Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Rabies scare has officials mulling (lmtribune.com) — Asotin County health officials are tightening plans after several local children were exposed to a rabid bat near the Asotin-Anatone school and needed quick follow-up. The health district and school staff are developing a template for larger-scale rabies responses while keeping exact patient numbers private, noting that even small figures can identify families in a close-knit community like Asotin.
2. Prisoners’ Calls Aren’t Recorded At Valley Jails (lmtribune.com) — If you or someone you know is jailed in Asotin County, local law enforcement agencies say they do not routinely record prisoners' outgoing phone calls and only rarely tape incoming ones. A recent case in neighboring Latah County, where a call with an attorney was recorded, prompted the clarification and highlights differences in how nearby jails handle inmate communications.
3. Washington Wolf Pack Faces Removal Over Livestock Attacks (newstalk870.am) — Wolves from the Couse pack are being lethally removed after repeated livestock attacks in Asotin County, with one adult male already killed and more removals authorized. State wildlife officials say the action follows multiple confirmed cattle deaths and injuries near local producers, and they argue it will not jeopardize broader wolf recovery goals in Eastern Washington.
4. Washington seeks federal disaster funds as wildfire damage tops $188 million (bigcountrynewsconnection.com) — Asotin County is among 11 Washington counties that could share more than $117 million in federal public assistance if a major disaster declaration for recent wildfires is approved. State leaders are pushing for quick FEMA action and proposing tax rebates and relaxed building-code requirements to help affected homeowners rebuild faster and more affordably across Eastern Washington.
