Wanda, it is probably a long shot, but I think your best chance to find someone who served with him will be through a unit vet association.
I found this contact listed in an online association database:
537th AAA AW Bn
Mr. Alan Comett
PO Box 730
South Hill,VA23970-0730
(800) 416-9090
Other info found online indicates the 537th was attached for a significant period of time to the 90th Infantry Division. You might investigate the division assn website:
(A quick search in the "Forum" section at this web site revealed at least a couple of posts which referred to the 537th.)
Good luck.

Know when not to tip
Be sure to research your destination: In some counties (like Japan, China, South Korea and French Polynesia), staff may be offended when offered a tip because excellent service is an expected part of their culture. "If you do offer—say to staff at a Japanese ryoken, taxi driver or tour guide—be sure to place the bills in a card or envelope and use two hands and a bow or nod (depending on the culture) to present it," says Glenn. Always ask, "May I present you a tip in appreciation for your service?" while looking down, rather than just handing it to them. Be discreet, humble and do not press if they refuse. Even when in Canada, it's sometimes confusing as when to tip and when not to tip. "Tipping in French Polynesia is almost considered to be rude and making the people feel lower than you," says Dan Boland, an international airline pilot. Even tipping for great service is frowned upon. If in doubt, just don't do it.
Read on to find out how these travel blunders can actually be the highlight of your next trip.

Essentials to keep your home sweet smelling
To make the home sweet smelling we often use many fragrances which may be natural or may be bought from super markets. These are essential because we focus on decorating our home, but forget to keep it pleasant smelling. When guests come over this might cause you a lot of embarrassment. Hence special care should be taken to keep your house sweet smelling. Nice smell also makes mood of the family members better and made them feel good.
There are quite a number of ways to make your home pleasant smelling. First, let natural air in all the time. Do not let your home be damp. Keep aromatic candles, potpourri etc to hike up the pleasant smell. You can also use room fresheners, incenses etc. Keeping your air condition clean is also a great way to steer clear of bad smells. Thus be the envy of the neighborhood and have the most pleasant smelling home.

The Day a Tattooist Fell Into My Lap
My life is peppered with coincidences. Heavily peppered. My friends remark on it. My husband isn't even surprised anymore at the things that happen to me.
One story of a thousand:
A few years ago, I was sitting in a coffee shop re-reading The Great Gatsby and realizing I had a problem–a writer's problem. At that time, I was writing a novel set in a tattoo shop in the early 1980s, and although I'd done quite a bit of research and interviewed several tattooists, I was starting to see that I needed to take it a step further.
It was Fitzgerald, schooling me yet again. He was so steeped in that world of lavish 1920s parties that any time he needed to conjure it on the page, he could easily call up a horde of telling details. If I ever hoped to do justice to this tattoo novel, I thought, I needed to know '80s tattoo shops like Fitzgerald knew '20s parties: the sounds and smells, the feel in the hand of a certain object.
In short, I needed more than interviews and books. I needed a tattoo shop where I could just hang out and absorb with my five senses.
But I was the first-time mother of an infant, and a full-time grad student, and therefore exhausted. Even my few hours of reading/writing in this coffee shop were scraped together and precious. I had neither the energy nor the time to wander around researching local tattoo studios and making friends with their owners.
Alas, I thought, or more likely Aaargh, or something like that, and opened up Gatsby again.
I am not sure Aaargh counts as a prayer, except for what happened next. Within the hour, my reading was interrupted by a man's voice. He said:
"Did Eric Ziobrowski do that?"
I looked up to see an abundantly inked man pointing at my arm. I have an olive branch tattooed there, and it was indeed done by Eric Ziobrowski.
"How did you know that?" I said.
"We know each other," the man said. "I'm Marc Goldfaber. I own Top Hat Tattoo in Rocky Point"–the next town over.
Marc and I got to talking. It turned out he also had an infant son. I told him about my writerly problem and he said I was welcome to stop by.
A few minutes later he came back with his business card and said, "By the way, I've got a guy working for me named Marvin Moskowitz who you might want to talk to." Marvin is a third-generation tattooist whose forbears worked on the Bowery and later opened one of the first tattoo studios on Long Island. He had been tattooing for decades and knew what the world of an early-1980s tattoo shop was like–the equipment, the styles, the procedures. (Hygenic practices in tattoo shops were quite different before the AIDS epidemic.)
I still think of this as
The Day God Dropped a Tattooist in My Lap.
After that encounter, I started making coffee shop runs for the guys at Top Hat. I would call up to see what they wanted, pick up their coffee, and bring it back to the tattoo shop. Then I'd watch them work and listen to Marvin's stories. The imaginary tattoo shop in my novel looks and feels the way it does because of what they showed me, told me.

Are coincidences cosmically arranged, or do we just notice and seize on them? Is their meaning intrinsic or assigned by us?
I imagine my church friends saying "Of course God arranges them" and my nonreligious friends saying "Really? I can think of some refugee children who could use a good Providential coincidence."
Me–I waffle. My heart groans Yes, yes. I want there to be a master Storyteller; I live as if there is one–
–and yet, on the other hand, the human brain has a marvelous aptitude for pattern-catching and meaning-making.
One of my son's first words was moon, and once he could say moon, he noticed the moon everywhere–not just in the sky but on grocery store signs, and picture books, and scraps of paper that completely escaped my notice.
And haven't you had that experience where you take note of an unusual word, and then you suddenly see it everywhere–in every magazine article, on every billboard? (Here, I'll do it to you right now: Somnambulist. Somnambulist. Somnambulist. Now, I predict, your week will be full of sleepwalkers.)
But maybe it's not an either-or. Maybe our noticing itself, our evolved aptitude for pattern-catching, is a divine gift.
For example: I often see rainbows at the very moments I most need a touch of peace, but I am not silly enough to think that these meteorological circumstances were arranged just for me. Surely if God exists, God also works within us–to awaken our eyes to what's already there–to run a highlighter over the encyclopedia of the world, and point out the bits that most need our attention.
Maybe this whole question of "is it or isn't it" is a red herring, spiritually speaking. Maybe the real spiritual fork-in-the-road is the choice to notice in the first place–to let our eyes follow the highlighter–and to act on what we notice. When a tattooist falls into our laps, to follow up, ask the right questions, and bring coffee. When refugee children come to our attention, to do what we can.
(All this aside, though: What do I make of the fact that the tattooist got my attention? I had my nose in a book.)
* * *
Something happened this morning which brought all this to mind.
I've got that new-mama exhaustion again. My once-infant son is now four years old and I have a brand-new infant son. I also have a new job as the Arts Director at True North Community Church. This job, like motherhood, is a labor of deep love, which means it draws on my brainpower and heartfuel and soulstrength. And stop snickering, I'll make up twelve more silly words if I want to, I said I'm tired.
Anyway. When it comes to my writing, I find myself thinking a lot of Aaargh thoughts that may or may not count as prayer. How will I ever get an agent for this book? How will I ever find the time to write a new book? I'm so tired I could cry. (Sometimes I do cry.) Aaargh, aaargh.
This morning I had a bit of a taxing morning at work, and my family and I were driving home. We were maybe ten miles from our house, and I noticed a blue truck in front of us with the plates TOPHAT51. "Is that–?" I said.
We pulled up alongside. Top Hat Tattoo logo on the passenger door. There was Marc, driving with his four-year-old son.
It made me think of that day I Aaarghed for help at a coffee shop and it appeared.
The next stoplight was conveniently red. We had a quick chat/yell. It cheered me to see him.
* * *
Maybe Aaargh does count as prayer. Maybe trucks count as answers. It's good to be reminded of my own stories sometimes.

Explore the most popular regions in Austria with hand-curated trail maps and driving directions as well as detailed reviews and photos from hikers, campers and nature lovers like you.
Short but challenging hike that was really accessible from the city! Beautiful views, especially from the top.
It was a nice hike, especially through the gorge. About 1/3 of the hike is on a wide forest road, 2/3 on a well marked pathway. The information desk in Scharnitz was very helpful and provide free maps and recommendations for the hike.
This is one of the best hikes I've been on. There is a cable car to the peak, but I strongly suggest completing the hike. It is steep, but well marked. You'll start in Hungerberg and walk through a forested area for awhile. Afterwards you'll enter into a more rocky/mountainous area that takes you to the top. The views at the top are well worth the work.
Short but challenging, rewarding and well maintained. Hike directly up the mountain. What a view!
Very interesting.
Nothing special. Good view on top only...
We walked more than this trail- and it was so rewarding!
From Mirabellplatz bus stop we took Bus 150 to he Volksschule Gnigl stop. From there we walked through the park, took a left on the street Eichstrabe, and continued up the steps about 100 meters down the street on the right. What followed was a steep, incredibly rewarding hike through the forest (follow the signs for Gaisburg). Bring lots of water! You can also take the bus back down from the top. Check the poster at the bus stop at the summit to check the bus times (they're usually about an hour apart). Enjoy the wildflowers, a beautiful view, and a good workout!
7 of us walked from Salzburg to the trail head and made the journey up the mountain! Cloud cover made the views a little underwhelming, but the hike itself was extremely enjoyable. There was a long section through a riverbed with small wooden stairs and river crossings that were a lot of fun. Take your time and enjoy the beautiful forest!

It's amazing what a little creativity can do. Check out what this clever Imgur user made using some scrap wood and a special glow resin.
He started with a cracked, knotted piece of chestnut wood, picked up cheap at the timber yard.
All the cracks and holes were sealed using aluminum tape.
It had to be set somewhere nice and level, or else the resin wouldn't set properly.
Time to mix.
He added a bag of blue, glow-in-the-dark pigment.
Once the resin was mixed up, it was left to stand for a bit so that any air bubbles from mixing could rise up and bubble out.
The big crack was filled with resin.
As was another large crack at the edge. He also created a little reservoir at the end of it.
Here's what it looked like once the resin was fully hardened.
Time to sand everything down nice and even.
That magic moment where oil is applied and the wood grain comes to life. It took a total of eight coats of oil to get everything to look perfect.
The plank was then sectioned off and chopped up to become shelves.
Naturally, every shelf needs brackets.
Spare pieces of polished walnut were also used for some brackets.
Here's the shelf in daylight.
The glow resin really comes to life later on in the day as it gets darker.
This piece was used as the top shelf so that this resin shape could be seen in everyday use.
The robot on the wall seems to like this decision.
A final view of the full, finished shelf.

Hello Olympia School District families,
It is hard to believe that we are reaching the end of the 2017-18 school year. As I complete my first year in the district, I want to again express my appreciation to all of the families, staff and community members for your warm welcome this year, but more importantly, for your unwavering support to our students in the Olympia School District. As expectations have increased and technology continues to "flatten the earth," the impressive Class of 2018 leaves us equipped with perhaps a stronger academic foundation and deeper understanding of the world than any group that has proceeded them. A tradition I've discovered this year in Olympia is that our seniors make a point of visiting their former elementary schools in their caps and gowns to thank their former teachers and staff. What a wonderful ritual to recognize the collective effort of our community to launch our graduates to their next stage of life. And speaking of elementary schools, this year's kindergartners will be the Class of 2030. I can't help but wonder what they will be achieving and creating when they walk across the stage 12 years from now.
Related to that future wondering, you may recall from previous messages that we have a five-year Strategic Plan that expires this school year. As such, we have been engaging our community in a vigorous and healthy process and conversation through surveys and a recently completed Educational Summit to help flesh out the long-term strategic direction for our district based on shared values and agreed upon student outcomes.
We had thousands of responses to our budget and pre-Summit surveys that helped inform the two-day Educational Summit. More than 130 people filled the banquet room at the Hotel RL in Olympia at the end of May. In addition to 40 students, who were the largest represented group in the room, there were family members, teachers, principals, custodians, bus drivers, other support staff, and community members from many backgrounds. Our school board set goals last summer to focus this year on four major themes: equity, early learning, mental health, and closing opportunity and achievement gaps. While Olympia is a very high performing school district by most traditional metrics, we know that there are troublesome gaps that consistently impact certain demographic groups of students in our system — students of color, students receiving special services and students impacted by poverty. We also know that stress and anxiety is overwhelming many of our students and families and impacting the ability to learn. We know the incredible importance of preschool and of a solid foundation in the early years of learning, and yet too many of our students, especially those in poverty, are underserved in this area.
Because of this, the Summit invite list was intentionally weighted to bring people together that had experience, expertise and ideas related to these key focus areas. There were two days of fruitful and powerful conversations which produced much information for the board to consider. This summer the board will use this data and other information in the drafting of student outcomes to drive the measures for determining school district performance and the creation of the new Strategic Plan. While there were dozens of ideas and areas of focus that came out of the summit, participants narrowed key focus areas to the following:
To learn more about the Educational Summit, including details related to these big ideas, results of a pre-Summit survey, photos from the event and other relevant data, visit a new Strategic Planning webpage on the school district website. The school board will have an opportunity to expand upon its own takeaways from the Summit at an upcoming study session on July 2 and at its summer board retreat in mid-July. It is during the retreat that the board is expected to create a draft of student outcomes to drive the goals of our new Strategic Plan. The community will have a chance to review these student outcomes and submit additional input this fall, but the board appreciates input at any time. Stay tuned for more information.
Thank you all, once again, for a great 2017-18 school year. I wish you and your family a restful, joyful and relaxing summer break.
It was a late August morning, shortly after dawn, when their lives were forever changed.
Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Gulf Coast of the United States just after 6 a.m. on August 29, 2005 packing sustained winds of up to 140 miles per hour. When the storm surge arrived several hours later, it overwhelmed many of the city's levees and drainage canals. Levee breaches and collapsed floodwalls created violent currents and catastrophic flooding that washed away many homes and stranded residents on the rooftops of others.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama fled their homes for refuge before the hurricane made landfall, and others who stayed behind retreated to local emergency shelters in hard-hit areas like New Orleans. They formed long lines for a meal and a cot to lay their head on at places like the Louisiana Superdome.
Though about half of the city lies above sea level, its average elevation is about six feet below sea level and is completely surrounded by water. Hurricane Katrina showed no mercy, plunging nearly 80 percent of the city under some level of water. Some of the worst flooding in New Orleans occurred in low-lying places like St. Bernard Parish and the Ninth Ward, where many of the evacuees lost all but the belongings they carried with them to higher ground.
After nearly 13 years of rebuilding efforts, many people who fled areas pummeled by Katrina have returned home and are making great strides at returning to life as they knew it in cities steeped in history and pride. Communities reduced to rubble have been replaced with homes and neighborhoods filled with children playing in yards and attending local schools.
Yet even with all of the progress, signs of destruction, such as concrete steps that once led to a family's home but now stand oddly alone on a vacant lot, are reminders there is still work to do.
The rebuilding effort continues today by volunteer organizations and individuals from throughout the country who are donating their time to make homes in the Gulf Coast habitable again.
Olympia High School students are among those who have responded to the calls for help.
For each of the past four years, about 30 Olympia High School students have spent their weeklong spring break helping to rebuild and repair homes in New Orleans.
The annual trips are coordinated by Shirts Across America, one of many non-profit organizations across the country working to restore areas still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Katrina. The Seattle-based group partners with national organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and with groups based in New Orleans, like the St. Bernard Project.
Shirts Across America Founder and Executive Director Randy Novak said it is the passion and generosity of people like Olympia High School students that are making a difference in the success of the rebuilding work. Since its founding in 2008, Shirts Across America has sent more than 2,700 volunteers to New Orleans and Mississippi and worked on more than 150 homes or projects in the Gulf Coast region.
"Young adults today want to be part of the solution and know they are making a difference," Novak said.
Students and adult chaperones, including parents and high school staff, pay approximately $1,300 each to cover the cost of airfare, lodging and meals for the week; however, scholarships and fundraising opportunities make the trip possible for any student with a desire to serve.
During their first visit to New Orleans in 2015, the Olympia High School group was made up largely of students in the Students Together Advocating Non-Violence and Diversity (STAND) campus club. The student group has been especially active over the years on issues related to social justice. As word about the project has spread, so has participation from throughout the school.
Graduating senior Alice Tammetta went to New Orleans all four years of high school and called it "life-changing." She and her classmates learned a variety of homebuilding and repair skills including caulking, sawing, painting and drywall mudding, as well as how to install insulation.
"I remember getting covered in mudding, which was crusted over by the end of the day in my hair and fingernails," Tammetta said. Mudding involves spreading a paste with a spatula into cracks or flaws in a wall, which are then sanded and smoothed.
During tours of the city, Tammetta said the reality and gravity of the hurricane destruction hit home. She recalled seeing blue posts in the lower Ninth Ward that marked the water levels during the 2005 storm surge. In some places, water levels exceeded 25 feet above sea level.
"I would do anything to help these people," the teen said. "They are completely innocent in this situation. They had their homes taken away from them. It's unimaginable. They are so resilient and grateful, and that makes me even happier knowing I am helping them."
While on job sites, and often in conversations with neighbors, students heard heart-wrenching stories about how some residents fell victim to scammers who billed themselves as contractors, only to take the homeowner's money and disappear without completing any repairs.
Sarah Gindy, who graduated in June, spent three of her high school spring breaks in New Orleans. One of those years, she was assigned as a Core Team Student Leader. On the trips, students are broken up into teams of five to seven people. Each team has a Core Team Student Leader, an Adult Team Lead, and three to four student volunteers. Student leaders plan events, recruit other students to go on the trip, plan community service opportunities and develop leadership skills.
"My first year we helped rebuild a house that was destroyed," Gindy said. "The contractor that a woman had paid had taken the money and run. It was a single mother of two children, one in college and one an infant. She was in a really tough situation, and it felt good to help get her back on her feet."
Asked about the most memorable moments of the two trips he has taken to New Orleans, graduating senior Imani Mabwa-Childress paused for a moment, searched for an answer and said, "there is so much." He shared how on one visit he helped prepare food for boxed lunches to serve to students in the public school system. On another visit, he recalled helping with a house rebuild by cutting siding and installing a new roof. "It's cool to see how much progress was made on a house to help someone out with their troubles after the hurricane," he said.
After a long day at the work sites, Shirts Across America makes sure time is set aside for students and their chaperones to experience the history and richness of the New Orleans culture.
There are opportunities to eat traditional New Orleans food such as Po-Boys (overstuffed sandwiches served on French bread), jambalaya, crawfish, and beignets; listen and dance to authentic jazz music; attend a Sunday church service; visit the French Quarter; and tour a former sugar plantation.
On the Whitney Plantation, students gain a unique perspective on the lives of Louisiana's enslaved people on an 1830s sugar plantation through museum exhibits, memorial artwork, restored buildings and hundreds of first-person slave narratives.
"You learn about slavery in class, but it's a whole different experience when you go there — it was really moving," said Olivia Senna. The teen will be an Olympia High School senior this fall and is already planning to return next Spring.
Graduating senior Emi Grant added, "The Whitney Plantation is a really insightful experience, and really hard. It focuses on children who were enslaved. It takes the words in history books right off the page."
Cam Coleman, a former site supervisor with the St. Bernard Project and longtime New Orleans resident, knows the value of the students' volunteerism. He grew up in New Orleans and was 12 years old when Hurricane Katrina ravaged his city. His mother brought the family to Texas, where they lived for close to a year before moving back to their rebuilt home.
"I had the opportunity to go home after the flood waters had receded, and it was completely devastating," he said. "When I went inside our home, I saw that the water had lifted the fridge and it was laying horizontally on our counter. I touched the TV and it crumbled … the water had destroyed my home and my city."
Coleman eventually became a site supervisor with the St. Bernard Project non-profit as a way to give back to his community. He helped teach volunteers, including Olympia High School students, how to use tools safely — a job that later landed him a job with a power tool company in California.
"I would like to commend everyone, especially those from Olympia High School, for putting in their hands to help the city," he said.
Olympia High School Principal Matt Grant, who has chaperoned three of the four trips to New Orleans, said there is a noticeable change among many students after they return from the experience.
"I have seen students who want to take more action in their own community and get more involved with social justice issues. They also become more interested in thinking about race and class issues that are occurring today. I see students who want to make a difference in their community as a result."
Olympia High Class of 2016 graduate Amber Crabb, among several who helped organize the school's inaugural trip to New Orleans in 2015, was so moved by her experiences that she decided to spend her first year of college at Loyola University in Louisiana. "After I went on two trips there, I really fell in love with the city," she said. "I loved the volunteer work and wanted to continue to be a part of that."
Crabb continued to help build houses during her first year of college. She moved back to Washington last year after changing her major to environmental policy and being accepted at Western Washington University. She has continued to volunteer in the community, focusing on environmental restoration efforts.
"I am so proud of the people I worked with at Oly in getting the whole thing off the ground," she said. "There is so much drive and ambition among Olympia High School students."
Just like the New Orleans residents whose lives were forever changed on that late August day in 2005, so too has the volunteer rebuilding work changed the lives of Olympia High School students who have helped bring them home.
The Olympia School Board unanimously agreed on June 11 to declare June 2018 as Pride Month.
In the two-page resolution, the school board declares its support for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) students, families and staff.
The resolution also contains historical milestones in LGBTQ+ history, mentions current statistical information, and concludes by encouraging support for LGBTQ+ in our schools.

Each year the school division of the Washington Library Association accepts nominations for books to receive The Sasquatch Award and The Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award. All students in Washington are encouraged to read the books and then vote for their favorite.
While many elementary schools in the district are encouraged to read the books and participate in the statewide voting process, Mary Pong, teacher-librarian at Madison Elementary, took this a step further and organized Battle of the Books events using the award-nominated books.
Pong created questions from the books and held three different Battle of the Books events; one day for grades 4 and 5, and two different days for grades K-3. Each team was divided into smaller groups, in which students used a white board to write the answer and then hold it up when a question was asked. This creative teacher-librarian noted the excitement building leading up to the contest.
Parent volunteers who helped with scoring and timing enjoyed seeing the students' enthusiasm as they collaborated to decide on the best answer for their group. Pong said to her surprise, even more students checked out the books after the contest because of the newly spurred interest.
Thank you, Mary Pong, for finding creative ways to engage students and facilitating a love of reading.
We are pleased to share our Annual Report, featuring highlights of the past year from throughout the Olympia School District.
In this report, you will read about student and staff achievements, goals set by the Olympia School Board, school bond construction updates, and how we are using the resources our community has entrusted to us to support student achievement.
Read 2018 OSD Annual Report
Twin Star Credit Union CEO Jeff Kennedy received applause and words of thanks after presenting a $15,520 check to the Olympia School District (OSD) at the May 21 board meeting. The donation, made on behalf of the Twin Star Community Foundation, eliminates all current accumulated lunch debt at elementary schools in the district.
Kennedy explained that a recent food shaming incident in the Seattle area greatly impacted the members of the Foundation. He said a student tried to get a hot lunch, but because there was an outstanding balance on his account, the school cafeteria staff took his food away from him and gave him a cold cheese sandwich.
Prior to hearing about the incident, the Foundation focused on awarding college and continuing education scholarships and funding its classroom cash program for teachers.
Kennedy explained to the board that this year the Foundation decided to change its mission from strictly scholarships to really look at how they could impact the community. As a group, they believe that well-fed children have well-fed minds.
"Children in elementary school particularly shouldn't have to be worrying about where their next meal is coming from or actually go to school hungry because we think that impacts their learning," said Kennedy.
In the OSD, kitchen staff serve meals "whether students have lunch funds or not because children need healthy meals to learn," said Child Nutrition Services Supervisor Paul Flock. Flock added, "We're touched by the generous giving that has helped pay for these school meals so the debt doesn't follow the student through the years; it's amazing to see this outpouring of generosity that makes a positive difference in our community."
Thank you Twin Star Community Foundation. This generous gift will help the most vulnerable of our students here in the Olympia School District.
Where can you sample organic Kombucha, local-made goat cheese and wood-fired pizza all while learning more about local businesses and revving up a Harley Davidson? Capital High School's Annual Trade Show, of course!
The Trade Show, held each May, is hosted by Capital's Marketing program. Under the direction of IB Marketing Teacher Brenda Grabski, Introduction to Marketing students partner with local businesses to create a promotional plan resulting in a trade show booth and presentations. Students in the upper level Advanced Marketing class organize the event and mentor and support Introduction to Marketing students as they work on their projects and plans.
This year students represented more than 35 businesses as fellow students, school staff, friends and family members visited their booths. Students set up and manned interactive booths, offered product samples, handed out promotional materials, and energetically described the services or products their represented business provides.
The trade show is a real-world activity in which students develop relationships with local businesses while applying concepts they learned in class. During the several month project, students develop professional communication, planning and presentation skills — all designed to help prepare students for the "real world."
Charo Garcia de Portaro, Director of Education with Centro Integral Educativo Latino de Olympia (CIELO), has been recognized with this year's Washington Association of School Administrators Community Leadership Award for her outstanding contributions to education.
Olympia School District Superintendent Patrick Murphy shared a few words about Portaro and presented her with a certificate during an awards ceremony on May 23. Other regional award winners also received certificates and praise during "An Evening of Celebration" at the Capital Region Educational Service District 113 administrative office in Tumwater.
In his remarks, Murphy thanked Portaro and CIELO for being a key partner in education with the Olympia School District. "CIELO connects with new families to help them enroll and navigate our school system and offers parent education workshops and classes, preschool activities, and one-on-one K-12 homework tutoring," Murphy said. The organization offers adult classes such as English, preparing for a General Education Diploma (GED) exam, sewing and computer skills.
CIELO has also partnered with OSD the past three years to host "Hispanic Night," featuring district and community resources. Additionally, Portaro and CIELO Bilingual Educational Assistant Kindra Galan served this year on the school district's Educational Summit Planning Committee. They were among more than 130 students, educators, families and community members that attended a two-day Educational Summit in May 2018.
"Her can-do attitude is infectious, and we appreciate her passion for helping students and families succeed," Murphy said.
Throughout its history, the Washington Association of School Administrators (WASA) has been involved in honoring and recognizing outstanding educational administrators and those individuals in other professions who have made extraordinary contributions to K–12 education.
The WASA Community Leadership Award is presented annually to a community member or group in recognition of their outstanding contributions to education. Specific criteria include:
Congratulations, Charo, and thank you for all that you do for the Olympia School District!
The fifth installment of the Olympia High School (OHS) Literary Magazine, Petrichor, delights readers with the creative talent and artistic vision of more than 150 works of student writing and art.
Creative Writing teacher Carolyn Gilman initiated the publication five years ago to celebrate and publish works written by her classes. Since then, the annual project has grown into a literary magazine club with more than 40 members. The club reads submissions, decides what to publish, pairs writing with artwork and arranges them for publication in the annual magazine.
An Olympia School District Education Foundation (OSDEF) creative projects grant and a generous donation from Gorham Printing helps defray printing costs. The club also raises funds by selling the magazines at the annual OHS Bearzaar and at Artswalk in downtown Olympia.
This year more than 500 works of writing and art were submitted for consideration. Art teacher Josh Everson promoted submissions for the project, specifically black and white pieces, among his art classes. The cover art and title were selected through popular vote in a student contest. Lucian Vogel, long-time member of the club and a "prolific writer" according to Gilman, suggested this year's title. Petrichor is defined as "a distinctive scent, usually described as earthy, pleasant or sweet, produced by rainfall on a very dry ground."
On June 1, club members gathered for "book release party" where each student received a copy of Petrichor while enjoying pizza and reflecting on the final product. Copies of Petrichor are available for $10 each in the high school ASB office.
Olympia Parks and Recreation will facilitate the USDA Free lunch program this summer at both Garfield and Madison elementary schools. Lunches are free for children 18 and under. Lunches will be served from noon to 12:30 p.m. from June 25 – August 17 (except July 4).
Garfield will be a hot lunch site, while Madison will be a cold sack lunch site. No registration is necessary.
Every day following lunch, kids 6-12 are invited to participate in the Summer Kids in Parks Program (SKIPP). This is a supervised, drop-in playground program. For additional information, view the Olympia Parks and Recreation SKIPP and Summer Lunch Program webpage.
The Olympia School District Board of Directors welcomed two new student representatives to the school board during a swearing-in ceremony at the start of the June 11 regular board meeting.
Grant Erickson, a junior at Capital High School, and Anna McClatchey, a sophomore at the Olympia Regional Learning Academy (ORLA), will serve as student representatives to the board through the end of May 2019.
The school board revised its policy last fall to allow for two student representatives to serve on the board each year rather than one. The representatives will alternate between the district's four high schools (Capital and ORLA students serving one year, followed by Olympia and Avanti students the next).
Student representatives serve in advisory capacity at school board meetings and do not vote. They are welcome and encouraged to comment about policies, procedures and decisions.
Summer School registration is now available. Classes begin on Monday, June 25 and run through July 25 except for July 4, which is a holiday. School will be in session Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. until noon and is for high school students only. For more information and registration forms, please visit the Summer School webpage.

Hunting Canadas Yetis...
Yetis were to be spotted running around Letchworth last weekend! Unusually these Yetis werent from the Himalayas but from the mountains of British Columbia in Canada. Also they also played rugby - and they were all girls.
They Yetis are a girls rugby team from the town of Salmon Arm in the centre of Canadas farthest west province, and were in England on their first overseas rugby tour. They left their town, still under two feet of snow, last week and after a few days in the west country headed up the M4 for Letchworth, enticed to visit Hertfordshire by the Letchworth Girls blog!
The Yetis specialise in sevens rugby, and so Letchworth Girls put together a small tournament for them, inviting girls from Kettering and Northampton to join the party. Yetis were narrow winners over Letchworth in their opening game a try from the final play of the game giving them a 17-12 win before going down to Kettering, who went on to win the tournament, 20-5.
The Yetis now travel on to Richmond in London for the final leg of their tour.
For some of Letchworths girls this was their fourth game in a week and their third game against Canadian opposition. Last Monday Letchworth, with girls from Stevenage, had taken on Madill Mustangs from Exeter in Ontario under lights at Hitchin, winning a bruising encounter 10-5. Then on Saturday three of girls were drafted in by Saracens to help them in their game against the Mustangs, Letchworths Hayley Guilder scoring two tries and being awarded Player-of-the-Match.
The Yetis fixture was also the start of Letchworths preparations for a series of five major sevens and tens tournaments that they will be taking part in across the south of England, starting with the Gloucester 10s after Easter and ending with the National 7s at the end of May.

We just got done with another super fun wedding show and we wanted to share some pictures of our fun day! We didn't get to snap too many pictures because we were having too much fun chatting with potential new clients and awesome vendors to pick up our phones but here are a few of our favorite details!
Kiri setting up our booth bright and early this morning. We rarely get to snap pictures during set up but this one shows our favorite Kai Squared set up uniform that always brings a smile to our clients and our fellow vendors.
Our booth all set up before they opened the doors. We loved the colors and the casual vintage inspiration. Since Dazzling Blue was officially named the 2014 color of the year last week, we were so glad that we had the foresight to include it in our color inspiration.
We wanted to know a little more about the couples that we met at the Show so we had each couple pin a knotted ribbon under their wedding month. It looks like May and August are going to be some seriously busy months for weddings in Sonoma County!

Bottom Line: Last year, I reviewed Bo's School Day over on our sister site, SAFK, and gave it 4-1/2 stars. I thought it was time to revisit the app and update my review over here for Android. What I found is that we still love Bo around my house and that this app has lost none of its luster with many (many, many) repeated play sessions. Again it is a very STRONG 4-1/2 stars.
Price: $2.99 Size: 26.9MB Number of activities: 10
No ads, no in-app purchases, external links to developer's site
If you would like to purchase Bo's School Day ($2.99), please use the handy links below so they will know who sent you.
Bo's School Day is one of many apps from Dutch developer Heppi. If you are unfamiliar with the Bo apps, this is a great one to jump right in with. The format of many of the Bo apps is that they consist of several mini games (in this case ten) that help a child approach a new routine or situation. This app consists of ten scenes that take Bo from home in the morning straight through to pick-up in the afternoon.
In the first scene, your child helps Bo prepare a healthy lunch and pack his backpack, then it's off to school. After arriving at school, the user helps Bo and all of his classmates hang up their jackets and bags in the proper place. If only I could get my kids to hang up their own stuff so well.
Next, Bo and his friends sing a cute song about the days of the week. Your child can also "forecast" the weather for the week. I tried to encourage my little one to choose sunshine every day, but she had much more realistic expectations and developed a much more varied forecast. Then it's off to music class where your little user is asked to recreate a sequence involving drums and cymbals.
A rousing game of tag on the playground is the next activity, and it gives your little one an opportunity to count up to the requested number of "tags." Snack time comes next, and your child has the chance to serve snacks to Bo and his friends and help them eat before cleaning everything up.
After snack time comes classroom time. The user builds towers with blocks and taps shapes into the proper place. And then it's clean-up time again. I love this part, because we are currently struggling with differing viewpoints about what constitutes "clean" at our house. We need all the help we can get.
When it's finally time for the moms and dads to pick up their giraffes . . . er . . . kids, Bo and his friends are dressed and ready to go. The player matches up the correct child with each parent as they arrive.
From the home screen you can also access a jigsaw puzzle app with ten separate puzzles, each with three difficulty options. The graphics and simplicity of use are both of the excellent quality I have come to expect from the Bo apps. There is just something so darn inviting to smaller children about this giraffe, and we also found his school friends to be equally appealing.
One thing I love about the Bo apps is that there is always a large variety of activities to occupy your little one. I do wish, however, that there was a bit more of a challenge in some of the activities. For example, I really feel that most children would benefit from longer sequences in the music class section or larger block towers to build. I think that beefing up this kind of content could really move this app up to five stars.
This app can offer your preschool child a taste of what a day at school could be like by helping Bo the Giraffe and his friends complete tasks throughout the school day. Even though my little one is a whole year older than when we first tried this app, she has not yet grown bored of Bo.

- Ashford & Simpson
- Gimme Something Real
Valerie Simpson and the late, great Nick Ashford might be best known as the songwriting duo behind some of Motown's biggest hits, including Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing" and Diana Ross's "Reach Out And Touch Somebody's Hand", not to mention Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman" and the couple's own 1984 mega-smash "Solid". But Ashford & Simpson also excelled as album artists as well, especially once they signed to Warner Bros. in 1973 and released Gimme Something Real, a stirring collection of songs that showed they saved the best stuff for themselves. Its title track is one of the most beautiful secular gospel songs of our time, while deep gems like "Bend Me", "Can You Make It Brother" and "I Need Your Light" showcase the duo's skills as a straight-up funk group more than their ballads ever did. Had Motown and Warner Bros. focused on Nick and Valerie as a marquee act instead of the R&B Goffin and King, they would have had a lot more hits in their own cache than they had. And for that reason alone, Gimme Something Real is a lost soul classic well worth revisiting.

Great easy hike, beautiful canyons and vistas
Beautiful trail. I took my dog and walked the whole trail. It is an easy trail but very little shade.We came across a Javalina but with the Boarder Collie stare down it ran away.
Went on this hike on 01/13/2018, on a beautiful sunny day, 70 degrees. Make sure you take a right at the sign before the trail begins. It is a little steep towards the top but the views are amazing.
great trail. Stay on right side when entering trail for best views. Bring lots of water and a hiking stick.
The trail is easy to follow. My dog and I completed the trail in 2 hours. The views from the top are nice.
2 hours. Right side more scenic. Not sure if theres a fee for trail day use. interesting rock formations.
I would rate this as a moderate hike due to loose rocks on trail and some of the inclines.
This was a fun hike, and a little challenging! Definitely worth it, I took my dog and he loved splashing around in the washes. I'd recommend it!
Guindani Loop Trail is 4.2 miles in length. This loop can be hiked by following the trail to the right at the fork that is ¼ mile from the parking lot. This takes you back into the canyon with multiple crossings of the wash until you start the steep climb up to the ridge. At the saddle the view is spectacular of the San Pedro Valley. Now the trail begins a long downhill hike back to the parking lot.
Quick 2 mile hike right by Kartchner Caverns. Not a lot to see that is different to any other trail or view from the area but it is good to do to push the moisture out of the lungs after you do the cave tour.

Earlier this week, I was invited to sit in the editing bay with writer and director Luc Besson to see some new, never-before-seen footage from his latest film, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, based on the popular Valerian and Laureline graphic novel series. The footage included the film's first teaser trailer (which will be released publicly next Thursday, Nov 10th), a reshowing of the 6-minute long San Diego Comic-Con footage from earlier this year, a behind-the-scenes reel, and a Besson-guided step-by-step showing of what it's been like creating just one of the many, many visual effects-heavy moments in the film, from its original storyboard to an actual completed shot.
After being introduced to Besson and taking a small, brief walk through Wildfire Studios in Los Angeles, where the film's editing is being done, Besson and I went into the film's editing room. Sitting in front of a small screen, Besson gave me some background information regarding what I was about to see and then, as the lights dimmed down, I was shown the upcoming teaser trailer for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
The film stars Dane Dehaan as Valerian and Cara Delevingne as Laureline, special operatives officials for the human territories charged with keeping peace throughout the universe, and follows the duo when they're assigned with investigating a powerful, galactic empire. All of this detail might seem superfluous in preparation for the teaser trailer though, which as Besson warned me before I was shown it, doesn't offer much in terms of story or plot information as much as it aims to offer an authentic taste of what the tone and look of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets will be.
That can't have been easy either, since I can safely say that Valerian really looks nothing like any other film of its genre. If I had to describe it, I'd probably say it's like Guardians of the Galaxy on steroids, created with Besson's signature style and technique that at points may seem reminiscent of The Fifth Element, but looks and feels different than anything else he's done before. Believe it or not, even all of that doesn't feel like it does enough to sum up all of what the film has to offer, and as the lucky attendees who saw the Valerian SDCC panel this summer are already aware, Valerian appears to be one of the largest summer blockbusters of next year - boasting visual effects that not only back up that ambition, but seem to be pushing the envelope in ways similar to how Jon Favreau's The Jungle Book did earlier this year.
While 99% of the characters won't be mo-cap animals by any means, the amount of detail and visual flair involved in the digital worlds that Besson has created here is nothing short of awe-inspiring. This includes Big Market, a shopping center in the film that's the largest of its kind in the universe and contains over one million stores, making it a huge tourist attraction. You can see a small example of what Big Market looks like in the IGN exclusive image here, even if it doesn't quite match the scale of the shopping center itself. However, what makes Big Market even more exciting (and difficult) to pull off visually, along with its multiple levels, is that it exists in an alternate dimension, requiring special goggles for visitors to see it and interact with it. In order to buy anything from Big Market too, visitors must provide their own DNA codes, or else they will be unable to bring their goods back into their own dimension.
One of the more unique details about Big Market that I was shown, and that was specifically pointed out by Besson himself, was one of the portals into it, which welcomed its visitors by using the language of multiple different alien races, creating a sense of accepted unity throughout the film's universe. Indeed, the teaser trailer offers looks at countless different alien species, all of whom look equally real, that it was hard to tell the difference between those that were created purely with CGI as background details, and those that will receive more one-on-one screen time.
In addition, Besson shared some specific, story-related details regarding the film's Big Market sequence with me, including one moment that will see Dane DeHaan's Valerian having multiple parts of his body in different dimensions simultaneously, all while trying to transfer a very specific product out of Big Market. It was at the same time, that Besson took the opportunity to show me the labored process of creating the visual effects sequences in the film, which gave me an even greater appreciation for the detail and time being put into each frame of Valerian.
When I spoke with him, Besson confirmed that around 200 of the visual effects shots in the film had been approved so far, which might seem like a lot, but is quickly dwarfed when you learn that there are just a mere 2,700 more to go; a fact the filmmaker revealed with a very fitting, sarcastic sigh.
Then, after I was shown the teaser trailer, Besson asked if I'd be interested in seeing the 6 minutes of footage from SDCC, so I could not only get another hearty taste of what to expect from Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, and also so I could see the amount of progress they've made, visually, with the film just since what they showed in July. I told him, leaving the editing room a few minutes later, that some of the visuals I saw in the unfinished footage were still better than what I've seen in completed blockbusters released this year even. In case you were wondering, a few days later and I still stand by that statement as well.
In a world where space operas are starting to make a comeback now, Valerian stands out as a promising new addition to the sci-fi genre. Not only is it a gloriously colorful film, but the humor and chemistry between DeHaan as Valerian and Delevingne as Laureline makes it seem like they could be one of next year's breakout on screen duos, evidenced by a couple moments of flirtatious, fun banter between the two in the trailer.
You'll see what I mean of course when the teaser is released next Thursday, but Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is shaping up to be Besson's most ambitious film to date, and one of the more unique and grand blockbusters of 207. So much so that as the lights in the editing bay came back on, the teaser trailer concluded, and I heard Besson humbly mumble, "That's it," my only response was to laugh in disbelief.
Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets will be released in theatres on July 21, 2017.

An ink drawing produced today is based on a painting by Charles Blackman ["Evening Light"], a print of which sits above the computer in the studio and which occasionally catches my eye, pulling me into that other, inner world of introspection, stillness and silence.
I love the rawness and 'realness' of spontaneous drawing - a sudden urge to make marks is a satisfying counterpoint to the considered and measured approach which is required in the production model of designing and making for market.
There is also the element of rebellion amongst it all ... I have been VERY disciplined of late, working to a rigourous schedule, driven by self-determined KPIs, producing enough ceramic pieces to make sure there is no shortage should I be inundated with a massive order (you never know!!)
Grabbing a stick, a pot of ink, a pre-painted sheet of wallpaper (lucky about that)... dipping and drawing the stick across the page whilst referring to the original image occasionally, not to get lost or distracted, staying focussed.
A little dalliance I would say, is a good thing.

Hi there, I'm Sarah
I am a social media and content marketing consultant, mentor, trainer and author. Having been in the small business world for eleven years, and a marketer for the last six, I now teach small business owners how to navigate the social media and content marketing world, getting their business seen by their next customers, all while KEEPING IT SIMPLE!
And that's the great thing about the online world we now live in; there is so much more possibility! The toughest parts, in my experience, are these two things:
Firstly, knowing where to start and how to build your own marketing systems. In amongst all this possibility, there is also overwhelm, more choice than you need, and analysis paralysis.
Secondly, once you figure out what tools and methods are the right ones for you personally – then you have to overcome all the psychological stuff around "putting yourself out there"… It's actually harder than you imagined while you were planning your new business.
Are you with me?
These are the issues I help small business owners just like you to overcome.

A taxi firm has decided that it will no longer take fares from disabled passengers, after a row about pricing.
Boro Taxis, in Middlesbrough, told the BBC it could not afford to send minibuses to pick up disabled customers but only charge them the same price as an able-bodied person travelling in a four-seater vehicle.
The firm's Mohammed Bashir admitted the move was "morally totally wrong", but said it was "uneconomic" to keep picking up disabled customers in minibuses.
The row began when Boro Taxis was warned by Middlesbrough Council that they could be breaking discrimination laws and lose their licence for overcharging disabled passengers.
But Mr Bashir said: "The simple fact is if you order a car and four people jump in you are charged for a taxi. If you order an eight-seater minibus and eight people jump in you are charged for a minibus.
"If you order a minibus and there's only one person you will still be charged for a minibus because that's what you ordered.
"But because we are charging for a minibus we are breaking the law."
The council, who previously found some disabled passengers were being charged as much as double the standard fare, said it would investigate the issue.

Nifty is trading above 10,000 levels for third day in a row. It has crossed above the five-figure mark after a month. Most of the stocks within the index have rallied smartly during the year.
If you haven't been in the market, perhaps you're feeling left out. Maybe you're wondering how can you bank on this rally.
Before you make a rash decision with your money, I want to ask you to go through the following insights I shared with my Peak Profit Alert subscribers on 12 August and subsequently with the Profit Hunter readers.
You know that markets go through a cycle of greed and fear. It's been that way for centuries. People were as greedy and fearful a hundred years back as they are now.
They tend to react in a similar fashion to greed and fear, which results in repetitive cycles. The reason for tops and bottoms may be different every time. But one commonality is that people were excessively greedy at the tops and excessively fearful at the bottoms.
History may not repeat but it rhymes.
I have spotted a rhythmic cycle of greed and fear that repeats every two years. I will explain this with the chart below.
This is a monthly chart of the NSE IT Index since inception. I have drawn vertical lines with a gap of two years or 24 months starting from February 2007, which was a major top in the index.
Each vertical line represents the beginning of a new phase for the index. The vertical line on February 2007 marks the end of 'the greed' phase and beginning of 'the fear' phase.
The index had rallied 109% between February 2005 to 2007. It dropped by 66% in the fear phase between February 2007 to 2009.
Here's a chart with the greed phase marked in green and fear phase marked in red.
The index enjoyed its best ever greed phase between February 2009 to 2011 with gains of 251%. The cycle turned in February 2011 and the index moved sideways till February 2013. It ended with a cut of 5%.
History rhymed once again as the index entered its greed phase in February 2013. It ended with gains of 90% by February 2015.
The next two years marked in red are the fear phase where the index lost 25% between February 2015 and 2017.
The challenging times for the sector are behind us. It has entered the greed phase in February 2017, and it could last till February 2019. If history is anything to go by, we can see the index moving up substantially from these levels.
The index has moved in a tight range over the last six months. It is trading close to its February 2017 level of 10,680 which means a bulk of its upmove is yet to come and this could be the best time to buy IT stocks.
Now IT sector is not the only place where there is a huge opportunity. Pharma sector is also on the cusp of a major reversal. I made my boldest prediction for the year 2017 in July in this piece - The Pharma Rally Starts Now. Here's a short note from it.
One lesson that I have learned over the years I've spent in trading and the investing industry is that being greedy when everyone else is fearful pays...always.
And right now it's time to be greedy in the pharma space. Why am I so bullish in the pharma sector? What has changed in the last fortnight that makes me so bullish?
First, volumes are not supporting the fall anymore. Many pharma stocks have been falling lower on heavy volumes over the last two years. Selling with heavy volumes suggests strength in the downtrend. It shows that supply exceeds demand, which means even lower prices.
A good number of stocks have dropped on lesser volumes over the last fortnight. This suggests selling pressure is drying up. Lack of fresh selling means all the weaker hands have exited the stock and the only direction left to go is up.
Second, sentiment in some stocks is so weak that even slightly positive news has the potential to lift stocks 5-6% in a day. This means all the bad news has already been factored into the price. So there aren't any negative shocks but only pleasant surprises.
Third, traders have made easy money on the short side in pharma stocks over the last few months. Positive surprises that lift the stocks could also extend prices further because of short covering rallies.
That's not all. I have been tracking the developments in the Healthcare index for my Peak Profit Alert subscribers regularly. Here's a chart of what I projected for the index on 29 July.
Here's what happened till 12 August along with the views I shared with my subscribers on the following day.
The index has dipped almost as per our expectation. It has overshot slightly below the previous low. However, our view of a pullback is still intact.Now it seems the index could very well find support around the lower edge of this channel, which is placed close to the 12,000 mark...and it can bounce back from these levels.So now it seems that most of the pharma stocks could well be on the path of forming a bottom, at least from a short to medium term perspective. So I'm keeping a close watch on all the pharma stocks...
The Healthcare index has moved as per expectations so far. Here's the latest chart.
The index has bounced back as expected but that's not all. I expect the index to touch the upper edge of the falling channel over the medium term which means a 10% move from current levels.
So, both the IT and Pharma sector present us with excellent opportunity at this stage. But being bullish on these two sectors doesn't mean you can buy every stock in it. There are more than 150 stocks listed on the exchanges which are from these two industries.
You need to be selective and pick the best ones and balance your risks and rewards. If you can do that then that's great. If you can't then you need not worry. We can help.
