In brief: From Wire Reports:
Now it’s official: Obama re-elected
WASHINGTON – Congress made the obvious official on Friday. President Barack Obama has been re-elected.
In a joint session, Congress formally certified that Obama and Vice President Joe Biden were the winners in the November election with 332 electoral votes, well more than the 270 required. Republican Mitt Romney and his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, won 206 votes.
It’s a mostly ceremonial – yet constitutionally necessary – vote that’s mostly intriguing to political junkies and policy wonks. The count Friday lacked the suspense of the drawn-out campaign and election but was steeped in tradition.
Taking turns, the leaders of the Senate Rules Committee and the top members of the House Administration Committee read the results from each state. Biden, who presided over the session, announced the final results to applause from the scattering of House and Senate members in the chamber.
Adoption case goes to Supreme Court
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to review a ruling that sent a South Carolina couple’s adopted Native American daughter back to her biological father in Oklahoma.
The high court agreed to hear an appeal by Matt and Melanie Capobianco over the fate of 3-year-old Veronica. The couple’s adoption of the girl was overturned by the South Carolina Supreme Court, which said the girl must go back to Oklahoma to be with her biological father, Dusten Brown, a member of the Cherokee Nation.
The state court said the federal Indian Child Welfare Act gives custodial preference to the girl’s father. The act, passed in 1978, gives the child’s tribe and family the right to have a say in decisions affecting the child.
Jacklin’s operations moving to Othello
Jacklin Seed will wind down its Post Falls operations and move its production and seed cleaning business over the next three years to Othello, in the heart of Washington’s irrigated farm country, the company announced this week.
The company, including its building along Interstate 90, has been a fixture in Post Falls for decades. J.R. Simplot Co. bought Jacklin Seed in 1997.
Most Post Falls workers will be offered jobs at the Othello plant. About 25 jobs will be lost.
The company’s moving plans include opening a sales office in Spokane that also will serve as a research and development center.
Jacklin bills itself as the turf-grass industry’s largest producer, with sales of seed to 70 countries.
Leg work, new paint among Carrousel repairs
As the seasons go round and round, the painted ponies are getting a break from going up and down.
Riverfront Park’s Looff Carrousel is closed for maintenance until the end of February.
Riverfront Park assistant manager Debby Dodson said the Carrousel closes every year at this time for annual repairs.
“What we do depends on the need of the Carrousel,” Dodson said.
This year’s repairs will include mending one horse’s broken leg, sanding and painting the horses and new coats of paint on the floor and benches.
Dodson said this year’s maintenance will cost about $5,000.
The Carrousel, built in 1909, is one of only 45 operating antique carousels in the nation and averages more than 200,000 riders every year.
