SUPPORT: Lamar helps fight crime

The Kootenai County Board of Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest would like to recognize and express appreciation to Lamar Outdoor Advertising for their continued partnership in fighting crime. We are grateful for the services provided from the Spokane regional office under the leadership of Vice President Duane Halliday and Office Manager Lisa DeLatte.

Lamar Outdoor routinely posts wanted subjects from Kootenai County and Spokane County on their digital billboards located in Idaho and Washington. Lamar has also been immediate in their response of posting Amber Alerts in order to help law enforcement recover missing children.

This spirit of local business assisting in crime prevention is invaluable. We encourage all businesses to get involved in crime prevention by contacting Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest at P.O. Box 3453 Hayden, ID 83835 and show your support in fighting crime.

Sincerely,

TOM KEYSER, President

Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest

APPLEBEE'S: Opens their hearts

This thanks goes to Applebee's restaurant for opening their hearts to those that truly benefit from their fundraiser breakfasts. I have been to several of these breakfasts and noticed many attendees left large additional donations.

Applebee's is so generous to recognize that many organizations and people hitting bottom in health costs are strapped. What a break for them!
