Updates on Orthopedic Center of Excellence • The Orthopedic Center of Excellence at Pullman Regional Hospital is growing to serve increased demand for orthopedic care provided by Dr. Tingstad, Dr. Pennington, and now Dr. Hazelwood. The expansion was a fundraising priority for 2019, and thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are on track to complete construction of a newly expanded space—about a total of 4,000 square feet—in March. The Orthopedic Center of Excellence is located on the first floor of Medical Office Building I and includes Inland Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine patient clinic and offices. • Philanthropy is also funding fullservice athletic training care to our local high schools, a service of the hospital’s Orthopedic Center of Excellence. • Starting in February, get to know orthopedic surgeons

Blake Brackin receives DAISY nurse recognition award
A Patient’s Story Being a professional truck driver is hard on your health. Just ask Leiontine Myers, who drives a truck with her husband, Jason, long distances every day. “We have all the issues of someone who sits in a wheelchair,” she said. “We sit for 14 hours and sleep for 10 hours.” Leiontine, who goes by Lee, said over the years working as a truck driver she kept putting on 10 or 15 pounds. With that weight gain comes a lot of health issues. Lee recently experienced one health issue when she and her husband were hauling a load from Portland to Seattle. “I was experiencing chest pain, acid reflux, and throwing up,” she said. They made it home to Lacrosse, where they live, but she was feeling awful. The next day they went to the emergency department at Colfax and tests concluded that she needed her gallbladder removed. She was sent to Pullman Regional Hospital for surgery. She stayed in the hospital for 3 ½ days to recover, during which time Blake Brackin, R.N., took care of her.
Blake Brackin, R.N., Medical Surgical Unit, recently received a DAISY Award, a nurse recognition program at Pullman Regional Hospital. The DAISY Award is an international program that recognizes nurses who go above and beyond to care for their patients. Blake was nominated for his calm, comforting presence, and for going out of his way to provide education and resources to help a patient and her family make healthier lifestyle changes during a recent hospital stay. The patient wrote, “All of the staff was amazing, but this young man stood out as a kind soul who loves the people he cares for. It was a pleasure meeting him, even under the circumstances.” (See side story) To learn more about the DAISY Award, or to nominate a nurse at Pullman Regional Hospital, please visit: https://pullmanregional.org/how-to-help/thank-your-provider/daisy-award.
“I had problems with the anesthesia and when I woke up, Blake was sitting right there for me,” she said. “He walked with me every day. We talked like we were old friends.” Lee explains how helpful Blake was by “hooking me up with a number of things,” like financial services, social services, and smoking cessation to name a few. “My doctor was great and the other nurses were great but Blake just really stood out,” she said. Lee nominated Blake for DAISY Award, an international recognition program for nurses. Blake was the recipient of the DAISY Award in November 2019.

BOARD REPORT
Pullman Public Schools: Bond and Levy Information Levy Information Pullman Public Schools has a strong legacy of community support. We are extremely grateful community members within Pullman School District have consistently supported our bond and levy ballot measures. School district levy taxes help bridge the gap between the funding we receive from the state and the actual cost of operating our schools. Our current levy that helps bridge this gap in funding to support our local schools expires in December 2020. On February 11, 2020 voters will be asked to consider a replacement levy to continue with the district’s current level of local funding. The state has established new guidelines related to school levies, which means that our levy measures on local ballots will look different in 2020. Two main changes include: 1. The name of our primary levy was previously known as the Maintenance and Operations or “M & O” levy. It will now be referred to as an Enrichment Levy. 2. In 2016 we combined the Maintenance and Operations Levy ($5,300,000) with the Technology Levy ($200,000) totaling $5.5 million a year. Due to recent legislative changes, the February 11, 2020 ballot will separate these two levies again. You will see a ballot measure for the Enrichment Levy and one for the Technology Levy as had been done in previous years. While there are two levies on the ballot, the amount of funding requested remains the same since 2014. Proposed REPLACEMENT Levies • Enrichment Levy...... $5,300,000 a year for four years • Technology Levy...... $200,000 a year for four years
Bond Information Our community support extends to our school facilities. As our district has grown, the community has supported the district to accommodate this growth through the approval of bonds that help us fund new construction and building renovations to serve our students. The most recent bonds enabled us to add six additional classrooms to Franklin Elementary, reconstruct Pullman High School, and build our fourth elementary school, Kamiak Elementary. We also added four additional classrooms at Jefferson Elementary through non-voted debt. We are thankful, and don’t take for granted, a community that places a high importance on education. We’ve addressed the significant population growth at our high school and elementary schools, and face a shortage of space at our middle school. In late spring a Capital Projects Advisory Committee (CPAC) was formed consisting of community members, Lincoln Middle School staff and administrators, and district staff members. This committee reviewed student enrollment numbers, facility needs, bond financing and community surveys and staff/parent/community forum input to develop a bond recommendation to the school board. We sincerely appreciate the substantial commitment required of the committee. This team worked many hours to put together a proposal that would address our facility needs, while still having little to no impact on our community’s taxes. With their final proposal of $15 million in funding, we can address overcrowding and safety issues at Lincoln Middle School, and upgrade the HVAC systems at Jefferson, Franklin and Sunnyside elementary schools, which has been a frequently voiced request by our students, staff, parents, and community members. Lincoln Middle School was expanded and upgraded in 2005 to accommodate up to 600 students. The bond that funded that expansion will expire in December 2020. We now have the opportunity to address facility needs at Lincoln Middle School without increasing the current rate per thousand dollars of assessed property value. If approved, the requested $15 million 20-year bond would take effect January of 2021. Due to the current increase in Pullman’s assessed property valuation, the tax rate for the 2021 bond will be the same tax rate per thousand dollars as 2019, which means there will not be an increase in your tax rate. Any registered voter who resides within the Pullman School District will have the opportunity to vote on the replacement enrichment levy, replacement technology levy and the bond for the renovation and expansion at Lincoln Middle School and the cooling system additions for Jefferson, Franklin and Sunnyside elementary schools. Who may vote on the three ballot measures on February 11, 2020? Any community member registered to vote and resides within the Pullman School District. Bond & Levy Info Continued on Page 7

Pullman School District Board of Directors Named 2019 Board of Distinction The Pullman School District Board of Directors is one of just 34 school boards in the state to receive the 2019 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. The Pullman School District board applied for the recognition earlier this fall, submitting extensive data and narrative essays showing the board’s effort to close the Opportunity Gap for our students and discussing how the board uses data to inform decisions. 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.” Pullman School District Board of Directors: Dr. Jim Evermann, Dr. Allison MunchRotolo, Nathan Roberts, Amanda Tanner, Susan Weed The Pullman School Board has been named a Board of Distinction 6 of the last 7 years

From the Classroom
Pullman faculty member Kelley Cullen received her PhD in economics from Washington State University. Her specialty areas are labor and sports economics, and she is teaching macro—and micro-economics at our campus. Dr. Cullen shared her perspective on teaching and research in her field:
(my whole Irish family is as well) so I would hope students would find it hard to sleep in my class.
What development in your field of practice and expertise excites you?
Staying abreast of the global economy and especially our domestic macroeconomy is so What do you love about teaching? much more exciting thanks to the availability I love seeing students experience what I call and accessibility of vast amounts of economic data. In the past if a student asked how many "lightbulb" moments when major concepts new jobs were created last year, I would suddenly come together or click. Their eyes have to reply, "Let me look that up and get light up and they smile. This is especially rewarding if a student has been working very back to you." Today, I simply walk over to the computer in the classroom, navigate to the hard or even struggling a little. BLS website and a couple clicks later show the What can students look forward to in your students the answer and the accompanying classes? graph. I would hope that students respond Do you have any recent or upcoming positively to my energy and enthusiasm for publications, presentations or speaking my subject. I think sometimes economists have a reputation for being dry or boring and engagements related to your SFCC teaching? I am an avid sports economist and this I try to contradict that. I am naturally very loud
Winter Calendar
summer had the opportunity to participate in the Hometown Sports traveling exhibit of the Smithsonian Institute that was hosted at the Spokane Public Library. I spoke on "The Economic Impact of Hometown Sports in Spokane." I enjoy doing research with students and am currently working on publishing an article on the seasonality of charitable giving with a former student who is now in his first year of grad school at WSU - Pullman. What didn’t we ask you? As a sports economist, I often get asked, "Which is your favorite sport?" Although I am very passionate about ALL college athletics, my two favorites are volleyball (Go Sasquatch!) and hockey! As to hobbies / recreational activities, I am lucky enough to still be able to play volleyball, softball and I am an avid runner. I enjoy my weekly runs with the Flightless Birds Running Club of Cheney—if you're in town, come join us!

2019 Chamber Award Recipients Hall of Fame, Historical: Mike Rydbom
Sayles Insurance was part of the founding of the Pullman Chamber and as President of AIA Insurance and son-in-law to Ivan Sayles, Mike Rydbom made sure that they continued to be a long-time members. Of course, Mike was also part of the Chamber while he worked with his father-in-law at Sayles Insurance. The firm was started in 1939 and according to Mike’s wife, Carol, the office was affiliated as members of the Chamber for as far back as she can recall. Mike served on various Chamber committees throughout those years, including Artesians where he welcomed new businesses and attended open houses for businesses on behalf of the Chamber. He was also in charge of building and maintaining the “float” for the Pullman Junior Miss representatives (that became “Young Woman of the Year” and then the “Distinguished Young Women” program”). The float that Mike was in charge of had its genesis in the Pullman Lions Club and eventually morphed into the Chamber of Commerce. There are lots of photos of Mike with Pullman’s representatives at local and regional events throughout the years. Though not specific to the Chamber, Mike also chaired many levees and fundraisers for groups such as the Pullman School District and United Way. He served on the Pullman Education Foundation board and as President of the board. Overall, Mike was a HUGE proponent of supporting Pullman businesses in many intangible ways and believed strongly in the mission and work of the Pullman Chamber of Commerce. In his quiet way, he often mentored young and new businessmen and women in the community and educated them about the vital importance of being a part of the Chamber, as well as what it means to have local pride. Being a part of the strong fabric of the Pullman business community for 40 years, he also was able to encourage and assist newer businesses to “stay the course”.
Hall of Fame, Modern: Community Band of the Palouse
The Community Band of the Palouse, nicknamed C-BOP, was founded in 1974 by Pullman High School band director Dana Cleveland. In recent years, the band has served a variety of roles in local communities. The band instituted a Family Concert which features an “instrument petting zoo” with the help of Keeney Brothers music and the sponsorship of the Pullman Kiwanis Club. Children get to hear and play musical instruments. The Veterans Day concert this past year honored the 100th anniversary of the American Legion, the local Maynard-Price Post 52 and WSU Student Veterans. Both the Veterans Day and Holiday concerts feature collection of non-perishable food items that are taken to local food banks. The band also participated in the opening of the new runway at the Pullman-Moscow regional airport in collaboration with the Pullman High School band. The band performs in outdoor summer concerts, with sub-group the Auf Gehts Band performing at local Octoberfests and festive and charitable events, like the Rotary Spaghetti Feed, Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast, Music on Main to name just a few. Another sub-group, CBOP Senior, takes music into local care homes and facilities. Current director Denise Snider is grateful for the generous cooperation of the members of the band, the support of the local community and everyone who has given financial support, and for this recognition from the Pullman Chamber of Commerce.
organization, we believe in doing all that we can to help our patients achieve their health and wellness goals, while striving to recapture the "heart" of practicing medicine. The clinic also emphasizes learning and research by including University of Washington WWAMI (whammy) medical students as volunteers. All-volunteer, the Clinic tries to be open 2 times each month for a couple of hours, and in those hours, the providers can see 10-12 people, first come-first served. Usually, there are only 2 providers—or one—at the clinic, with a few volunteers. Sharon also provides substantial time and talent with her graphic expertise for the Circles of Caring quarterly newsletter. Sharon has been very active with the PRH Auxiliary serving now as president. She is active in her LDS church especially with its outreach to students. Sharon was the president of Circles of Caring for several years and is now serving as vice president. However, she serves above and beyond with her time, talent and resources. She oversees the development of their t-shirts and signage for the tennis/pickleball tournament along with so much more. A board member says, “It’s nice to see Sharon and Steve are being recognized.”We couldn’t agree more.
Chamber Member of the Year: Mike & Sue Hinz, distinguished residents
Mike and Sue Hinz have left an indelible imprint on Pullman. Sue’s community involvement includes serving on the Pullman City Council from 1997 to 2005, and as president of both the Pullman Education Foundation and the Pullman Chamber of Commerce. Her volunteer outreach to the community includes Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation board, Gladish Community and Cultural Center, Pullman High Boosters Club, handling public relations for Pullman’s Distinguished Young Woman of the Year program, as the “Cotton Candy Queen” at Pullman’s Fourth of July in the Park celebration, and as advisor of her sorority—Alpha Omicron Pi. Mike has recently been a volunteer driver for COAST. The non-profit service provides homebound and elderly transportation to medical appointments and treatments as far away as Lewiston-Clarkston and Spokane. But Mike found his “real calling” as Track and Field Coach at Pullman High School in 1993. Both he and Sue have been key movers with the Comets, a popular summer Track & Field club for participants of all ages. Mike has also refereed area prep football contests since 1976. Sue and Mike continue as sideline crew volunteers at Cougar home football games. They also officiate WSU track and field meets. Mayor Johnson says, “Mike has done so much with Pullman High and youth track and field” and since at least 1998, Sue has been involved in Pullman’s 4th of July Celebration with cotton candy and made it a family affair! Mike and Sue have been instrumental in the success of the very popular cotton candy stand at the celebration but have given many other volunteer hours. Mike and Sue are community members you can trust to step up when needed and to quietly serve the community that they love.
Civic Improvement Award: Pullman Schools Food Pantry Program
Pullman Schools Pantry program was started in April 2017 by a group of PTA moms: Meg Gollnick, Linhda Sagen, Jane Sielken and Kirstin Lightfoot. It started with $100 from Jefferson PTA and a dream to provide a resource to help food insecure students when free or reduced lunch and breakfast was not available - mainly weekend supplemental food. In 2017, Jefferson and Franklin Elementary Schools participated in a pilot program. They were quickly able to include Lincoln Middle School. As of today, through community support, food drives, fundraising and grants, they are established at every school in the Pullman School District. Currently, the program services around 200 students weekly during the school year. The Pullman Schools Pantry Program has received two awards: In 2018 they received the WA State Governor's Service Award and WSU's Leadership Community Partner Award. Lynda Sagen adds that they are fortunate to live in a community that supports their efforts to provide this program. Program board members include Hillary Gauthier, Kirstin Lightfoot, Cindy Nazerali, Cori Dantini, Chelsie Dusek, Kerry Nestegard and Jessica Perone.
Marshall A Neill Community Service Award: Stephen & Sharon Hall (Palouse Free Clinic)
Dr. Stephen Hall and wife Sharon were motivated to open a free clinic. The need to give back, to have an opportunity to teach upcoming medical practitioners, and to fill a much- needed resource for healthcare in our community are their main reasons for spending so much time and energy to the Palouse Free Clinic. The Clinic opened in Spring 2014 and provides primary care for acute and chronic conditions for anyone who walks through the clinic doors. Dr. Hall and Sharon helped others involved put in 540 volunteer hours in 2018. Dr. Hall says, “as a volunteer

Pets and Winter Weather Winter is here. While you are bundling your family in warm coats and gloves, Pullman PD reminds you to consider your four-legged friends. Winter weather can bring exposure risks such as hypothermia, frostbite, or other environmental hazards. Remember that pets’ ears, tails, and noses are especially susceptible to cold. Here are a few ways to keep your dog safe and healthy this winter: 1. Pets that will spend time outside should have easy access to warm, dry, and draft-free shelter. While outside for long periods of the day, it is important to ensure that pets have a place to get completely out of the weather to get dry and warm. 2. Make sure outdoor pets have access to a clean, unfrozen water source. 3. Make sure snow and ice do not build up between paw pads, or become matted in fur. 4. Remember that salt and de-icing products can be irritating to the skin, and harmful if digested. Consider products that are safe for use around pets and rinse paws with warm water after time outdoors. Doggy boots also work well to protect your dog’s feet against winter walking hazards. 5. Bundle them up! If you like to put a coat or sweater on your dog to keep them warm (and stylish), remember that these products can contribute to hypothermia if the animal/ clothing become wet. In some cases, dogs may become entangled in clothing items as they attempt to free themselves. Although helpful in maintaining body heat, pet clothing should be used under close supervision. Remember, your pet cannot tell you whether it is hot, cold, sick, or injured. It is up to you to make sure that your pet is properly cared for and to take measures to protect it against the elements.
COMMUNITY ACTION CENTER
18 Pullman Community Update
JANUARY 2020
The Food & Shelter Folks Thank You to Community Donors! Thank you to all of the individuals, businesses, and foundations that donated to Community Action Center in 2019. We are so grateful for your commitment to building a resilient community on the Palouse! Your donations make healthy food and healthy, safe homes available for local people experiencing poverty.
Whitman County Health Network
Board Member Paula Speaks Up for People in Poverty Meet Community Action Center’s newest board member, Paula Laney, who accepted a board position in November 2019. I am the face and voice of poverty, and it doesn’t look like what you would think. This time last year, I was homeless. I was trying to navigate the health system, social security system for disability benefits, and DSHS for food assistance. My whole life up to that point had been history of success and living quite well, giving to charities, never having thought I would be on the other side. I had been an independent woman who had been in the hospitality industry as a sommelier for 30 years. Suddenly my health took a turn for the worse, and I went through my savings and lost everything within three years. When I couldn’t do my job anymore, it was heartbreaking. Figuring out what was wrong with my body at the same time was a whole other matter and I spiraled personally. It brought me to my knees, and I was completely broken. By pure luck I found a lovely lady in Colfax who runs DSHS, she introduced me to Jeff Tietjen at Community Action Center. To say I am grateful one year later is an understatement. It was lifesaving, what they did for me. Community Action Center helped me find a home and a little food assistance. The people
I am honored and proud to be part of this board because of their strength, hands-on approach, and ownership of this city and county. I want to be a positive presence and build communication between the agency and people receiving help. My mission is to create a local solution for good affordable housing. I can be a voice for people who are fearful or feel they don’t have a voice. We all have different stories, but ended up in a similar place, alone, broken, and in a system that doesn’t work. I am especially interested in landlord/tenant relations and tenant rights for Section 8. For example, senior citizens have fear of retaliation by landlords if they speak up on the quality of their housing, afraid they will lose their home. I have the courage, the desire, and the voice to help heal what is broken. there truly cared. My experience up that point with agencies had been jumping through hoops and being on the phone for the 100th time. The paperwork alone is overwhelming. Community Action Center’s approach was so personal, I let my guard down. It changed what I thought about accepting help. My health is getting much better, and I have a roof over my head. I went from being broken, unable to socialize, to lifting my head up.
Community Food The Community Food Bank is in need of the following donations: • Toilet paper • Soap/Shampoo/Conditioner • Deodorant • Sugar
• Chunky soups • Refried beans/pinto beans • Fresh produce • Meats (fresh/frozen)
You can bring donations to 350 SE Fairmont Road in Pullman weekdays from 8:00-4:00 (closed for lunch 12:00-1:00).
To people who need help, I am here to say there is help! Put your hand out and take the other hand. It is not a negative thing to accept help; It’s not as frightening as you think. What has happened to you is negative, but when you reach out for help, life can move forward in a positive direction. Six months from now, you can be in a completely different space mentally, spiritually, and financially. Keep working and believing in yourself....
