Plus, a Republican presidential nominee hasn't won Wisconsin since Reagan
The Journal Sentinel's Craig Gilbert explores political trends in a purple state and beyond.
Wisconsin primary unfolds in the shadow of the state's all-consuming Walker recall fight
Wisconsin's April 3 election is the first time in 32 years that Republicans in this state will get to vote in a truly competitive GOP presidential primary.
Yet for many in the party here, the real action lies elsewhere.
Like everything else about politics in Wisconsin, the Republican presidential race is operating under the giant shadow of the recall fight over Gov. Scott Walker. »Read Full Blog Post

The lack of interest in the Republican primary has a lot more to do with the potential nominees than it does with the recall. You have the founder of Obamacare running against a religious nut.
Plus, a Republican presidential nominee hasn't won Wisconsin since ReaganHide replies
Founder of Obamacare? Kinda sorta. Religious nut? Compared to lib's who will comment right behind me.... Heck Yes!
All I know is that EITHER MAN is far superior to the Marxist Ideologue we currently have in the white house.
Have you ever read any Marx? Can you name anything Obama has done that is "Marxist"?
Hint: Obamacare and "individual mandate" are not valid answers
Soros' Goal: "One World Socialist Government." Frequent White House Visitor, Convicted Felon and Communist, George Soros Bought the 2008 Election and Obama. He Recruited Jeffrey Sachs in the 80's to Make Huge Sums of Money by Crashing Markets Throughout the World. Soros is Now Running America with the Help of Media, Hundreds of Organizations, a Financial Mafia and the World's Richest People. George Soros is the Face of the Communist Takeover of America.
Any proof that Obama is a Marxist?
DTOMB, of course donrody doesn't have anything. He's keeping to the tea party, Fox news enforced, talking points. He's been trained in Saul Alinsky tactics. Tea party = fascists. Except they don't even know they're backing fascists. Fringes of society.
Back in an hour. Off to my union mtg.
I hope you're not watching the Badgers (public education), tea party, as Fascist hate public education and the Packers (union). Or you may be a hypocrite, which is it?
There is a whole world out there beyond Fox, Donrody. I worry what you would do if Fox told watchers to jump off the nearest bridge. Most of them would!

Santorum!! RomneyCare=ObamaCareHide replies
Home school for all and an evangelical in every house. The rapture is upon us...or was that last year, or the year before, or twenty years ago?
Next week...trust me.
Guarantee you that Santorum is not the one doing the homeschooling. I'll vote for him in the primary, for sure, because he supremely unelectable and it will be a divine pleasure to see him debate President Obama. Now let me go pop some popcorn.
I hope it's Sanitarium.
Santorum believes in the literal truth of the Bible so he believes the earth is the center of the universe and less than 5000 years. He believes woman are too dumb to make any decisions and need no health care...
I believe talk radio is simple questions, with simple answers, for simple minds....
I wonder who is supporting Santorum?
Saturday's GOP Rally for Rick Santorum in Milwaukee has Michelle Malkin, Paul Ryan, and Ron Johnson on the agenda to speak (so far). Hmm, I wonder who they endorse?
I know everyone coming backs SCOTT WALKER!
Does that mean all you Unionistas are going to vote for the Racist Marxist in the white house? Shame, Shame. How un-american!Hide replies
WOW What a star-studded lineup !!! LOL LOL LOL
"unionistas" and "marsist". Tea party 101. If you endorse Santorum, does that make you a dominionist? If you endorse either him or Romney, does that mean you're a fascist. Just askin', cause Wall Street Walker is.
dontoady, your comment was so cartoonish, at first I thought you were being sophisticatedly sarcastic. Now I know it was just cartoonish.
koch, I think it means simple minds think alike.
Agreed. Badgers down 4 to those of you that support public education and are Badgers fans...oops...down 1!

There will be dozens of people there to support the wing nuts. DOZENS, plus a whole lot more who were paid to be there. It's how the GOP rolls. Can't actually find supporters? Buy some!
Ryan has essentially endorsed Santorum? I didn't know that.
Don't forget the Muslim influance.
Wow, Repubs have the choice of either Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum or Etch-a-Sketch Mitt, both of whom are trailing Obama by 7 percentage points... Good luck on picking which one of those is "less bad", lol.Hide replies

I dont know what polls your looking at but Obamgedden has a 41% approval

There is a big difference between jobs,gates and the like of walker jobs and co left early to pursue other interest walker spent four years in college without getting a diploma
Terry is right. He's not a dropout: he got asked to leave. Now THAT sounds more like him, doesn't it?
Boy Scout's asked to leave Marquette. Now THAT sounds more like the AFSCME talking point!

There go the Leftard lies again
posted earlier today...
While many on the left rail against Mitt Romney I support him as candidate for POTUS representing the Republican Party. His progressive leadership is just what this country needs as we reclaim our pre-eminent status as leader of the free world. He stands behind his record as Governor of Massachusetts and is a critical part of his resume--
> Understands and supports initiatives to minimize the impact of Global Warming.
> Supports Government mandated Universal Healthcare.
> Supports Stem Cell Research.
> Pro-Life and Reproductive Rights supporter.
> Understands a progression towards equal rights and marriage rights for the gay community. Early supporter of DADT as a stepping stone to that ultimate goal.
> Raising the minimum wage
> Importance of a pathway for citizenship of undocumented workers residing in the USHide replies
"progressive leadership." Yeah, progressive today, regressive tomorrow, conservative yesterday. He's a corporatist, plain and simple.
Oops...may have missed the sarcasm. Sorry, watching the game...cannot multi-task, much like a linear thinking tea partyer.
another leftard expert on koc
I get the sarcasm, but I see many didn't! Can you say he will do anything and say anything ? Complete opposite now. I believe this is the best ad Obama can have, so I like him as the candidate. So much of this stuff to use against him, can you imagine him trying to make a decision?
It's an open primary...organized Democrats could throw the primary into a real mess!Hide replies
We want Santorum!!!
too bad bachman isnt running
Santorum-Bachman, same dif. Both a lil wacky.
RachelLynne I was having this same conversation today. There actually is a guy who has declared against Walker-- a Republican. Enough votes for him by Dems and Walker would be off the ballot unless he was able to stage a write-in. Those never work. I say we do it.
The last person I remember advocating something like that was Rush Limbaugh in 08, and he called it "Operation Chaos." All that accomplished -- for Republicans to try to muddy the waters by voting for Clinton in open primaries -- was to confuse themselves into nominating Sarah Palin for VP.
No thanks; I'd rather fight fair. If a Republican must win in 2012, I want him to be Romney.
Actually WFB, Lisa Murkowski scored a write-in victory over Palin endorsee Joe Miller in Alaska's 2010 Senate contest. Yes, with a last name like that.
Kind of torn on this one but i think i just will sit and watch the repugs run their own ship aground
TAC01, I believe Bachmann is still on the WI primary ballot for April 3.
Morals, principles and ethics mean something. I did not raise my kids to just worry about money, the society is far more important than just money.Hide replies
Bye walker!
The nice thing about having money, though, is that you have plenty of time to worry about morals, principles and ethics, instead of getting food on the table for your kids tonight.
If morals and ethics are meaningful to you, then you must not be a supporter of the current crop of Democrats.
Vote for Santorum! Keep the fight going and Guarantee Obama Victory.Hide replies
Santorum? You got to be kidding. Just not presidential. He's like my Whiny younger brother that no one listens to.

Condoleezza Rice is making historic stop today in the North African loony bin that is Muammar Gaddafi's Libya. The visit, the first by a U.S. secretary of state in over fifty years, is a reward for the Libyan tyrant's recent-but-much-delayed decision to pony up a billion dollars for a "Sorry 'Bout Murderin' Your Loved One" fund that will largely go to family members (and lawyers) of people killed by the Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Even though he couldn't use his airline ticket, Eric Smith refused to cancel his reservation on a United Airlines flight from Omaha to Baltimore.
The reason? Smith, a technician at an aerospace company in Montgomery Village, Md., ran a few numbers, with frustrating results.
His return ticket cost $134, plus baggage fees. But United's change fee, which was recently raised from $150 to $200, would have completely zeroed out the value of his credit. So he booked a one-way return flight on Southwest Airlines for $152 – about the same as his original flight, including baggage fees – and never looked back.
"Why should I spend any of my precious time on hold to cancel the ticket when I get absolutely nothing out of it?" he says. "To do the airline a favor? Do you think they would do me any favors?"
No one knows exactly how many passengers pull a no-show when their change fees exceed the value of their ticket credit, deliberately depriving an airline of its ability to resell their seats. But by almost all accounts, their numbers are rising, as airlines continue to raise the price of changing a nonrefundable airline ticket.
A United Airlines spokesman declined to comment on the subject of intentional no-shows in general, and Smith's case in particular. But it's hardly the only airline faced with customers who are angry about elevated change fees.
When Laura Attwood wanted to change her recent ticket on Alaska Airlines from Anchorage to Ketchikan to an earlier flight on the same day, the carrier told her that it would be happy to make the change as long as she paid a $100 fee. She refused, choosing instead to cash in miles for a new flight.
"In fact, I checked in and picked my seat on the flight I wasn't going to make, and confirmed it," says Attwood, who lives in Maple Bluff, Wis. "That way, they couldn't resell my seat. I was so mad that I had to pay a change fee."
An Alaska Airlines representative acknowledged that the airline experiences deliberate no-shows on some flights, although she wouldn't say how many. Yet its change fees are far more reasonable than those of other airlines. Alaska charges $75 for an online change and $100 if it's done through a call center. Effective Oct. 30, its call-center change fee jumps to $125. But any changes made two months before a flight don't incur any fees.
"It's an issue for us," says Marianne Lindsey, a spokeswoman for the airline. "When we experience no-shows, it results in unused seats, which translates to lost revenue."
The task of ensuring that these strategic absences aren't felt in the bottom line falls to airlines' sophisticated revenue-management programs, which are designed to oversell a flight based on a calculation that a certain number of passengers won't show up.
"On certain fares, and on certain routes, there will be a higher number of no-shows," says Warren Lieberman, president of the technology consulting firm Veritec Solutions and one of the pioneers in the field of airline revenue management. "If they're selling tickets for $149, you can predict that more passengers will walk away from the fare, because the change fee is $200."
But the programs handling airline seat inventory, which are called yield-management systems, don't need to be reset when change fees increase. Rather, the algorithms are "self-adjusting" and will automatically tweak prices and seat availability to fit passengers' behavior, says Lieberman. In other words, they already know that passengers like Attwood and Smith won't make their flights.
Hari Subramanian, a director for Sabre, a travel technology company, says that it's essential to use these systems to anticipate passenger behavior. "No one is going to come out and say, 'This is what we're willing to pay for a ticket,' or 'We won't show up for the flight if you do that.'"
In the airline industry, this kind of high-tech soothsaying is known as passenger choice modeling. It collects data about passenger behavior, including fares, connections, time of day and the type of traveler, and uses complex mathematical formulas to help airlines determine how many seats they can sell, and at what price. The modeling helps an airline make money.
And airlines are making lots of money from change fees. The domestic airlines collected more than $2.5 billion in ticket-change fees in 2012, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation, up from $2.4 billion a year before.
But perhaps unwittingly, American carriers have also begun playing a cat-and-mouse game with their own customers, in which they raise fees, and passengers in turn try to sabotage the revenue-management systems by walking away from a ticket credit that has been partially or fully consumed by a change fee.
Subramanian says that passengers can avoid the game by making smarter booking choices. The preferred airline solution is to buy a fully refundable ticket. But those fares are typically priced for business travelers on an expense account and can be three to four times as expensive as a nonrefundable ticket.
He recommends looking for a so-called "flexible fare," which some airlines offer – a special ticket that includes the benefit of waiving certain surcharges and would allow you to change your plans without having to pay a $200 fee.
The long-term solution, of course, is for both sides to practice a little restraint. Already, airlines such as Alaska and JetBlue have shown that there's some middle ground, and their experience suggests that passengers are willing to accept some fees, as long as they're reasonable. Southwest Airlines seems to confound even the experts by having no change fees at all.
And what if airlines and their customers can't come to an understanding? It's difficult to imagine change fees climbing any further without the government stepping in and saying, "Enough."

Google Play Music updated with offline radio and much more
It's a pretty solid bet that Google apps will be updated quite often. We recently saw updates to Google Maps, Drive, Hangouts, Chrome and more. Now, we're getting an update to Google Play Music that adds quite a few nice features in addition to the requisite bug fixes. This update brings offline radio support and much more to the service.
The biggest addition of all is the option to now have radio stations saved for offline listening. Unfortunately, this doesn't work with the "I'm feeling lucky" station, but all other stations can now be saved to your device if you'd like. Beyond that, we get into some nice features that probably don't have huge appeal. If you're someone who messes around with a lot of devices, you can now manage the devices that get access to Google Play Music right in the app rather than only on the website. You can manually refresh your account, in case you really want to get that new album that you uploaded. And, a "Play Next" option has been added which will quickly add a song as the next track in a playlist, which makes things much easier.
There are also a number of bug fixes and tweaks in the update. The position of the Chromecast button has moved, and the overflow menu has been killed off in favor of putting those options in the left-hand hamburger menu.
Overall, it's a solid update. If you want the newness, the update should be rolling out through Google Play soon enough, or you can get the manual install file at the source.

Is it available in India? I am asking this because Google's Play music All Access is not available in India. Most of the music streaming app like Pandora and Spotify doesn't work in India. May be because of some legal restrictions and copyright issues.

I want to share with you the wildflower walk I took today. I think it will take more than 1 blog, so if you enjoy the walk, please watch for my second blog. We did get some clouds today, so I have another altocumulus cloud photo to add to my cloud journal.
As you can see, it was another exquisite day in Ohio!
As I had hoped to, I was able to take a walk in the nature preserve this afternoon. Last year, I timed it wrong and missed the early spring blooms, but this year, I hit it just right. Many of my favorite wildflowers were in bloom; I hope you will enjoy them as much as I do.
One of the flowers I was really hoping not to miss was the giant trillium - they are so beautiful!
This is its humbler cousin, the toad trillium, which I am also very fond of.
This is a cut leaf toothwort, which as positively gleaming in the sun today.
I love the way the Virginia bluebells can grow so precipitously along the rocky outcroppings.
Another flower that I was very happy not to have missed is the hepatica. They have tiny blooms and tuck themselves in so you have to watch for them.
The marsh marigold adds brilliant splashes of yellow to the woodland floor.
The sweet yellow violet adds it's bright color in little sparks instead of the blanket of color offered by the marsh marigold.
The Dutchman's britches bloom in graceful arcs.
They squeeze into nooks and crannies, rocky ledges, tree roots, their delicate flowers brighten any part of the woods.
The bell worts offer a subtle touch of yellow.
The trout lilies are almost at the end of their blooming season, so I was very happy to find some still in bloom.
If you have enjoyed these, watch for my next Spring Walk blog.
This has been a very satisfying and inspirational day for me.
Oh, I forgot - I'm a school teacher!
My domestic help are my trees, flowers, vegetables, birds, deer, coyotes - all of the things around me that bring joy to my life. "Coyotes?" you say? I love to hear them sing at night. They run along the creek banks yodeling. They are, however, the reason I needed a more secure chicken coop before getting the babies.
Yesterday was wildflower day, so today, it is the domestic help:
Redbud blossoms against a perfect sky
More Narcissus
And yet another
On a more serene note, this is my granddaughter, Lilee's, memorial tree. Below is a detail of the buds.
Below her tree is a lily garden, and close by is my meditation garden with water lilies. The water garden photo is from last year.
I look forward to spending time in my meditation garden this summer.
Have a very lovely Saturday. Find time to enjoy friends and family, take in the world around you, play, laugh, and breathe in spring.
What's up?
Well, a most magnificently blue sky dappled with altocumulus clouds. The wind is blowing clod today, but it has been impossible to stay inside any longer than necessary. It is an exquisitely beautiful day.
My walk revealed an array of wildflowers emerging from the rich loamy soil of the woods.
Pale, almost white, violets are up..
Dark violet violets are up..
Spring beauties are up...
Trout lilies are up..
May apples are up..
Solomon's seal is up..
Wild ginger is up..
Ramps are up..
Green dragons are up..
My mood is up...
The clouds and sky inspired and motivated me today. I think I may start a cloud and bloom journal, at least for a while. Perhaps because the winter sky was relentlessly gray with looming, dark, low slung clouds I am so enthralled with the drama of the changes of cloud formations and the different hues and depths of color of the sky.
Hidden under the snow accumulations, protected by the insulating thick blanket of snow, the first flowers lay dormant, waiting for just such changes in the weather. It is so gratifying to see my old friends emerge each spring. I have been watching for my jack-in-the-pulpits and the first fronds of the woodland ferns, but they are still waiting for the perfect conditions for them.
I also took photographs of the first buds of the flowering trees and of some of the narcissus gracing the borders. They will have to have their own page though.
I am looking forward to having time to walk in the nature preserve this weekend, to relaxing, to getting my hands into the vegetable garden dirt, and to having time to play music.
The babies are really growing! They are really feathering out; it is now so easy to tell the barred rocks from the australorps as the barred rocks are developing distinctive striping. Denty is an australorp hen - I am so happy that she is a girl!
One of the barred rock babies.
Denty - the little chick that hatched from the egg that almost didn't make it.
The student concert went very well. The children were exuberant, and the parents delighted. The parent who emailed me wondering if her child was required to come, arrived right on time with her child and had a ball. All of their research reports and projects (which were really cool) were on display in the hall, so parents had a great time looking over the results of everyone's hard work after the concert. It was a very pleasant evening.
As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, I have been hectically busy, so it's been hard to get in all of my exercise routines. However, I have been getting in my 10,000 steps, and sometimes more that that each day. I have been enjoying my long walks with Stella in the morning before work, one when I get home, and our evening walks together. This evening, it was a bit chilly after being unseasonably hot for the past week, but the evening was lovely nonetheless.
Really, the beauty around me can take my breath away. It is hard to stay fixed on daily irritations when put in the perspective of the grander scheme of things. I love my walks for that more than any other benefits - they are a moving meditation. They center me and offer balance to the busy 'noise' of the day and of my mind.
*Faculty meeting plus parent conferences today
*Student concert Thursday
*Parent conferences Friday
*Finding new theater for spring musical production after getting a raw deal from the original theater
*Rehearsing the children (cast of 30)
*Dishwasher kapput
*Chicks (doing very well - growing by leaps and bounds)
*Stella the goofball (who was a total princess today in class - I'm so proud of her!)
*Getting in my walks, yoga, and strength training
The sacrificial lambs: playing my guitar, keeping the house organized
Ahhh, spring, glorious spring! I love it, but this is only the tip of the Being Busy Iceberg until June, which is a very funny month because everything comes to a screeching halt after the rapidly increasing demands of April and May.

TN Tech Elizabethton
- 0May 31, '11 by gonnago4itAny TTE students-to-be here? I will be starting in January.
- 0Jul 9, '11 by gonnago4itI am scared to death of how it is going to be. Is it as bad as they say?
- 1Jul 9, '11 by hope1234Not sure what everyone has told u but it is VERY fast paced. We do anywhere from 2-4 chp. in A&P per week. They try to cram as much as they can in before we start clinicials, which i am already doing,and only started in May. The Foundations is'nt to bad, mostly common sense stuff. Get your social life in now cause u wont have much time for one after u start. I study 5-6 hrs each night.
If u can, get u a A&P book now and get a head start. That helped me alot. And study up on MedTerm.
- 0Jul 12, '11 by gonnago4itWow your doing your clinicals already?
- 1Jul 12, '11 by hope1234yep. started 2 weeks ago. LTC first then hospitals and dr office.
- 0Jul 19, '11 by gonnago4itSo you won't be there the whole year? Any Idea when you might expect to finish and get your LPN? I was told its about a year but dependent on the person. I am a little unclear on that part. If there is a way for me to finish early I will completely absorb myself into my studies.
- 1Jul 19, '11 by hope1234I expect to graduate April 2012. To my knowledge, there is no way to graduate early. The class is 11 months for all. We all learn and test together. U will b evaluated each term. U must maintain a 81 average to remain in the class. Not to say your grades cant drop below 81. Im saying, at the end of each term, after u have taken the final for each class that term, your average for each class must b 81 or above to advance to the next term. Hope this helps
- 0Jul 19, '11 by gonnago4itThank you very much. You answered a lot of my questions in your last post. I have gotten mixed answers from TTE.
- 0Jul 20, '11 by hope1234U r welcome, anytime. It is all very confusing. oh, one more thing off the top of my head. Dont plan on buying ur books cheaper online. They wont release the book list. They kinda force u to buy it from the bookstore. And if they tell u that you will get ur fin. aid reembursement check( if u get fin.aid), soon after u start, that is wrong. We got ours last week.

Feeling Scrooge-ish? Just visit the Festival of Trees
"It is hard to leave here without being in the holiday spirit," said Kathy Smith, administrator of the building.
All this week, the building's first-ever Festival of Trees is taking place, and the public is encouraged to stop inside and enjoy the beautifully adorned Christmas trees.
Various businesses and local organizations volunteered to donate and decorate artificial trees for the event, which is serving as a fundraiser for the building's ongoing restoration project.Among the most unique trees now on display is a tree from the Nashua Police Department that is decked out in crime scene tape and highlighted with a police siren on the top.
Bellavance agreed, adding the Festival of Trees and the city's holiday tree standing just outside of the Hunt Memorial Building set the ideal scene for the holiday season.
All proceeds from the event will be used to help restore the city-owned Hunt Memorial Building, specifically by improving the front entrance doors to the facility at 6 Main St.The 1903 building has been beautifully refurbished, as it previously underwent more than $1 million in renovations.

Posts tagged: home-invasion robberies
A Spokane man arrested for a May home-invasion robbery has been cleared of wrongdoing in what his lawyer says was a case of mistaken identity.
Joshua Clint Epperson, 32, still faces seven felony gun, drug, burglary and theft charges for a May 1 burglary.
Police believe Epperson stole guns, electronics and jewelry from a home in the Country Homes area to help pay a $1,000 debt to his heroin dealer. Epperson's girlfriend, Chelsey M. Loe, also is suspected in the case. Investigators searched the couple's home at 51 E. Crown on May 6 and recovered meth and suspected stolen property.
Epperson was summonsed to court for an arraignment but arrested just a few days before for a May 22 home invasion robbery in the Indian Trail area. Robbery and kidnapping charges were dismissed in Spokane County Superior Court on Thursday. Epperson is to stay with a friend in North Spokane if he's released from jail. His lawyer said he possibly has a job at a tattoo parlor.
Suspects Erik J. Zacher, 26, and Nathan W. Day, 21, still are charged for the home-invasion robbery. Nathan T. McDaniels, 28, alias Gardner, was sentenced last month to 10 years in prison.
Past coverage:
A robber who fled a north Spokane home after being struck with a sword has been sentenced to nearly 11 years in prison.
Nathan T. McDaniels, 28, alias Gardner, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit first-degree burglary and two counts of first-degree robbery and was sentenced by Superior Court Judge Greg Sypolt to 129 months, according to court records.
McDaniels was arrested in May for a robbery in the 9600 block of North Alpine Court, as was Nathan W. Day, 21.
Joshua Clint Epperson, 32, a level 3 sex offender, was arrested later in May. Erik J. Zacher, 26, was arrested in July.
The men are accused of entering the home about 2:45 a.m. on May 2, binding residents with zip ties and pistol whipping. The attackers asked about a safe and stolen several items. Police found a stolen Wii console and baggies of methamphetamine when they arrested Day at a home in the 900 block of East Wabash Avenue. They say he had a stolen handgun with him that may have been used in the robberies.
One resident told police four men knocked on the door and he let McDaniels in to use the bathroom. One of the men asked him if he wanted to smoke meth, and the man said he walked the men downstairs to wake up his girlfriend. That's when Day displayed the gun and the man was bound with zip ties as others stole items from the home, court documents say.
Another suspect in a home-invasion robbery has been arrested after his alleged accomplice told police about a crime that hadn't been reported.
Travis Heath Bertholf, 40, is accused of robbing an apartment in the 2500 block of East Hartson Avenue with David Fredrick Smith sometime in May.
Spokane County sheriff's Detectives Jack Rosenthal and Mike Ricketts were on a tour of home-invasion robbery sites with Smith after his arrest when Smith directed them to the Hartson location.
They identified the resident, Loyalee Elton, through utility records and contacted her. She told them two men wearing bandannas over their faces robbed her of a backpack containing 200 to 300 watches at gunpoint, according to court documents. Her brother also was held at gunpoint.
One of the men threatened to kill her, Elton said. Smith told police he and Bertholf entered the residence through an open back door. Smith had a 9 mm semi-automatic gun; Bertholf had a .380 semi-automatic, documents say.
Smith admitted to pointing a gun at Elton when she pleaded with him not to take the back, police say.
Bertholf was arrested Thursday about 1:30 p.m. He appeared in court today on charges of first-degree robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm. He has 13 felony convictions that prohibit him from possessing firearms, including a drug conviction from last October.
Smith also is in jail. He is charged with a series of home-invasion robberies with suspect Flint Fire Herrmann.
Two suspected serial robbers apparently picked the wrong target back in late May, Spokane police say.
Flint Fire Herrmann, 35, and David Fredrick Smith, 41, are charged with first-degree robbery for an invasion May 29 at a home in the 1900 block of West 26th Ave. Already in jail, they appeared in Spokane County Superior Court on the new charges Tuesday.
A victim told police one of the men "was yelling at the other male telling him they had the wrong people and they should leave," according to court documents. The other man tried to steal a portable video game player "only breaking it instead," police wrote
A resident said she awoke about 11:30 p.m. to a masked man standing next to her bed "pointing a large gun in her face." The woman said the man called her "Chandra" and demanded heroin, hen got very upset when she told him he had the wrong person. The woman feared two other men in the home had been killed , and that she was about to be killed, police say.
Two nights later, Herrmann and Smith successfully robbed a home in the 4400 block of East 46th Avenue of drugs and cash. They're also suspected in a robbery that same night at a home on West Spofford Avenue. Smith also is believed to have shot Robert Ruth during a robbery on West Princeton Avenue on May 29. Ruth is accused of helping cop shooter Charles Wallace.
Police arrested Smith in June and searched his home in the 2600 block of West Dell Avenue, where they recovered bandanas, a ski mask, 9 mm gun and a .380 Revolver.
A fourth suspect has been arrested in a home-invasion robbery in the Indian Trail area that ended with a resident confronting his attackers with a sword.
Erik J. Zacher, 26, is accused of robbing residents in the 9600 block of North Alpine Court in May.
Suspects Nathan W. Day, 21, and Nathan T. McDaniels, 28, were arrested a day after the robbery. McDaniels still is there; Day is out on $25,000 bond. Joshua Clint Epperson, 32, a level 3 sex offender, was arrested later in May and remains in jail.
The men are accused of entering the home about 2:45 a.m. on May 2, binding residents with zip ties and pistol whipping. The attackers asked about a safe and stolen several items. Police found a stolen Wii console and baggies of methamphetamine when they arrested Day at a home in the 900 block of East Wabash Avenue. They say he had a stolen handgun with him that may have been used in the robberies.
One resident told police four men knocked on the door and he let McDaniels in to use the bathroom. One of the men asked him if he wanted to smoke meth, and the man said he walked the men downstairs to wake up his girlfriend. That's when Day displayed the gun and the man was bound with zip ties as others stole items from the home, court documents say.
Zacher is charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree burglary, two counts of first-degree robbery, second-degree assault and three counts of first-degree kidnapping. He was arrested Saturday.
A man who was arrested leaving a suspected robber's home with a bag of marijuana is now wanted for a gunpoint home-invasion robbery two days earlier.
Oladejo B. Olajoyegbe, 24 (left), is accused of robbing a home in the 1700 block of East Columbia Avenue July 3 with Derek L. Wilson, 25 (left), and Christopher M. Comer, 24 (right). Wilson and Comer were arrested July 5.
An officer was watching Wilson's home at 2408 E. Francis Ave. as a detective prepared a search warrant when he spotted a man later identified Olajoyegbe, who is Wilson's cousin, knock on the door, then look in basement windows before walking to the side of the house and leaving five minutes later with a large white plastic bag, according to court documents.
Police stopped the car at East Wellesley Avenue and Argonne Road and arrested the driver, Lashanette Beavers, and the passenger, Olajoyegbe.
Olajoyegbe told police his cousin lives at the home and allowed him to take the marijuana, which police say weighed over a pound and consisted of cuttings from marijuana plants.
Olajoyegbe left jail on $5,000 bond for a marijuana charge but is now wanted for first-degree robbery after prosecutors filed charges July 9. He's accused of robbing the East Columbia Avenue home while wearing a mask and brandishing a handgun. A woman and her daughter were ordered to the floor as the home was ransacked.
The robbers stole medical marijuana, a PlayStation 3, and iPad 2 and a cellphone and wallet.
Police believe the robbery was arranged by the girlfriend of Brettly "Nike" Sanderson, who is accused of robberies at McDonald's and at a home on North Hogan Street. The 16-year-old girl knew the younger victim from middle school and was at the home just minutes before the robbery under a ruse of owing her $5.
She told police she arranged the robbery "as a copycat home-invasion robbery to take the suspicion off her boyfriend who is in jail for this kind of crime," according to court documents.
Comer and Wilson, who faces life in prison under the three-strikes law, are in jail.
Now Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for tips that lead to Olajoyegbe's capture.
Olajoyegbe, 6-foot-2 and 175 pounds, last gave an address in Lynwood, Wash. He has previous convictions for forgery and first-degree armed burglary. Anyone with information on his location is asked to call 1-800-222-TIPS or submit tips online.
Two men believed to be serial home robbers are responsible for a takeover-style invasion at a residence on the South Hill in late May.
Flint Fire Herrmann, 35, robbed the home at gunpoint with David F. Smith, already in jail for a May 31 robbery at a home on West Spofford Avenue, according to Spokane police.
Herrmann and Smith, 40, are accused targeting two safes with cash, coins and narcotics inside when they knocked on the door of a home in the 4400 block of East 46th Avenue about 12:30 a.m.
A sleeping resident, Gordon Lagasse, III, awoke and answered the door but was knocked to the ground, then held at gunpoint while the other gunman stole the safes, according to court documents. The robbers also made Lagasse's father get on the floor at gunpoint.
The victims said they believe a family member "either intentionally or unintentionally informed another person" of the lock boxes, according to a search warrant filed last month by Detective Jack Rosenthal.
A cousin who admitted to detectives that she was a prostitute and a heroin addict said she knew of two men who commit robberies with shotguns while wearing black clothes and ski masks, according to the search warrant.
Smith also is believed to have shot Robert Ruth during a robbery on West Princeton Avenue on May 29. Ruth is accused of helping cop shooter Charles Wallace.
Members of the Spokane police Patrol Anti-Crime Team located Herrmann at his home in the 4200 block of West Everett Avenue in Spokane Sunday. His mother allowed police to search the home, and she showed Rosenthal where Herrmann's girlfriend had asked her to store a gun so he wouldn't go back to prison.
Rosenthal found the Glock 17 9 mm gun, which was loaded with hollow-point bullets, in a shed in the backyard, according to court documents.
Seven people have been arrested for a series of brazen gunpoint robberies that targeted not only drug homes but a fast food restaurant with customers inside.
More arrests are expected as part of an ongoing investigation that began May 25 when four masked robbers burst into the McDonald's at 4647 S. Regal St. and robbed four employees and six customers of cash, phones and other valuables.
"It's not like an organized crew of the same four people doing robbery after robbery, but a loosely knit group," said Spokane police Major Frank Scalise. "I am confident that the overwhelming majority of this group is behind bars."

Suspects Derek L. Wilson, Christopher M. Comer and Dwayne J. "DJ" Tolbert are pictured above, clockwise starting with Wilson in the left corner.
A suspect has been arrested in a June 6 armed home-invasion robbery in northeast Spokane.
Brettly E. Sanderson, who turned 16 last week, was charged as an adult with seven counts of first-degree robbery, but the charges were refiled in juvenile court when prosecutors realized he was 15 at the time of the crime.
The victims at the home in the 2900 block of North Hogan Street say they recognized Sanderson when he and two other men, one of whom had a sawed-off shotgun, forced their way into the apartment demanding drugs and money, according to court documents.
One of the victims was struck in the head with the butt of the shotgun, police say. Seven people were in the apartment at the time; stolen items included a 1997 Honda Civic, $50, two laptops, a PlayStation 3 and stereo speakers. Police found the Civic stripped of its tires and wheels near West Gordon Avenue and West Glass Avenue later that night.
Sanderson is 4-foot-8 and weighs 85 pounds, according to court documents.
Spokane County Deputy Prosecutor Mark Cipolla filed charges against Sanderson on Monday. Spokane police searched his home in the 2600 block of East Sinto Avenue about 3 a.m. Thursday. The SWAT team was presence, but the occupants responded to a knock and no force was used to enter the home.
A fourth suspect has been arrested in a gunpoint home-invasion robbery that occurred nearly three years ago.
Travis J. Kulhavy, 28, is accused of robbing four people at a home in the 500 block of East Garland Avenue on Oct. 8, 2009.
Co-defendant Brian L. Gilliam, 28, was sentenced to five years in prison last week.
He and Maurice D. Lofton, 31, (pictured) who pleaded guilty in May 2010 to felony riot, helped police identify Kulhavy and Nicole A. Thompson, 21, as the final suspects in the robbery during interviews in late December and in January.
Thompson pleaded not guilty to the charges in May and is out of jail awaiting an August trial. Kulhavy had been wanted on a $150,000 warrant since May 3. He was booked into the Spokane County Jail Friday afternoon.
The incident began when a woman believed to be Thompson knocked on the front door and asked to use a telephone. Two men then appeared and one used a handgun to strike a man who exited the home and force him back inside. That man was forced to kneel down on the floor in an "execution-style position" as his wrists and ankles were bound with duct tape, according to court documents.
Three other people in the home also were restrained with duct tape and two were beaten with handguns. The robbers asked about drugs and money as they stole a duffel bag of marijuana, as well as cell phones, DVDs, a PlayStation and jewelry.
Police tracked one of the phones to the area of 200 E. Wedgewood Ave. the night of the robbery, where they arrested Gilliam and Lofton.
Gilliam described one of his accomplices as a woman named NIkki who had a tattoo that said "GD" and included a pitchfork.
Thompson showed detective Jeff Barrington that tattoo during an interview in March. "GD" is short for Gangster Disciple. Thompson told Barrington she was present during the robbery but "I did no harm. I didn't hurt no one. Travis did everything. All I did was get the door open," according to court documents.
Kulhavy and Thompson are charged with four counts of first-degree robbery, four counts of first-degree kidnapping, three counts of second-degree assault and single counts of first-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit first-degree burglary.
Lofton was given the plea deal after the victim failed to identify him in a police lineup. He told Superior Court Judge Maryann Moreno at his sentencing that "I was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I was messing around with the wrong friends." Read more here.
A Spokane man arrested for a May 31 home-invasion robbery had reportedly been bragging about his crimes, including to a woman who herself was a home-invasion victim.
David F. Smith, 40, remains jailed on $150,000 bond after appearing in Spokane County Superior Court Monday on charges of first-degree robbery and possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
Police arrested him Friday at an apartment in the 800 block of West Cora Avenue after a tipster told police Smith had been bragging about robbing people, including the home in the 1600 block of West Spofford Avenue on May 31.
The tipster told police she helped Smith get heroin and that he regularly carries a black handgun and "waves it around stating if people won't give him stuff, he will take what he wants," according to court documents.
The apartment where Smith was arrested had been targeted in an invasion robbery on June 10 or June 11, police say.
The woman said Smith took her 1989 black Chevy Cavalier prior to the May 31 robbery. Victims in that robbery identified Smith as one of the gunmen.
A second suspect has not yet been arrested.
Investigators believe Smith may be involved in other home invasions, but they don't believe he was involved in takeover-style robberies at a McDonald's at 4647 S. Regal St. on May 25 and a Zip Trip at 1523 W. 10th Ave. on June 8.
Those robberies involved four men in ski masks with guns.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.
Spokane police on Friday arrested a suspect in a May 31 gunpoint home-invasion robbery.
David F. Smith, 40, is believed to have robbed a home in the 1600 block of West Spofford Avenue. Police say a resident was hit with a handgun, but no shots were fired.
Police are hoping fingerprints or DNA on a car stolen in a home-invasion robbery will help them identify suspects.
Officers found the 1997 Honda Civic stripped of its tires and wheels near West Gordon Avenue and West Glass Avenue in Spokane after it was stolen during a robbery at 2918 N. Hogan St., on June. 6.
The victim said a man he knew only as "Nike" arrived at his home with two men, including one who was holding a sawed-off shotgun. The gunman yelled "Where's the money? Where's the drugs?" and trashed the apartment as Nike and the other man also brandished guns, according to a search warrant filed this week. Police used the warrant to swab the Honda for possible fingerprints or DNA.
Another occupant of the apartment was pistol whipped. His roommate said he was robbed of $50, two laptops, a PlayStation 3 and stereo speakers.
It's unclear if the robbery is connected to other recent robberies, but the method of operation and suspects' descriptions is somewhat similar to that of a take-over style robbery that occurred at McDonald's, 4647 S. Regal St., May 25.
In that case, four men with ski masks targeted customers and employes with black semiautomatic handguns and a sawed-off, single-barrel shotgun. Detectives suspect that robbery may be connected to a take-over home-invasion robbery that occurred May 30 in the 4400 block of East 46th Avenue.
Another robbery involving four men in ski masks occurred early Friday, June 8, at the Zip Trip at 1523 W. 10th Ave., on the South Hill. Employees said the store was robbed at gunpoint by two white men and two Hispanic men wearing dark clothes and ski masks. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.
Spokane police released this and other surveillence photos of the armed robbery at McDonald's May 25. View more here.
A takeover-style robbery that targeted customers and employees at a McDonald's in south Spokane may be connected to a similar gunpoint attack at a nearby home five days later.
Victims in both robberies described the masked men's weapons as black, semi automatic handguns and a sawed-off, single barrel shotgun, according to information released Monday.
A man suspected in a Boise home-invasion robbery was arrested recently near Spirit Lake.
The Kootenai County sheriff's SWAT team took Bryson G. Smith, 27, into custody Wednesday at 28128 N. Highway 41.
A confidential source told detectives Smith was hiding at the address and was wanted in Ada County on a no-bond warrant for a home-invasion robbery April 8.
Members of the North Idaho Violent Crimes Task Force confirmed he was there and obtained a search warrant. Smith was booked into the Kootenai County Jail to await extradition to Boise.
Sheriff's officials were kind enough to send out before and after mug shots of Smith.
Spokane police say they saved the life of a career criminal and sex offender when he went into cardiac arrest after he was taken into custody Sunday.
Officer Nick Geren administered first aid on Joshua Clint Epperson, 32, while he was being transported to the jail after he was picked up the Spokane police Patrol Anti-Crime Team.
Epperson was taken to a hospital, then booked into jail on a slew of felony charges related to a home-invasion robbery and a burglary spree.
Epperson is level 3 sex offender, which is the classification considered most likely to reoffend. A woman who identified herself as his sister said in an email to The Spokesman-Review that he has "at least 10 kids that we know about."
"He is a menace," Melissa Epperson said in the email. "Please fight to keep him locked up for your community and his children."
Epperson was arrested just three weeks ago for a burglary in the Country Homes area in north Spokane County.
Investigators believe he burglarized homes of guns, electronics and jewelry to help pay a $1,000 debt to his heroin dealer. Epperson's girlfriend, Chelsey M. Loe, also is suspected in the case. Investigators searched the couple's home at 51 E. Crown on May 6 and recovered meth and suspected stolen property.
Epperson told sheriff's detectives he burglarized homes with Anthony L. Haines, who was arrested May 2 with a gun stolen in one of the burglaries, according to court documents.
Epperson was out of jail awaiting arraignment in that case when police say he helped rob residents at a home in the Indian Trail area May 22. Suspects Nathan W. Day, 21, and Nathan T. McDaniels, 28, were arrested Wednesday and remain in jail.
Geren was awarded the Spokane Police Department's life-saving award in 2008 after he and Officer Brian Eckersley administered CPR on a woman who'd fallen unconscious in downtown Spokane.
A sex offender suspected in a violent gunpoint home-invasion robbery was arrested today.
Joshua Clint Epperson, 32, was booked into jail on felony charges related to an early-morning attack last Tuesday in the 9600 block of North Alpine Court in the Indian Trail area.
The Spokane police Patrol Anti-Crime Team located Epperson in the 4200 block of North Atlantic Street, Officer Brian Eckersley said in a news release.
Epperson was arrested just three weeks ago for a burglary in the Country Homes area in north Spokane County and is to be arraigned Wednesday on residential burglary, first-degree trafficking in stolen property and resisting arrest charges.
He was out of jail awaiting that arraignment when police allege he partook in the robbery, which involved the victims being bound with zip ties and one being pistol whipped.
Suspects Nathan W. Day, 21, and Nathan T. McDaniels, 28, were arrested Wednesday and remain in jail.
Epperson faces charges of first-degree burglary, first-degree robbery, first-degree kidnapping, possession of a stolen firearm, two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of unlawful imprisonment and two counts of possession of a controlled substance, Eckersley said. Prosecutors filed charges on Friday.
Epperson is a level 3 sex offender, which is the classification considered most likely to reoffend. He was convicted of third-degree rape of a child in 2003. He also has a conviction for indecent liberties.
A Spokane man has been sentenced to about 10 years in prison for a gunpoint robbery last year.
Jeremy L. Standon, 30, has an extensive criminal history that includes convictions for first-degree robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm, money laundering, drug possession, second-degree identity theft, first-degree burglary, theft of a firearm.
He recorded his second first-degree robbery conviction - and second strike under the state's three-strikes-and-you're-out law - when he pleaded guilty in late April. Now he's headed to prison on a 129-month sentence that will include credit for 364 days already served in jail after being sentenced this week in Spokane County Superior Court.
Co-defendant John Gibson Dean, 30, is awaiting trial. He was arrested earlier this month after a couple months as a fugitive.
Police say Dean and Standon robbed three people of money, jewelry and electronics after being allowed inside the home at 1415 N. Post St. May 9, 2011. Police paid a confidential informant $100 for information that helped identify the men.
Two men have been arrested for a north Spokane home-invasion robbery in which the victims were bound with zip ties and one was pistol whipped.
Nathan W. Day, 21, and Nathan T. McDaniels, 28, are accused of entering a home in the 9600 block of North Alpine Court in the Indian Trail area about 2:45 a.m Tuesday, awaking a resident and asking him about a safe before stealing other items.
The victim said Day was armed with a handgun, and McDaniels told him to "be quiet and do what we say or you are going to get shot," according to court documents prepared by the Spokane County Sheriff's Office.
Day struck the victim with in the eye with the butt of the gun, but the man said he was able to break free from his zip ties and jump out a window. He said his Wii gaming console and games were stolen during the robbery.
Another resident told police four men knocked on the door and he let McDaniels in to use the bathroom. One of the men asked him if he wanted to smoke meth, and the man said he walked the men downstairs to wake up his girlfriend. That's when Day displayed the gun and the man was bound with zip ties as others stole items from the home, court documents say.
But that man was able to break free, too, and he grabbed a sword and struck McDaniels in the arm with it. The robbers then fled. The man's girlfriend said the robbers also threatened her with a gun and stole her iPhone.
Detectives conducting surveillance on the suspects Wednesday spotted McDaniels in the 4700 block of North Standard and arrested him. He had with him credit cards and a driver's license belonging to one of the victims, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Day was arrested Wednesday in the 900 block of East Wabash Avenue with a stolen handgun. Police recovered the stolen Wii console from a home there, as well as baggies of methamphetamine.
The men were jailed on robbery, burglary and kidnapping charges. A third suspect, Joshua C. Epperson, is not yet in custody,
A man who robbed a former sheriff's deputy with long intoxicated driving history has been sentenced to three years in prison.
Matthias "Payback" Piggot, 30, (right) robbed James L. Crabtree (left) on Jan. 21, 2011, at an apartment in the 12700 block of East Shannon Avenue with a woman Crabtree said had been at his home two days earlier.
That woman, Sandy K. Perreira, 30, was sentenced to 15 months in prison in November after pleading guilty to residential burglary, third-degree assault and three counts of possession of a controlled substance.
Crabtree told police he grabbed a folding knife but dropped it after he was threatened with the hammer. He told his attackers he didn't have any drugs or money, so the two left with his checkbook, wallet and credit cards, according to court documents. Crabtree suffered a concussion in the attack.
Piggot's criminal history includes convictions for domestic violence and attempting to elude police.
In June, he was suspected of stabbing a man in Spokane Valley but an uncooperative victim halted the police probe. He also was present when Andrew T. Burns allegedly shot a man in June 2010.
