Jacob Landis, a 24- year- old who was once deaf,  received a cochlear implant  at the age of ten that changed his life completely. Now, he is determined to raise 1 million dollars to benefit children who need cochlear implants and cannot afford it.

In order to accomplish this number, Landis is combining his passion for cycling, baseball and his desire to help others. He is making a 10,000+ mile bike ride all around the country this baseball season, stopping at all 30 Major League Baseball stadiums.

Jacob is biking through Spokane very soon, around Friday June, 14th, on his way from Target Field in Minnesota to his 16th ball park, Safeco Field in Seattle. Jacob is stopping in at the police station in Lewistown where Chief Birdwell will be holding much needed packages from home.

The City of Spokane is happy to report that Spokane's drinking water met federal standards for 2012.

The city's Water Quality Report for 2012 was released today and Spokane's drinking water met or exceeded all federal and state standards for another year. The report looks at the levels of contaminants such as arsenic, nitrate and radon from our water sources as well copper and lead from our water pipes.

While the report states that all water, including bottled water, may contain small amounts of certain contaminants, and the presence of them does not necessarily present a health risk. It is the level of the contaminants that matters, and the Environmental Protection Agency has regulations that limits the amount that can be in public water systems.

Heart disease is the number one killer of American women. Tonight, the Heart Truth Campaign will be at the Bozzi Collection with some of the Red Dress designer gowns to raise awareness of the statistics and to promote healthy lifestyles for women.

“In May we celebrate Mother's Day and National Women's Health Week, The Red Dress Collection is a great reminder of the importance of women's health and we challenge women to use this month to get screened, get active and eat healthy,” says Cherie Skager, Vice President of The Hope Heart Institute.

During the month of May, dresses from the Red Dress Collection are traveling throughout Washington for fun, ladies night out style, events that also serve as an education on heart health. Four of the dresses will be on display at the Bozzi Collection.
