That’s News to you answers
Here are the answers to this week’s quiz:
1. D. The grand opening was at the Davenport Grand Hotel. A champagne toast in the lobby of Spokane’s newest hotel kicked off the grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony.
2. C. Two women have been featured on paper currency in the past. First lady Martha Washington graced the $1 silver certificate in the late 1800s, and Native American Pocahontas was on the $20 bill from 1865 to 1869. The new note will be issued in 2020 during the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote. But first, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will solicit suggestions from the public, asking Americans to submit possible symbols and notable female figures to include via the website TheNew10.Treasury.gov or through social media using the hashtag #TheNew10. His only requirements: that the woman reflect the theme of democracy and that she no longer be living.
3. C. Iguodala, Golden State’s sixth man, took MVP honors. “I always said Andre’s a pro’s pro,” said teammate Draymond Green. “He’s a professional guy and it showed, and that’s why he’s MVP of the series and that’s why we’re champions.”
4. E. The new federal rule covers an expanded group of military personnel who flew or worked on Fairchild C-123 aircraft in the U.S. from 1969-86 and were believed to have been exposed to Agent Orange residue. The planes had been used to spray millions of gallons of the chemical herbicide during the Vietnam War.
5. D. The University Place course holds many firsts for the U.S. Open: first trip to the Pacific Northwest, first with four 500-yard par 4s, first on fescue grass, first with alternating pars on a pair of holes and the first with so many tee-box and hole-location options.
