Idaho coach Don Verlin said Tuesday the senior guard won’t make the trip to Reno, Nev., where the Vandals play Nevada at 6 p.m. Thursday in the first round of the Western Athletic Conference tournament.

So unless the Vandals run the table in Reno or somehow wrangle another berth in an obscure postseason tournament, it looks like Watson’s college career is done.  All because — we must assume, amid the official silence on the matter of why — he couldn’t resist critiquing his coach in the Twittersphere.

When Verlin announced the suspension Friday, he seemed to be leaving open the possibility that Watson could talk his way out of this punishment after the Vandals’ regular-season finale Saturday night against Hawaii.

You might notice, if you check out Watson’s Twitter page, that he is now “protecting his tweets” from public view. Apparently, this wasn’t apology enough.

Of course, the Lewiston Tribune was first by 16 years. Back in 1994 then-Trib A&E reporter Nicole Peradotto did a feature on Osborne when he was named host of the fledgling cable network. Osborne is a native of Colfax, and one of the things the Trib’s A&E section has always done a lot of is cover the “local kid makes good” story.

That 1994 story can be found here.

Shales doesn’t mention Colfax in his story, only that Osborne graduated from the University of Washington.

Osborne joins Yakima Canutt (1895-1986) as one of the most famous Colfax natives. Canutt was a famed Hollywood stuntman and second-unit director (he directed the famous chariot race in “Ben-Hur”) and was awarded an honorary Oscar in 1966 “for achievements as a stunt man and for developing safety devices to protect stunt men everywhere” according to IMDB.com.

“Wow just gott in trouble for my Twitter comments!! Gotta watch wat u say may hurt peoples feelings.”

Watson, who banked home a 60-foot shot at the halftime buzzer of Idaho’s win over San Jose State on Thursday night, was hit with the suspension Friday “for conduct detrimental to the program,” a UI news release said.

“Kashif’s suspension is a matter that he must work through in order to be reinstated for practice and play,” coach Don Verlin said in the release. “The matter will be revisited prior to the WAC tournament next week.”

It isn’t yet known whether Watson, a senior guard, will participate in Senior Night festivities Saturday when the Vandals play Hawaii in a regular-season finale.

Twin City Foods processes peas and other agricultural commodities. It is demolishing its Lewiston operations after shifting them to its plants in Washington state. The other is a thriving high tech Moscow business that had its best profit ever in 2009 in spite of the stumbling economy. It develops tests to determine concentrations of drugs in parts of the human body such as hair, skin or blood.   

But together the stories I did about them in recent weeks reveal a lot about what’s happening in the economy.  Read the Twin Cities Food story here. Read the Alturas Analytics story here.

Twin City Foods closed its Lewiston plant because it found it could do the same work in other locations without having as many employees. That’s a well documented trend in manufacturing.  Last year the Tribune ran an Associated Press story that talked about how the United States remains a world wide leader in manufacturing.  But it doesn’t seem that way because in many instances the work is done with fewer people as plants have gone high tech.

The people who worked at Twin City Foods either retired or found new work, often, according to my sources, with reduced benefits.

Their circumstances combined with what’s happening at Alturas Analytics make me think that its going to be a lot harder for the United States to get itself out of this economic mess than any politician has acknowledged.

At Alturas Analytics, the company is finding as  specialized and high level as its work is, some of it is going overseas because the costs are cheaper.

 As many of the jobs in traditional  manufacturing disappear, we need to find living wage jobs for people who aren’t rocket scientists. Many economic development specialists, including ones in this area, point to the high tech sector as the part of the economy that will do that.

I have a lot of questions about that strategy. Let’s face it, you can do whatever it is you want to do to a point, but some people,  no matter how hard they try, will never be brain surgeons or even computer technicians capable of doing the tasks new manufacturing systems require. And even in the high tech sector, as Alturas Analytics has found,  there’s no way Americans are going to have employment unless their ideas can consistently compete at the globabl level.

BREWSTER, Wash.- The Brewster Police Department has released the names of the three high schools targeted by 17-year-old Charles Mustoe in a shooting spree he outlined on social networking site Facebook. Mustoe told police he was targeting Brewster High School, Chelan High School, and Bridgeport High School. The shootings were set to take place April 20, 2011, 12 years to the day after the Columbine shooting spree.

Mustoe was arrested after authorities were alerted to a Facebook discussion he was having with an as-yet unidentified 14 year-old girl. During the exchange, Mustoe mentions planning the shooting, even detailing the guns he planned to use.

The girl lives with her parents on Vancouver Island in Canada. Her father apparently found the conversation and alerted the Canadian Royal Mounted Police, who then alerted officials in Brewster, where Mustoe lives. Mustoe was detained by authorities and questioned, before being placed under arrest.

Mustoe was charged with conspiracy to commit assault and placed in an Okanogan Juvenile Detention Center, where he remained Monday morning. All firearms available to Mustoe were turned over to the Brewster Police Department by Mustoe’s parent and gunowner.

The Canadian RMCP say the 14-year-old girl is not being treated as a suspect and they are crediting her family with putting a stop to the plan. The girl’s father says they are getting her help and hope her story serves as a warning for other parents.
