Recovery from a wildfire doesn’t end when the fire is out. There are longer-term questions around forest health, preparedness, funding, project development, and how communities become more resilient before the next emergency.

With those issues especially relevant across the Spokane area right now, the American Indigenous Tourism Association is hosting a free Community Navigator Workshop Sept. 14-15 at Spokane Tribe Resort & Casino.

The workshop will cover wildfire resilience and forest health, along with land stewardship, community planning, project development, grant readiness, and the role Indigenous tourism can play in supporting community and economic resilience.

It’s free to attend, and the conversations are meant to be practical -- not just about responding to wildfire, but about what communities can do next.

Any suggestions for good dark, easy to get to (we have young kids) spots close to town? The field right behind our house used to be dark enough, but all the new developments have pretty much blocked out the stars.

Aggressive dog got out and attacked and bit leashed dog in cda neighborhood. Animal control was called, dog owner has been cited for loose dog and the dog biting. Dog was/is vaccinated. Does anyone know the fines? I looked and can’t really find an answer.

TIA

Hello! I am asking some communities about pet ownership and their beliefs. This is for a personal project of mine so I would greatly appreciate any answers given :)

1. Why do you want a pet as a companion?

2. Do you have enough daily time to care properly for them?

3. Is your living space adequate?

4. How many animals should one be able to have?

5. Are there any animals that shouldn’t be pets?

6. How do you react when your pet does something “bad” such as tear up furniture?

7. How long is the pet left alone per day?

8. What is your stance on pet grooming?

9. Would you ever think to give your pet specialized training?

10. How will you handle your pets natural prey drive? (Ex: cats hunting rodents, specific dog breeds attacking smaller dogs)
