Estate B y D A V ID S Y K E S REALTO R PAINTING & CURB APPEAL The executive dressed in a tailored suit looks a whole lot different than he does on a weekend fishing trip. Just like the well-groomed person gets more attention, your home will get more favorable looks from buyers if it has a fresh face to it. It will probably sell for a higher price as well. One of the most effective ways to dress up your home for sale is to put on a fresh coat of paint. Dollar for dollar, you will get more in terms o f a higher selling price with new paint than with just about any other improvement you can make. Curb appeal is extreme ly important in attracting buy ers. Old. weather-beaten paint can actually detract interest and buyers from a very nice home. Many times, just painting the trim, doors, the eves and rain gutters is all that is need ed to give a house a fresh look. Selecting contemporary colors that give a home that up-to- date look will also help in get ting top dollar for your home once it goes on the market.

San Ju an ita (Elguezabal) Moreno has found her true calling and has made a name for herself in national rugby circles. After playing for just two years, the 2001 Heppner High School graduate has recently been named to the USA Rugby U23 squad, the Eagles. Moreno first learned about rugby after spending three years on the Western Oregon University softball roster. O nce W estern O regon had organized a rugby team. Moreno was excited knowing that this aggressive sport was just her style. M oreno quickly worked her way up. earning playing positions for select squad team s such as the Pacific Coast Grizzlies her first year. Later that same year, sum m er o f 2005, Moreno was selected into the USA Rugby U23 pool, w hich earn ed her an exclusive invitation to a weeklong practice with the team. In February of this year. Moreno received her first invitation to play with the USA N ational U23 squad, earning a starting position as an inside and outside center. Since then Moreno completed her last rugby season at Western and is finishing her work to graduate with a B.A. in Speech Com m unications. However unlike many of her teammates, Moreno didn't stop training at the end of the college rugby season. Her hard work and long hours paid off this summer when the rugger participated in the Collegiate National All Star Tournament in Boulder, CO where she was named an All- American. M oreno is still playing for the USA U23 Eagle rugby squad, recently returning from a weeklong p ractice sessio n at the U n iv ersity o f S tan fo rd . There she was honored to be a team captain during a scrimmage. The Eagles w ill continue to play throughout the summer. If the resources are available, San Juanita w ill be co m p etin g in Philadelphia Aug. 15-20, and will follow with a tour to C anada beginning on Sept. 24. M oreno is excited about the upcom ing international play but is even more passionate about the high expectations she has for herself. Earning the privilege to wear the red, white and blue rugby jersey for the women’s USA Rugby squad is her goal. This great tribute would enable her to compete in the next women’s World Cup. At p ra c tice and during games, San Juanita gives 100 percent of her heart and talent but she needs some help to raise 100 percent of the funds to make this dream a reality. She w ould a p p re cia te som e financial assistance. She would be extremely grateful if you could send donations in her name to the Bank of Eastern Oregon, P.O. Box 39. Heppner, OR 97836.
