It's that time of year again for haunted houses and ghostly ghouls. But for one Eastern Washington University fraternity it's time for a haunted fundraiser for their philanthropy group.

Sigma Phi Epsilon is turning their fraternity house into a haunted mansion to raise money for the charity Youth AIDS. Last year they donated more than $500, but this year they hope to raise even more.

The haunted house will be open Friday and Saturday, October 28th and 29th from 7:00 - 11:00 p.m. It costs $5 to get in and all the proceeds go to charity.

Here's a look at their haunted house from 2009.

Spokane International Airport is now up to design standards with the completion of a line of sight safety improvement project.

The $30 million project is now complete and the runway, now open.

The airport is celebrating the completion on Saturday featuring a group of antique Stearman aircraft with their “smoke-on” during a low-approach fly-by.

FAA standards required pilots in the cockpit are able to see a minimum of half the length of the runway from any point on the runway to any other point on the runway surface. The airport corrected this issue by raising the threshold to adjust the slope for the first 3,000 feet of the northeast end of the main runway.

Fish and Wildlife asks hunters to submit tissue samples from their season harvest

Fish and Wildlife asks hunters to submit tissue samples from their season harvest

For those of you hunting this season, Washington Department of Fish Wildlife asks a tiny favor of you. They’re hoping hunters will submit issue samples from their harvest.

WDFW is looking for tissue samples from animals harvested east of the Columbia River specifically from deer and elk. They’re hoping to continue the ongoing effort by WDFW to watch for Chronic Wasting Disease.

The disease has not been detected in Washington, but it has occurred in 15 other states and some Canadian provinces. In the 15-years of monitoring, WDFW has tested over 5,000 animals.

To submit a tissue sample, you’ll need to provide four inches of neck tissue attached to the head. The lymph nodes are then removed from the neck.
