Sanders campaigns in Spokane
Will swing through
Seattle on Friday
Woman steals

Oregon home
“I like the way he is
addressing inequality.
He stays away from
harmful rhetoric.”

SPOKANE — Democratic
presidential
hopeful
Bernie
Sanders said Thursday that he was
the strongest candidate to beat
Republican Donald Trump as he
campaigned in Spokane ahead of
Saturday’s Democratic caucuses.
The U.S. senator kicked off a
two-day visit on Thursday with
stops in Spokane and Yakima.
He’ll swing through Seattle on
Friday.
“It does look like Spokane is
ready for a political revolution,”
Sanders told a crowd of about
3,000 at the 11,000-seat Spokane
Veterans Memorial Arena during a
rally that started at 2 p.m.
Sanders said the top goal of
Democrats was to retain the White
House and that the party needed
the strongest candidate to do that:
“And you are looking at him,”
Sanders said to cheers.
Sanders pointed to his victo-
ries in Utah and Idaho earlier
this week to show his campaign
is gaining momentum against
Hillary Clinton, and urged people
to attend caucuses on Saturday.
“Get there early,” he said. “Let’s
have a record-breaking turnout.”
This was Sanders’ second
visit to Spokane this week. Some
10,000 people tried to squeeze into
the Spokane Convention Center
to see Sanders last Sunday, with
most having to watch him speak
on video screens outside.
Supporters in Thursday’s
crowd were effusive in their praise
of Sanders.
“He gets me,” said Destin

ROSEBURG (AP) —
Authorities say a woman in
Oregon stole an ambulance while
paramedics were inside a home
dealing with a medical emergency.
The News-Review reports that
Roseburg police and Douglas
County deputies chased the stolen
ambulance through the streets of
Roseburg on Wednesday. They
eventually arrested the female
driver at gunpoint.
Douglas County Fire District
No. 2 Chief Greg Marlar says a

getting on the interstate and didn’t
recognize the driver.
Police haven’t named the
woman who was arrested. They
say nothing seems to have been
stolen from the ambulance, but a
bottle of liquor was found inside.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.,
speaks at a campaign rally in Spokane, Wash., Thursday.
Cooper, 23, of Spokane, who
works for a pizza delivery busi-
ness. “He wants the greater good.”
Cooper plans to caucus for
Sanders on Saturday.
Carlie King, 21, of Spokane,
a nursing student, also plans to
caucus for Sanders.
“I like the way he is addressing
inequality,” King said. “He stays
away from harmful rhetoric.”
King said even though some of
Sanders’ positions might appear
unrealistic, they serve to give
people hope.
Gilbert Mendoza, 63, of
Spokane, is retired and making his

He said he will turn out for Sanders
Saturday.
“I’ve never done this before,”
Mendoza said. “There has never
been somebody like Bernie to
support.”
“He will help small people rise
from the economic situation we
are in,” Mendoza said.
There are 118 Democratic
delegates at stake in Washington,
with 101 to be awarded propor-
tionally based on the results of the
caucuses. The remaining 17 are
superdelegates, or party leaders
who can back any candidate they
wish — though a majority of them
have said they support former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Washington has the most
delegates at stake among the
three states holding Democratic
caucuses on Saturday. The other
two states are Hawaii and Alaska.
Clinton has taken a strong lead
in the delegate race, having won
1,214 pledged delegates so far in
primaries and caucuses, according
to The Associated Press’ count.
Sanders has won 911 delegates.
When factoring in superdele-
gates, Clinton holds a 1,681-937
lead. It takes 2,383 delegates to
win the nomination
Refuge occupier
charged with theft of
government property
PORTLAND (AP) — A man
who participated in the occupation
of a national wildlife refuge in
Oregon has been charged with
theft of government property.
A grand jury indictment accuses
Scott Willingham of taking
government-owned cameras on
Jan. 15.
That’s the day occupation
spokesman Robert “LaVoy”
Finicum removed surveillance
cameras installed near Burns.
A video of the removal shows
Willingham with Finicum.
Willingham told The Oregonian
last month he was part of the
security team at the refuge.
He said he left after key leaders
were arrested Jan. 26 and Finicum
was shot to death as he attempted
to elude police.
Willingham was arrested on
a weapons charge last week in
Grant County and said during his
arraignment that he expected to
be indicted in connection with the
occupation.
He was transferred to a Portland
jail on Wednesday. He does not yet
have an attorney.

McKibbin was last seen
Wednesday afternoon when he

reported.
The U.S. Coast Guard soon

a neighbor of McKibbin’s for more
