Monday, January 09, 2017Inslee last week signed a reprieve for Clark Richard Elmore, who had been convicted of raping and killing his girlfriend’s 14-year-old daughter, Kristy Ohnstad, in Bellingham in 1995. Elmore will remain in prison for life. With his legal appeals exhausted, Elmore’s execution had been scheduled for Jan. 19.Despite Inslee’s moratorium, executions are still part of state law, so any reprieves require that Inslee exercise his authority as governor.No execution date had been set for Woods.
Monday, October 10, 2016Gordon Pederson taught his son the game of football. He was his first coach. When the elder Pederson moved from Bellingham, Wash., to Monroe, La., to start a new job, he went to the local college and dropped off high school film of Doug to the head football coach."Back then it was VHS tapes," Doug said.Gordon's initiative eventually led to a scholarship at Northeastern Louisiana - now Louisiana-Monroe. But the rest - setting then-Division I-AA passing records, persevering through countless rejections to last 13 years in the NFL, and ascending in short time to the pinnacle of the coaching pyramid - Doug did mostly on his own."He taught me the importance of work and how to work hard, and be the leader of the football team," Pederson said this past week. "I wanted to be a receiver. He said, 'No, you're going to be the quarterback because we don't have anybody that can take a snap.'"That's how I became a quarterback and played it my whole life."Gordon was able to watch Doug's entire playing career. He won't get the opportunity to see his son finally lead an NFL team.He knew what Doug had accomplished, though. Gordon suffered a stroke in December 2014 right before Christmas. After a two-month stint in the intensive-care unit, he bounced between his home and assisted living. He was never the same.But when the Eagles named Pederson head coach in January, he did recognize his son's achievement. Doug brought him...
Monday, September 26, 2016I teach a different kind of journalism, advocacy journalism in behalf of the environment, yet hewing to basic principles of literacy, accuracy, fairness and meeting the deadline,” he told The Bellingham Herald in 2007.Born in New York City, he served in World War II as an air transport navigator before becoming a reporter with The Washington Post. He next wrote travel articles for national magazines and newspapers before turning his focus to the environment.“As a travel writer I spent a lot of time in the parks and forests,” Frome told The Herald in 1995. “I just became more interested in protection than promotion.”He wrote more than 20 books and numerous articles for newspapers and magazines about the natural world and the need to protect it. In his next career shift, he taught environmental journalism in Vermont, Pennsylvania, Idaho and Wisconsin before coming to Western’s Huxley College of the Environment in 1987. He retired from Western eight years later and celebrated his 75th birthday that year by riding a hot air balloon over Ferndale.Frome received numerous honors over the years. His most recent book was “Rediscovering National Parks in the Spirit of John Muir,” from The University of Utah Press.In a 2007 interview with The Herald, Frome was asked how he would like to be remembered. Along with being remembered as a dedicated, competent, ethical professional, he added, “more important, personally, that I treasured friendships, and went out smiling.”Services for Michael Frome will be in Wisconsin. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to: Ozaukee Washington...
