Four who made a difference enter Hall of Fame
Three pitchers who became dominant after trades and a rock-solid catcher-turned-second baseman entered the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday. Randy Johnson, Pedro Martinez, John Smoltz and Craig Biggio basked in the moment, with at least 40,000 fans cheering them one more time. It was the first time in 60 years that four players were inducted in the same year.

Spokane police looking for armed robbery suspect
Spokane police are investigating an armed robbery today at a Subway restaurant in the 5000 block of N. Division Street in north Spokane. The suspect entered just before 3:15 p.m., displayed a handgun and demanded money from a clerk, then fled westbound on foot with an undisclosed sum
Police probe possible links between Oregon man, missing women
West Virginia police said today they are sharing information with authorities investigating suspicious deaths and missing women in southern Ohio. The chief of detectives in Charleston told The Associated Press that no direct link has been established between an Oregon man killed by a woman he attacked there this month and the cases in Chillicothe, Ohio. But Lt. Steve Cooper said the possibility is being looked into because women were the victims in both places and because of proximity — less than a two-hour drive from Charleston.
Fiat Chrysler to buy back 500,000 pickups in recall deal
Fiat Chrysler will buy back from customers more than 500,000 Ram pickup trucks in the biggest such action in U.S. history as part of a costly deal with U.S. safety regulators to settle legal problems in about two-dozen recalls.
Resource needs put tribes on opposite sides of coal fight
Neither tribe created the modern energy economy. They did not build the railroads or the power plants or the giant freighters that cross the ocean. But the Crow Tribe, on a vast and remote reservation here in the grasslands of the northern Plains, and the Lummi Nation, nearly a thousand miles to the west on a sliver of shoreline along the Salish Sea in Washington, have both become unlikely pieces of the machinery that serves the global demand for electricity – and that connection has put them in bitter conflict. The Crow, whose 2.2 million-acre reservation is one of the largest in the country, have signed an agreement to mine 1.4 billion tons of coal on their land – enough to provide more than a year’s worth of the nation’s coal consumption. The Lummi, on a 13,000-acre peninsula near Bellingham, are leading dozens of other tribes in a campaign that could block the project. They say it threatens not only the Earth’s future climate, but also native lands, sacred sites and a fragile fishery the Lummi and others have depended on for thousands of years.
Involuntary commitment should have halted gun buy
John Russell Houser was deeply troubled long before he shot 11 people in a movie theater in Louisiana, but decades of mental problems didn’t keep him from buying the handgun he used. Despite obvious and public signs of mental illness – most importantly, a Georgia judge’s order committing him to mental health treatment against his will as a danger to himself and others in 2008 – Houser was able to walk into an Alabama pawn shop six years later and buy a .40-caliber handgun.
As fears of West Side ‘megaquake’ danger grow, state’s emergency planners unshaken
When “The Big One” hits in Western Washington, we’re likely to feel it in the Inland Northwest, but it might seem like nothing more than the shaking from a large truck rumbling past. On the other side of the state, from Canada to the Columbia River and beyond, bridges will be falling. Some buildings will sway and others collapse. Gas lines will rupture and downed power lines will spark fires. Electricity and water will be off. Phone service out. Cell towers down.
Clinton denies email had classified information
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton repeatedly insisted Saturday that she did not send or receive classified information through her personal email system. Clinton said the latest flare-up about her use of a personal email server was prompted by her desire for transparency and to have her emails available to the public.
Trump slams rival GOP hopeful Walker
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump opened up a line of attack Saturday on Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, accusing the leader in recent polls in Iowa of running his neighboring state into financial trouble.
Federal judge says detained women, children should be released
A federal judge has ruled that hundreds of immigrant women and children in holding facilities should be released, finding their detention “deplorable” and in grave violation of an earlier court settlement. U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee said federal authorities had violated key provisions of an 18-year-old court settlement that put restrictions on the detention of immigrant children. The ruling, released late Friday, is another blow to President Barack Obama’s immigration policies and leaves questions about what the U.S. will do with the large number of children and parents who crossed the border from Latin America last year.
Turkey couples attacks on IS with strikes on Kurdish targets
Turkey’s sudden willingness to join the fight against the Islamic State group is a sign that it’s afraid of losing clout with the U.S., but its second front against Kurdish rebels in Iraq on Saturday could complicate Washington’s war. For months, Ankara had been reluctant to join the U.S.-led coalition against IS despite gains made by the extremist group on Turkey’s doorstep. Now, Turkish warplanes are directly targeting IS locations – the latest bombing run coming early Saturday for a second straight day. Turkey then opened a second front on Kurdish rebel sites. The strikes against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, muddle the U.S.-led fight against IS. The United States has relied on Syrian Kurdish fighters affiliated with the PKK while making gains against IS.
Obama speaks bluntly on Kenyan rights
President Barack Obama mixed blunt messages to Kenya’s leaders on gay rights, corruption and counterterrorism Saturday with warm reflections on his family ties to a nation that considers him a local son.
In brief: Airstrikes kill 120 in Yemeni town

In brief: Fire breaks out at Las Vegas hotel-casino’s 14th-floor pool

Memorial service held for woman who died in Texas jail
Family and friends of Sandra Bland, an Illinois woman found dead in a Texas jail, remembered her Saturday as a “courageous voice” for social justice and promised to keep fighting for clarity on the circumstances surrounding her death.
Chrysler issues recall for 1.6 million Ram trucks
Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 1.6 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix two separate issues affecting its Ram pickup trucks. The first recall is to repair a steering wheel wiring harness that could rub against a spring in the air bag module. The resulting abrasion from the friction could cause an electrical short, prompting the front air bags to unexpectedly deploy. The recall affects just over 1 million 2012 to 2014 Ram trucks that were manufactured between January 2011 and October 2014. The automaker is also recalling more than half a million trucks to fix faulty impact sensors. The faulty sensors could cause seat belt pre-tensioners to activate and air bags to deploy unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

16th annual South Perry Street Fair moves out of Grant Park
On Saturday the only traffic jam in the South Perry neighborhood was the one created by the crowd of children swarming the animal balloon man during the 16th annual South Perry Street Fair. Perry Street was shut down south of Ninth Avenue, and vendors that usually set up in Grant Park were able to line the streets, which pleased organizers from the South Perry Business and Neighborhood Association. This is the first time the street fair was actually held in the street.
The Dirt: STCU will move downtown branch to River Park Square
Spokane Teachers Credit Union will relocate a downtown branch to new space as part of a remodel at River Park Square, with that STCU site to be built adjacent to a planned Urban Outfitters store. Urban Outfitters is scheduled for construction at Main Avenue and Wall Street, where the Saad Building is being demolished. The new STCU branch is slated to open at the site in late 2016 with 2,900 square feet on the street and skywalk levels. It will replace STCU’s downtown branch in the skywalk level of Crescent Court.

Spin Control: A day in jail would motivate legislators to fund education
The Legislature sends its latest report to the state Supreme Court this week on how it’s stepping up to the plate on educating Washington’s children, an exercise that resembles a high school student cramming together an end-of-term project after frittering away much of the semester.
