Gout
Gout is one of the most common causes of arthritis, accounting for approximately 5% of all cases of arthritis or 1 person in 100 in the U.S. Gout results from the deposition of uric acid crystals into the cartilage of a joint. This happens because the amount of uric acid in the person’s blood gets too high to remain in solution and precipitates into crystals, much like too much sugar in water causes crystallization of the sugar. The deposition of these crystals into the cartilage around the joint is intensely inflammatory producing not only severe pain, but also redness, swelling and heat. By all estimates gout is the most painful type of arthritis; the intensity of the pain has been described by sufferers as so severe that it hurts whenever someone walks into their room.

Empowering women - The best weapon in the fight against global poverty
(ARA) - From here to Africa, women around the world are striving to improve life for their children and communities, while often facing the harshest of circumstances. Women make up half of the world's population. When women do not have the opportunity to secure an education, or earn money, or have a voice in family or community decisions, half of the world's creativity, intellect and determination is not put to use. These are barriers that women in the developing world face every day, and as a result, we all suffer when women's voices remain silent. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can help.

Midori Osumi
Midori Osumi passed away Saturday, April 10, 2010 after a short illness with family at her bedside; a 12-year cancer survivor. Midori was raised in the Twin Falls area. After finishing her education, she enjoyed a period of travel. As a career, she worked with the Internal Revenue Service, Washington DC and Los Angeles. In 1950, Midori found the love of her life and married Fred, who has preceded her in death; they had one child, Gloria. The young family started farming on the Basin Project in its early years. Midori enjoyed gardening and took advantage of the Basin’s great weather. She was also a long term volunteer at the Grant County Fair, no matter what the weather and a founding member of the Nisei Woman’s Club.

As a member of a homemaker’s club, she made bibs that were used at Samaritan Hospital. Fish trembled at the name, Midori, as they knew they stood not a chance against her as a fisherman. Midori is survived by her beloved daughter, Gloria Vorhies, a son-in-law Miles Douglass, 2 brothers and 3 sisters left of 12, many nieces, nephews, grand nieces, grand nephews and other relatives. Service will be held Saturday, April 17, 2010 at Benson’s Funeral Home, 104 W 5th Ave, Moses Lake, followed by a dinner at the O’Sullivan Grange.

Ruby Ruth Wiltz, 99, a life long resident of Washington passed away in Walla Walla, WA on February 2, 2010. Ruby was born in Molson, Wa., the 4th of 14 children. She grew up and attended school in Chesaw. In 1928 she married George H. Wiltz in Greenwood, Canada and lived on their ranch south of Chesaw. In 1944 the family moved to Chewelah. It was in Chewelah that she became a certified Practical nurse, a profession she followed throughout her life. In 1949 they moved to Moses Lake. Because of the rapid growth of Moses Lake at that time and her nursing experience she became immediately involved in the medical community and was employed in The Good Samaritan Hospital and later worked in the Doctors clinic. In 1964 they again established a permanent residence in Chesaw and became involved in the communities of Oroville, Molson and Chesaw until 2001 when she moved to Walla Walla to be closer to her son.

Miss Moses Lake
Reader disappointed with change
I am a past member of the Miss Moses Lake Pageant Scholarship Committee and the first executive director of the program. I was an active member of the committee for 46 years. During my involvement, three Miss Moses Lakes have become Miss Washington and competed for Miss America. I am concerned with the current direction of the Miss Moses Lake Pageant. In the past, we had bylaws stating contestants must be a resident of Moses Lake for at least six months prior to the pageant. I am concerned to see contestants from other communities competing and receiving the crown and honor of Miss Moses Lake. In the past three years, the title of Miss Moses Lake has been represented by young ladies who do not hail from Moses Lake.

MISS MOSES LAKE
Reader concerned about residency
To call the pageant that occurred in Moses Lake March 20th “The Miss Moses Lake Pageant” is a mockery and an insult to the citizens of Moses Lake.

The truth is, the perfect trip to Paris includes a bit of both worlds.
