(NAPSA)-Whether the
urge to remodel strikes in
summer or any other time of
year, you can seamlessly
update your home with just
a few simple steps toward
improved design, comfort,
functionality, energy effi-
ciency and curb appeal.
1. Work with what you
have. Look around your
home. Is there anything in
dire need of replacing or
refurbishing? Updates may
not be as expensive as you
might think. Consider this:
If your kitchen cabinets are
looking a little worn, consid-
er resurfacing instead of
replacing them. Just remove
the doors, then strip and
refinish or repaint them.
Invest in new handles and
pulls, as well as new hinges if
they’re visible.
2. Build a greener home
with
energy-efficient
e n h a n c e m e n t s .
Homeowners can dramati-
cally cut energy costs with-
out major renovations.
Instead of new windows, try
caulk and weather stripping
to stop any air leaks on the
windows you already have.
Install high-efficiency water
heaters to drive down heat-
ing costs. You can also install
an ENERGY STAR-certi-
fied air conditioner that adds
to your home’s good looks.
For example, the Art Cool
Mirror ductless indoor unit
from LG has a flat panel
with a charcoal mirror finish
that complements any décor.
Plus, when paired with LG’s
Smart AC, homeowners can
control the system and mon-
itor temperature on their
smartphone anytime day or
night, whether at home or
away.
3. Beautify your yard to
increase personal comfort
now and receive more cash
later. Try planting decidu-
ous trees on the south side of
your house to provide addi-
tional shade in the hotter
months, allowing you to cut
down on air-conditioning
expenses and save energy.
What’s more, real estate
experts estimate that by
spending 5 percent of the
value of your home on qual-
ity, low-maintenance land-
scaping, you could boost the
resale value by 15 percent.
4. Create a seamless
look for your kitchen. A
counter-depth refrigerator,
like a 3-Door French Door
Refrigerator from LG, will
allow homeowners to get the
sophisticated look they
desire for their kitchen with-
out sacrificing space or the
added cost of installing an
actual built-in appliance. To
help keep the hub of your
home clean, establish a mes-
sage center in your kitchen.
Put a bulletin board or
chalkboard on the wall and
store a calendar, notebook
and writing utensils in a
nearby drawer to help elimi-
nate clutter.
5. Stylish lighting is a
bright idea. A striking chan-
delier or light fixture can
serve as a charming addition
in a well-composed room.
Lighting is also one of the
easiest ways to update your
space; a petite desk lamp or
floor lamp can significantly
brighten up a room. Be sure
to use ENERGY STAR-
qualified bulbs to make it a
truly eco-friendly yet chic
addition (and save up to $70
a year in energy costs).

An Essential Step For College Loans And Grants
(NAPSA)-Young men
seeking funds for college
may be surprised to learn
that in addition to loan
and grant applications
there is another form they
must
complete-their
Selective Service registra-
tion.
That’s because regis-
tration with the Selective
Service is required in
order for a young man to
be eligible for Pell
Grants, Federal Work-
Study,
Guaranteed
Student PLUS Loans and
National Direct Student
Loans, as well as federal
job training and jobs with
the federal government.
Not only does the reg-
istration
requirement
apply to permanent
employment, but also to
summer and temporary
employment with the
federal government.
In addition, many
states, local government
agencies, police depart-
ments and state bar
examiners now require
applicants to be regis-
tered with Selective
Service.
Many states even
require it for a driver’s
license. In most cases,
registration with Selective
Service is also a condition
for male immigrant
noncitizens to obtain
U.S. citizenship if the
young man arrived and
took up residence in the
United States prior to his
26th birthday.
Registration Is Key
Registration is quick
and easy and can be done
by either checking block
#22 on the Federal
FAFSA Student Aid
Application or by going
online at www.sss.gov
999 ✦ PUBLIC
NOTICES
To be eligible for federal
loans and grants for col-
lege, young men must
first register with the
Selective Service.
from a smartphone or
computer. Those who
don’t have access to a
computer can pick up a
registration form at any
U.S. post office.
Those still in high
school should check to
see if their school takes
part in the Selective
Service registrar program.
This provides students
with a convenient alter-
native to registering at
the post office. A high
school registrar can assist
men in registering online
using school computers
to
connect
to
www.sss.gov.
Educating young men
about the registration
requirement is essential.
If a man fails to register,
he is in violation of feder-
al law and subject to a
$250,000 maximum fine,
a prison term of up to five
years or a combination of
both.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN ACTIVITIES and SOURCES OF
FINANCING*
Revenue from the local option levy as well as increased state revenue has resulted
in financial stability of the Siuslaw School District. The increase enrollment at the
elementary and the addition of all-day kindergarten necessitated the hiring of new
staff for 2015-2016 which includes 2 certificated positions and 1 administrative
position. The Siuslaw School District will also be implementing a self-operating
food service program starting July 1, 2015, which resulted in the addition of 6.25
fte of classified staffing. There was an addition of 4.1 fte during the 14-15 school
year after the budget process to accommodate the district growing enrollment and
STEAM initiatives. This budget is a status quo budget except for the items cited
above.
