NEXT ERA OF EXCELLENCE Hospital will ask community to support the Next Era of Excellence In December, the Pullman Regional Hospital Board of Commissioners approved a proposal to put a 25 year, $29 million bond on the ballot in April for public vote. The bond would help fund the Next Era of Excellence initiative, which includes building a 45,000 square foot health pavilion next to the hospital that would house a Center for Women’s & Children’s Health, physician offices, space for a rural residency program, a clinical simulation training lab and other outpatient services. The total cost of the project is projected to be $40 million and includes the development and implementation of a community wide electronic medical record, remodeling of some of the existing hospital and upgrades to technology and medical equipment. Those living within the hospital boundaries or Pullman city limits are eligible to vote in this special election. For more information on the Next Era of Excellence, visit www.pullmanregional.org.

PULLMAN CAMPUS
Undoing the Greatest Mistake of My Life A Learning Journey, Part 1, by Enkhee Engels In January 2013 I did not work, so I had free time. I wanted to improve my English, so I started to look for an ESL class in town but the only one I found was too expensive. Thank goodness that I had a friend, Lillian, who lived in Pullman for a long time and usually had answers to all my questions. One day she came to take me to the SFCC Pullman Campus. I discovered they did not have an ESL class, but they did have Adult Basic Education. On my first visit, I came expecting to attend class, but quickly learned that I had to take some tests. I found the Math test quite easy until I got to the problems with sentences instead of numbers. I had to guess on most of these questions because I didn’t understand what the questions were about. The English test was very much the same, a matter of guessing more than anything else. When I finished all of the tests, I was told to come the next day to start the ABE class. One day I noticed a sign, “GED,” on the wall of the ABE classroom. I became excited as I read that the GED program was being offered here. I was like a person who had been starving for a long time and suddenly sees food.. When I asked my instructor, Dyan Bledsoe, when I could start attending the GED preparation class, she told me I could start this very day, if I wanted. I could not believe my ears! I repeated my question more than once just to make sure I understood her right. After a week I began attending the English class at 9-11am and GED from 11-1pm. I really enjoyed my English class. My classmates were mature adults from countries around the world: Turkey, Columbia, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Afghanistan, China, Ukraine, Argentina, India, Uzbekistan, Brazil, and Kenya. And they were all intent on learning. There was no idle chatter or distracting noises during the class. I felt like I was in a Heaven. Going from the English class to GED right after that was like stepping from paradise into the Black Market. Most of my GED classmates were younger, local students working on different exams and our instructor kept hopping from desk to desk to answer questions. The class was so noisy I could not concentrate, but I had no other option if I was going to earn my GED certificate. In taking the English and GED classes, I was “shooting two rabbits with one bullet,” as Mongolians say, because I needed to improve my English in order to take the tests. Dyan had informed us that the GED program that had been used for the last decade would undergo major revision by the end of the year. The tests would be harder and would require more preparation. I had only 11 months to pass all five tests.
By the Numbers 313: Fall ’18, record for quarterly enrollment at SFCC Pullman!
SFCC Welcome By Patrick Forster, SFCC Pullman Assistant Dean With the arrival of the new year, I have been reflecting on how two of our college’s core themes, broad access and student achievement, are vibrantly reflected in the work and lives of our students. I marvel at the very diverse experiences and backgrounds our students bring to our campus, how they find the right starting point for their studies and how they commit fully to their studies. Yes, our caring and award-winning faculty and staff support deeply the pathways and successes of our students; but it is our amazing group of students who fulfill the promise of studying at our college as well as their personal aspirations. And I am grateful for the Filipino proverb our student Elizabeth Tompos quoted and translated for me: “If you plant nothing, you harvest nothing.” In the spirit of opportunity and accountability, let’s work together to make 2019 a year of continued growth and achievement. If you have a question or suggestion for the role of SFCC programs in the Pullman community, please email me at Patrick.Forster@sfcc. spokane.edu.
Enkhee Engels has lived in Pullman with her family since moving from Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2012. She currently works as an Office Assistant at the SFCC Pullman Campus.
Otherwise, with even one test remaining, I would need to start all over again from square one. I was overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. I might have remained in this stressed state and never gotten my GED, but then Dyan gave me some very good advice: “start with my strong subject and continue from there.”

Pullman Community Update 9
WSU School of Music starts new year with Faculty Artist Series
Dear Dr. Universe: What are crystals? Who discovered them? -Kennedy, 9, Little Rock, AK Dear Kennedy, Maybe you’ve caught a snowflake on your tongue. Or sprinkled salt on your food. Perhaps you’ve imagined what it would be like to explore a big crystal cave. Crystals come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. A lot of them are born from hot magma, deep in the Earth that cools slowly. If you look at a rock, you might even be able to spot some of these crystals. We can find crystals in nature, but engineers and scientists can also make them in labs. My friend Kelvin Lynn, a materials engineer, is really curious about crystals. He makes them in his lab here at Washington State University. Lynn explained that crystals are made up of atoms. The atoms are arranged in very particular ways. In order to be a crystal, these atoms have to form a pattern. When scientists see this pattern happening throughout a solid, they call it a crystal lattice.
Faculty Artist Series: Palouse Trio Jan. 18, 8 p.m. Bryan Hall Theatre The Palouse Trio, comprised of WSU School of Music faculty members Meredith Arksey, violin, Ruth Boden, cello, and Jeffrey Savage, piano, will be joined by Sophia Tegart, flute, for an evening of delightful chamber music. The first work, Telemann's Tafelmusik for flute, violin, cello and harpsichord will feature the beautiful new harpsichord donated to the WSU School of Music by David Benson. Next is a lively, but lesser-known work, Trio-Miniaturen for violin, cello and piano by the Russian-born Swiss composer, Paul Juon. The program culminates in the beloved Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano, Op. 8 in B Major by Johannes Brahms. Faculty Artist Series: Cantiamo! presents Nature in Song Jan. 25, 8 p.m. Bryan Hall Theatre The WSU School of Music voice faculty ensemble, Cantiamo! will present their annual concert in January. Joining together to perform a diverse program around the theme of Nature in Song, the concert will feature German repertoire by Schubert, Schumann, Brahms and Mendelssohn; French music by Fauré, Ravel and Poulenc; Polish and Czech folksongs by Gorecki and Dvorak; and English selections by Vaughan Williams and Stroope. The ensemble is comprised of Julie Anne Wieck (soprano), Lori Wiest (mezzo-soprano), Aaron Agulay (tenor), and Christopher Nakielski (baritone). Collaborating with the singers will be Karen Savage on piano and Shannon Scott on clarinet.
The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at WSU will be opening two new exhibitions in January. Both will run for several months this spring. For more information about all exhibitions visit http://museum.wsu.edu.
Understanding a material’s structure can help scientists learn more how a material behaves, Lynn explained. If it will conduct electricity or heat, for example. In Lynn’s lab, they are curious about how crystals can be used to create power from sunlight.
Michael Schultheis: Venn Pirouettes Jan. 15 – June 29, 2019 Wright/Harmon Gallery Thursday Jan. 24, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m., Reception and Performance Artist and Washington State alumnus, Michael Schultheis finds dynamic synergies in the languages of math and art. An economist and mathematician, with experience in the academic and corporate worlds, Schultheis employs analytical formulae within his luminous paintings. While the equations themselves offer a form of mathematical purity, Schultheis’ art subjugates this precision into imperfect visions, leaving room for metaphor, storytelling, and beauty. His canvases often have the appearance of chalkboards filled progressively with mathematical notations and three-dimensional geometries,
Sincerely, Dr. Universe
Aaron Agulay, Julie Anne Wieck, Christopher Nakielski, Lori Wiest

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU opening two new exhibits
The opposite of a crystal is what scientists call an amorphous solid. The glass in our windows is one example. It has atoms that are not arranged in a pattern. They are much more scattered than the atoms of a crystal.
As for the second part of your question, the idea of crystals and their structures has been around for hundreds of years, Lynn adds. But it wasn’t until about the early 1900s that scientists could get a closer look with X-rays. Sir William Henry Bragg and his son were the first to use this technology to look at the structures of common crystals, including table salt.

that pay homage to Greek mathematicians Pythagoras, Plato, Aristotle, Euclid, and Archimedes. Fusing the abstract and observed, the rational and the experiential, Schultheis has forged an interdisciplinary, even holistic, practice, connecting us all in its expression. Social Space: Mark Bradford, Leonardo Drew, Julie Mehretu, and Wangechi Mutu From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Family Foundation Jan. 15 – Mar. 16, 2019 Bruce/Floyd Gallery and Borth Gallery Social Space brings together the work of four renowned American artists: Mark Bradford, Leonardo Drew, Julie Mehretu, and Wangechi Mutu. In their art, they share a commitment to abstraction, not only as a means of powerful image making, but also as a politically conscious act. In their depictions of labor, race, and conflict, these artists highlight sociopolitical markers and visual remnants of collective experience and the social fabric from which they emerged.

The board also shared evidence of good governance practices and effective leadership, as outlined in WSSDA standards for school boards. Superintendent Bob Maxwell said, “This honor is evidence that our board works as a team to prioritize our students and their success. I am privileged to work with a dedicated board that places such high value on students, staff, and the community. Please join me in giving the board congratulations for their significant efforts and achievement.”

What is PBIS? Pam Brantner, Sunnyside Elementary Principal Sunnyside Elementary School continues to work on and improve the implementation of PBIS. What is PBIS and how is it implemented at Sunnyside? PBIS stands for School Wide Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports (SWPBIS or PBIS). Sunnyside continues to strive to implement this framework to help students succeed at school. PBIS is improving student academics and behavior outcomes to ensure all students have access to the most effective and accurately implemented instructional, behavior practices, and interventions possible. This is accomplished by clearly teaching expectations to students. With clear, common expectations students are able to be successful in each classroom and all areas of the school. For example, as a whole school we establish with every student what is expected in the hallways. You can find signs identifying these behaviors to serve as reminders to students about what the expectations are. Students that follow the expectations are given positive praise and feedback with “STAR” cards for positive behaviors identified as being respectful, responsible, or safe. Students are able to submit their “star cards” to a weekly drawing. “STAR cards” can be very rewarding for students but also serve as a reminder to them that they are following the behavior expectations. This type of feedback serves as instruction and modeling to learners on how to manage their own behaviors. In addition to the “star cards” we also have monthly assemblies that focus on specific character traits that teachers teach to through the use of picture books and class discussion. The goal is for students to understand each desired trait, and to work to identify those traits in others as well as be a role model. Each month students are recognized and awarded in various ways during a “Shining Star” assembly. This is a time for all of us to celebrate all students as well as review expectations, and upcoming character traits!
Highly Capable Program Information Night on February 12, 2019 The Pullman School District Highly Capable Program Information Night will be held on February 12, 6:00-7:00pm, at Pullman High School.

Town Gown Collaborative
Working together to make Pullman an exceptional college town The Town Gown Collaborative Strengthens Community A Letter to You from Mayor Johnson and President Schulz
Pullman Residents, Strong town-gown relationships create strength for both partners. When one partner grows and prospers, so does the other.
Kirk H. Schulz
That’s one of the foundational principles driving the thriving partnership between Washington State University and the City of Pullman. And because of our shared belief in and commitment to that principle, we continue to be excited about the possibilities for our community as we advance the priorities outlined in our town-gown initiative. We believe the ingredients for a productive, ongoing town-gown collaboration are solidly in place: Communicate regularly and often; recognize that the health of one partner depends on the health of the other; consider issues from the perspective of both partners; when challenges occur, face them head on—together.
College Hill Matters First Impression Connectivity/Flow Downtown Focus Communications

Glenn A. Johnson
The Pullman community and Washington State University foster and maintain a strong relationship, characterized by high levels of communication and collaboration. Utilizing shared resources, both entities work together to identify opportunities, leverage resources, and address areas of improvement.
President Washington State University
Mayor City of Pullman
As a result of this strong relationship, Pullman is recognized as an exceptional college town.
Working together, the possibilities that await us are nearly endless. Glenn A. Johnson
The Town Gown Collaborative is a joint effort between the City of Pullman, Pullman Chamber of Commerce, and Washington State University, formed for the purpose of strengthening ties between town and gown for mutual benefit.

Adopt a Hydrant The arrival of cold weather means that firefighters frequently battle slippery roads, hidden hydrants, and frozen hose lines. Pullman Fire Department needs your help. If you have a fire hydrant on your property or in front of your house, please help us by shoveling a three-foot clear space in the snow around the hydrant. Doing so will make hydrants easier to locate and operate in an emergency.
Pets and Winter Weather Winter is here! While you are bundling your family in warm coats and gloves, Pullman PD reminds you to remember your four-legged friends. Winter weather can have a big impact on animals, bringing with it risks for hypothermia, frostbite, and other weather-related illnesses. Remember that the ears, tails, and noses are especially susceptible to cold. Here are a few ways to keep your dog safe and healthy this winter: 1. Dogs who will spend time outside should have easy access to warm, dry, and draft-free shelter. If he/she enjoys playing in the snow, it’s important to ensure that your pup’s fur gets completely dry. 2. Keep your dog trimmed so that snow and ice cannot build up between paw pads, or become matted in fur. 3. Remember that salt and de-icing products can also be harmful to pets, especially if ingested. Property owners should use products that are safe for use around pets. Pet owners are encouraged to wash paws with warm
water after time outdoors. Doggy boots also work well to protect your dog’s feet against winter walking hazards. 4. Bundle them up! Dogs with short or coarse hair are especially susceptible to cold. Consider a sweater or coat to keep them warm (and stylish). Please remember that these products can contribute to hypothermia should the animal become wet, so it is important to keep animals in sweaters/coats outdoors for short periods of time. In some cases, dogs may become tangled as they attempt to free themselves from clothing items. Although helpful in maintaining body heat, these items should be used under close supervision. Remember, your dog can’t tell you whether it is hot, cold, sick, or injured. If is up to you to make sure that your pet is properly cared for and to take measures to protect him/her against the elements!

The Pullman Good Food Co-op (PGFC) is a startup effort to open Pullman’s very own food cooperative. The PGFC is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide equitable access to healthy, affordable, quality food. To carry out our mission we are working to open a full-service grocery store, one in which we own together as a community where we offer affordable high-quality, local foods and goods, produced using earth-friendly methods and offering dynamic food learning opportunities. The PGFC will offer fresh, local produce, bulk items, beer and wine, a space for education opportunities, as well as a deli and bakery. While that’s a glimpse into what we will offer, we hope to go beyond our regular operations by offering programming and outreach around our local food system. We hope to support local organizations working to improve food access on the Palouse as well as supporting local growers and producers to make selling their goods even simpler. Our group began this process in January of this year, and in the last seven months we have accomplished two years’ worth of work thanks to the passion and dedication of our community and volunteers. We began by meeting with residents, students, and farmers as well as hosting discussion groups to better understand the need for a co-op in our community. Most telling was the survey conducted, resulting in 800 respondents within the Pullman area, which showed a strong desire from the community for our very own, Pullman-owned food cooperative. Since January we’ve met with many professionals and organizations who have helped gear us towards success. We officially incorporated through the state of Washington, were awarded the Community Investment Fund Grant, hosted the Co-optastic Carnival, conducted a market feasibility study, and most recently had the honor of presenting at the Pullman Chamber of Commerce luncheon. However, our proudest moments this far have been witnessing the outpour of support from the Pullman community. We were humbled when local farmers started reaching out, showing up to meetings, seeing how, in their little spare time they could help get the co-op started. We couldn’t believe the number of talented individuals who voluntarily offer their skills and knowledge to the co-op. We are so grateful to the local organizations who have offered resources and connections that have been integral to this process. Most unforgettable however, has been witnessing people’s eyes light up as we share with them the hopes and dreams of the PGFC because it illustrates how the coop is not just about a single individual or organization, but rather how the PGFC is here for us all, together as a community. So let’s work together to bring good food to Pullman. You can continue to follow our journey on social media, join our newsletter on our website, or volunteer your time or knowledge by joining a subcommittee. Most importantly, if you want to be a part of this journey of opening Pullman’s very own food cooperative, become a member today. You can find our membership application on our website.
