Kiyo Reconstruction Update Monday, August 30, 2010 Trustees At Work Last weekend, three Trustees continued their efforts to put the finishing touches on our New Campus buildings and grounds. Yong Son painted exterior doors and touched up the interior walls. She has been here regularly over the past few weeks giving everything a fresh, clean coat of paint to welcome our students on September 7. Rich Houdek painted the facade over the south-facing windows with the cheerful, bright Sherwin Williams "Invigorate." This color was selected to catch the peripheral vision of travelers of the M-5 on-ramp that runs parallel to the campus. If you have a chance, drive by and let us know whether it caught your eye. We want other gifted people to notice! Rich also brought his son, Evan, who helped weed, plant and spray Round-Up on weeds with Carol Powell in addition to assisting dad. Keiko Morse purchased and brought the chrysanthemums that Carol planted in the flower beds outside the windows of the Commons. She was unable to assist further since the final papers for her MA were due (she made it!). Kiyo Morse did some weeding and pruning of trees but had to spend most of her time on last minute administrative tasks. "Grandpa Don" Gaines worked on the library stacks so librarian and wife, Sally Gaines, could finish putting our library books back on the shelves. They have been at the school regularly, and Don has driven to Ypsilanti a couple of times to transfer library shelves back to us. "Sonny" Son has been working daily on-site in order to minimize costs. On Saturday, his crew included Clint Powell and Toshi Adair, who helped him finish welding and grinding the hand-rail for the handicap ramp in preparation for the Fire Safety inspection.
