The Idaho Department of Labor is hosting their Spring Job Fair tomorrow in Post Falls. Over 40 employers are confirmed to be there and are ready to hire in the next 60-90 days.

There are two job fairs a year, one in the spring and another in the fall. Frank Garcia of the Department of Labor says the goal of the job fair is to connect job seekers with employers that have current openings. Employers are from around North Idaho as well as some from the Spokane area. 

The event will be held at Real Life Ministries in Post Falls from 10am-2pm on Wednesday, April 17th. Make sure to dress for an interview and bring your resume. 

Real Life Ministries, 1866 North Cecil Road, Post Falls, Id.

Employers attending include:

From sea to shining sea, Americans stood by Boston and those injured in the Boston Marathon Bombings on Monday night.  The attack brought back instant memories of the September 11th terror attacks of 2001.

America is a much different place than it was 12 years ago.  Today as the events in Boston unfolded, people turned to social media to not only find out what was happening, but to give their opinion as to what was going on.

“Terrible, but the world needs to expect terrorist acts, during world events, and national events, Satan’s working hard now a days!” wrote Janette Smith on the KXLY4 News Facebook fan page.

“Oh my goodness there’s so much blood. How horrid.” wrote Dawn Blasberg.

The images on television and streaming across the internet did indeed show a lot of blood on the street and sidewalks.  The images were unlike anything we’ve seen in recent years.  The images of hate and anger came at America in record speed.

“IF this is a terrorist attack, how could someone be SO heartless as to do something like this to innocent people!” wrote Bowtie Bob Fryer on the KXLY Facebook page.

The city of Spokane Valley is looking for your input on the proposed new library and Balfour Park expansion.

Future plans will be discussed at a public meeting at 6:00pm on Monday, April 22 at the Spokane Valley Library at 12004 E. Main.

Officials will present an overview of the library and park design process. Those who come to the meeting will be put into small groups to brainstorm, and then all will come together to share ideas.

Spokane Valley aquired 8.4 acres of land along the north side of Sprague between Herald and west of Balfour Park. The library may purchase a portion of that land for a future library. That move would have to be approved by voters.

For more information on this meeting, contact Parks & Recreation Director Mike Stone at mstone@spokanevalley.org or (509) 720-5400.
