• HUMAN REMAINS STORY CUT OFF: A few words in a story in the article, “Hikers discover human remains near Carbonado,” published April 13, were cut off in the print publication due to our own human error in laying out the paper. We regret the error. The story should have concluded: “If the person can’t be identified, the sheriff will ask the public for help, Moss said.”

• DIFFERENT KIND OF DEMOCRAT: Human error led to a typographical mistake in the editing process of Rich Elfers’ March 30 column, “A midterm election prediction”. We capitalized ‘democrat’ in the second sentence of the piece, which incorrectly changed the meaning of the word from “a supporter of democracy” to “a member of the Democratic party.” The sentence should have started: “Just as the democrat has to be responsive to the people when governing…” We will endeavor to be more conservative — small c — when making those kinds of edits in the future.

• NO FILING YET AGAINST BUCKLEY IN SHOOTING CASE: An attorney representing the family of Quincy Bishop, who was shot and killed by three officers (including a Buckley officer) in 2020, has not yet filed suit against the city of Buckley, the attorney said Thursday. In the article, “Investigators find fatal 2020 police shooting of Carbonado man justified,” published Jan. 14, attorney Jack Connelly said the Bishop family would pursue legal action against the city and police department over Bishop’s “senseless and unnecessary” death. Police say Bishop grabbed a gun when officers tried to pull him from his truck to arrest him, and refused to drop it as an officer struggled to wrest it from his hands. Three officers ultimately fired at Bishop in that struggle, killing him. All three, including the Buckley officer, were cleared in a use-of-force investigation from the Pierce County Prosecutor and found to have acted in good faith due to Bishop posing an imminent threat to their lives. The Courier-Herald will follow this story.
