Go organic: WSU’s Eggert Family Organic Farm holds on-site sales Fridays through fall Look for fresh herbs—from chives and chocolate mint to oregano and sage—to carrots, cabbage, kale, salad mix, summer squash, cucumbers, arugula, rhubarb, and more on Fridays at the Eggert Family Organic Farm. Offerings will vary throughout the season. But WSU’s organic farm is now open 3 to 6 p.m. Fridays through October.

The farm was certified organic in 2004. Jaeckel has been manager since 2005, the same year farm sales started. Ten years later, in 2015, the farm produced its first full harvest at its new 30-acre land assignment on Animal Sciences Road just east of the main WSU Pullman campus. As the season progresses, look for bulk sales on onions, tomatoes, and potatoes. Winter squash and pumpkins will be ready in time for the annual Harvest Festival on Oct. 12. (You’ll want to mark your calendar for this popular, family-friendly event.)

“We’re really excited to keep offering the weekly farm stand to the community,” says farm manager Brad Jaeckel. “It’s an easy thing we can do to provide local produce to the community, and it allows people to To stay up to date with farm happenings, visit the farm. We encourage people to walk sign up for its newsletter or visit its around and take a look.” Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ WSUOrganicFarm/. WSU’s organic farm, part of the The farm can also be found at Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, css.wsu.edu/organicfarm/. features a greenhouse, hoop houses, and an orchard planted in 2013 with 128 trees. Jaeckel expects to have some fruit to sell this summer. “The orchard is still pretty young,” he says. “It’ll be bit by bit until it really kicks in. But we should have apples, pears, and sweet and sour cherries.”

Eggert Family Organic Farm Open 3 to 6 p.m. Fridays through October. Located on Animal Sciences Road, east of the main WSU Pullman campus.

WSU Pullman Cougar Spotlight: Mark Dinges You might’ve seen him at Martin Stadium. Mark Dinges coordinates Scouts’ program sales during WSU home football games, overseeing about 20 youngsters as a volunteer with Boy Scouts of America. Programs sell for $5 and Scouts receive a commission based on the number sold. The money goes to fund activities such as camping. Dinges was a Cub Scout when he was Longtime WSU employee Mark Dinges began with Boy Scouts of America when a kid growing up in Hawaii. Back then, volunteering his young son got involved with the group. A his involvement only lasted a couple of dozen years later, Dinges is still helping raise years. But, since moving to Pullman and money for BSA camping trips and other activities. going to work at WSU, he’s served as a BSA volunteer for a dozen years and counting. He sticks with it, he says, because of “that satisfaction of being of service to others.” He’s inspired by a quote from Muhammad Ali: “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” Dinges serves on the fundraising committee for Troop 460. He got back involved with BSA when his son Patrick, now 19 and a WSU sophomore, joined Cub Scouts in elementary school. Dinges was Cubmaster of Pack 415. His son went on to earn his Eagle Scout rank, BSA’s highest achievement, and Dinges “just continued to stay involved with different roles in the organization.” Scouting, he says, “exposed our family to a lot of activities that we otherwise might not have been involved in: hiking and camping and biking and skiing. It was also a great way to make friends with other families.” Dinges has a bachelor’s degree in business management from New York University and a master’s degree in higher education administration from the University of South Carolina. He earned a second bachelor’s degree in information systems management at WSU. He moved to Pullman in 1995 with his wife, April Seehafer (’93, English), now Director of the Distinguished Scholarships Program. He’s worked for WSU on and off since 1996 in various departments—from the Alumni Association to the Foundation. Since 2016, he’s served as the Assistant Director of Development for the College of Education. He also serves on the board of the Pullman Education Foundation. His daughter Grace, 15, is a sophomore at Pullman High School. Although he was born in New York, raised in Hawaii, and went to grad school in South Carolina, he’s lived in Pullman longest. “I have,” he says, “come to call Pullman home.”

WSU plates rank No. 1 The WSU Alumni Association proudly reports crimson Cougar plates are the No. 1 specialty license plate in Washington state. In addition to spreading Cougar Pride wherever they travel, a portion of the cost of each plate goes to supporting scholarships. Since the asssociation took over the program in 2011, it has contributed nearly $4.4 million in scholarships to WSU students. If you already have a Coug plate, the WSU Alumni Association thanks you.

Coming soon: A…My Name is Still Alice This musical “forgoes the meat cleaver for the ostrich plume and clearly would rather tickle a male chauvinist pig to death than hack him to pieces,” The New York Times wrote. Music ranges from gospel, country, and rock to glorious pop ballads, moving the audience from laughter to tears with a lively production that explores the concerns of contemporary women. Although written in the 1990s, the issues remain all too relevant. The musical, rated PG-13, includes mild adult themes. The cast features WSU School of Music faculty members Dr. Julie Anne Wieck, director, and Dr. Lori Wiest. They’re joined by voice majors Katherine Berndt, Anya Guadamuz, and Sarah Daniels. Also performing are: Elena Panchenko, piano; Nicholas Theriault, percussion; and Jackson Bores, bass. General admission is $15. Tickets for students and seniors are $10. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. July 26 and 27, and 2 p.m. July 28 at the Bryan Hall Theatre. The Performance Dates & Times show returns at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 23 and July 26 & 27 @ 7:30 p.m. 24.

PHS STEAM Proposal Lands Innovation Grant Award

Pullman High School chemistry teacher Johanna Brown and art teacher Rob McPherson’s $9880 proposal for a capstone project involving students enrolled in ceramics and chemistry is the 2019-2020 recipient of the PEF Innovation Grant. Grant funds will support the construction of a Raku kiln, purchase of a glazing cabinet with carts, glazemaking supplies and materials, Raku process supplies, and printing costs for display posters. Students will study the science of ceramics by using raw materials to create glazes which then will be applied to their pottery creations. Pottery will be fired at specific temperatures and results analyzed. The process of experimenting with glazes will require student use and knowledge of the scientific process, engineering practices, and the aesthetics of ceramic artwork. Student artwork and scientific displays will be exhibited each year at the PHS spring arts festival. This ambitious project will count on help from shop teacher Vince Hanley’s welding class to build and install an outdoor kiln for Raku firing. Mike Wendt of Wendt Pottery in Lewiston, ID., will advise on pottery production, and Michael Maughan, Ph.D, Mechanical Engineering, University of Idaho, will provide guidance in research and experimental design.

CLEAR at Sunnyside Elementary Imagine trying everything you can think of to help a student who is in distress on a daily basis. They may yell, hit, and kick others. They may put their heads down and refuse to do anything. They may intentionally injure themselves. These challenges are faced daily at schools across the nation, including Sunnyside Elementary. Often times adults can see that the child so desperately wants to follow the directions of staff, but are having this internal dilemma of wanting/needing to be in total control of the situation. While this can be a frustrating situation for staff, they work to keep the child needs in mind. While working together as a team at Sunnyside Elementary School we have implemented interventions to support our students but often times these are not enough. The CLEAR Group has given us the opportunity to add to our knowledge base and teach us strategies and interventions to best support all students. This valuable opportunity focuses on training staff to support all students, not just specific students, which in turn benefits the entire Pullman School District. Building the capacity of teachers benefits not only current students but future students as well. The CLEAR Group will help to shift our thinking from “What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you follow directions? Why can’t you do your work?” to “What happened to you? How can we support you so that you can be successful?” Childhood experiences, both positive and negative, have a tremendous impact on future violence victimization and perpetration, and lifelong health and opportunity. As such, early experiences are an important public health issue. Much of the foundational research in this area has been referred to as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Some Adverse Childhood Experiences that Sunnyside Elementary students face are: emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, physical neglect, mother treated violently, household substance abuse, household mental illness, parental separate or divorce and incarcerated household members. Research shows that students with ACEs are two and one-half times more likely to fail a grade; score lower on standardized achievement test scores; have more receptive or expressive language difficulties; are suspended or expelled more often; and, are designated to special education more frequently. Our school mission is to help all children become successful adults and to love learning. Over the last year Sunnyside’s work with the CLEAR Group has helped to support the needs of our students ensuring that all of our students reach their full potential.

Changing Together for a Better Pullman Public School System Nathan Roberts, Board Member Pullman Public Schools experienced a cultural shift in the last academic year. Starting in the Fall we invited Vince Martinez from Partners in Leadership to help us work on improving our district culture through a focus on organizational change and growth. With his assistance, administrational district employees worked collectively to develop a set of cultural beliefs for our district. These beliefs, reflect the values of our entire district. The Pullman Schools Board of Directors wanted to take this process further by integrating the cultural beliefs our staff built together and injecting them into the core of our strategic plan. It has been several years since we revised the district strategic plan, so we began a process of revising our plan to match our cultural beliefs and create a new guiding vision with measurable dimensions.

The board invited Mick Miller, the Assistant Superintendent for Student Learning and Support Services from ESD 101, to help us navigate the revision of our strategic plan. Superintendent Miller was integral in helping us to plan our process and gather feedback from all the stakeholders involved. Our priorities were to have a plan in place by the start of the next school year, to integrate the cultural beliefs of our district, and to provide as many opportunities for feedback as possible in the timeframe. We wanted to be thorough, but also considerate of the changes in our district and the need for continuity going into the next school year. We began our work at the board level to draft a plan that fit our vision and values. We then invited the administration team to review the document and provide feedback. Once we incorporated their input we gave it to the teachers and staff to gather their feedback, and Superintendent Miller managed to gather some High School students’ input as well. Once we integrated these changes, we submitted the draft to the community through the Thought Exchange survey process, soliciting feedback on our combined efforts. We also held a focus group with leaders of PTA, PTO and Booster groups for the District schools. Once all of this feedback was in, we drafted several versions and devoted a board work session to reviewing all the feedback, considering the evolution of the drafts, and finalizing our overall plan. We also worked to build a list of metrics we can use to maintain accountability and track our progress. Throughout this process, it has been clear that school districts benefit from an active community, continued dialogue and growth, and the assistance of professionals who can guide us through these processes. We had the help of our administrators, staff, and the community in constructing this plan that reflects the values of the Pullman Public Schools and our Community. I want to thank everyone for their thoughtful input and assistance in crafting this new vision for our district. We look forward to sharing the final product of our collective efforts! The Pullman Education Foundation would like to congratulate the officers voted in for the 2019-20 school year: President Kelly Newell Vice President Mark Dinges Treasurer Jon Anderson Secretary James Onstead We would also like to thank the outgoing President, Amy Tull, for her service, as well as outgoing Members Chioma Heim, Sue Hilliard, Justin Rogers, and Nicole Whitehead.

Palouse Tables Project: On the Move Community Action Center and 11 community partners are pleased to present “Palouse Tables Project: On the Move,” a follow-up initiative to the Palouse Tables Project food assessment. Pending grant funding, Palouse Tables Project: On the Move will create a mobile farm stand over the next four years to bring fresh produce to towns where many people experience hunger, and towns located in “food deserts.” The mobile farm stand will be a portable mini farmers’ market that will serve small towns on the Palouse with fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables. The farm stand will be set up in community gardens, community centers, and “hotspots” that guarantee foot traffic. The project will pay local farmers for their produce, while selling the food at affordable prices for residents. As a true social enterprise, this project will run on donations from the community as well as food sales. We are looking for cash pledges for the project to match $400,000 in USDA funding we just requested through a grant proposal to fund the project. We

What is your day job? I am the Environmental Health Director at Whitman County Public Health, so I wear quite a few different hats. For example, we test drinking water, and oversee solid waste, sewage, permitting for food establishments, permits for water recreation facilities. We also do epidemiology work related to food borne and water borne illnesses. Why did you decide to serve on the CAC board?

• July 2nd and 9th from 4pm – 6pm • July 16th and 23rd from 12pm – 2pm • Thursday, August 1st 3:30pm – 6pm

Community Food Community Food Need Remains High Over Summer Break Please donate food to Community Food over the summer months!

I was asked by Troy Henderson if I had interest in serving. Community Action Center’s work goes along with our work in environmental health. We are all over the county in small towns; we have a good idea of what’s going on in the county in regards to healthy food and housing. For example, right now we are working with the City of Garfield to get a farmers’ market going. In our day-to-day work, we see a lot of folks who come to Community Action Center for help. They may have a failing septic system, or use food pantries. What do you do in your free time?

At Community Food each summer, the shelves tend to empty out. While donations peak around Thanksgiving and Christmas, donation levels drop when residents leave over the summer. Community Food staff and volunteers see a greater need for food in the summer than in the winter.

I go camping. I like outdoor activities like rafting, hiking, and disc golf. I used to ski but my knees are shot. I got old!

What is your favorite movie?

I haven’t watched a movie for a while; I am not too much of a Kids experiencing poverty in Whitman County are usually enrolled in free meals at school, movie buff.

She said I was the mellowest boy to ever wear a cat cone (for 10 days)! Now that I have recovered, the vets say I will live a long and happy life. I just need YOU to welcome me into your heart—4-EVER.

Donations From Women’s Leadership Guild Event Awarded to Local Non-Profit The Pullman Regional Hospital Women’s Leadership Guild awarded $7,800 to the non-profit Families Together for People with Disabilities on Thursday, May 31 at the inaugural Girlfriends Gather event. The event drew 78 women who each made a $100 contribution to nominate an eligible non-profit of their choice to take home all donations. To be eligible, the non-profits must align with the mission to serve women’s and children’s health and wellness in Whitman, Latah, Nez Perce or Asotin County. “The gift from the Women’s Leadership Guild Girlfriends Gather event is about 10% of our operating budget,” said Karen Nelson, Executive Director of Families Together. “Due to necessary budget cuts, we were not going to be able to offer the summer day camps, but this gift is able to fund the summer camps. We’ll serve 2030 children per week. This is a great resource for parents and kids to connect in an organized play environment.” 22 non-profits were nominated at the event, and three were drawn at random to present their case. Karen Karpman, a member of the Pullman Regional Hospital Board of Commissioners, spoke on behalf of Families Together for People with Disabilities, sharing a personal story how her family benefitted from the organization. After the three presentations, all attendees submitted their vote for one of the three. “It was exciting for the Women’s Leadership Guild to be showing leadership in our community for women’s involvement in philanthropy, said Angie Feuerstein, Chair of the Women’s Leadership Guild. “The Girlfriends Gather event was an opportunity for women in our community to experience the joy of giving as a group.” More information can be found online at www.pullmanregional.org/wlg.

Virtual Interpreter helps with patient communication When it comes to healthcare, communication is critical. We are excited to implement a new on-demand, HIPAAcompliant interpretation service called Martti to help providers communicate effectively with patients who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have limited English proficiency. The new system serves as an interpreter on wheels, providing access to certified medical interpreters at the touch of a button. Martti stands for “My Accessible, Real-Time Trusted Interpreter.” The system has more than 250 languages available for interpretation, including sign language. Patients can either choose their preferred language from the list provided by Martti or by selecting an area on the interactive map. They will then be instantly connected with a certified medical interpreter through audio and/or video depending on the need.

Empowering High School Athletes Story by Avista Every time a player on the Gar-Pal High School boys basketball team ran across the court, jumped for a ball, and made a basket during the State B Tournament, Amy Garrison was there, watching the team like a hawk. Amy is an athletic trainer with The Pullman Regional Hospital Orthopedic Center of Excellence and works with the Gar-Pal School District to make sure every student-athlete receives personalized athletic training care, support, and guidance. “It’s so rewarding. I feel like all the students are my adoptive kids,” said Amy Garrison. Amy is one of five trainers with the Regional High School Athletic Training Program, a program made possible by Pullman Regional Hospital’s Orthopedic Center of Excellence and supported by donations. The program serves four rural school districts. In many small towns, access to immediate health care means driving to the next city.

Pullman Regional Hospital recently partnered with Pullman OB/GYN to provide this service on-site at their Pullman clinic in the Professional Mall. As a man, if you experience urinary incontinence, constipation, fecal incontinence, or pain in the pelvic region, penis, or testicles, it may be a type of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. A high percentage of men will experience incontinence post prostatectomy.

Rory Fletcher, DPT

A feature of the Pelvic Physical Therapy program is rehabilitative ultrasound which provides real-time assessment of pelvic floor muscles. Thank you to the Pullman Regional Hospital Auxiliary for its financial support of this service.

Rory Fletcher, DPT, has specialized training in the assessment and treatment of these conditions and is here to help men of all ages regain function without limitation from pelvic pain or urinary incontinence.

Pet Safe July 4 Across the U.S., neighbors and communities come together to celebrate Independence Day each year. Unfortunately, these celebrations can cause pets to run, hide, or exhibit fearful behavior. According to PetAmberAlert. com, lost pet reports increase by 30 percent following the 4th of July. It’s easy to help keep pets safe and secure over the coming holiday. • Plan ahead. Pullman City Code 3.16.015(8) allows lawful discharge of consumer fireworks between 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. on July 3rd and from 9 a.m. to midnight on July 4th. Make sure that pets are indoors early, especially before large public fireworks displays. • Make your pet as comfortable as possible. If possible, make sure that pets have company and easy access

to a comfortable and familiar space, such as their crate or favorite room. • Close the blinds and make sure that windows, doors, and gates are secure. • Consider masking fireworks noise by closing windows, playing music, or turning on the television. • Some pets are more anxious than others. If necessary, consider boarding your beloved critter during fireworks discharge hours. • In the event that your pet runs in response to fireworks, remember that the chances of having them returned to you by a civilian or city official is much greater if they are wearing a collar with tags, or are microchipped. • If you lose (or find) a pet over the 4th of July holiday, please call the Whitcom dispatch center at (509) 332-2521 so that an officer can assist.

Historic Pullman walking tour For a self-paced tour of historic places sponsored by the city’s Historic Preservation Commission, come to downtown Pullman on Friday, July 26, between 6 and 8 p.m. The tour will begin at the Pullman Depot Heritage Center, located at 330 N Grand Avenue. Volunteers and members of the Historic Preservation Commission will be at selected locations downtown to explain the history of the Umpqua Bank building, Pullman Depot Heritage Center, Star Route and several other resources of historic significance. Walk at your own pace as you learn about Pullman’s past as reflected in its historic structures. Please arrive for the tour wearing weatherappropriate clothing no later than 7:30 p.m. It will take at least half an hour to complete the tour. This tour can also be found on the Clio historic preservation app. For more information, please visit www.theclio.com. Join the Historic Preservation Commission for this fascinating glimpse into our city’s past!

Goal suggestions? Those who reside and conduct business in Pullman know best about Pullman issues that can be addressed and resolved by local city government. Likewise they often have a perspective and solution ideas that the city hasn’t thought of. In 2018, the Mayor and City Council received input from residents, businesses, and other civic groups to help inform their planning strategy. At their regular meeting of Tuesday, August 28, 2018, City Council adopted their 2018-19 strategic priorities and goals—a mix of short-, medium- and long-term items. (These are posted on the city website www.pullman-wa.gov under Announcements.) We’re coming to you to find out if there are emergent issues that you’d like to see the city to consider as priorities. If yes, let us know what they are and if you’ve thought of solutions, tell us those as well. So that we receive your suggestions by July 31, use the website contact form at https://bit.ly/2Wikvx7 or send your suggestions to: Office of the Mayor • 325 SE Paradise St • Pullman, WA 99163

Fireworks: It matters. Do you know when to buy? What to possess? When to light? July 1, 2019, marks the opening of several fireworks stands in Pullman. It will then be legal to purchase fireworks in town. However, it is still not legal to discharge or use these fireworks until July 3. In 2006, the city of Pullman passed an ordinance limiting the time to discharge consumer fireworks to: • July 3rd between the hours of 9 a.m. and 11 p.m. • July 4th between the hours of 9 a.m. and midnight Any discharge of fireworks outside this time period is a violation of the fireworks ordinance and could result in a civil penalty of $100. All fireworks stands in Pullman city limits have been inspected and are only selling legal fireworks. Therefore, if you purchase fireworks in Pullman, you may set them off in Pullman. If you purchase them outside of the city, buyer beware! Two of the most popular fireworks that are illegal are firecrackers and bottle rockets. Possession of illegal fireworks is a criminal misdemeanor. Also, individual fireworks are not allowed in Sunnyside Park during the community celebration, which is being held on Thursday, July 4. For public safety and to safeguard school facilities, school property is off limits to fireworks. The Pullman School District has asked the Pullman Police Department to enforce this fireworks restriction. Pullman Police Officers will be actively patrolling for fireworks violations and have been instructed to assertively enforce the fireworks ordinance. Those found with illegal fireworks, or discharging fireworks outside of the allowable time periods, can expect a citation.

22 Pullman Community Update

GLADISH COMMUNITY & CULTURAL CENTER

JULY 2019

Shannon joins Gladish Board Anna Marie Shannon, associate director for the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at WSU, has joined the Friends of Gladish Board of Directors. Shannon is not new to the Gladish center.

Anna Marie Shannon, new member of Gladish Board of Directors.

“This is my second time to serve on the Gladish Board but I have more experience and more ideas than before,” she said. And she plans to get started right away.

Shannon’s first activities will be to update the strategic plan, create a new website, and develop a marketing plan and promotion. She was born at Williams Air Force Base in Chandler, Ariz. After graduation from Saguaro High School in Scottsdale, Ariz., she joined the Air Force (like her father). “I paid for school while on active duty and graduated from the University of Puget Sound and then earned a master’s degree from WSU while working full time at the Museum of Art/WSU.” The family came to Pullman from Jackson Hole, Wyo., when her husband, Garren Shannon, was hired by WSU. “We moved here on Halloween 1995 with a dog, and our two boys, then 2 and 2 months!” she said. “It seems like yesterday.”

Miles Harder, son of David and Jenny Harder, refurbished Gladish’s front sign as part of the requirements for Eagle rank in Scouting. Among other scouts and family members helping were brother Wade, center, and Isaac Cook, an Eagle scout. All are part of Troop 460. Harder, a 2019 Pullman High grad, plans to study law enforcement.

Montessori readies children for kindergarten

She admits she has little free time but “I do fill my life with things I love: gardening, working with artists and, most importantly, giving back to my community. “I love Pullman and have served on several boards and many programs for our community. Gladish is my latest passion and I plan on working incredibly hard to ensure we have a Performing Arts Center. Gladish is THE community and cultural center of Pullman, Shannon said, adding “I am committed to moving the board’s new mission, vision and goals forward with my full enthusiasm!”

Camps continue at Rising Stars Rising Stars dance studio is offering a tap and gymnastics camp July 15-16. A hip hop camp that includes street dance to theatrical dance is July 22-23. Closing up the summer is a cheerleading and gymnastics camp Aug.14-15. Check with the studio, Gladish 315, for exact times of camps. Its contact number is (509) 432-6961. Website: www.RisingStarsStudio.com.

Band opens Pullman July 4 celebration The Community Band of the Palouse will begin celebrating its 45 years of music-making on the Palouse with a performance at Sunnyside Park July 4 at 5:30 p.m. Its summer schedule includes 11 a.m. July 6 at Moscow Farmers Market and 6:00 p.m. July 10 at Reaney Park. The Reaney Park performance is its "birthday bash," said Denise Snider, musical director. The band, with guest conductor Andrew Mielke, will honor the legacy of its founder, Dana Cleveland, as well as founding members who are still a part of the group.

Off to Pullman Parks for a Montessori Wander Week activity.

The Montessori School of Pullman opened its summer camp with a Big Kids’ Wander Week for students getting ready to enter kindergarten. Each day, with packs on their backs, they set off to explore Pullman. The group walked to Reaney Park, Sunnyside Park and Kruegel Park, explored the trails along the river, ate lunch downtown and explored the WSU campus. Beginning this August, the Montessori School will have a third room in Gladish for 3-6 year olds to enjoy fun and learning, the Montessori way. With the expansion, the school still have space available for additional students, both full and part-time. Call (509) 334 4114 or email Montessori@pullman.com to arrange a tour of the school, playground and gym, and a chance to watch the teachers and children working together in the classroom.
