So how was Florence Wasmer able to accomplish such a wonderful thing and who did she give to? 

First of all, Florence Wasmer loved music and was very interested in young people receivng a musical education.  She was a violinist and played in the chamber orchestra in the Italian Gardens restaurant in the Davenport Hotel.  Florence was married to Louis Wasmer who brought KHQ radio from Seattle to Spokane in 1925. When Louis died, Florence established the Wasmer Foundation and after Florence's death, the Wasmer Foundation were transferred to INWCF (Inland Northwest Community Foundation).

The last thing you want in an emergency, is a street number that can’t be seen by emergency services. Take a look at your own address sign. Is it visible?

Adam Knight, Kootenai County Fire & Rescue lieutenant, says that many addresses are nearly impossible to see because of the location, size, and the lack of addresses on homes or driveways.

Local 2856 is hoping to change that by endorsing a fundraiser opportunity by Kevin Weber of Safety Street Inc. Weber will be traveling throughout the the district and selling high visibility address signs so emergency vehicles can locate your home efficiently.

ConocoPhillips is continuing to search for any sign of a gas leak, after a pressure drop in a gas pipeline that runs from Thompson Falls, MT. to Spokane, focusing its investigation on a stretch of pipeline between Enaville and Cataldo.
