What an incredible area we live in...
Did you know about the Mastadon skeletons found near Latah?
Did you know this area, the Palouse, was named after the famed Nez Perce pony, the Appaloosa?
Did you know modern day cowboys still herd cattle on horseback nearby?

Safety Tip
Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator.
Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation . Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage.
If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break in your house, odds are the burglar or rapist won't stick around... After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.
And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there... This is something that should really be shared with every one. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.
Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone. An older woman has suggested her husband carry his car
keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn't hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she'll know there's a problem.
