Trial delayed fifth time Joseph Strange is accused of killing a woman after slamming into her car during a high-speed police chase. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer
EVERETT — A Snohomish County judge on Friday delayed the trial of a Seattle man accused of killing Everett nurse Rachael
Kamin last year. It is the fifth delay since prosecutors took the rare step of charging Joseph Strange with first-degree murder in connection with the fatal car crash. No new trial date was
selected Friday. Strange, 34, is accused of leading police on a high-speed pursuit in a stolen truck from Lynnwood to Everett on May 12, 2013. Prosecutors allege that Strange hit a parked car, rammed a police officer’s patrol car and nearly ran over a pedestrian crossing Evergreen Way. Strange is accused of running
a red light and slamming into Kamin’s Honda CRV. The mother of two was driving home from her shift at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. She suffered fatal head injuries and died two days later. Her organs were donated to others in need. See TRIAL, back page, this section

TULALIP — In a ceremony Friday that was by turns solemn, emotional and funny, a group of students were celebrated and given diplomas to mark their graduation. But this ceremony, held on the Tulalip Tribes’ reservation,
was in honor of the students in the tribes’ Construction Trades Center, which has now been recognized by the state as an approved pre-apprenticeship program. It’s the first time a tribal program in the United States has achieved this distinction. For many of the students graduating, the diploma symbolizes

School honors former senator SEATTLE — Seven years ago, faculty at the University of Washington voted to rename its Korea Studies Program in honor of then-state Sen. Paull Shin because of his unwavering commitment to its development. But the Edmonds Democrat asked them to wait until he was out of office. He left in January and UW faculty on Thursday made the program’s new name official. “What a blessing that is. I really appreciate it,” Shin said before he and family members attended a renaming ceremony at the university. “I am so honored to be recognized in this way.” Shin, a onetime chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee, worked tirelessly to promote the Korea Studies Program housed in the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. He talked up the program in trips to South Korea, where he would meet with business and education leaders. He passed legislation in Olympia that boosted instruction about the language and culture of Korea and other Asian nations. And he helped corral funding for the Korea Studies Program as well. Through the years, his contributions and those he helped round up totaled nearly $4 million, according to information compiled by center officials. Shin was a street orphan during the Korean War and was adopted by Ray Paull, a U.S. Army officer. In the U.S., he received a GED and eventually a doctorate from the University of Washington and taught for 31 years in Washington’s higher education system. His career included teaching Asian Studies at the UW. Shin was Washington’s first Korean-American legislator when he was elected to the state House of Representatives in 1992. He won a Senate seat in 1998 and was in his fourth term when he resigned in January, after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
