Ocean Shores residents who sleep in on Wednesday might be in for a rude awakening. Weather sirens will blare as a part of the Annual Severe Weather Drill sponsored by the National Weather Service. The drill is part of Severe Weather Awareness Week. Residents are asked to act as if the sirens are signaling a real emergency. The drill will be moved to Friday if severe weather occurs.   

Protestors are gathering in Franklin Park to oppose genetically modified foods. The protest is just one of many occurring across the country on World Food Day. The Spokane group is voicing their support for initiative five-twenty-two. The initiative would require food companies to label what foods have been genetically modified.

CU: Alison	THESE ARE THE FIRST HARD NUMBERS SHOWING THE KIND OF EFFECT THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IS HAVING ON AMERICANS. THE LABOR DEPARTMENT REPORTED A HUGE INCREASE IN INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS LAST WEEK.
VO In: 10:25 SS-Job Numbers Out: 24:00	THEY JUMPED BY 66-THOUSAND, ALL THE WAY UP TO 374-THOUSAND. THAT'S THE BIGGEST INCREASE WE'VE SEEN SINCE SUPERSTORM SANDY, LAST OCTOBER. ABOUT A QUARTER OF THOSE FILING WERE PEOPLE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY THE SHUTDOWN.
CU: Alison	MOST OF THEM PRIVATE SECTOR WORKERS... WHO ARE CONTRACTED OUT BY THE GOVERNMENT. PLACES LIKE LOCKHEED MARTIN AND UNITED TECHNOLOGIES - FOR EXAMPLE - BOTH HAVE EMPLOYEES WHO WERE FURLOUGED.
VO NAT SOT Full	IT WON'T BE UNTIL NEXT WEEK THAT WE SEE THE IMPACT OF THEPUBLIC SECTOR WORKERS WHO WERE TEMPORARILY LAID OFF - SINCE THEY'RE COUNTED DIFFERENTLY. SO THERE'S LIKELY TO BE A BIG JUMP THEN TOO. BUT IT'S NOT COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN-RELATED. THE OTHER REASON FOR THE INCREASE IN CLAIMS: COMPUTER PROBLEMS IN CALIFORNIA. THE STATE RECENTLY CHANGED TO A NEW APPLICATION PROGRAM.
CU: Alison	THE UPGRADE HAS HAD SOME PROCESSING PROBLEMS... LEAVING SOME CALIFORNIANS WITHOUT THEIR CHECKS. I'M ALISON KOSIK IN NEW YORK.

This article introduces a New York Post article, links it and then continues to post a small excerpt from the story. In my mind, if I was given a taste of the article and it would leave me wanting more then I would want to visit it.

The Whitman County Sherriff’s office is warning area residents about a bail scam after a Liberty Lake grandfather paid nearly $2,000 over the weekend.

Thomas Kalew of Liberty Lake received a call Saturday that his granddaughter had been allegedly arrested for dug position in New York City.

According to a news release, a person identifying themselves as a New York officer told Kalew he needed to pay $1,961 to bail his granddaughter out.

“The ‘officer’ told me that this was a special case because drug laws in New York are in flux,” Kalew said. “[The man] said I should wire the money via Western Union and they would release my granddaughter.”

Kalew paid someone named Vivian Mensah the bail but later discovered that his granddaughter wasn’t arrested and there was no drug charge.


The Whitman County Sherriff’s office is informing citizens that officers cannot request bail and if you think you are the victim of a con similar to the on that occurred this weekend, call 509-456-2233.

The honorary degree and medallion was presented by university president Elson Floyd just before Gregoire gave her commencement speech to a packed Beasley Coliseum.
