Thanks so much for joining us.

This week marks one year since a deadly shooting at the Gorge Amphitheater near Quincy, Washington.

That same festival the shooting happened at, Beyond Wonderland, takes over the Gorge again this weekend.

NWPB reached out to investigators looking into two cases stemming from that shooting.

One into the deaths of two concert goers in the campground.

Two other people were shot but lived.

The other investigation is into the officer involved shooting of the suspected shooter.

You can find the full details on those cases on NWPB.org.

Now we're taking you to Tribal Voices Matter, a speaker series hosted by the Nez Perce Tribe promoting how science could help recover Snake River salmon and steelhead.

The tribe says industrial pollution and agricultural runoff are threats to not only wildlife, but public health, too.

Here is Kim Hartwig, a Nez Perce tribal member and medical director of Nimiipuu Health.

She says staying connected to cultural identity and the land could help with health problems in tribal members.

Things like diabetes and high blood pressure.

“Truly utilizing our culture and our identity to heal from within.

I think it's the most important approach that we need to take in addressing the health maladies that we experience today.” Learn more about the speaker series and Hartwigs thoughts on culture and health on our website.

Ham radio is being celebrated in Dryden, Washington.

“My call letters are K-7-A-B-J.

I've been licensed since 1957.

I was 13 years old when I got my license.

Actually, I was hospitalized.

The man that administered the license, his name was John Baird, and I just met one of his relatives here today.” That's Jerry Isenhart.

He credits his long and storied career in journalism to ham radio.

Today, he's part of the Apple City Amateur Radio Club.

We met him at the club's 56th annual Hamfest.

Ham radio is a hobby and a service.

People use what are called amateur bands.

Those are frequencies allocated by the Federal Communications Commission.

You don't need Wi-Fi to make it work, just knowledge.

If you'd like to learn more about ham radio ACRC is planning to host a field day in Wenatchee on June 24th and 25th.

More details are up on our website.

Of course, it's a big election year and there are a lot of races that matter.

One is Washington's attorney general.

NWPB in partnership with the Leagues of Women Voters of Washington and Benton and Franklin counties, hosted a forum with three AG candidates.

It was live in Richland and recorded.

You can watch the forum on our YouTube channel and go to NWPB.org for more elections coverage.
