Your kid’s off to college and their room is suddenly empty—what now? Experts say start with your “why”: home office? Guest room? Then tackle the clutter smartly. Don’t toss personal stuff without their input—clothes, mementos, collections need their say. Shared items? Go ahead. Involve them however they want—some want to help, others just need space. Remote? Send pics via text or video. No rush—let it sit a month if needed. Start with duplicates or outdated stuff, then handle sentimental pieces by keeping one or two and photographing the rest. Memories matter more than clutter.

The Greater Spokane League’s season opener was a brutal wake-up call for its top teams—only three of ten 4A and 3A squads walked away with wins, as several suffered crushing losses. Gonzaga Prep and Cheney, last year’s top seeds, stumbled hard, while Lewis and Clark and Central Valley also fell to tough non-league foes. But amid the chaos, standout performances emerged: University Titans obliterated their opponent 57-27, led by QB Nick Ariza’s monster day, and Mead Panthers dominated with over 300 rushing yards. Ferris showed offensive promise despite the loss, hinting at potential. With two non-league games now part of the schedule, these early tests may just be the catalysts teams need to rise—or fall—further.

When your sister’s drinking habits worry you, don’t stay silent—gently check in with care, not control. And when a friend in your support group faces a similar loss, offer presence over pity: share resources, say you’re there to listen, and let them guide how much they need to hear. Support doesn’t mean rehashing pain—it means showing up, quietly and fully, for the people who matter most.

When your femur breaks, a metal rod called an intramedullary nail stabilizes it—helping you walk sooner. But sometimes, especially in kids, that rod must be removed due to pain or infection, requiring another surgery. Removing it leaves a hole in the bone’s medullary canal, where marrow lives—red for blood cells, yellow for fat. Thankfully, most blood cell production happens elsewhere in the body, so the rod’s presence or absence doesn’t disrupt that. Over time, the hole heals and marrow rebuilds, showcasing the body’s incredible self-repair.

A Spokane nonprofit housing refugees and the homeless has been forced to halt accepting new clients after losing control of its downtown property — a former Quality Inn now up for sale by its owner, Fortify Holdings. The dispute, rooted in a $3 million arbitration ruling against Thrive for unpaid rent and insurance, has plunged the organization into receivership, temporarily pausing legal action but leaving residents stranded as wildfires spike demand for shelter. Thrive’s new 48-unit facility on Nevada Street is for those already financially stable — leaving the future of transitional housing uncertain until the legal battle resolves.

Wheat farmers in Washington are reaping a surprise bountiful harvest despite a dry winter—thanks to timely spring rains. But while the fields are full, prices are not: soft white wheat sells for under $7 a bushel, leaving many farmers struggling to cover rising costs like fertilizer and diesel. With profits at an all-time low and Washington ranked last among all 50 states for farmer profitability, growers are dipping into savings or taking on debt just to stay afloat. As they work to adapt and preserve their farms for future generations, the economic squeeze shows no sign of easing.
