In February we celebrate and raise awareness for heart health. Statistics show that heart disease is the number one killer of women, and contributes to more deaths each year than the next five causes of death combined.

Do you know your risk? The Spokane Go Red for Women luncheon raises awareness for heart health. This event is an annual feature in Spokane, providing information about heart health and promoting proactive care. The danger of strokes, heart attacks, and heart diseases may be the most overlooked health factor that Americans face today.  How important to you is your Heart Health? There are a few risk factors that we can’t control, things like gender, genetics, and age. But the good news is that the American Heart Association has identified several risk factors that you can take charge of.

To reduce the danger of suffering from a stroke, heart attack and heart disease, consider the following factors, and remember, you can choose NOT to be a victim. Prevention is key to your heart health!

The SCRAPS’ (Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services) Spokane Dog Park is located at 26715 E. Spokane Bridge Road.  The park sits just north of I-90 at the Idaho state line.

The 3 1/2 acre dog park includes an off-leash fenced area ideal for playing fetch and a nice wooded, natural area for walking.  There’s a paved path surrounding the grassy area, making it wheelchair accessible.  Plastic bags and waste receptacles are located throughout the park.

If you live downtown it may seem too great a distance  to travel just for…

On February 7th 2010 the New Orleans Saints take on the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV!

…That’s Super Bowl 44, for those of us who are Roman Numerically Challenged.  It’s a big day for Spokane Super Bowl fans!  Will you be cheering for the Saints, or the Colts?

Miami may have the sun, the sand, and now the Super Bowl, but fans in the Northwest, do know how to throw a Super Bowl party!

“Men, I want you just thinking of one word all season. One word and one word only: Super Bowl.”-Football coach Bill Peterson.

While we may not exactly narrow a great Super Bowl down to one word, we can narrow a great Super Bowl party down to a few key components. Start with a great TV. Game day coverage has become so technologically advanced in the last few years, tv cameras now bring the action right into your living room. You will see every play and re-play, and with teams like Indianapolis and New Orleans, there will be some great…
