| Why You Should Consider Flood Insurance Now
If you live in a flood-prone area and do not have federal flood insurance, you may be taking a dangerous gamble -- even at this time of year. That's what many homeowners discovered in the Midwest during flooding there last week. And KIRO 7 Consumer Investigator Amy Clancy says for some, the risk is high here, too. The days are getting longer, warmer and a bit drier, but in fact, spring is a dangerous season for flooding in the Northwest -- especially as our record winter snowfall begins to melt in the mountains. And as many local families have already learned, one flooded river can change their lives forever. It's a Saturday last December following heavy rains and flooding of the Chehalis River in Lewis County. Flooding left five feet of water in the home of Bob and Luana Bue, of Boistfort, destroying everything inside.

Pa. Catholics have strong democratic voice
Understanding Pennsylvania's rich Catholic tradition and responding to it is an article of faith for Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama as the April 22 primary looms in the still unsettled and intense Democratic presidential race. It's a way of life - and of thinking - well-known to the people of Scranton, a working-class city nestled in northeast Pennsylvania where earlier generations worked in the factories, mills and coal mines - and kneeled in prayer in Catholic church pews on Sunday morning. On Election Day of yesteryear, large numbers of Pennsylvania Catholics evoked the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt and voted Democratic. This year, Clinton has fared well among Catholic voters in early primary states and she holds a substantial lead over Obama among Catholic Democrats in Pennsylvania polls.
