Calling all Tri City artists! Indoor mural project needs you!

February 8th, 2010

Pasco’s YMCA Martin Luther King Jr Center has a blank wall, and the Tri Cities has many gifted artists, so it seems logical that they should come together to create something spectacular for the young people who attend the center to enjoy. The theme that has been chosen by the YMCA and the Leadership Tri Cities Class XV is title Three Rivers, Four Cities, One Heart: Inspiring Leadership Through Art.

Students, artists, and the leadership class attendees will come together to paint the 75×10 mural. If you are an artist, there will be an informational meeting Wednesday Feb 10 at 4pm at 205 S. Wehe, which is the MLK Jr Center.  The selected artist can receive up to a $10,000 commission.

Authors bring love of reading to Tri City students

February 8th, 2010

The Tri Cities will play host to a group of young adult book authors this week, with hopes of encouraging students to read more and perhaps, become authors themselves. A workshop on Friday will give authors a chance to discuss the process of writing, such as finding inspiration to writing for TV.

For the second year in a row, the Calvalcade of Authors will be held at Pasco’s Red Lion.  Not all students will be able to attend the event, so some of the authors will make the rounds to local schools to speak and encourage students.

Some Richland middle and high school students will attened, as will some high school students from Kennewick High this year, and organizers are hopeful that this will become an event that all Tri Cities schools will add.

Clean energy = Tri Cities job growth

February 8th, 2010

Wind, solar, hydro, nuclear and biomass power production are the new clean energy fields to bring further job growth to the Tri Cities and Washington State, according to officials attending the 10th Harvesting Clean Energy Conference in Pasco.  It is believed that the Tri Cities will be at the tip of the spear of this economic development.

“The Tri Cities is perfectly positioned for the next great wave of technological development,” said Rep. Jay Inslee. The conference is aimed at advancing clean energy economic development throughout the region, with emphasis on developing and producing more clean energy.

Foreclosure in sight? Lenders can legally collect from you afterwards

February 4th, 2010

Lenders who have had to take back a home, do have the right to try and collect defaulted funds from the people taking out that loan. Recently, a Florida man found that even after his foreclosure was completed, he was being pursued by collectors for tens of thousands of dollars! Lenders are able collect through several means, i.e., wages, bank accounts, and setting liens of on other assets. In this case, Florida laws permit mortage holders are allowed to obtain a judgment within 5 years of the foreclosure and have up to 20 years to collect on it.

Pres. Obama hopes to make foreclosures a thing of the past by presenting the Home Affordable Modification Program, thus cutting a mortgagee’s payment to 1/3 of the household income.
