Hi there! I’m Fluffer and I’m ready for a family to snuggle in with. Right now I’m hanging out with the folks at Adams County Pet Rescue, but I’d be happy to hang out with you too. Like all of the pets at ACPR, I am “fixed” – whatever that’s supposed to mean – and I’m up to date on all of my shots. The vet says I could use a few extra treats and a new tennis ball though – doctor’s orders. Come say hi to me and all of my friends at ACPR at 1961 W. Bench Road near Othello. Call ahead at 509-488-5514 and visit the website at adamscountypetrescue.com. If you’re not able to adopt, the shelter wouldn’t mind a donation or two. Find out what they need by giving them a quick call – pretty sure doggy biscuits are a good donation. Just sayin’.

Connell woman killed in Booker Road crash
CONNELL — Charges are pending against a Kennewick man following a collision about 12 miles south of Othello that killed a Connell woman and injured three other people Tuesday evening. A Washington State Patrol press memo said intoxicating substances were a factor. Jessica Zarate, 37, Connell, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash near the intersection of SR 17 and South Booker Road, the WSP memo said. She was driving south on Booker Road approaching the intersection when her car was hit by a pickup driven by John Reiss, 62, Kennewick. Edgar Garcia Quirino, 28, Othello, was driving north on SR 17 and ran into Zarate's car, the WSP memo said. The crash occurred at about 6:40 p.m.

Doors opening: The Currents will provide homeownership for more local workers
About 104 homes are planned at the former Atlas sawmill site
Teachers, nurses, firefighters and other workers who keep Coeur d’Alene running will soon have more places to buy a home in the community where they work. About 104 homes are being planned to be built at Atlas Waterfront, on roughly 10 acres that are part of a swath of land that was once home to the Atlas sawmill and is being redeveloped. Ignite CDA, the city of Coeur d’Alene’s urban renewal agency, is leading this effort.
