevent some $40 million worth of checks from being mailed out to heirs of estates affected by a state Supreme Court decision.
“I hope this is a harbinger of things to come,” Inslee said as he signed the bill at 12:30 a.m., about a half-hour after it passed the Senate on a 30-19 vote.
The Legislature had just finished the second day of its second special session, and passed two bills – the estate tax fix and a change in the state’s Model Toxics Control law – two more than had passed in the entire 30 days of the first special session.

I would like to add a little perspective to the coal train controversy.
Last week, while sitting in my hotel in Mainz, Germany, I lost count of the number of uncovered barges loaded with coal going up the flooding Rhine River. It didn’t seem to be a potential ecological crisis to the Germans.

Defying the Constitution
I appreciated James Ramsey’s June 8 letter, which referenced U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens’ dissenting 2008 opinion that the Second Amendment applies to state militia service only.
In 2011, former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, a hero of the militia movement in the 1990s, formed the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the fear of federal gun confiscation by United Nations troops is very real to extreme-right groups such as the John Birch Society, Oath Keepers and the Tenth Amendment Center. More than 400 of the nation’s 3,080 county sheriff’s have signed the CSPOApledge to “oppose and disallow” new gun measures. According to Mack, many sheriffs who signed the pledge are willing to lay down their lives rather than allow any more federal control of guns.
My concern is, if your local county sheriff signed the pledge, is he willing to create his own county militia of deputized citizens to fight the feds? If so, the U.S. Constitution does not grant that authority to sheriffs, and they can be removed from office for not enforcing the law.

History behind Gerlach
Historically, provocation when taken to protect yourself, your family or belongings has always been an accepted defense in court. In Spokane, as in all communities, police have shot numerous people in the process of committing major crimes. It’s known as justice and consequences and was the karma a person brought upon themselves for preying on others.
On Nov. 3, 1898, an article appeared in the Spokane Daily Chronicle stating: “Shoot Down the Thugs. Every Able Bodied Man in Spokane Is Called to Take Arms in Defense of Life and Property. Reign of Terror Must Be Ended.” This headline was announced by Mayor E.D. Olmsted and supported by the police chief. As a consequence, crime did decrease.
Gail Gerlach was presented with a decision he had seconds to make. Brendon Kaluza-Graham was stealing his vehicle and the tools of his trade, a felony against Gerlach that was about to drastically impact his family and his livelihood. The selfish act Kaluza-Graham was in the process of committing was unfortunate, as his joyride was cut short. Mostly, he provoked a responsible, law-abiding citizen who made a split-second decision.
I don’t think Spokane County Prosecutor Steve Tucker thought this one out.
