Reporter who broke Nixon resignation news dies
Teacher strike keeps kids home By MARTHA BELLISLE Associated Press SEATTLE — Thousands of Seattle teachers marched on picket lines Wednesday, striking for the first time in three decades amid increasing complaints that their salaries have not kept up with the city’s booming tech economy. The walkout, which began on what was supposed to be the first day of school, comes as teachers in Seattle have gone six years without a cost-of-living increase, and many say they are scrambling to afford housing in a city where living expenses are rapidly increasing. The strike adds to other education crises in Washington state. Lawmakers are facing increasing pressure to boost funding for K-12 education after the state Supreme Court said they failed to adequately pay for schooling for 1 million children. Justices are fining the state $100,000 a day until it comes up with a fix. The court has also ruled that the state’s charter schools are unconstitutional. At an afternoon press conference, Seattle Public Schools spokeswoman Stacy Howard said they’re still at an impasse and there will be no school on Thursday for the district’s 53,000 students. They plan to be back at the negotiation table
no services will be held. Arrangements by English Funeral Chapel, Coeur d’Alene.

Teacher salaries range from about $44,000 to more than $86,000 for more experienced educators with advanced degrees, the district stated. Seattle Public Schools has offered a pay increase of nearly 9 percent over three years, and the union countered with a 10.5 percent increase over two years. Phyllis Campano, the union’s vice president, said the district came back with a proposal that the union “couldn’t take seriously.” The strike could be a test case for educators across the country, a national union leader said. The teachers are fighting for reasonable testing policies, a fair discipline policy and the First-grader Halima Said, 6, meets her new teacher, Amber time to prepare for class each Simonton, for the first time on the picket line, where day, said Lily Eskelsen Garcia, Simonton joined other teachers Wednesday morning. president of the National Education Association. today, she said. “It’s really the younger gen“These are issues that every “We are hopeful we will eration that is having issues educator in the country is graphave a swift resolution so our with having a place to live in pling with right now,” she said. teachers and students can get the city,” said teacher Janine “If they can get some traction back to schools,” she said.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Former Associated Press reporter Gaylord Shaw, who broke the news that President Richard Nixon would resign as evidence in the Watergate case mounted around him, has died. He was 73. Don Grantham Funeral Home in Duncan, Okla., said Wednesday that Shaw died Sunday at his home. A cause of death was not released. While working in the AP’s White House bureau, Shaw covered the fall of one president and the rise of another, President Gerald Ford, who later pardoned Nixon. “Gaylord and I worked that story together, and then he worked the bulletin that went on the wire, and that was a pretty major one,” Walter Mears, former bureau chief for the AP’s Washington bureau and a longtime friend and colleague of Shaw’s, recalled from his home in North Carolina. “It was great that the AP had a guy you could rely on to deliver everything there was to deliver on a story like that.” Shaw later worked for the Los Angeles Times, where he won a Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 1978, and for Newsday, where he shared a Pulitzer for spot reporting in 1997. He returned to his native Oklahoma after his retirement. Lou Boccardi, a former AP president, said Shaw had “a slow smile that got wider as he spun out details of a good story he was working on. He lived his work.” Boccardi called Shaw “a straight arrow in the sense of keeping his eye on the center of a story.”
