Ryan Holder

Last summer, Ryan participated in a research program at Washington State University where he designed machine learning methods to analyze wearable sensor data to automatically detect a person’s stress. Previous to this, he worked at a startup company designing an Android app to collect sensor data for the purpose of automatically assessing a person’s health. During the pandemic, he organized zoom piano concerts for older adults living at Bishop Place.

Ryan will be attending college in the fall, studying physics and piano performance.

Keleigh is a multi-year letter winner in both volleyball and softball and has received 1st team all-academic honors each season. This fall, Keleigh was captain of the varsity volleyball team and was named 1st team All-Greater Spokane League as a setter. She was recently named PHS’ NECA/IBEW female fall scholar athlete. Keleigh has also received all-league recognition in softball and was selected as defensive player of the year by her teammates for her work behind the plate.

After high school, Keleigh plans to attend a four-year university to study kinesiology or exercise science with hopes of pursing a master’s degree in occupational therapy.

A New Year’s Resolution: Get Your Pet in Shape!

It’s January and you may have joined the millions of Americans who resolve to lose a few pounds and strengthen their bodies. While you are hitting the gym and counting calories, it’s important to remember that your pets need to be in shape too. There is no better time than the present to get your pet in shape.

American pets are prone to obesity. The Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, which does an annual survey on obesity among companion animals, estimates that 60% of US cats and 56% of US dogs are either overweight or obese. Sometimes, of course, the problem is obvious -- the pet moves slowly, looks bulky, and gets winded easily -- but sometimes pet parents may have trouble determining if their companion animal might be well served by closer attention to diet and exercise.

If you have a dog, consider this visual scale published in Modern Dog Magazine. Look at the dog on cross view and from above and apply this scale: 1 - 3: Underweight Ribs, spine and hip bones easily visible, little fat, very obvious waist. Viewed from above the rib and hip bones are highly visible and seem to jut out.

4 - 5: Ideal Weight Ribs, spine and hip bones not visible but can feel easily, well proportioned. You can see a waist line. Viewed from above you can see the outline of the ribs and you can feel them. The belly tucks up when viewed from the side. There is a visible waist when you view the dog from above.

6 - 9: Overweight to Obese Ribs, spine and hip bones not easily visible or felt, diminished waist or you can’t see waist at all, excess of fat deposits on waist, face and limbs. When viewed from above, the dog seems to have no waist and when viewed from the side, the stomach is rounded.

Cats are a little different. The Veterinary Center at Tufts University suggests that you run your hands over the cat’s rib cage. The rib cage should feel no more padded than the back of your hand. If you have to press even a bit to feel the rib cage, it’s time for a slimming program.

The effects of overweight and obesity can be devastating to animals -- and ultimately to the people who love them. Research has shown that overweight pets are more likely to suffer from arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, urinary disorders, reproductive disorders, certain types of tumors and cancers, skin diseases, and complications from anesthesia.

So how do you set your pet’s January weight reduction plan in motion? Start by considering how your pet came to be overweight/obese.

Pets become overweight or obese the same way humans do: they either ingest too many calories or fail to get enough exercise or both. The solution then becomes one of cutting calories and increasing exercise. Here are some tips to help you get started.

1.

Talk to your veterinarian to figure out how much food and what type of food your pet should be eating.

2.

Commit to portion control. Portion control is very important. Use good measuring tools to ensure that your animal is getting what is needed --- and no more. A heaping cup is not a cup. It is probably 20% more than a cup.

FELINE FRIENDS

by Jayden DeBoer, Foster Program Coordinator

Booberry: 12-15 years old DSH Tuxedo Neutered Male

Meet Booberry!

Booberry is ready to find his purr-fect retirement home! Booberry just had a dental cleaning with extractions and could not be more ready for the snuggles he gets during recovery. He had 11 teeth removed, and the vet said he was already missing some! His recovery will take a bit, but should be easy going. For this first week post-op, he is on an oral antibiotic, which he thinks is bacon and eats like a champ. He also is on a strictly wet food diet for a couple of weeks while his gums heal. Then he can have kibble again!

Booberry is a very handsome large man who will absolutely steal your heart with his salt and pepper face. He is a fan favorite here at the shelter, with staff, visitors, and volunteers! He can be found begging for pets and snuggles when he is not snoozing away on his bed. Booberry has been estimated by our vet to be around 15 years of age, so he is an established senior guy. With his being in senior status, we do suggest that his adopters have a good plan for ensuring he receives frequent vet exams and blood panels, to ensure that everything is looking good for him healthwise as he continues to age.

DOGGIE DE-TAILS

by Zoë Skiadopoulou, Training & Enrichment Coordinator

3. Reconsider your pet food choices. Kibble can increase your pet’s carbs. Perhaps wet food or fresh food would be a better choice.

Again, you should ask your veterinarian about these options.

4. Make your pet work for their food. In the wild, felines and canids hunt for their food. Build upon this ability and make your pet hunt for their food. Look up “hunting feeders’’ and “puzzle feeders’’ on Google. These are excellent ways to make your pet search for their dinner -- and burn a few calories at the same time.

5. Consider an exercise program for your pet. In Pullman, a great way to exercise your pet is a membership in the Pooch Park, which provides dogs of all sizes and ages a way to play together and burn calories as they do that. See www.whitmanpets.org and click under “Pooch Park.” Exercising an indoor cat may involve an investment in a few exercise toys. There are exercise wheels, climbing towers, and many other toys that can be used to provide cats with regular exercise. These are worth the investment in improved life quality outcomes for your beloved fur family members!

Cream: 1-year-old spayed female pitbull mix. She is not a good fit for other dogs, cats, or children.

Cream was transferred to WCHS from a rescue organization in Forth Worth, Texas where she had been waiting on the adoption floor for several months. She is a sweet girl who loves to go on walks, eat peanut butter treats and get lots of snuggles from our staff! Cream has been adopted out once and returned back to WCHS due to displaying defensive and resource guarding behaviors in the home.

Our Training and Enrichment Coordinator will be facilitating her adoption process/ counseling and will be able to pass along all of the tips and tricks that our dog training team has for her! Her new owners should be prepared to work with her on these behaviors and get her into training classes, to further help her along with her goals and build trust/confidence in her new family. Cream does have to be the only pet in the home and can not go to a home with any children. While we wait for Cream to be adopted, we are hoping to get her out of her shelter kennel and into a foster home! If you are interested in adopting or fostering Cream, please reach out to us at 509-332-3422.

A Letter From Friends of Gladish President…

December 2021 Dear Palouse Community Member, I hope this letter finds you and your loved ones doing well as 2021 comes to an end. Just as in 2020, we have all experienced the continuing turmoil brought by the seemingly unending COVID 19 pandemic. The good news is that life is slowly regaining some semblance of normalcy, and with all of us pulling together, 2022 will be a better year.

Here at Gladish we have continued to make excellent strides in resolving deferred maintenance and rehabilitating tenant and event spaces: A $360,000 roof replacement project began this fall, the cost of which will be offset by a $120,000 Heritage Capital Grant from the Washington State Historical Society. Once this project is completed, Gladish will only need to replace the last two remaining sections of its one and a quarter acre roof.

Asbestos abatement of the boiler room and replacement of insulation around the boiler and steam distribution piping has been done.

Fencing around the school playground area has been replaced with code compliant six-foot chain link and the toddler area within the playground with four-foot chain link.

The view room has new flooring and window coverings, leaving upgrades to the audio-visual systems yet to be completed.

It is clear Friends of Gladish has invested considerably throughout 2021 and plans to continue to work to make The Gladish Center a focal point for the performing arts in the four-county region of Washington and Idaho that it serves. At the same time, schools, businesses, and nonprofits that call Gladish home will benefit from upgraded facilities and services.

Friends of Gladish and its Gladish Centre have enjoyed financial participation from the community and members of Friends of Gladish throughout 2021, for which we are very grateful. Given the plans we have for the future of the Gladish Centre, it is clear your continued financial support will be essential to its success. Please, if you are not already, become a member of Friends of Gladish by visiting our website: www. gladishcommunity.org, where you will find up to date Gladish information.

The other contribution you can make is to visit our “Projects” page on our website to see what the future holds. The Performing Arts Center project at Gladish is ambitious and will provide for many segments of our regional community. While financial support for this project will be greatly appreciated, we also ask that you share this information to help build support and interest in bringing the Performing Arts Center at Gladish to fruition.

From the Staff and Board of Directors of Friends of Gladish:

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, and Happy A project is underway to replace all the toilets with low-flush units and New Year, all sinks with automatic water control. To date, twenty-five percent of the toilets have been replaced.

The building internet distribution system is being upgraded to accommodate tenant needs.

The parking lot was expanded and resurfaced, increasing available parking spaces to 100.

Seventy (70) windows were replaced, leaving one hundred left to do.

The Centre lighting has been converted to LED.

David Harder, President Friends of Gladish Board of Directors

The Pullman Charter Montessori School opened for grades K through 5 in August and has become an anchor tenant of The Gladish Centre.

What excites us most here at Gladish is the project we have begun to renovate the current auditorium and certain office spaces into a stateof-the-art performing arts center. The Schematic Design phase is set to complete as this letter is being written, with the Design Development phase set to begin immediately afterward. This is no small undertaking.

The current cost estimate to complete the renovation is five million dollars ($5,000,000). The formal fund-raising effort will begin in earnest January 1, 2022, although significant preliminary work is already underway.

Pullman Center Highlight

From left to right: Leathia Botello, Student Services & Accounts; Dyan Bledsoe, ABE Faculty & Center Manager; Veronica Mendez-Liaina, Academic Advisor; Enkhee Engels, Student Applications & Success; Patrick Forster, Assistant Dean Our student services and operations team at the CCS Pullman Center is grateful for a successful fall quarter and starting the new year with our Center’s doors wide open and in-person activities instruction in full swing. Sure, public health policies such as masking and vaccinations remain in effect. Still, we feel we are back at what we do best: Offering personalized and caring support to each and every one in our student community.

Impressions and tips from Dyan Bledsoe, our ABE faculty and Center Manager: What do you celebrate?

There is so much to celebrate at the start of this year that I’m not sure where to begin! I believe in the importance of building community in my classroom, and seeing students offer support and encouragement to each other and the value of in-person instruction. I am celebrating relationships, communication and learning!

What are you looking forward to in the winter and spring quarters?

Dyan Bledsoe, ABE Faculty & Center Manager Photo credit: Sofia Cordero, SFCC Pullman ‘22

I am excited to help students to meet their individual goals. Students join Adult Basic Education courses for multiple reasons. Some come back to school after a lifetime of work. Other students may have struggled the last couple of years during remote learning. Adult learners are a privilege to work with because of their diverse stories and life experiences. I learn so much from my students, and I always look forward to supporting them as they pursue their dreams.

How are you preparing for a successful term?

I took time to breath and relax over the holiday. Giving myself some grace to refuel makes me more welcoming and energetic for the start of winter quarter.

What do you do when things get tough for you or for students?

Adult learners, like the rest of us, face challenges and obstacles in their daily lives. When things get tough, my students know that I have their backs. I’m here to support them and help them so that getting their education is not one additional burden, but a positive and empowering experience.

PULLMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT

JANUARY 2022

Professional Learning Communities (PLC) Roberta Kramer, Assistant Superintendent

Late this summer the Pullman School District embarked on a three-year project to develop, implement, and sustain a Professional Learning Community (PLC). The evolution of PLCs began in Illinois in the 1980’s when Rick Dufour and his colleagues began thinking about how to create structures that enhance student achievement. These structures became PLCs and are one of the best approaches to ensuring that equitable student experiences ensure student achievement.

Professional Learning Communities are those school and district teams that collaboratively study student achievement by asking four questions:

Congratulations to our School Board!

The Pullman School District Board of Directors has been selected to receive the 2021 Board of Distinction award from the Washington State School Directors’ Association. This high honor recognizes exceptional collaborative leadership, oversight, and dedication to students and the community as well as exceptional levels of correlation between data, board decisions and positive outcomes for students. In this third school year of shifting instructional models and continued health and safety challenges, this year’s Boards of Distinction application asked school directors to illustrate how their actions exemplified visionary leadership and helped their school districts close opportunity gaps.

Thank you for serving our community!

INFORMATION For Parents

1) What do we expect our student to learn? Year 1 2) How will we know if students have learned it (common assessments)? Year 2 3) How will we respond if students haven’t learned it (intervention)? Year 3 4) How will we respond if students have already learned it (extension)? Year 3 We have spent time learning from experts in this field, including leaders from the White River School District in western Washington, with approximately 20 other Washington school districts.

With our focus this year on Question 1, we are identifying specifically which standards will be essential in our school district. This will guarantee that our curriculum is consistent across our school district and also aligned from one level to another. In addition, we will host the superintendent from White River School District, Janel Keating, on our January 14 Learning Improvement Day. This learning opportunity will afford all staff to hear from an expert with over 25 years of experience in PLCs. In addition, our district is fortunate to have another expert, Bryce Amos, a superintendent from Iowa who serves as our “coach.” Mr. Amos has many years of experience creating and sustaining professional learning communities in large urban and small suburban school districts. During his visits to our district he is able to observe, ask questions, and provide guidance related to our processes.

We are excited to embark on this PLC learning journey!

We know that by collaborating about student learning our students will continue to be successful!

Pullman Community Update 11

Importance of Parent Teacher Connections

Pam Brantner, Sunnyside Elementary Principal Many people gauge levels of student academic success based on teacher status, academic grades, or socioeconomic status.

However, the real key to student success is none of these. The best indicator for student academic success depends on the relationship between school and families. Especially when there is direct communication by school staff and families are familiar with learning at their child’s school.

Families involved in their child’s education at home and at school have higher academic achievements than those who do not. Many staff members such as social workers, teachers, counselors, and administrators play a vital role in connecting families with their school by encouraging family engagement.

Family engagement is not only parent interest in their child’s learning; it is a shared responsibility with staff and teachers to meet educational goals and encourage a student’s growth.

When families are engaged in their child’s school life, kids develop a love of learning that will expand their knowledge base and sense of wonder. When teachers focus on family relationships, they often see change with those children in their classroom. The more teachers involve parents, the more motivation, positive behaviors, and good grades increase.

Teachers often encourage parent engagement and involvement by inviting parents to school meetings or events, asking them to volunteer at school or get involved with PTO/PTA, or suggesting parents meet with their child’s teacher to set goals and objectives. Or better yet, volunteer within the classroom, share a hobby or cultural background.

When parents and teachers commit to this learning atmosphere and work together to help students succeed, this is when we see success and growth. So, why is parent involvement so important?

When school staff establishes relationships with families early on, families will feel more welcome and more willing to be involved in their child’s education. If those relationships are not established early on, parents may feel they are not supposed to be part of their child’s learning process.

Children with engaged parents are more likely to earn higher grades and test scores, graduate from high school and attend post-secondary education, develop self-confidence and motivation in the classroom, and have better social skills and classroom behavior. According to waterford.org, children with engaged families are also less likely to struggle with low selfesteem, develop behavioral issues, or need redirection from their teacher in the classroom.

So, how can parents become more involved with their child’s school life?

GLADISH PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE

JANUARY 2022

The Performing Arts Centre at the Gladish will serve as a new home for the Washington Idaho Symphony! Below is a statement of support from the WIS: “The Washington Idaho Symphony is a non-profit Symphony Orchestra comprised of professional musicians from the Pullman/Moscow area.

Currently, the community does not have its own Symphony Hall and our orchestra is performing its concerts at the theater located within the local high school. While the Symphony is appreciative of the support from the High School, not having a space we can call home means we cannot expand our programming nor control the scheduling of our season. Additionally, we are required to spend a large part of our budget on vehicles to transport equipment and on venue rental costs. While the WIS continues to be a partner to The Gladish, the current auditorium doesn’t meet the needs of the WIS in terms of comfort to our patrons and proper acoustics. A new Performing Arts Centre would give the WIS a space it can call home that allows us to give an even more extraordinary experience for our patrons. For the WIS, being able to perform in a new Performing Arts Centre at Gladish would be an overwhelming positive change for the organization in a profound way that would result in growth and stability for the area’s only Symphony Orchestra.”

- Kristin Lincoln, Washington Idaho Symphony Executive Director

The Gladish is building a home for the arts right here on the Palouse! This new Centre, located on the 1954 wing of the Gladish, will feature a state of the art Main Stage auditorium, built to be a home for all our performing arts groups including Washington Idaho Symphony, Pullman Civic Theatre, and the Palouse Choral Society. The new facility will include new seating, updated interiors, new HVAC systems, new lighting and sounds systems, new entrance from the parking lot, and a patron lobby with a grand staircase. Downstairs will house the renovated Little Theater built for intimate theatrical experiences in a “black box” setting. The Little Theater wing will also include updated technical systems, green room, dressing rooms, a recording studio, and a new lobby and entrance.

PULLMAN REGIONAL HOSPITAL

JANUARY 2022

Building our Future Physician Pipeline Another significant milestone for the Family Medicine Residency has been achieved – we officially broke ground!

Through the work of many, we raised $1.55 million to fully fund construction and build a clinic where residents will learn from our physicians and staff and also learn to provide care for patients. The clinic, about 5,000 square feet of space, will occupy what was hospital administration, medical records and fiscal services.

We partnered with the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine to capture this momentous event on video (see below).

Some of us even had the opportunity to wield a sledgehammer! This video will be one of the resources used to promote the Pullman Regional Hospital Family Medicine Residency. The hospital and the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine will work collaboratively to recruit the best residents to Pullman.

Scan the code and watch our video!

While there is more work to be done in preparation of welcoming the first class of residents in 2023, and sustaining this program in perpetuity, we can take a moment to celebrate.

Additionally, we are proud to acknowledge the volunteer fundraisers on our Next Era of Excellence Campaign Cabinet, led by our own Foundation: Mayor Glenn Johnson co-chair, Wayne Druffel co-chair, Ken Casavant, Carol Chipman, Dr. Kyle Hazelwood, Jean Logan, Garth Mader, Steve Mader, Noel Schulz, Tony Poston, Pat Wright.

Training future physicians here in Pullman and our outlying communities is a significant endeavor for our hospital and medical community and will transform how people access primary care in Pullman and beyond.

It’s through the power of philanthropy we can exceed excellence in recruiting, retaining and training exceptional physicians.

Excellence doesn't have to be complicated.

We believe Less is More.
