The Sheriff’s Department will be at Lakeside C.O.P. Shop on July 20th from 2 - 7 p.m. Concealed weapons permits can be issued during this time or just stop by and meet Undersheriff Webb.

S.C.C.A.T. would like to thank LaDonna Cozby for being an outstanding volunteer. She joined S.C.C.A.T. in September 2010 and works in the C.O.P. Shop as well as the N.O.P. program. When we ask if she can take an additional shift, she is there to help.

LaDonna is a retired accountant. She likes to read, walk, ride bikes and garden.

LaDonna, we appreciate all that you do for S.C.C.A.T.

TIPS FOR PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION.

• Telephone scam artists try to get your personal information by offering prizes, credit cards and other

false benefits. If it is too good to be true, it probably is. *Do not sign any document until you or someone

you trust has read it. *Get two or more bids for home repair work from

reputable contractors. Do not hire anyone un-less they are bonded and licensed. Beware

of having more work done than is needed.

*There are many charity scams where the charity does not exist. Only donate to known charities.

*Make sure you check the refer-

ences of a potential caregiver and, if possible, perform a background check.

Rule out anyone with a history of violence, alcohol or drug abuse.

Dear Neighbors,

I write this letter to inform you Lakeside High School Principal, Mr. Mark St.Clair, has resigned to accept a position in the Mead School District. Mark had an exceptional tenure in this District as an administrator, teacher and coach over the past seventeen years. Although he will be missed as a critical contributor to the successes of LHS and the District, we wish him the very best in his new position.

We have officially posted the LHS principal position and are in search of an out-standing educational leader. The position is advertised as open until filled with the initial screening to occur on August 3rd. Thus, for best consideration, candidates will need to submit a completed application packet to the District Office by close of business on August 2nd. We have tentatively scheduled the interview window to occur between Tuesday, August 9th and Wednesday, August 11th. The timeframe will be narrowed depending upon the number of candidates screened to be interviewed. There will be opportunities for students, staff, and community members to meet the candidates and provide input and feedback, which is why I am informing you of the dates. I will keep you apprised of the developments and ask that you check in on the District’s website www.9mile.org during the next few weeks for updates. We aim to find and hire an exceptional leader whose professional skills and personal qualities match the needs, direction, and the established foundations of Lakeside High School and the Nine Mile Falls School District. Should such a candidate not surface, we are prepared to hire an interim for the 2011/12 school year and in that case, conduct a search for a permanent principal in the coming year. Our District and Lakeside High School have outstand-ing reputations, however, and I am confident this position will attract a strong pool of candidates interested in joining our team.

Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warm Regards,Brian L. TalbottSuperintendent Nine Mile Falls School District

A Letter from the Superintendant

“Happy Tails from Indian Trail Animal Clinic”

We were recently asked to provide a monthly article for the Outpost News-paper and we thought it would be nice to introduce ourselves to all the readers as our first submission!

Indian Trail Animal Clinic has been under the direction of Dr Ryan Brown since 2009 when he purchased the prac-tice. Dr Brown has been practicing in Spokane since 1999 and is a graduate of CSU. He has a special interest in ortho-pedics and performs several different cor-rective procedures, including the TPLO (tibial plateau leveling osteotomy) which helps dogs with knee injuries.

Dr Keri Bayley is a graduate of WSU who has interests in internal medicine and preventative care. Dr Gordon Armstrong , another WSU graduate, is our newest team member and neurology is his favorite field of study.

Our clinic staff is rounded out by our two licensed veterinary technicians, Colette and Jill S., three veterinary as-sistants, Jill O., Jennifer, and Ashlie, and our receptionists, Tobi and Hillary. All have multiple years of experience in the

veterinary field.Our fully equipped hospital offers a

variety of services including surgery (both soft tissue and orthopedics), preventative care, vaccines, radiography, ultrasonic dental cleaning, laboratory, pharmacy, prescription diets, and more. We have recently begun offering Class IV Therapy Laser services – an innovative, non-in-vasive treatment for pain management, wound healing, and chronic inflammation.

We strive to provide compassionate care to our client’s cats and dogs. We understand pets are members of the family and we treat every pet as if were one of our own. Thank you to all our current clients for their patronage and we look forward to meeting new clients and their pets.

We would love to hear your ideas in making these articles helpful and interest-ing to the Outpost readers – please feel free to send us your suggestions or ques-tions. We are located at 9027 N. Indian Trail Road.

Keep on wagging!The Staff at Indian Trail Animal

Algae in Lake Spokane My name is Galen Buterbaugh. I have

a degree in Fish and Wildlife Management and retired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after 32 years of service. I own a home on Lake Spokane near TumTum and represented the Lake Spokane Protection Association on the Fishery and Water Re-sources workgroups for the relicensing of the five Avista Dams on the Spokane River. I also represent the LSA in the Oxygen Total Maximum Daily Load deliberations conducted by the WA Dept. of Ecology. I have volunteered to write a series of articles on the physical and biological environment in Lake Spokane.

Lake Spokane is home to hundreds of species of algae. They come in all sizes from microscopic to long floating filaments. Most species are free floating in the water column and drift to the bottom when they die which leads to oxygen depletion in the deep water of the lake. Others float on the surface during various stages of their life cycle.

Typically during the summer many spe-cies increase dramatically in numbers. This is called a bloom and can last from a few hours to many days. When you cannot see as far down in the lake as usual an algae bloom probably is the cause. Blooms are caused by increased nutrients coming into the lake, mainly phosphorus.

Two types of algae that appear on the surface during part or all of their life cycle can become a nuisance. Filamentous algae is common in Lake Spokane in August and the first half of September. It spends all of its life cycle on the surface and is usually found in inshore areas and around docks. It grows in long strands and many species have a gelatinous coating, which makes it feel slimy to the touch. When you reach into the water to pick it up it comes up in long slippery strands. Filamentous algae floating on the surface is usually a uniform light green and has a rough appearance be-cause gas bubbles are trapped beneath the surface giving it a bumpy appearance. It is

never toxic during any part of its life cycle.Blue green algae spends much of its

life suspended in the water column. It received its name from the color of the individual cells when viewed through a microscope. During the later part of its cycle it floats to the surface and as it dies and decays can cause a very distinct musky smell. In about 10% of the cases where it occurs it can become toxic to animals that drink the water. Blue green algae looks like alternating areas of green and white paint floating on the surface. When you attempt to pick it up it dissolves into microscopic cells. It also is usually found in inshore areas and around docks during August and the first half of September. It is not as

common as filamentous algae and does not appear in Lake Spokane every

year. Blue green algae is very sensitive to phosphorus in

the water and its presence is an indicator of excess phosphorus.

It is very important that we document any occurrence of blue green algae in Lake Spokane.

Recording any appear-ance can be useful to the

WA Dept. of Ecology as it attempts to regulate phosphorus

discharge into the Spokane River. We need the LOCATION AND DATE of any appearance of Blue green algae. Pictures on a digital camera best record this with the date/time stamp turned on. Pictures should be taken that also show the location of the area in the background. Please contact the LSA at [email protected] if you see blue green algae anywhere in Lake Spokane. We can take digital pictures if you do not have the capability.

Tree pollen in April and May that falls into the lake and drifts along the shore can cause areas of white or light green scum that can be mistaken for algae. The pollen mainly comes from pine and willow trees and usually disappears within a week or two.

If you have comments about this arti-cle or suggestions for future articles please contact [email protected].

“Your Pet’s Second Best Friend”

Indian trail animal Clinic

9027 Indian trail Rd. Spokane Wa 99208

For one reason or another, many home owners want or need to retain their current residence when moving on to another home. Some do so because they like the investment potential and turn their home into a rental, while oth-ers do it out of necessity. Maybe they’d rather wait until the market turns hot again to maximize their sales price or maybe they actually owe more than the home’s worth.

Regardless the reason for keeping your current home, your choice will have a major impact on your ability to quali-fy for a new home loan. While renting your current residence may appear to be a good idea, lenders know from experience that there is a wide range of unforeseen issues that beset a first time landlord.

The first issue to consider is do you want to be a landlord and do you have the temperament to confront an unruly tenant? If the tenant pays the rent late are you willing to knock on the door and have a little chat about paying on time or vacating the property? Hir-ing a property management company to take on these responsibilities for you can be a great way to build a wall between you and the tenants but you’ll be giving up some of your monthly cash flow

Proper calculation of the cash flow is the next consideration. When I have clients talking to me about renting their home they often only consider the mortgage payment and figure if they can cover that amount with rent then they are ok. The problem is that there are other real cash expenses. I can tell you

from experience that tenants will find all kinds of repairs they want done for issues you never would have considered being a problem. The next biggest cash loss is vacancy. If you charge $1,000 for rent and the home is vacant a month and a half you are out $1,500. That’s the same as taking a $125 per month pay cut at work!

And when your tenants pay you late, that doesn’t mean you get to pay

your mortgage late. Even if your ten-ants only pay you late by a few days you may find yourself continually fronting the mortgage payment before you get the tenant’s rent money back into your bank account.

Cash flow analysis leads to the big daddy of being a landlord – do you have six to twelve months of payments stored away in your bank account? Lenders call this cash reserves. As vacancies occur or repairs are required you don’t want to be dipping into your regular household budget.

So what does all this have to do with the home you want to move in to? Well, assuming you need a home loan for the next house, your decision to rent out your current residence will be a big

factor in whether you get approved.The guidelines for a Conventional

loan are a little different than those for an FHA loan, but in general both pro-grams are going to require significant equity in your current residence being vacated or significant cash reserves in the bank. The newest buzz word in lending is “buy and bail.” Lenders have seen a significant increase in buyers who are purchasing a new home and

once in that home never mak-ing another loan payment on the home they departed.

Retaining your current residence as a rental when you move can be a good idea. Some of the very strongest financial statements I’ve seen are from applicants who have turned principal residences into rentals as they’ve moved to new ones. Over the long

term they’ve built up large equity posi-tions and have a healthy cash flow com-ing in every month to supplement their employment income.

Michael has 20 years’ experience in the lending industry. In that time he’s directly helped over 1,400 families finance the purchase of a new home or refinance an existing loan to a lower interest rate. Rebecca has a CPA back-ground in auditing financial institutions which brings an incredible resource to First Priority Financial. Together they are licensed to help families in the states of WA and CA. If you, or anyone you know, needs help with a home loan call 509-252-9151 or send an email to [email protected].

We have all heard that saying “you do not know what you got until it is gone,” this is never more in my thoughts then when I think about my grandparents, for they both passed away from cancer before I ever had the opportunity to learn about all of the things they did for our country. Ray Donald Hugh Thomas and Clara Jean Barnes Thomas are the reason why I relay. Had they not been taken by cancer I would have gotten to know them a whole lot better and there would not be a huge gap in my family history.My grandmother, Clara was born October 4, 1923 in Ohio; she was the daughter of a suffragette and was a caring and compassionate child. She married my grand-father in 1942 they were a fashionable couple. My grandfather was a dashing and handsome soldier and my grandmother was the “girl next door” with and indepen-dent streak. Soon after they were married, my grandfa-ther was sent overseas. While he fought in Italy, South Africa, and other venues; my grandmother was a dili-gent wife, mother, and patriot. She raised my uncle and worked to earn money, but it was not enough for her and soon she joined the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corp. My grandfather was strictly opposed to this and even wrote her in a V-mail (Victory Mail) letter; “I do not agree with you joining, you should be home taking care of our son”. Whatever the reason, my grandmother thought it was her duty to serve and she did not back down. While work-ing for the war effort she lost her finger. The family story

at this point is jumbled; she either lost it while working with machinery or when the lid of a tank slammed shut on her hand. What I remember of my Grandmother is very limited as she died when I was 10 years old. It was only a few days before we were to make the trip to Florida to see her. She died of Lymphoma that had progressed very rapidly.My grandfather was born September 15, 1920. He was one of 14 children! When the depression started, his par-ents had tough decisions to make. When Roosevelt’s New Deal became a reality, they allowed my Grandfather to leave home at the age of 13 and make his way through the Civilian Conservation Corps. Later he met my grand-mother, married and started a family. He was a Sergeant in WWII, his position was that of an Engineer. He built bridges for supplies and troops and then strategically blew them up so they could not be used by the enemy. He worked hard during his time apart from his family and every v-mail letter he sent home was filled with longing to return to his young wife and child. He was awarded a medal during the war, but we do not know what type. My grandfather started smoking when he was young and developed throat cancer, but he lived for a long time died when I was 14. I loved both of my grandparents very much but we did not get to see each other very often because they lived in Florida and I lived in Washington. Every Christmas and birthday they sent a card with $5 in it, I still have some of those cards and I treasure every note that they wrote.

Their lives remain much a mystery and what I would give to be able to fill in the blanks. I would love to sit down and really get to know them and the things they did for our country. It is for reasons like this that we must find a cure for cancer. Had cancer not entered their lives I would have been able to have a relationship with them and I would have loved them all the more!In a way cancer is a thief, it takes away those we love and leaves gaps behind. I relay because I want to put cancer behind bars so that everyone can live their lives to the fullest and share their family history with future genera-tions. Let us remember those we have lost and let us win the war against cancer.

Tim RasmussenStevens County Prosecuting Attorney

Prosecutor DeskThis past week was very busy in the

office. The week started with the report of the murder of Gordon Feist of Colville. The Stevens County Sheriff’s office worked to investigate this killing, and within four days, detectives made an arrest. Eric Booth is in custody. He will be formally charged this week. The investigation is continuing. There is evidence from the scene that is at the lab and there is much testing to be done. An attorney has been appointed for Mr. Booth. His bond is now set at $750,000.

Last week there was a jury trial in Dis-trict Court on a DUI case which lasted two days. At the end of the trial, the jury could not unanimously agree and a mistrial was declared. The office will decide whether to retry the case. A legal issue over the breath test arose during that trial which may affect other DUI cases that are currently pending. This issue must be explored and a definitive ruling obtained to determine if other cases are affected by the problem.

On Thursday, I met with the Spokane Tribal Council in Wellpinit. The meeting was to talk about an issue over the prosecu-tion of state game law cases. At the heart of the issue is the question of whether

state game law or tribal game law will be enforced on tribal land and by whom. I explained to the Tribal Council that the prosecutor has no control over WFDW. I also told the council that I respected the tribe’s right to control their tribal land. This problem is complicated by the apparent fact that the Spokane Tribe has never signed a treaty with the United States or the State of Washington regarding the application of state law to hunting and fishing on Tribal land. I will write to the Attorney General and seek his involvement in this.

This past week I was visiting some folks at a small country gas station and the lady said that someone had told her that because of budget cuts, home burglaries would not be prosecuted in Stevens County. I told her that information is completely false. There is no category of serious crime that this office has decided not to prosecute simply because of strains in the budget. The only area where we have made prosecution policy changes is in Driving While License Suspended III cases. The majority of those cases are now handled as infractions as they are in many other counties.

“Create a definite plan for carry-ing out your desire, and begin at once, whether you’re ready or not, to put it into action.” -- Napoleon Hill, motivational expert

Losing weight, in the simplest of terms, means using up more calories than you take in. According to the scientific re-search, one pound of fat is 3500 calories. Therefore, in order to lose one pound of fat you either have to burn up 3500 calo-ries or cut 3500 calories from your diet. Obviously not eating 3500 calories from your diet in one day is not going to cut it.

Maintaining your ideal weight is a matter of balancing the number of calo-ries required to remain there. This means balancing out the number of calories con-sumed with the calories burned during the day. The United States Department of Ag-riculture’s site at MyPyramid.gov states that 60 minutes of moderate to intense exercise is needed each day to prevent an increase of body weight or to lose weight.

If you have already lost the weight and want to keep it off, then you may

need to increase your activity levels of exercise up to 60 to 90 minutes a day.

The key ingredients to losing or maintaining weight is to have an exercise plan.

Throughout the week, schedule time to do cardiovascular work, strength train-ing, and stretching exercises. You could do each of these in each session but doing so would mean giving short shrift to one or more of them. You will be better off scheduling separate times for each.

For instance, one week’s schedule could look similar to this: three days of cardio and two days of strength train-ing with stretching included at the end of each. The next week could be three days of strength training, with two days of cardio and stretching at the end. The reason you do the majority of stretching at the end is because your muscles are warmed up and your body is in a much more receptive mood.

Stay strong, and remain passionately committed to your hearts chosen path.

Evening of Japan Family Event July 28

The Lakeside Library is proud to present “An Evening of Japan” on Thursday, July 28 6:00-8:00 at Lakeside Middle School. This family event will feature a demonstration from Spokane Kendo Club and Spokane Taiko. Kendo is Japanese fencing and swordplay that developed from the many schools of swordsmanship that have existed in Japan during the last several years. Taiko is an ancient Japanese form of percussion using large drums, creat-ing music that is loud and fast and involves choreo-graphed movement that many identify with Japanese martial arts. Following the Kendo and Taiko performances in the middle school gymnasium, guests will be invited to participate in a cultural fair, which will include displays, crafts and food samples. Adults and kids will enjoy making calligraphy bookmarks, a bonsai demonstration, displays of Japanese clothing and toys, origami and

some delicious samples of favorite Japa-nese foods. The Red Cross will be rep-resented, inviting guests to learn more about the Japan Tsunami Recovery effort or make a donation. Also, local Spokane resident Mitsuomi Nakamura, founder of the nonprofit group Japan Relief from Spokane, will be selling original design

t-shirts for $10.All proceeds benefit re-lief work in Japan. Bring the entire family, friends and neighbors, and show support for the members of our community who are from Japan. This program is free to

everyone, but just a few dollars in dona-tion or the purchase of one t-shirt can help so much in Japan and show what a generous spirit we have here in the Nine Mile Falls community. Call 276-3329 for info. Please be our guests at “An Evening of Japan” at Lakeside Middle School on Thursday, July 28th 6-8 pm! Thank you!

Early Sunday morning, the kids, Suzy and I loaded up the Scion and headed to Curlew lake. As small as the Scion is, it was a good thing we were only going for the day. An early start combined the lack of traffic and beauti-ful weather made for an enjoyable trip. If you have never been to Curlew lake, it is just over 2 hour drive north from Lake Spokane, in Ferry county. Suzy’s family was staying at Tiffany’s resort for a week long camping trip / reunion and we went to spend the day with

them. The swimming, paddle boating and kayaking were quite enjoyable. What surprised me, was how few campers there were at the lake. Other than one ski boat, the lake was pretty calm. Many of the popular destinations can become quite congested. So, if you feel like getting away from it all, check out some of the campgrounds here in the Tri-County area (Ferry, Pend Oreille, and Stevens). Though the trip was short, everyone had a great time.

Editor’s Desk ... Political Humor

I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it. Voltaire

I have read the two letters about the inconvenience to people having to stop at the new stop sign on Wylie Road. Prior to these traffic revisions being implemented Larry Guenther our County Commissioner arranged a community meeting to go over the traf-fic changes considered for the Suncrest area. Larry invited Jim Whitbred; the County Engineer, Sheriff Kendle Allen, three of the sheriff deputies also dropped in on the traffic revision discussions. This meeting was very informative, Mr. Whitbred passed out maps showing the traffic flow for highway 291 and the main roads in Suncrest.

One of the points of discussion was the Greenfield and Wylie intersection. I ques-tioned the safety concerns for traffic traveling north on Greenfield and being unable to see oncoming traffic going east on Wylie due to the bend in the road and shrubbery blocking the line of sight. The deputies concurred with danger of this intersection due to the bend and shrubbery blocking the view and the number of accidents at this intersec-tion.

Mr Whitbred’s maps showed the traffic count turning off 291 onto Wylie was 679 cars but only 267 cars continued on Wylie beyond Greenfield. The traffic flow had 226 cars on Wylie going to Highway 291 at the Greenfield intersection. The count on Wylie from Greenfield to highway 291 was 680 cars. These numbers show the traffic flow on Greenfield not counting Greenfield’s through traffic far exceed the traffic on Wylie.

It is unfortunate that the people will complain about situations and blame our County Officials but will not take time to be part of the planning process. This is a good example of our County Officials trying to keep people informed and only 12 people showed up for this important meeting. The maps on the traffic flow in Suncrest have been available at the cop shop since the meeting.

An interesting statistic showed traffic turning onto Suncrest Drive at 291 is the busiest county road in Stevens County.

PS: Yes, I do live on Greenfield, I do stop or slow down at the Wylie and Greenfield intersection until people get used to the revised traffic signs, as I do not want to be another traffic statistic.

Bud Stanley Nine Mile Falls

Last evening I took my dogs for a walk in the Suncrest alleys; something that I do daily during good weather. After our walk, they were both covered in burs all over their bodies. It took me over ½ hour to comb them both out. Shortly after we came inside, my 15 lb dog became lethargic went under the bed where she goes when something is bothering her. I finally coaxed her out and began rubbing her head. When I tried to stroke her ears, she yipped terribly.

By morning, she was worse and I knew something was wrong so we headed for the vet. She had cheat grass in both ears and when it reached the sensitive parts of her ear, it caused her a tremendous amount of pain. The vet said that addi-tional rain has caused the cheat grass to be abundant this year. When it dries and the dogs walk through it the pieces break off and can get into their ears, nose, eyes, throat; everywhere. And, when it gets into those sensitive areas, the grasses cause a lot pain. Bottom line is she had to be put to sleep in order to remove the grasses from her ears which was expensive but certainly necessary in order for her to be pain free.

Please be careful and walk your pets in areas where these grasses aren’t grow-ing which means the best place is on the roads. Just be sure to take plastic bags to pick up any feces that might be dropped.
