Art at the Interstate Fair
The Fine Arts Department of Bay 4, Spokane Interstate Fair, announces the unveiling of an 8’x8’ mural. The piece consists of 64 12”x12” squares. The squares were created by local artists who donated their time to create this Mosaic Mural to raise money for the Fine Art Department at the fair. The mural squares were created in a variety of mediums, including Professional, Nonprofessional, and Students; a wide range of ages are represented in this collaborative piece. The proceeds will go the Fine Arts Department of Spokane Interstate Fair for art display systems. The mural will appear at 7:00pm, opening day of the Fair, Friday September 9, designated “Fine Arts Friday” and will stay on display throughout the Fair. A silent on-line auction, hosted by Gallery of THUM at (thumstores.com), starts on Friday September 9th and runs through the entire month of September.

Registered Nurse, Judith D. Personett was selected by the National Council State Boards of Nursing as the recipient of the Exceptional Contribution Award in Nursing. Presentation of the award took place at the Annual Delegate Assembly, NCSBN, of Nurse Regulators from the 50 States and Territories. Dr. Personett has served on the Washington State Nursing Care Quaity Assurance Commission, a gubernatorial appointment, for the past eight years and was elected by her peer commissioners as their chair for five terms. Her contributions include the Washington State Nursing Commission newsletter sent to the more than 100,000 nurses of Washington State; the Continuing Competency Program for nurses as well as cost containment programs such as paperless licenses and videoconferencing of State wide business meetings. Dr. Personett served as the Chief of the Nursing Service at the Spokane Veterans Administration Medical Center for more than seven years as part of her career in the
VA which included seven assignments in six different states. Prior to joining the VA, she served in various hospitals for more than 10 years. Following retirement from the VA, she served as Nurse Administrator at the Spokane County Jail. She graduated as a nurse from St. Joseph’s Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana and continued her education by earning her BSN from DePaul,Chicago, an MA at Ball State and her doctorate from University of San Francisco. She earned her certification as a Nurse Administrator Advanced in 1980, and later received Certification as a Professional in Quality Assurance and finally in Corrections Healthcare. Dr. Personett lives in Nine Mile Falls where she reared her three children and now enjoys her grandchildren. “To be the recipient of this National Award reflects the amazing opportunities that I have enjoyed during more than 50 years as a nurse. It is a wonderful profession”, states Dr. Personett.

Every week or two, the Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys summarizes the cases that have been decided by the Appellate Courts that are of interest to prosecutors and others in the justice system. Here is a sampling of the recent decisions that affect the work the prosecutor’s office does. These summaries are published on the WAPA website: Street Name. The trial court struck a reasonable balance by requiring law enforcement witnesses and counsel to refer to the defendant as “Michael” or “Mr. Rodriguez,” while allowing lay witnesses who knew the defendant as Little Evil to refer to him as “Little Evil”. State v. Rodriguez, COA No. 26283-9III (Aug. 23, 2011). Open Courts. The exclusion of one person is not a closure that violates the defendant’s public trial right but instead is an aspect of the court’s power to control the proceedings. The trial court judge did not abuse his discretion by removing the defendant’s four-year-old daughter from the courtroom because
the daughter’s ventilator was distracting and noisy. State v. Lormor, No. 84319-8 (Jul. 21, 2011). Jury Selection. Const. Art. I, § 22 requires that a defendant who commits a crime in that portion of a city that lies within Snohomish County receive a jury that is selected solely from Snohomish County. City of Bothell v. Barnhart , No. 84907-2 (Jul. 28, 2011). Domestic Violence. Evidence of the victim’s prior assaults on the defendant were admissible as proof of motive, absence of mistake or accident, and to assist the jury in assessing the credibility of a witness who is the victim of domestic violence at the hands of the defendant. State v. Baker, COA No. 64511-1-I (Apr. 25, 2011, publication ordered Jul. 25, 2011). Offender Score. Probation or supervision on an out-of-state criminal conviction does not count in a Washington offender score calculation. State v. King, COA No. 28905-2-III (Jun. 14, 2011).

SHARP AUTO & BOAT REPAIR
Speed Signs Many folks have expressed concerns about speeding in several neighborhoods in Suncrest. Greenfield, Sagewood, Suncest Drive and Sunrise have been a source of frequent complaints. Shore Road between Suncrest Drive and Suncrest Park has been a perennial problem for the residents who live in that area. Working with the Sheriff and Public Works Departments, a plan has been developed to eventually place three digital speed signs in the area in hopes that
informing drivers of their speed will slow them down. The signs will flash when a vehicle’s speed exceeds the speed limit. The plan is to make these signs portable so that they can be moved to different locations when problem areas are identified. You may see the first sign appear within the next couple months. The speed limit in all of Suncrest is 25 mph except Suncrest Drive which is 35 mph. Sales Tax Sales Tax in Stevens County is currently 7.6%. Spokane County sales tax
is 8.7%. Residents need to be aware that if you have services provided by contractors who come from Spokane County that you only need to pay 7.6%. If you have items shipped to your residence you need only to pay 7.6% tax. The tax differential between counties in many cases could be a huge savings. I know of a gentleman who purchased a Toyota truck in Colville and saved close to $500.00. Something to think about.

How Much Activity Do You Need 2
Virtually any exercise that challenges your muscles, such as lifting weights, or using elastic materials such as tubes and bands, outdoor work, including gardening, mowing the lawn, raking, lifting rocks and moving soil around your yard are all considered a form of muscle strengthening activities. Ideally, when doing a resistance training program the goal is to work all the major muscle groups, such as your shoulders, chest and upper back, abs lower back, legs, hips and arms throughout the course of the week. One of the ways to do this is to do a full body routine three times a week. These sessions do not need to last more than 50 to 55 minutes. If you are over 65 years of age, then consider following these recommendations: Primarily, you must avoid inactivity. Staying active keeps your brain and body engaged with life. Without this activity, both mind and body lose their ability to function correctly. If you are inactive, then begin any type of exercise routine slowly. Gradually build your tolerance up to exercise and you will soon begin to derive the
benefits of being active. If you have any the above-mentioned chronic conditions, don’t give up because there is always something that you can do that will help your condition. Remember, a little bit of activity is better than no activity. Therefore, be as active as you can, considering your present physical condition. Don’t forget to include balance training exercises with your strength training; you will reduce your chances of falling, which can be a major blow, as you get older, to your overall health. You don’t need to go to the gym to do the balance training; you can do a lot of it at home. Start out standing next to the sink and raising one leg, you can walk normally or sideways, being careful at the same time. You can increase your lower body strength by sitting down and then standing up five to fifteen times from your chair. Staying active is not a passive endeavor. You have to put forth the effort and the effort you put into it will be repaid with better physical health By Danny M. O’Dell, MA. CSCS*D

“No Cost Loan,” A Real Benefit Or A Costly Mistake?
Have you ever wondered about all title and escrow companies. There’s no the wage expense of the lender’s employthose ads you see for a “No Cost Loan?” way they are providing their product and ees. If you call the lender advertising service for “no cost.” So how does a lender get away with such a loan you will likely elicit a pitch Lenders will typically cover their advertising a “No Cost Loan?” that goes something like this - “the internal overhead by charging an OrigiIn a “no cost” loan scenario the benefit of the no cost loan is that when nation Fee (a percentage of the amount lender is covering the costs by charging rates go down another ¼% you can just you borrow), or as a flat fee.

Clayton Community Fair
This last weekend I had a great time at the Clayton Community Fair. Since it’s groundbreaking ceremony, the Outpost newspaper has been involved with the fair. Not only do we promote this annual event, we also have a booth near the gate. It was very enjoyable to speak to so many of our readers over the three-day event. I really appreciate your ideas and feedback. It was also nice to receive so many compliments about our publications, Green Liv-
ing Monthly and the Outpost. It was good to see so many people from the Nine Mile area attend and participate in the fair. Thank you again for your continued support. Please patronize our advertisers, as it is their advertising that makes this publication possible. If you have any ideas for articles or would like to advertise your business, please give us a call or send us an email. Outpost Newspaper 467-3826 / danam@lakespokanemedia.com.
“I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” Voltaire
Move On In the grand scheme of the cosmos, especially with all that’s going wrong in our nation, isn’t there something more important to gripe about than sign changes? As I recall, there were public meetings held about this exact topic, and the majority ruled. Greenfield’s always been an expressway, where very few slow for any sign, and a simple solution is for law enforcement to be visible on weekends and at the end of the high school day. I understand that budgetary concerns might not allow for babysitters to grown people who should have enough consideration for others to drive safely, but if LE makes themselves known around Suncrest, a LOT of things might change ~ including the pesty traffic offenders. Let’s move on to something important, like the lack of education our kids are getting. Tish Pope Suncrest
