The stakes couldn’t be higher as Washington State and Oregon State clash on Saturday with the Pac-12 Championship on the line.

The Beavers are licking their wounds after suffering their first shutout loss in nearly a decade, while the Cougars are reeling from a shocking 38-35 defeat at New Mexico. That loss not only dashed Washington State’s College Football Playoff dreams but also overshadowed an incredible outing by quarterback John Mateer.

Washington State holds the upper hand historically, leading the series 57-48-3. In last year’s matchup, the Cougars fended off a wild fourth-quarter comeback by OSU to secure a 38-35 win in Pullman.

Police arrested a man suspected of taking a Bethesda, Maryland, couple for $400,000 in a gold bar scam.

A text message reading “Contact us about an unauthorized charge on your Apple account” led the couple down a scam rabbit hole, police said. They were led to believe they were talking by phone to real Apple employees and eventually, according to police, they spoke with 23-year-old Yongxian Huang, who allegedly pretended to be an employee of the Federal Trade Commission. 

The couple was told their money had been compromised by criminals and needed to be converted to gold and put into government safekeeping to keep it from being used to make child pornography and purchase missiles for Russia, police said. 

They were convinced to give two purchases of gold bars worth more than $367,000, as well as a wire transfer of more than $41,000, investigators said.

“If you get these messages, you are not required to answer the phone,” Montgomery County Police Detective Sean Petty said. “You aren’t required to click that message and give your information away.”

With the victims’ help, detectives coordinated a final drop of $81,000 in gold bars on Nov. 14. Huang accepted the package from a detective pretending to be the female victim, police said.

Investigators followed him up Interstate 95 to his home in Brooklyn, New York, where New York Police Department detectives arrested him.

He awaits extradition to Maryland, as does 26-year-old Yash Shah, arrested this week in Baldwin, New York.

Shah’s accused of scamming an 88-year-old Montgomery County woman and her 61-year-old daughter out of $2.3 million in a similar scheme in 2023.

Recovery is almost impossible.

The fact this keeps happening despite extensive news coverage means families should consider it a table topic when they get together for the holidays, Petty said.

“This can easily be a 5, 10-minute conversation just checking in with your loved ones, your aging individuals, making sure that they’re not getting these phone calls, these text messages, and responding positively to them,” he said.

Montgomery County police worked with the Baltimore Field Office of the FBI on this case.

Sunset Road is the name of a slice of pavement that cuts up the flank of Red Mountain, in southeast Washington wine country. It’s also where a new queer rom-com, also called “Sunset Road,” was shot.

In the first scene, Etta Campbell, played by the film’s director, Janet Krupin, is found on the roadside talking to a friend working in New York.  

Sam Work Bestie: “Remind me where are you now?” 

Etta Campbell: “Washington.”

Sam Work Bestie: “D.C.?”

Etta Campbell: “State.”

Sam Work Bestie: “Oh, Seattle?” 

Etta Campbell: “Nope. Three and half hours southeast. It’s Washington wine country I guess?”

The film is based on the plot of “Romeo and Juliet.” 

Instead of the Capulets and Montagues, the warring families are upset with wine and what to top it with – corks or screw tops. They have it out at a popular Richland restaurant, called Fiction. 

Papa Campbell: “Maybe one of you could tell me why you prefer screw tops over natural cork? I’ve always wondered what in the world you’d …”

Oryn Montgomery: “How about them Mariners?” 

Mama Montgomery: “Screwtops are wonderful; they’re the wave of the future.” 

Spoiler alert: No one dies in this rom-com.  

Director Krupin was raised in the Tri-Cities, and moved to New York City.

She was on Broadway, and side-hustled hosting gigs. 

“Like, I was loving it,” Krupin said. “Doing the acting thing.” 

But, then came the pandemic.

“I think it was Friday the 13th, I will never forget it,” Krupin said. “They shut down Broadway and then they shut down the restaurants, and those were my two forms of income.” 

She moved back home to the Tri-Cities. She worked at Hightower Cellars during the pandemic. 

And her comedy was born. 

Krupin plays the Juliet-inspired character who falls in love with the warring family’s daughter. Under the string lights of her real-life parents’ house, the pair sip a rosé called “Any Other Name.” 

Oryn Montgomery: “Great body.”

Etta Campbell: “Why, thank you.”

Oryn Montgomery: “[laugh] The wine.” 

Etta Campbell: “Well, maybe you can tell me what a wine having body even means?”

Oryn Montgomery: “Body is how heavy or thin it feels in the mouth. Uh, this has a silky but substantial mouth feel.” 

This “queer romp” is set amid conservative agriculture, east of the Cascades.

Traci Gillig is an assistant professor at Washington State University. She studies gender and media. She said this film doesn’t spotlight hardships for queer people – a rarity. 

“And I think also that a lot of what was seen in the past was sort of struggles,” Gillig said, “not that we need necessarily more media representations of those, that sort of space people are living in now.” 

The film cast many local actors and business people. Kelly Hightower co-owns a winery featured in the film. She said unlike the warring families in the new film, they use both cork and screw tops.

“When I first saw the movie it made me laugh out loud … It was just so funny,” Hightower said. “I mean actual quotes that actually happened here at the winery.”

The music from the film is recorded by Krupin’s sister, Halley Greg. “Sunset Road” is now on Amazon Prime Video.
