The former president of a Grangeville hospital foundation is charged with 10 counts of felony grand theft and computer crimes for allegedly transferring the money from the foundation into her personal account.

Prosecutors allege Laurie Ann Rockwell was stealing the money from the Syringa Hospital Foundation between January 2008 and 2011. Money is missing from the foundation's events, thrift store and tuition assistance funds. Rockwell is scheduled to appear in court next Tuesday.

Rockwell is married to Idaho County Commissioner James Rockwell.

If somebody won the all-time record Mega Millions jackpot, they’d walk away with $540 million, not including taxes. The cash option is $389 million. Curious minds wonder how many work places have started up their own underground office pools. If one colleague wins, they’d all share the wealth fair and square.

Imagine the sunny beaches you could spend the rest of your life at, frolicking through the warm ocean waves. If that’s not your cup of tea, imagine a life of remote solitude enjoying land as far as the eye can see because you own it. Not a neighbor in sight. If you had a wild hair, you could share it with your favorite non-profit, supporting a worthy cause.

We asked readers on Facebook what they would do with $540 million. Here’s a few of their answers:

• Laura Ast would buy a car, pay off bills, help her kids, give a little cash to her parents and of course buy new towels for the bathroom.

• Seth Carey would buy lots of cats. When he says lots of cats, he means more than one hundred. That’s a lot of cats. We hope he understands what he’s getting himself into.

• Scott Byrnes would put his kids through college and open a hot rod shop. He’d also build a really cool house that looks like a castle.

• Ricky Orth would give half of it to WSU Athletics. Go Cougs.

We continue our series with Justin Rundle, Head Trainer at North Park Racquet Club in North Spokane. We're talking about how to train for Bloomsday. This article will teach how to prepare with the six remaining weeks.

Our event invites some of the world’s most elite runners, but is open to walkers and first time runners. Anyone can participate! However, that doesn’t mean one should show up unprepared. 

An easy to tool to get a plan laid out for any ability level is Runner’s World SmartCoach training program.

From there, it will generate a daily workout schedule. 

A valuable attribute to SmartCoach is the incorporation of high intensity days, short and long distance days, rest and strength training.
