>>Sanctuary: Woman Killed By Cougar Didn't Follow Protocol

(Sherwood, OR)  --  Officials at a wild cat sanctuary in Sherwood say failure to follow protocol may have led to the cougar attack that killed 36-year-old Renee Radziwon-Chapman.  She was the head keeper at WildCat Haven and was attacked by the cougar Saturday night.  Officials say Radziwon-Chapman apparently brought a hose into the cougar's cage, which probably made the cougar behave violently.  Clackamas County sheriff's deputies say keepers are supposed to enter cages in pairs, but Radziwon-Chapman apparently entered the cage alone, which is against sanctuary protocol.

>>Union Members Protest Boeing Contract Offer

(Everett, WA)  --  Members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers are urging a "no" vote on a proposed contract extension offered to the union by Boeing.  About 200 machinists gathered yesterday outside their union hall near Paine Field in Everett to protest the offer, which would guarantee Boeing's 777X will be built in Washington but includes reductions in retirement and health benefits.  The Washington Legislature has approved a package of tax incentives designed to ensure the 777X will be assembled in Washington rather than elsewhere.  The union is set to vote tomorrow on the contract offer.
