FOR THE REPORTER
The Auburn School District Board of Directors on Tuesday unanimously selected Dr. Alan Spicciati as the new superintendent to replace Kip Herren,
who is retiring June 30.“Dr. Spicciati has a clear vision for
Auburn’s future and a deep respect and understanding for the strong founda-tional work to date,” said Carol Seng, board president. “His connection to
the community and his awareness of the community’s history and culture will serve us well for years to come.
“He is committed to working with families from all communities and values partnerships with community
organizations and businesses to ensure all students are successful,” Seng said.
Spicciati is chief accountability of-ficer at Highline Public Schools.

Students, faculty and community mem-bers packed the Green River College Board of Trustees meeting on May 21, concerned about po-tential program cuts and lack of communication from college leaders.
College officials noti-fied faculty in April that four programs could be eliminated because of a budget shortfall,
citing low enrollment in auto body technology, geographic information systems and the high cost of offering carpentry and parent-child educa-tion.
Faculty members claim the potential cuts target members of the Union Faculty and are an act of retaliation.
Per contract stipula-tions, faculty members have until June 8

to come up with a solution to save the programs.
Faculty spared the parent-child education program in early May by reducing the number of course sections and faculty while still serving the same number of students.
Faculty and college representatives have been in unsuccessful contract negotiations for more than a year.
Earlier this month, faculty filed an Unfair Labor Practice complaint with the Washington State Public Employees Relations Commission and presented the Board of Trustees with a Vote of No Confidence
in college President Eileen Ely. Jamie Fitzgerald, an English instructor at Green River, said 92 percent of the college’s 114 tenured faculty voted in favor of the no confidence vote. College officials said this equates to 29 percent of all faculty, including nonten-ured and adjunct. Faculty also presented a Vote of No Confidence to Ely in 2013.
Students presented the board with a petition with more than 200 student signatures expressing their lack of confidence in Ely.
“In the history of this college there has never been this level of unrest and bad morale …,” Mark Millbauer, president of the college’s faculty union and head of
the auto body technology program, said during the board meeting. “It is so bad that not only have we had to give a second Vote of No Confidence and a serious letter of concern about our president, we are to the point of where our faculty are considering strong ac-tions up to, and including, a strike – a stop of labor.”
On May 22, Union Faculty members voted to authorize the union’s execu-tive board to call a strike if they deem it necessary.
Fitzgerald said those who voted were primarily ten-ured faculty, but the union hopes to poll nontenured and adjunct faculty to get a vote that represents more of the college’s instructors.
He said on Wednesday there were no plans for a strike.
“We are trying to give the administration every opportunity to avoid this,” Fitzgerald said. “We are hoping they come to their senses.”
He said the union hopes to have some faculty travel to Olympia to let lawmak-ers know what is going on at the college. Faculty also organized a letter-writing campaign to the governor to make him aware of the situation.
Board of Trustees chair Pete Lewis said he hopes to improve communication
with faculty. “There is a frustration
that was caused more by outside influences, and I’m talking about finance in the Legislature,” Lewis said after the May 21 board meeting. “That really needs to be addressed. These teachers need to be paid and I would really like to see that take place. That is really going to be my priority and open communications, bringing the faculty to the table in the process provided.”
Lewis said the board has no plans to act on the Vote of No Confidence. The board released a statement in support of Ely on May 22.
“Most importantly, we wish to make it clear that we as a Board support the efforts of President Ely and her Administrative team,” the statement said.
About 30 students, faculty and community members spent more than an hour addressing the board during the May 21 meeting.
John Martin, a student in the carpentry program, told the board he comes from a family with ties to the carpentry industry.
“I chose this program because of its reputation for quality and the unparal-leled hands-on work it does with students and serving the community at large,”
he said. Martin said he was
drawn to the program because it is the only one in the area to offer night courses. He said it would be difficult to find another program so he could finish his certification.
“The differences in cur-riculum and class structure would put Green River students in the position to forfeit their progress thus far, accept time and money loss and have to start over completely,” he said. “As a paying customer, allowing students to enter a program they can’t finish is false advertising.”
Donny Hallstone, who has taught math at the col-lege for more than 30 years, spoke to the board about the contentious environ-ment on campus.
“I’ve seen bad times and good times, but they have never been like this,” he said. “Morale, at this point, is by far the worst ever. In talking to others today about that, it occurred to us in the conversation that a lot of the board members are newer. You may have the feeling that faculty are always angry, always com-plaining, but this couldn’t be further from the truth for most of the time that I have been here. We have been pushed to the brink.”

Farmers market gets ready for another seasonBY ROBERT WHALE
It boasts more than 40 vendors, from restaurant-based concession stands steeped in home-cooked flavor to stands offering a variety of fresh, locally grown, farm-based foods and hand-made items.
What is it? Why, the Auburn International Farmers Market, of course.
And at 10 a.m. Sunday, June 7, the market pitches freshly, nay, fragrantly into its seventh year, in the Auburn Sound Transit Plaza at 23 A St. SW.
In coordination with the City of Auburn, this year’s market fairly bursts with good stuff, like free performances, chef demonstrations with farm-fresh ingredients, kids activities, and classes on health, nutrition and gardening.
“I’m authentically jazzed, I’m all pumped up,” said City Councilman Bill Peloza, the City’s driving market force from the beginning.
Here’s the buzz on the 2015 market.
About 45 vendors are expected on opening day, about on par, Peloza said, with the market’s first year.

?Question of the week:“Should the Supreme Cour t allow gay marriage?”
Vote online:www.auburn-reporter.comLast week’s poll results:“Should Auburn welcome a helicopter repair business to its airpor t?”Yes: 92% No: 8%
I am deeply disappointed by the Green River College Board of Trustees’ (BOT) response to community concerns.
The lack of acknowledge-ment of two faculty votes of no confidence, concerns expressed within the no con-fidence documents, a student petition of no confidence in the president, and approxi-mately two hours of public comments from concerned staff, students and citizens after the trustees meeting is disheartening, to say the least.
The BOT references the budgetary troubles of the college in its support of the president and states that this latest vote of no confidence comes in the wake of a poten-tial reduction-in-force. One would be hard pressed to argue these points. Most colleges in the region felt economic crisis a few years ago when state funding changed.
We were seemingly able to ride out these troubles through some of our “contractual income.” And now we are in a crisis? What has changed? Did we not see this coming? During these past several years of “surviving,” we have remod-eled and built new build-ings and created several new programs.
I support each of these endeavors individually, but should we be doing so many
new things at once while in hard economic times? Should we have planned better so as not to sacrifice long-standing, community driven programs?
More importantly to me is the way these changes are taking place. Yes, this latest vote of no confidence comes after notification of potential program cuts, but that was just the last straw. The campus community I once loved and bragged about to all of my friends has become a toxic environment. Staff comment about “just keeping their head down” and fear that at any mo-ment someone might tell them their job is no longer needed. People who try to express their concerns fear for their jobs.
Decisions are made unilater-ally without consulting or at the very least giving advanced notice to those involved. When given the opportunity to give
ideas or solutions, faculty and staff suggestions are often cast aside before real consideration. Our community feels broken.
No longer is coming to work something I look forward to every day. I am extremely thankful for my wonderful colleagues and students who remind me each day the joy of what I do for a living.
But, feeling cast aside, un-dervalued, and even scorned by this administration wears on a person. And this means those wonderful students are not getting my best self. Don’t they deserve that from all of us? – Rochelle Mitchell, mathematics instructor for 19 years at Green River College
Thank you, Safeway, for your generosity
Recently one of my fourth-grade students received a brand new bike for his birth-day. Less than two weeks later, the bicycle was stolen while it was locked up outside the Auburn Safeway.
My student went inside to report the theft and was met with friendly faces and a sympathetic ear from the em-ployees in the Safeway Floral Department. The employees graciously assisted by contact-ing the police and comforting a very distraught young man.

Fund a school system that works for all
Well, legislators are 30 days into a special session because they haven’t figured out how to fully fund schools while the Washington State Supreme Court still holds them in con-tempt for not doing their paramount duty.
What you haven’t been hearing is that all the debate on how to fully fund schools is focused on just some kids. The many high school students who are not graduating and
not passing the myriad of tests required are left out of the debate. This system of “College for All” does not serve all. Seniors today are dropping out at the highest rate in decades due to a “college
now or not at all” message embedded in the “College for All” mantra.
College, as the state funds it, is for the up-per middle class and affluent kids who can pay for a four-year degree, have parental help to go, stay and pay for the college tuition, and take on the college debt when they graduate. College tuition costs are not affordable for low-income students from any population, much less those of color. Even if tuition rates are lowered 25 percent by the state, students and parents from these populations cannot afford to go, even if they wanted to. It is said there are fewer than 200 African-American students among this fall’s incoming class of freshmen at the University of Washington.
The students who are dropping out during their senior year are not any less bright or talented than those who stay until graduation; they just don’t see themselves fitting into the one-size-fits-all mold of going off to a

four-year university three months after they graduate.
They want more out of life. They and others who have dropped out of the system have come to realize that school, as the talking heads and powers that be in Olympia have created it, is a system that fails to help them find their passion at an early age, and then beats them up with tests.
All kids need to know English and math, but it is about what they know and are able to use that is of more interest to them. They are looking for opportunities for deeper learning in an applied way instead of just sitting and getting. All of us learn better by doing. This isn’t about rigor, it is about vigor, and students are looking for vig-orous classes they know will take them where they want to go in life.
As a result of Olympia poli-cies, more and more students are not simply being left be-hind, they are being forced out
by the system because there is a very desperate lack of what they need in school to use their passion and provide them with an alternate pathway to success. The good news is there are programs and classes for students who want to learn by doing, who want to take a path that leads to good-paying jobs and careers, which are interest-ing to them without getting a four-year degree first.
These kids want to get to doing, they want to make stuff, they want to create, they want to get to work and become adults sooner than later. They want to take ca-reer and technical education classes in high school, they want to get into the trades, they want the skills to work in areas that interest them, not four-to-six more years of school on the promise there may be good paying jobs when they are done.
The bad news is Olympia and those who fund and create the rules for educa-tion have determined that this type of education and career choice is not worthy
of taxpayer dollars and of cultural value. Our leaders in Olympia have failed to put the resources into career and technical education programs that put students in position for living-wage jobs that have a future for them and their families. When they are ready and have the need for “higher education” they will earn that degree, and more than likely, have employer help with the costs.
All of us need to demand more from Olympia. This is about expanded oppor-tunity for all students. Tell the legislators to provide resources to expand high quality career and technical education programs in all of our local high schools so that all of our children are valued, supported, and have the tools for success in good-paying jobs and life.
Call Olympia today and demand they make it happen.

[ GUEST OP from page 5 ]
“A couple of weeks ago we tried to do that with the Communal Housing (ordinance), and it turned out that we decided not to put it on the fast track, and time worked for us. And we got input from another agency, which was very pleased that we took the time to reflect and take action.”
The vote was 6-0, Wales abstaining.
The façade project is a component of the Mainstreet Conceptual Design Project, and both are related to the larger Community Renewal Plan for Downtown Auburn. The recent action amends the financial component of the CRP to include the Downstore Storefront Improvement Project.
City staff developed the CRP to “provide pro-grams and approaches for addressing condi-tions of urban blight in downtown Auburn.”
Councilman Bill Peloza asked about one particularly tired area.
“Would the B Street Plaza be under this ‘blight?’” Peloza asked.
“The short answer is yes,” said Community
and Public Works Direc-tor Kevin Snyder, noting that the CRP covers Main Street, and the B Street Plaza and B Street Plaza parking lot are part of Main Street.
“I hope with some priority,” Peloza said of anticipated action.
“I think I speak at least for staff that we all feel that the B Street Plaza is in need of some serious refreshing, and we are looking at reprogram-ming of that space,” Snyder said.
The recommenda-tion to waive the second reading came from City staff.
“I am totally, totally in support of this (ordi-nance),” Wales said, “but I don’t see this as a situa-tion where it’s imperative that we move forward
and can’t wait another two weeks. I’m worried about our protocol and our rules of order and everything else.”
Snyder explained the recommendation.
“You raise a very good point. As staff, we do not like to rush things forward, but we are interested in launching the storefront façade im-provement project in the first part of June,” Snyder said. “Finance Director Shelley Coleman and City Attorney Dan Heid recently brought out that we needed to create a stronger relation with our current community renewal plan. That did come later in the process than we had hoped for; nevertheless, it’s an important and valuable thing we need to do.”
[ COUNCIL from page 1 ] HISTORIC BUILDINGS, one-of-a kind buildings, wonderful
family-owned and compelling businesses.Such abound in Auburn, which is why the City is awarding façade improvement grants to facilitate exterior building improvements for businesses within the designated Business Improvement Area during 2015 and 2016.Called the Downtown Façade Improvement Grant Program, the project aims to preserve and enhance the charm of the downtown commercial area through strategic physical improvements to build-ings. These property upgrades will improve the area’s overall visual appearance and hopefully, attract business, visitors and residents. The primary goal of the grants is to improve the appearance and feel of the City’s commercial, pedestrian-oriented core.To learn more, visit www.auburnwa.gov and search for façade improvement grants.

“For 50 years, Head Start has helped our country move closer to the goal of making sure every child in America has the opportu-nity to thrive and succeed,” Murray said. “I believe it’s one of the best investments we can make in our future.”
Murray toured the school, took in group read-ing and learning sessions and listened to music by performed by the Muckle-shoot Head Start children. She vows to remain com-mitted to the program and build off its success.
“I am going to continue to fight to invest in this program,” she said. “All of our young learners should have the opportunity to build their skills so they can learn, thrive and succeed, especially in a beautiful setting like this … so the culture and the language of the tribe can be shared with students at a very young age and keep Muckleshoot tradition alive for genera-tions to come.”
The tribe’s Head Start program began as a vol-unteer, community-driven preschool effort in the late-1950s. In 1965, with approximately 300 enrolled
members, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe received one of the first two federal Head Start grants for Native American Tribes, along with the Navajo Nation, which had approximately 100,000 enrolled members.
The program, which originated in the old GSA building in Auburn, initially served 30 children. Tribal parents were actively involved in teaching, and raising the required 25 percent, non-federal match. Parents were trained in the field of child development and have continued their involvement in tribal edu-cation programs to this day.
Today, the Muckleshoot Head Start Program serves 120 children ages 3 to 5 years.
The program includes Muckleshoot cultural and language education and provides services for special needs children. Over the course of the past 50 years, Muckleshoot Head Start has provided students with the skills and confidence to be ready to learn and succeed in their continuing education.
Now called the Muckle-shoot Early Learning Acad-emy (MELA), the program includes health, family services, support services, nutrition, transportation, and program management and administration compo-nents. By focusing on the
whole family, the program is better able to provide the tools for lifelong learning and success.
Federal Head Start re-views consistently score the MELA teaching team well above the national average. Additionally, MELA was one of only four out of 28 American Indian/Alaska Native grantees in the state to receive a five-year early learning grant. Moved by the program’s success, fed-eral reviewers have asked MELA to mentor other American Indian/Alaska Native Head Start programs to help them improve their scores.
“It means a lot. I remem-ber when it first came out,” said Auburn City Coun-cilmember Yolanda Trout,
who was on hand for the ceremony. “I think it’s very important for children to start at the foundation of their learning … for this to be introduced at this level. Head Start did a very good job and continues to do a good job. I’m excited to see it here.”

KEELY FRANCHINI, Miss Auburn’s Outstanding Teen 2015, was one of five semi-finalists chosen in the Miss Washington’s Outstanding Teen competition staged at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien last weekend. Abigail Dominguiano, Miss Great Peninsula’s Outstanding Teen, earned the title.
(BPT) - As the U.S. housing industry continues to emerge from the Great Recession, signs are pointing toward positive recovery. In fact, a recent report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University states that the home improvement industry could see record spending in 2015. It’s news like this that may have you contemplating an update to your house. Even if you plan to stay in your home for years to come, it’s important to consider which home remodeling projects offer the potential for a positive return on investment.
“Research shows that more homeowners intend to remain in their homes after remodeling, however, resale value is still a major factor when planning renovations,” says Susan Selle, chief marketing officer of exterior building products manufacturer Ply Gem Industries.
Before spending a significant amount of time and money on your next home improvement project, consider these tips.
Five home improvements with the highest ROI
The 2015 Remodeling Magazine Cost vs. Value report identifies these top five mid-range exterior home renovations as beneficial investments that allow homeowners to recoup a substantial percentage of their investment when they resell their homes:
• Replacing the front door (steel 101.8 percent)
• Adding manufactured stone veneer (92.2 percent)
• Replacing the garage door (88.4 percent)
• Replacing the siding (vinyl 80.7 percent)
• Adding a deck (wood 80.5 percent)
The cost-value ratio compares resale value to construction cost. The higher the percentage, the more of the job costs you are likely to recoup when selling your home.
“Homeowners want lasting value from their exterior renovation projects, so it’s important to select the best materials for the job upfront,” says Jerry Blais, senior vice president of marketing for Ply Gem Industries. “For example, when choosing siding for the home, vinyl siding provides overall better performance than wood, engineered wood and fiber cement
and requires less maintenance both in the short and long term, allowing homeowners to complete their renovation and enjoy it, hassle-free, for years. In addition, vinyl siding provides the styles, textures and stylish colors homeowners want to create beautiful curb appeal.”
Budgeting for success
Once you’ve decided which replacement and remodeling projects will offer the best ROI, develop a schedule and a budget to ensure the home makeover remains financially sound. The budget defines the project’s scope, estimates overall costs, and helps to establish priorities. Generally, renovation costs should not exceed 30 percent of your home’s value and should be consistent with housing trends in your neighborhood.
What should the budget include? Websites like www.plygem.com offer comprehensive advice for creating a renovation budget and sticking to it. To start, consider these likely-to-occur expenses:
• Contractor costs. These include labor and may incorporate employee benefits, professional fees,
permit and inspection charges and, of course, profit. Get at least three contractor estimates to ensure your contractor is cost-effective and reputable.
• DIY costs. Should you forgo a contractor? Keep in mind you will need to rent or buy power tools and equipment and potentially learn new skills.
• Hidden costs. For example, bringing outdated electrical or plumbing installations to code, or removing lead paint.
• Site preparation costs. For exterior renovations, this may include tree trimming, clearing land, and renting a haul-away container.
• Interim housing costs. If you plan to relocate, you will need living expenses for the project’s duration.
• Material cost. These include large expenses and small ones (ex. nails, trim) and could account for as much as half to 75 percent of the total cost. Factor in an extra 6-to-10 percent for waste for materials that are cut and fitted.
Bringing it homeIf you’re interested in near-term
resale value, it’s important to make sure that selling your home will at least recoup the cost of any completed projects. If you plan to stay in your home for many years, however, you’ll not only benefit from an improved resale value down the road, but you’re also more likely to appreciate the improved comfort and curb appeal in the meantime.

Tankless Water Heater InstallTODAY!
Ductless Mini-Split Cooling & Heating System InstallSave up to 40% off your water heating costs!
Written by David N. BrownOwner and President of Fox Plumbing & Heating
2014 was one of Seattle’s warmest summers on record, and 2015 is shaping up to be even hotter. Are you thinking that it might finally be time to start considering adding an air conditioning unit to your home? Maybe you should consider a ductless mini-split heat pump system instead?
Most home owners are aware that traditional AC systems need to have proper duct work installed to run efficiently. In older homes this can become very costly, very quickly. However, a ductless system is able to overcome this concern because there is no ductwork to be installed. A ductless system provides a home owner with one outdoor unit that can regulate areas of a home easily and seamlessly. These units provide comfort and save the home owner money in the process. With the
cost of utilities ever increasing, a ductless heat pump can help cut heating and cooling bills dramatically. And a ductless system doesn’t only cool your home, but it can also heat your home as well.
Other things to consider when purchasing a ductless system versus a traditional AC is that these units are much quieter in the homes, installation is much quicker, indoor air circulation will have less dust, and there are a number of incentives and rebates. Incentives from organizations such as www.goingductless.com can be up to $1,500.
“We install Ductless systems to customers across the Puget Sound, and everyone I’ve spoken with has told me how these units have greatly improved the comfort of their home and their lives.”
Bobby M., Heating and Cooling Manager at Fox Plumbing & Heating
Ductless Systems Can Heat and Cool Multiple Areas
Another advantage of a ductless mini-split air conditioner is their small size and flexibility for zoning, heating, or cooling to individual rooms. Home owners can even have dual zone ductless systems with multiple indoor units connected to one outdoor unit. Because each indoor unit has individual thermostats, only the area where someone is present needs to be conditioned, saving additional energy and money.
Why Ductless Systems Provide Better Home Security than Window Units
Even though window air conditioners can be Energy Star Rated and efficient in their own right, they are only a short term solution to the summer heat. While they are relatively inexpensive to purchase and install, window air conditioners mostly only serve a single room. Depending on how and when a home was built, running one unit doesn’t offer realistic
solutions. More often than not, one household will need several window units to keep all members of the family happy and the home temperate. To the professionals, this signals red flags, and the professionals also know that a ductless system is a better and safer way to cool a home. Window units usually have sliding accordion-like wings that help block out outside air and ensure the unit stays in place. That’s why thieves love window units! All it takes to break into a home is pushing the window unit into the home and thieves have a wide open, free admission ticket.
A ductless system runs a line set from the outdoor unit to the inside of the home. This line set cannot be kicked-in or used by thieves to access the home.
If you’re thinking that your home is getting unseasonably uncomfortable this summer, then consider adding a ductless system and turning a home into a comfortable castle. Remember to think out of the box and talk to the heating and cooling professionals at Fox Plumbing & Heating to see how they can give you the home comfort you deserve!

(StatePoint) You may not think a lot about your home’s outdoor spaces during the off-season, but in warm weather, your porch, deck, yard and patio are extensions of your living space -- and it’s important to maintain these areas to be in tip-top shape.
Here are some helpful tips to get these spaces summer-ready.
ORGANIZESet yourself up for a season of better gardening,
yardwork, tinkering and auto repair by organizing your shed or garage. You’ll be more inclined to do these necessary tasks when you know exactly where your tools are and you don’t have to search around in order to get started.
Do an inventory of your tools. Throw out rusty or broken items that are irreparable. Perform routine maintenance on equipment and tools. Then organize your equipment in a systematic way that makes the most sense for you, making use of vertical storage systems that take the best advantage of the space you have.
DEEP CLEANIt’s a tough world out there. Things get dirty,
messy and stained, and sometimes a garden hose, soap and elbow grease just aren’t enough -- especially after months of neglect. Enter the pressure washer, which can aggressively blast things clean with water jets pressurized up to75 times that of a garden hose; or gently spray with lower pressures for delicate cleaning.
Step up your cleaning of patio furniture, sidewalks and fencing with a light-duty pressure washer. For decks, patios, garage floors, siding and driveways, a medium-duty pressure washer can help save you time and energy on clean-up jobs. Just be sure to wear googles and closed-toed shoes when using a pressure washer, and never operate the machine in an enclosed area.
If you don’t already own a pressure washer and you’re looking to purchase one, be sure to get the right machine for your needs. Factors like how often you plan to use it and the type of projects you will use it for are key elements in the decision making process. Briggs & Stratton, a pressure washer manufacturer known for machines that start easily, run quietly and offer fuel efficiency, makes the selection process easy with a buying guide selector tool available online at www.briggsandstratton.com.
FRIENDLY SPACESReduce mosquitos by eliminating standing
water from the yard. For more comfortable cookouts, you may also want to add plants to your yard that repel these pests, such as citronella and marigolds.
Plant trees so you can look forward to shady spaces for future seasons. However, for the current season, use awnings or shade arbors to create a place where you can safely and happily spend the sunniest portion of your afternoons.
By performing a few key tasks, you can prime home’s outdoor spaces for a season of gardening, entertaining, relaxing and summer living.
Three Steps to Get Your Home’s Outdoor Spaces Summer-Ready
How style and function blend for ideal bathroom visibility
Whether you have a petite powder room or a grand master bath, there are four main types of lighting you should consider: ambient, task, accent and natural.
AMBIENT LIGHTING: Ambient lighting is the main source of illumination and is fundamental to a solid bathroom lighting plan. Also known as general lighting, ambient lights are typically installed overhead and provide lighting for safety and overall comfort.
TASK LIGHTING: Task lighting is absolutely necessary for daily grooming activities like putting on makeup and shaving. High-end mirrors like the Reception mirror from Robern feature built-in premium task lighting. With a sleek design and open storage, the mirror features fluorescent vertical task lighting at an ideal light value that simplifies grooming tasks.
ACCENT LIGHTING: These types of lights artistically highlight special objects, like paintings, plants, sculptures or architectural detailing. Accent lights are typically smaller and include a shield that allows you to direct the light on the desired object.
Natural lighting: Skylights allow sunlight in during daylight hours without jeopardizing any privacy, plus they can be installed with shades for optional closure if desired. Natural light from sources like skylights can be particularly inviting near the bathtub.

You Enjoy Your Summer,Let Us Do The Painting!
by Jeff Heiss Painting
Q. Should I wash my house before I paint?A. Absolutely. This is one of the most important steps. Even a house that appears clean, has a layer of dirt that needs to be washed off prior to painting.
Q. What is the best paint to use?A. Like many things, it depends. Most brands offer price based paint and quality paints. Dark colors fade faster with inexpensive paints and have much shorter warranty periods. Quality paints cover in fewer coats, last longer, splatter less and protect longer; and they’re color looks better longer.
Q. Should I use a sprayer or paint by hand?A. Spraying can be faster, though it can also cause a mess much faster if you’re unfamiliar with it’s use. It also requires quite a bit more masking to protect areas not being painted. If you spray, back-rolling while the paint is still wet helps achieve a uniform finish. Painting by hand is often more manageable for home owners doing they’re own painting.
Q. Do you recommend two coats or can I paint just one?A. Good question. We almost always paint two, unless the owner specifically requests one. It’s difficult to achieve full coverage in one coat. And the manufacturer may recommend a particular millage, or thickness of paint, for
their warranty, which may also be difficult to achieve with one coat.
Q. What are the hot colors these days?A. Of course you’ll see a variety of colors and since each home tends to be a reflection of the owner and such an individual choice. If you like it, then it’s probably the hot color.
Q. Do you have any suggestions for picking colors?A. Certainly. Many people find the perfect color by driving through neighborhoods looking at other houses. The paint store is a good place to start, as well. There are designers who provide color consults and are more affordable than you might think. Since painting is quite an investment of both time and money, take as much time as you need to get it right. Once you’ve narrowed your choice(s), it can be quite helpful to try samples.
Q. Any other suggestions before I begin painting my own house this summer?A. Be safe! Being up on ladders, roofs, chimneys, etc. is dangerous and people get hurt every year. Invest in proper ladders, making sure they’re properly rated for your weight, plus the weight of your equipment, that they’re on even ground and firmly placed against the house before climbing. You may even want to invest in a safety harness when up on the roof.
Good luck and happy painting.

(StatePoint) Giving your home’s exterior a fresh new look could also increase its value, if you choose your upgrades wisely. To get a great return on your investment, it’s all about picking the right projects.
Here are three ideas to boost your home’s curb appeal while investing wisely in what is likely your largest asset.
SIDINGSiding replacement offers a great
return on investment. In fact, you could recover over 80 percent of the cost, according to 2015 figures from Remodeling.com, which compares the cost of common home improvement projects with the value those projects retain at resale.
America`s largest replacement window and exterior remodel-ing company, Window World, has many vinyl siding options that offer color retention and resistance to moisture, keeping your siding looking great and lasting longer -- perfect for boosting curb appeal. Additionally, Window World’s insu-lated siding packages can improve your home’s energy efficiency and comfort, which can help in its future resale.
WINDOW REPLACEMENTWant to add architectural inter-
est to the outside of your home? Consider replacing your windows with stylish, well-crafted options that complement the style of your house.
Replacing your home’s windows is also a good financial expenditure -- recouping nearly 75 percent of the cost, according to the same Remodeling.com study. And it’s no wonder; new window designs provide innovative features, such as low maintenance, durability, simple operation and resistance to peeling, cracking and warping.
In addition to improving the look of your exterior, replacement windows help save money on your utility bills. For example, Window World offers windows backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal for seven consecutive years, and glass packages that are ENERGY STAR qualified with features like Low-E Glass. This element intelligently blocks heat gain from the sun’s rays in warm months, but allows for shorter solar rays into the house during the cold months -- a com-ponent future buyers will likely appreciate!
For more information about window and siding products, visit www.WindowWorld.com.
LANDSCAPINGDon’t let a beautiful home be
overshadowed by a dreary yard. Smart landscaping makes a great first impression, adding beauty and value to your home. Take into consideration the size, shape and color of your house. For year-round appeal, also think about the local climate. If you don’t have a green thumb or an eye for design, a landscaping contractor can help
you plan and execute this worth-while project.
Make upgrades to your home’s exterior wisely. Investigate op-
tions that will boost curb appeal, improve your lifestyle and offer a return on investment down the line.

(StatePoint) With so many choices abounding in home improvement stores and online, how do you know which is the right choice for you when select-ing a new entry door for your home?
These days, homeowners will likely be steered toward fiberglass or steel. While traditional wood is beautiful, newer materials are lower maintenance, and provide more durability, security and energy efficiency.
When various factors are considered, here’s how each stacks up:
BEAUTYFiberglass most closely mimics the defined grain
of authentic wood doors and comes in a number of textures like oak, cherry, mahogany and fir, as well as a variety of stain and paint colors. Options include decorative door glass and sidelites to improve curb appeal.
Steel entry doors are available in smooth or wood grain textures in multiple stains and paint finishes, and come in a variety of styles, including some with glass.
DURABILITYUnlike wood doors, fiberglass doors do not shrink,
warp, split, crack or delaminate, making them ideal for harsh or humid climates. Because they last so long,
many come with long warranties. For instance, ProVia doors come with a Lifetime Limited Warranty that guarantees doors through the entirety of the owner-ship of the home by the door purchaser, plus one subsequent homeowner.
Steel doors, particularly those made of 20-gauge steel like ProVia’s Legacy Steel line, won’t crack or warp and are the most durable on the market.
MAINTENANCEFiberglass offers the lowest maintenance, resisting
denting and scratching, and can be cleaned with mild soap and water.
Although generally low maintenance, if scratched through the galvanization layer, steel doors can rust if not properly primed and painted. Dents and dings can be pulled and puttied with an auto-body repair kit.
SECURITYThe solid construction of fiberglass entry doors pro-
vides significant security over wood doors. However, if you’re particularly concerned with home security, the strength of steel entry doors offer the best solu-tion.
ENERGY EFFICIENCYBoth fiberglass and steel door systems are engi-
neered to be highly energy efficient. For example, the polyurethane core, Q-Lon weatherstripping and ComforTech Warm Edge Glazing System in ProVia entry door systems work together to keep cold out in winter and heat out in summer.
Most of their doors are ENERGY STAR certified. In fact, the company is the only door manufacturer to have ever received any ENERGY STAR award for door manufacturing, winning the prestigious ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award for Door Manufacturing four times and the ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence award four times.
COSTFiberglass doors can be comparable in cost to
wood doors, depending on the model, glass options and hardware selected. However, fiberglass is a better financial bet in the long-term, offering longer durabil-ity and less maintenance.
While total cost can vary widely depending on style and options chosen, steel entry doors typically cost less than fiberglass, offering significant long-term value.
Before buying, consider your priorities -- whether its beauty, endurance or energy efficiency, opt for a door that best fits your needs.
How to Pick a New Door for Your Home
(BPT) - With the snow melted and the ground thawed, many eager homeowners and landscape professionals across the country will roll up their sleeves and reach for their garden shovels to start projects that require digging this spring.
During the transition into “digging season,” Common Ground Alliance (CGA), the association dedicated to protecting underground utilities and the people who dig near them, reminds homeowners and professional diggers that calling 811 is the first step toward protecting you and your community from the risk of unintentionally damaging an underground line.
Every digging project, no matter
how large or small, warrants a free call to 811. Installing a mailbox or fence, building a deck and landscaping are all examples of digging projects that
should only begin a few days after making a call to 811. Calling this number connects you to your local one-call utility notification center.
Nearly half of American homeowners say they do not plan to make a free call to 811 before digging, according to data collected by CGA
in late February. Extrapolated to the full population of U.S. homeowners, approximately 38.6 million people will dig this year without first calling 811.
A utility line is damaged every six minutes in America because someone decided to dig without making a
call to 811 to learn the approximate location of buried utilities in their area. Unintentionally striking one of these lines can result in inconvenient outages for entire neighborhoods, harm to yourself or your neighbors and repair costs.
As a result, CGA offers the following tips to make sure you complete your project safely and without any utility service interruptions, so you don’t become a statistic.
Here’s how the 811 process works:1. One free, simple phone call to 811
makes it easy for your local one-call center to notify all appropriate utility companies of your intent to dig. Call a few days prior to digging to ensure enough time for the approximate location of utility lines to be marked with flags or paint.
2. When you call 811, a representative from your local one-call center will ask for the location and description of your digging project.
3. Your local one-call center will notify affected utility companies, which will then send professional locators to the proposed dig site to mark the approximate location of your lines.
4. Only once all lines have been accurately marked, roll up those sleeves and carefully dig around the marked areas.
There are nearly 20 million miles of underground utility lines in the United States that your family depends on for everyday needs including electric, gas, water and sewer, cable TV, high-speed Internet and landline telephone, which equals more than a football field’s length of utilities for every person in the United States. With that much critical infrastructure underground, it’s important to know what’s below and call 811 before digging.
To find out more information about 811 or the one-call utility notification center in your area, visit www.call811.com.

V.I.C.E (Veterans In Construction Electrical) is a 560 hour classroom-based training program. Students spend the �rst two weeks of class honing their 21st Century essential skills, stress management and study skills, and later earn First Aid/CPR, Forklift, Scissor Lift and OSHA 30 certi�cations. In just 14 weeks students complete their �rst year of related supplemental instruction for the IBEW/NECA registered apprenticeship for Inside Wiremen. Most are dispatched to their �rst jobs within a couple of weeks after completing the V.I.C.E classroom program.
Veterans who complete the V.I.C.E program don’t have to �ght so hard for a job because the training prepares them well and is in demand by employers. V.I.C.E is an accelerated version of the �rst year of the registered apprenticeship training program operated by the Puget Sound Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (PSEJATC). Together, the JATC partners: the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 46, designed the V.I.C.E. program to give Veterans a jump-start in the electrical industry.
To be eligible for V.I.C.E, applicants must be 18 years old or older, have a valid driver’s license, high school diploma or GED, sealed high school transcript, honorable discharge within 7 years from application date, and proof of honorable discharge.
The Puget Sound Electrical JATC is an apprenticeship training program that is jointly sponsored by the Puget Sound Chapter, NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association) and IBEW Local 46 (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers).

Auburn Mountainview’s Zoe Collins delivers a pitch during recent action. The Lions are off to state.RACHEL CIAMPI, Auburn Reporter
REPORTER STAFF
Savanna Gusman drove in a pair of runs, leading Auburn Mountain-view past Central Kitsap 3-2 in West Central District 3A softball action at Sprinker Fields in Tacoma last Saturday.
The Lions (15-7-1) secured the district's No. 3 seed to state. They open against Meadowdale at 9 a.m. Friday at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey.
Against Central Kitsap, Zoe Collins tossed a three-hitter to earn the win from the circle. Marissa Petrovich and Em-ily Houck each had two hits and scored a run.
Auburn Mountainview advanced to the district semi-finals but dropped a 6-3 decision to Kelso. Lily Hope homered for the Lions.

Freshman Jakob Middlebrooks scored the decisive goal with two minutes left on the clock, lead-ing Auburn Riverside to a 3-2 win over Glacier Peak in a state Class 3A boys soccer quarterfinal playoff last Saturday at Snohomish Stadium.
The Ravens (16-4-1) play Interlake (13-2-1) at 2 p.m. Friday at Sparks Stadium in Puyallup.
It is Auburn Riverside’s first final four appearance since 2002 under coach Robyn Saarenas.
Ballard (15-2-1) plays Garfield (13-3-2) in the other semifinal at 4 p.m. Friday. The final kicks off at 2 p.m. next Saturday at Sparks.
Against the Grizzlies, the Ravens shot out to a 2-0 lead at halftime on goals by Jordan Loomans – on a Corey Brinkman assist – and Dale Galaviz.
Glacier Peak evened it up with goals by Riley Prescott and Alex Bergstrom on an assist by Cage Roberge.
“You’re never safe with a 2-0 lead,” Saarenas told the Everett Herald. “They put on the pressure after halftime, and we expected it. We just didn’t manage it very well. But one thing we’ve always known for this year is we’ve never gotten flustered when things don’t
go our way. “Today we kept our heads
level and showed a lot of heart at the end of the game. I think we turned it back on again when we realized we still had time left and the game wasn’t over.”
ElsewhereAuburn Mountainview had
no answer for Garfield’s airtight defense last Saturday, falling 3-0
in a state 3A quarterfinal playoff at Interbay Stadium in Seattle.
Roko Bedalov had a goal and an assist for the Bulldogs (13-3-2). Tommy Renehan and Toby Stansell also scored, with Rainier Schlekewe adding an assist.
Goalkeeper Sten Tolgu earned the shutout.
The Lions finished the season 10-5-1.

Ravens’ season comes to an end
Lynnwood’s Jared Whitman hurled a four-hitter, leading the Royals to a 4-1 win over Auburn Riverside in the first round of the state 3A baseball tournament at Dream Field in Mount Ver-non last Saturday.
The Royals (18-6) scored two runs in the top of the first inning and two more in the third, finishing the game with five hits and two errors.
Auburn Riverside (9-15) scored its lone run in the fourth.
Ravens senior ace Noah Freelund threw a complete game. Au-burn Riverside senior Aaron Nguyen had a double.
Lynnwood lost to Bainbridge 3-0 in a quarterfinal later Saturday.
FOR THE REPORTER
Emerald Downs has hired 22-year-old Matt Dinerman as track an-nouncer through the re-mainder of the 2015 season.
A native of San Diego, Dinerman replaces long-time announcer Robert Geller, who will succeed Dan Loiselle as the an-nouncer at Woodbine in Toronto. Geller’s final day at Emerald Downs is Sunday, June 7.
Dinerman was so out-standing calling two races
recently at Emerald Downs that afterward track President Phil Ziegler officially offered the fledgling announcer the posi-tion.
“We consider Matt Dinerman to be a very talented young man,” Ziegler said. “He has a great aptitude for announcing races, and
he figures to get even better with experience. It’s great to have him on board.”
Dinerman begins his duties this week, observing and work-ing with Geller until
taking over full-time Friday, June 12.
“Emerald Downs staff, horsemen and fans are all
extremely enthusiastic about their racing, and I am beyond thrilled to be joining their team this summer,” Dinerman said. “I am extremely excited to get started.”
The timing is perfect for Dinerman, who recently graduated from Chap-man University in Orange,
Calif. Born July 13, 1992, he grew up attending the races at Del Mar, spent four summers walking hots for trainer John Sadler, and another two as part of the Del Mar publicity team.
Emerald Downs’ 70-day meeting runs through Sun-day, Sept. 27.

Bridge tourney celebrates its 44th year FOR THE REPORTER
A field of 48 bridge players recently celebrated the 44 years members and friends of Auburn’s Dr. F.D. Merritt Guild have com-peted to raise money for Seattle Children’s Hospital.
The luncheon celebra-tion was at the Rio Verde Clubhouse on May 14. This year’s tournament raised more than $2,000.
“Of course, in 1971 it was Children’s Orthopedic Hos-pital,” said Fran Calkins, one of several players who has participated in every one of the tournaments for 44 years. “We are a small group of mostly old ladies who work hard to make children live better lives.”
Calkins is a winner of the Anna Clise Award, the highest honor given to a guild member for their volunteer work.
While the tournament is its major fundraiser, the guild also posts Purchase a Miracle tags at local grocery stores, sells calendars and brooms and supports the Kent Thrifty Boutique, where Calkins vol-unteers every Wednesday.
The guild, founded in 1948, has one charter mem-ber, Ruth Leslie, 97, who played in the tournament every year until her eyesight made it impossible.
“We may be small, but no guild is more dedicated,” said Guild President Debbie McGuire.
Fran Calkins has played in the Dr. F.D. Merritt Guild bridge marathon for all 44 years. She is a former winner of the Anna Clise Award, the highest honor Seattle Children’s Hospital gives to a volunteer. COURTESY PHOTO
Auburn hosts 124th birthday party June 5FOR THE REPORTER
Auburn celebrates its 124th birthday on June 5, with festivities running from 5 to 8 p.m. at City Hall, 25 W. Main St., in historic downtown.
The Auburn Downtown As-sociation (ADA) and the City of Auburn host the third annual celebration.
This spring’s program celebrates the history of Auburn schools, with high school bands and choirs performing throughout the eve-ning. Attendees can vote for their favorite band or choir by donating to the collection containers. The
school earning the most dona-tions wins, with all funds benefit-ting the Auburn Food Bank.
Organizers are asking attendees to bring or wear their high school letterman’s jacket to the party to pay tribute to the Rottles family, who will be closing its store after 75 years. A large group photo shoot is planned.
“We couldn’t celebrate the his-
tory of Auburn schools without also celebrating Rottles, where we all got our letterman jackets and then later for our kids and grand-kids,” said Mayor Nancy Backus.
Festivities include music and refreshments. The Kiwanis Club of the Valley will have hot dogs and root beer floats for sale. A no-host beer and wine garden will of-fer local craft beers, with proceeds
going to the food bank.Party goers will have the oppor-
tunity to visit the Trek Apartment building. The Valley Regional Fire Authority, the Auburn Police Department, Junior City Council, and Green River College will have booths.
