The National LWV has had a strong position supporting this since 1993. Place: Umpqua Bank, Community Room, 225 N. Grand, Pullman

HOW TO RUN FOR LOCAL OFFICE Date: Monday, April 2, 7:00-9:00 p.m. Social Half-Hour with snacks at 6:30 p.m. Facilitators: JUDY MEUTH & LIBBY WALKER Place: Umpqua Bank, Community Room, 225 N. Grand, Pullman Date: Thursday, March 15, 12 noon – 1:00 p.m. Program: MEET PULLMAN’S CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS DAN RECORDS & BRANDON CHAPMAN Congregational Church, Opal and Campus, Pullman Free parking in church parking lot west of building!

IN THE SPOTLIGHT LIBBY WALKER retired in 2013 after a 30 year career as a faculty member at WSU. She began as a classroom teacher of political science under the mentorship of Professors Wallie Peterson and John Pierce. Libby loved teaching and offered courses in all aspects of state, local, and national government. For the second half of her career, she moved to administration in the Honors College and retired as Dean. She loved working with gifted students and the faculty who were selected to offer the Honors courses. She was instrumental in revising the curriculum for the College, including adding a foreign language requirement. Libby joined the League of Women Voters and became an active member upon retirement, although she had been a long time admirer of this important organization. The League offered many opportunities to become involved including developing monthly programs, attending regional and national conferences, and serving as secretary, an executive team member, and as the first person to fill the role of Community Outreach Coordinator. She believes that the League is a vital organization within Pullman and serves the important function of educating voters. “Through noon Brown Bag presentations, monthly evening programs, and civics education classes at Pullman High School and in the community, the League provides valuable information to current and future voters. Now more than ever, it is extremely important that all residents of Pullman be aware of the issues confronting our community as well as the state of Washington and our nation.”

By Mary Collins Volunteers with Backyard Harvest gleaning fruit for local food pantries.

Between 8,000 and 10,000 citizens of Whitman County are food insecure. The number is elusive as quantitative information such as household income is clouded by things such as student households, not all of whom rely on “income” for what they have to spend on food. Entities that use public funds keep records of those who receive assistance but private organizations may not. The network of public and private organizations as well as more informal food distribution efforts is large and complex. What is clear from a study done by the League of Women Voters of Pullman in 2016 is that there are too many people needing food in Whitman County and there are many good people addressing this need in every community. January 2018 marked the one year anniversary of the Whitman County Food Coalition. This is an informal organization of individuals and organizations working to address hunger in Whitman County. The group includes representatives of State, County, and town governments and agencies, local and regional nonprofit organizations such as food banks and pantries, gleaners, and gardeners as well as individual farmers growing products intended for local consumption and individuals who just want to do something about this need. The Food Coalition meets the second Thursday of each month at 10 AM in the Colfax food pantry. All are welcome. In the meetings

information about what is happening in the legislative arena, sources of funding assistance and other resources, as well as discussion of needs and accomplishments of participants is shared. The Coalition co-hosted the day-long annual Food Summit in January with this year focusing on the local food production and distribution system working to build community food security. The Coalition is also the hub organization in the yearlong Palouse Tables Project coordinated by the Community Action Center in Pullman that is attempting to get a clearer picture of what and where the food needs are in the County and what is needed to meet this need. The project is working in the larger and smaller towns of Whitman and Latah counties gathering input from those operating and using food distribution efforts. The project is also exploring how other entities in the region not usually associated with food security might be able to contribute to solutions. For more information about the Whitman County Food Coalition contact Paige Collins at the Council on Aging in Colfax or Misty Amarena with Backyard Harvest in Moscow. For more information about the Palouse Tables Project contact Joe Astorino at the Community Action Center in Pullman. The LWV Poverty Study Report can be found at their website LWVPullman.org.

In February, the League of Women Voters of Pullman continued its commitment to civics education at Pullman High School. Several League members participated in a senior level course being developed by Social Studies instructor, Craig McCormick. The curriculum pushes students to learn about our political and government system to become better able to fully engage as voters. The course is still evolving as “we move through a number of units of study based on issues of current interest and concern in our society today”, says McCormick. Topics included are: immigration, educational law and funding, race, gun control, and the current Presidential election cycle.

New Art museum to Increase Exhibition Diversity The new Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU, designed, by Jim Olson of Olson Kundig, will increase access to the arts for the entire Inland Northwest region. Because of the dedication of major donor Jordan Schnitzer and the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation, this new structure is designed as a beacon for the arts, inviting visitors to experience the vitality of art at WSU. In both location and design, the building brings art to the forefront of university life.

Why do we get a fever when we are sick? – Marcelina, 11 Dear Marcelina, Lots of warm-blooded animals get sick, including cats. I’ve had a fever before, but I wasn’t entirely sure why we warm up when we get sick. I decided to ask my friend and professor Phil Mixter at WSU. Mixter is curious about the germs, or microbes, that we all carry around with us. In fact, scientists estimate that humans carry more than 100 trillion of these tiny microbes with them wherever they go. Some of them can make you sick. Thankfully, a lot of animals also have an immune system that helps them fight off bad germs. In humans, fevers are one way your body helps fight back. It’s sort of like that story about Goldilocks and the three bears, Mixter said. In the middle of your brain is a control center, the hypothalamus, which helps your body know if it’s too hot, too cold, or just right. When your immune system realizes something unusual is going on, some of your white blood cells will release a substance into your blood stream. The substance is made up chemicals that your brain can detect. When the hypothalamus receives the chemical message, it sends an alert back out to the body: Turn up the heat! We’ve got to slow down these germs. When we get a fever, the heat helps slow down these troublemakers. Sincerely, Dr. Universe Science rules!

WSU Hosts ArtMusic Festival and Beyond Boundaries Choir Concert The 2018 Festival of Contemporary Art Music, featuring new works by School of Music faculty and students and guest composer Laura Schwendinger, will be held from Thursday, March 1 to Saturday, March 3. Check the Community Calendar for specific times and locations. Thursday, March 8 Beyond Boundaries: WSU Concert Choir and Madrigal Singers 8:00pm Bryan Hall Theatre Featuring choral music that will transport the audience out of this world. The focus of the evening will be on music with poetry of the changing seasons, moon, sun, stars, and planets, with glorious sounds that will transcend one’s earthly existence. Using the newest technology for projection, the skills of engineering student, Jeremie Pope, the videos, photographs, and art work collected by the students and NASA, and choreography and dance by Abigail Taylor, this event will surround your senses. Music composed by Le Jeune, Weelkes, Gjeilo, Shank, Elder, LaBarr, Vaughan Williams, and Uusberg will be featured in this experiential and free concert.

Olson’s design concept of a mirrored crimson cube rewards viewers with an ever-changing landscape to view themselves and the world around them. Housing six galleries, the museum will showcase a vast array of artists, media and themes. All six of the new galleries will open April 6 and a public reception will be held at noon. In addition, a reception for the MFA Thesis Exhibition will be held in the Collections and Learning Gallery from 6-8 p.m. For more information visit museum.wsu.edu.

“Silent Sky” Explores the Roles of Women in Science WSU Performing Arts will present “Silent Sky,” a play written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Mary Trotter, Friday March 30 and Saturday March 31 and the following weekend Friday, April 6 and Saturday, April 7. Showings will be at 7:30 p.m. nightly as well as 2 p.m. Saturday matinees, in Jones Theatre at Daggy Hall. Based on the true story of astronomer Henrietta Leavitt, a Harvard Observatory “computer” at the turn of the 20th century, “Silent Sky” examines a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discovery, when women’s ideas were routinely dismissed—until men claimed credit for them. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors, students and youth. They can be purchased at all Ticketswest outlets including the Beasley Coliseum box office. The Saturday, March 31, 2 p.m. matinee will be presented free of charge, thanks to a sponsorship by WSU’s College of Arts and Science. A dessert reception with the play’s cast, crew and director, will follow immediately afterward. Seating for this special performance and for all others is reserved and tickets can be picked up in advance at Beasley Coliseum or at the door, subject to availability. Silent Sky is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.

Help Welcome Wayside become a reality There are many things that make Pullman a great place to live and one of those positives is our diversity, with residents from all over the world bringing different perspectives and enhancing our cultural awareness. Keeping this in mind, the city of Pullman with additional donations from WSU International Programs, Schweitzer Engineering, the Chamber of Commerce, and others, hopes to construct a landscaped Welcome Wayside along NW Davis Way—the focus being a large multi-faceted sign saying “Welcome” in 60 different languages, 30 on each side of the structure. The design is complete, the languages have been verified, and we are waiting for a few more donations to come in before we go to bid in hopefully March or April. Our Mayor, in collaboration with WSU Architecture students, originally envisioned this Wayside and multilingual welcome sign in 2012. It has had a few setbacks, but we are anticipating its realization this year. If you would like more information on this project and/or would like to donate, please see Announcements on the city website home page http://www.pullman-wa.gov or contact Mayor Glenn Johnson at 509-338-3316 or http://bit. ly/2BhJGF8 .

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Pablo Lozano

My name is Pablo Alejandro Lozano, also known as “Chunky” of Chunky Meats BBQ. I started college at Spokane Falls Community College-Pullman and currently attend Washington State University. I am now 39 years young, and many factors led me to my path in academia. After I was laid off from an electrical company down in Texas about seven years ago, we made the life-changing decision to move to Washington. I was fortunate to land a job working as a packaging mechanic in Connell, Washington, where I worked for three years. It was a great company to work for, but due to the remote location, there were not enough mechanics. The typical 40-hour workweek always turned into 60-plus hours a week. This left me unable to dedicate the kind of time that I needed to give to my family. Around this time, Veronica decided to pursue her doctorate degree at WSU, and she inspired me to consider furthering my own education by going to college. This was a daunting idea. No one in my family has ever graduated from a 4-year institution, but we decided we needed to take this step, and we moved to Pullman. I enrolled at SFCC-Pullman, which provided the academic foundation that would help me succeed at the university. At WSU, I was been able to explore different fields, and I have decided to become a teacher in the Agricultural Education field. This will give me the opportunity to go back to underrepresented communities and become a mentor and teacher and show guidance to students who are often overlooked. Growing up, I did not have a mentor or someone to encourage me in school, so I owe it to myself and make sure that does not happen to others. My children are also at an age where they are seeking direction for their own future. I want them to see that no matter how long it takes, they too can be successful in achieving anything they set their minds to.

ASSISTANT DEAN’S MESSAGE

Joal Lee

In my first “Assistant Dean’s Message,” from September 2016, I referred to Heraclitus’s idea that everything changes and nothing stands still. And so it goes for me. I have accepted a position with a local Pullman company, an opportunity for which I am very excited, but which also means I won’t be working at the community college. I’ve spent nearly one-third of my life working here—teaching, advising and mentoring students, working with great faculty and staff, planning and coordinating, and building connections with community members and folks at WSU. It has shaped who I am and how I see and understand myself, others, and the world at large. Over the last several weeks, I have been sorting through my digital and paper files, getting things ready for my eventual successor. On a nostalgic whim, I opened one folder in which I kept copies of my quarterly and annual contracts and other employment paperwork from the beginning to now. As I flipped through it, I remembered the sense of relief I felt as a young instructor each time I signed one of those contracts. It meant an income for my family and me: food, shelter, transportation, medical care. It meant a sense of purpose and belonging. It meant I could keep dedicating myself to the cause of education, the power of which I witnessed daily. The contracts changed over time from instruction to administration. There was my most recent contract. And then, the secondto-last piece of paper was a copy of my resignation letter. The last paper was an official acceptance of my resignation and a note of appreciation for my service. Though I must have very recently put those two pieces of paper in this folder, I was somehow surprised to see them there. The finality they represented struck me anew. This is it. There have been many moments in this process of separation that have stirred emotion in me: joking and reminiscing with long-time colleagues and friends; chatting with students about their plans and goals; finding old transparency sheets with my notes still written in water-soluble marker; perusing old syllabi and essay prompts and assigned readings. But seeing those two pieces of paper together at the end of my employment folder made me pause in a way nothing else had. How does one take the true measure of an experience like this? I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the greater Pullman and WSU community for your support of SFCC-Pullman. By supporting us over the years, you have supported the accomplishments and dreams of thousands of students who otherwise may not have gone to college, and you have thereby contributed to the health and vitality of our community and region. I ask for your continued support of SFCC-Pullman. The personal, social, and economic benefits of education are enormous, as I have witnessed repeatedly during my time here. I leave knowing that SFCC-Pullman and our students are in the good hands of the great faculty and staff who work here and in the careful care of a great community.

I am one of a small minority of Chicanos who are fortunate enough to attend a 4-year university, and I look forward to being the first in my immediate family to accomplish the prestigious goal of graduating with my degree. Like past Chican@s/ Latin@s/Mexican@s, and still today, I say proudly “SI SE PRUEDE!!!,” which translates to “YES YOU CAN!!!”

A.B.E. Evening Offerings In addition to our morning offerings, we now offer Adult Basic Education in the evenings. This class is open-enrollment, so students may come in at any time during the quarter and get started. The evening offering will cover Basic Skills, GED prep, preparing for college, and Basic Computing. Tuition is $25 per quarter, and we have scholarship money to cover tuition for those experiencing financial hardship. The evening ABE program is available from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Since A.B.E. is self-paced, students can come when they are able and stay for however long fits their schedule. Nearby WSU parking is free after 5:00. So, if you or someone you know is interested in getting their GED, preparing for college, or improving their basic math, English, or computer skills, give us a call or come by and visit for more information.

We are at a new location. New mailing address: PO Box 896, Pullman, WA 99163. Our new physical address is at 185 Veterans Way, the building just to the east of Daggy Hall on WSU’s campus. We have a new email address: Pullman@SFCC.Spokane.edu 509-332-2706 • Pullman@SFCC.Spokane.edu • www.Pullman.Spokane.edu

Pullman Regional Hospital

March 2018

Pullman Regional Hospital begins process to establish rural residency training program Pullman Regional Hospital has taken an important step toward establishing a first-of-its-kind rural medical residency program on the Palouse. The hospital is working with the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) to establish an accredited rural residency training track for graduate medical education in Family Medicine with the Spokane Teaching Health Center program. The goal is to train and retain these residents to continue to practice medicine on the Palouse. In January, a representative from the ACGME made a site visit to Pullman and Spokane as part of the accreditation process. A residency is additional training that follows graduation from medical school. Pullman’s rural residency track in Family Medicine would be three years with the first year in Spokane and the second and third years in Pullman. A decision to accredit the program is expected in April. If approved, medical students applying to qualified residency programs will be matched to Providence Holy Family Residency program with the Pullman Regional Hospital pathway in the fall of 2018. Two applicants will be chosen and will begin their first year of residency in Family Medicine at Providence Holy Family Hospital in Spokane followed by two years in Pullman. In 2021, two more residents will be training in Pullman bringing the total to four. “The effort to build a residency program in Pullman helps build a pipeline of physicians who want to practice on the Palouse,” said Dr. Gerald Early, Chief Medical Officer at Pullman Regional Hospital. “Research shows that residents are more likely to go on to practice as a physician in the town they performed their residency,”

“It is critical Pullman and the Palouse continue to have a strong medical staff of primary care physicians and specialists,” said Scott Adams, CEO. “We are taking a proactive approach to build a residency program in Family Medicine to build the future we want for healthcare on the Palouse.”

Linda Rauch, RN, Receives DAISY Award Linda Rauch, RN, BirthPlace is the first recipient of the DAISY award, an international nurse recognition program. Pullman Regional Hospital implemented the program in late 2017 and requested nominations from patients for nurses on our staff who exemplify the criteria for the DAISY award. The criteria in which honorees are chosen is based on the following: • Establishes a special connection with the patient and their family.

Auxiliary celebrate 50 years of caring Throughout this year, Pullman Regional Hospital Auxiliary, a non-profit organization set up to support patient comfort and care items for the hospital, will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. Pullman Memorial Hospital Auxiliary was officially organized in 1948 and was known as the Hospital Guild. It has always been a fundraising organization. Dues were $1 per year and the monthly meetings were held in the mornings in the basement of the hospital. Current membership dues are now $25 and membership has shrunk to about 175. In 1982, there were 1400 dues paying members. The majority of members do not actively participate at the hospital but dues remain an important source of income. This year, we are asking you to become a member and donate $50 for 50 years of Auxiliary support that contributes to the hospital’s 5 star patient experience!

Elementary School Attendance Boundary Changes Frequently Asked Questions

In November 2017, we asked for YOUR feedback and questions related to the elementary school attendance boundaries, which will be changing with the construction of a 4th elementary school. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your thoughts! Below are answers to some of the questions you posed.

Timeline Questions: 1. When will Kamiak Elementary open? Currently, Kamiak construction is projected to be completed March 2019. Due to feedback from parents and staff, we will not be opening Kamiak midyear. We will open Kamiak in the fall of 2019. 2. When will elementary attendance boundaries change? Elementary boundaries will NOT change for the 2018-2019 school year. Adopted elementary attendance boundaries will be implemented for the 2019-2020 school year. 3. When will families be notified of their school placement? The elementary attendance boundary committee will present a proposal for revisions of attendance areas to the school board in April of 2018. After the board approves attendance area revisions, information will be posted to the district website and shared via email, peachjar and Facebook. 4. Will new families attend school based on current attendance guidelines or the new attendance boundaries? As possible, new families (including incoming kindergarteners without elementary aged siblings) will be placed in the school that their student would attend based on 2019-2020 attendance boundaries. We hope this will minimize the amount of change for those families. Parents of Incoming kindergarteners with an older, elementary-aged sibling, will be given the option of having their kindergarten student attend school with the older sibling for 2018-2019, or attend the school they will be placed at in 2019-2020.

Process Questions: 1. What factors are being considered as elementary school attendance boundaries are revised? The elementary attendance boundary revision committee, based heavily on community input, developed and agreed to the following list of guiding principles: • Consider future growth • Aim to have each school reflect the diversity of our community • Create boundaries that will maintain continuity in neighborhoods, including rural areas • Minimize the number of families impacted • Minimize time to and from school + maximize safety and efficiency 2. What is the process being used to revise boundaries? Will there be an outside party hired by the district to assist and advise the district on the most logical boundaries? Will a number of different scenarios be prepared & proposed? A committee of parents, community members and staff are working with Flo Analytics (a company that specializes in school district boundary adjustment processes) to review data and develop proposal(s) that will be shared at community forums as well as online. 3. Will the process remain transparent and open to community input? How will the community be informed at various stages in the process? The committee work sessions are open to the public. The public can observe but not participate in the committee work. At the end of each work session a summary of the meeting will be posted on the district website. In addition, there will be several opportunities for the public to view developing proposals at scheduled community forums.

Placement Questions: 1. What if my student is assigned to a new school but I want them to stay in their current school? Will there be a process by which a family can appeal to keep a child in the "old" school? The school choice process will remain in effect. Parents wishing to have their student(s) stay at their current school will need to complete a school choice transfer form. Student(s) will then be placed on a waiting list. If space is available, the school will select a student from the waiting list. 2. Will siblings be placed in the same school? Siblings will be placed at the same school. 3. Will out of district students still be allowed to choice into Pullman Public Schools? The school district is currently reviewing out-of-district

student school choice procedures for 2018-19 and beyond. Additional information will be provided soon.

Bus routes will be developed when the new elementary boundaries have been finalized.

4. Will the new boundaries be firm, or will parents be able to select their preferred school? Will there be a "gray" area where families can choose which school their child attends? Students must attend the school within their attendance boundary unless they have requested and been accepted in accordance with the in-district transfer process.

Staffing Questions:

5. How do I transfer my student to a school other than their assigned school? Parents wishing to have their student(s) attend a different school will need to complete an in-district transfer request form and be added to a waiting list. Forms can be found in the district office or on the district website (www.pullmanschools.org) under Parents/Forms. Forms should be submitted to the district office. If space becomes available at the requested school, students will be selected from the waiting list. 6. How will rural students be impacted by this change? Rural students will attend the school within their assigned attendance boundary unless they have requested and been accepted in accordance with the in-district transfer process.

1. Will all schools have equal class sizes? An attempt will be made to balance class sizes as much as possible. 2. How will parapro and special education teacher staffing be addressed to accommodate caseloads? This will be addressed by the special education director. 3. Does the district need to hire a lot of new teachers and school employees to accommodate this new school? The district will be hiring additional staff to accommodate increased student growth and anticipated K-3 class size reduction. 4. Will current elementary school teachers move to Kamiak, or will new teachers be hired? The Kamiak elementary teachers will be a combination of experienced and new staff members. 5. Will the new teachers be hired in time to plan and prepare their classrooms? Yes.

7. Students that live on College Hill attend all three elementary Miscellaneous Questions: schools currently. Will the new school change this? 1. Will there be different start times for elementary schools? Unknown at this time. It will depend on the final elementary We anticipate that there will be different start times for elementary attendance boundaries. schools. This is due to the number of students, bus drivers, and bus 8. Will there be any consideration for students on IEP's/504's? routes needed. Consideration for students on IEP’s/504’s will be on an individual basis.

9. Are district employees able to select the school their student will attend? The students of district certificated staff must attend the school within their attendance boundary, or the certificated staff member may fill out an in-district transfer form and their student will be allowed to attend the school where their parent works in accordance with RCW 28a.225.225. In addition, a new in-district transfer form must be submitted each school year.

Safety + Transportation Questions: 1. How will traffic flow to the new elementary school be managed? The school design includes thoughtful traffic flow routes with a bus loop separated from parent drop off and pick up. It is anticipated that Terre View will be connected to Greyhound Way some time in the future, dependent on the progress of the housing development. 2. Will there be adequate cross walks across Terre View when the school is built? How will walking children safely cross this very busy road? We anticipate that there will be a cross walk and crossing guard. 3. Will students still need to transfer buses? It is our goal to eliminate as many bus transfers as possible. 4. How will bus routes be determined?

2. Would the district consider having grade-band schools? Grade band schools are not being considered at this time.

3. Will the elementary school boundaries change again in the future? Is future growth in Pullman being considered? The committee is considering future growth in order to minimize the number of times that the district will need to change or adjust elementary school boundaries. 4. Is the district considering how growth will impact the middle school and high school? Yes. The high school is designed to accommodate future growth and we are studying options for the middle school. 5. How will reassigned students be transitioned to a new school? The district will develop plans to transition reassigned students in the near future. 6. Since the size of the schools are different, how will the schools be balanced? The committee will look at each school’s capacity to balance grade levels across the district. 7. Has the district considered moving a few grades at a time? The district considered this, but did not pursue this option due to the number of elementary aged students and the K-3 grade class size reduction plan.

 Pullman Community Update 23

BOARD REPORT

Food Pantry Program Grows to Include Lincoln Middle School Amanda Tanner, Board Member For my first Community Update article as a school board member, I am very excited to share with the Pullman Community about the recent start of a Food Pantry at Lincoln Middle School, thanks to the hard work and support of many people in Pullman. Through parents involved at the schools, and administrators and staff expressing concerns of food insecurity, a food pantry was started first at Jefferson Elementary in April 2017. After some learning and much success, the organizers decided to expand their efforts to include Franklin Elementary. Now the program has been successfully extended again, to Lincoln Middle School. While visiting LMS on Tuesday January 23, I was lucky enough to witness a couple passionate • Jefferson Elementary, Linhda Sagen at volunteers setting up and organizing the new linhdasagen@yahoo.com pantry at LMS.

NEW—SafeSchools Alert Safety is one of our district’s top priorities and to help safeguard our school community, we’ve implemented a new reporting service called SafeSchools Alert. SafeSchools Alert is a tip reporting service that allows students, staff, and parents to submit safety concerns to our administration four different ways: Phone, Text, Email, and Online. You can easily report tips on bullying, harassment, drugs, vandalism or any safety issue you're concerned about through SafeSchools Alert. Every tip SafeSchools Alert receives about our district is immediately logged in the system and our administration is notified so that they can investigate and take appropriate action.

Chef Will

Chef Lee As this year’s only returning competitor, Chef Will Wohlfeil of South Fork Public House has some competition experience under his belt. Will 2018 be his golden year?

How would you describe your experience competing in Chef’s Challenge last year? It was fun! I didn’t know quite what to expect. The format we used was a bit different that on TV’s Chopped. The best part was the audience cheering me on. I had some relatives from out of town that showed up and surprised me at the event. Working with the induction burners was a challenge; it was a piece of equipment I’d never used before. What are you looking forward to this year? The activities from Chef’s Challenge are basically what I do on a daily basis. I come up with specials for the restaurant regularly, and it’s always fun. I hope the audience gets some creative ideas for cooking their own meals at home, and Community Action Center raises the money they need for all their purposes, especially the food bank.

Chef Howard Chef Howard Campbell of WSU’s Southside Café has the advantage of being a coworker and friend of one of the judges, Matthew Lasof. He says jokingly that any bias in the judging due to this connection will NOT work in his favor! How did you get involved in Chef’s Challenge? I’m one of the main donors to Community Food for the Food Recovery program. We donate unserved food from WSU to the food bank. I heard about this event from Ashley Vaughan, who is my contact person at Community Action Center for Food Recovery. What are you looking forward to during the event? I like that it’s food without rules; I can do the food I want the way I want. I’ve competed in salon competitions before, and for certification. I’m not unfamiliar with the format. Typically, I have a couple of good go-to recipes that you can pair with any protein. That said, not knowing what you’re going to cook until you get there can be a challenge. What do you hope audiences will get out of Chef’s Challenge? Entertainment! I hope they have fun watching us sweat and toil. I also hope for a lot of visibility and support in the community for Community Action Center’s great programs.

Chef’s Challenge Celebrity Judges

As a relative newcomer to the culinary scene on the Palouse, Chef Lee is eager to stake his claim among Pullman chefs and bring the Golden Spatula home. He creates meals for Greek House Chefs, a national company which has been in town for a little over a year, but has quickly expanded its accounts with fraternities and sororities here.

Joan Swensen, Paradise Creek Brewery Glenn Johnson, Mayor of Pullman Matthew Lasof, Executive Chef, WSU Northside Café and Golden Spatula Winner Jamie Callison, WSU Executive Chef and Author of The Crimson Spoon: Plating Regional Cuisine on the Palouse

What are you looking forward to during the event? I’m looking forward to seeing what the chefs in the area are capable of and getting to know them. We’re all in the same business, and we’re all in the same community. It’s important to have a good relationship with some of the people in the area, especially chefs.

Guest Judge, Audience members purchase chances to be selected as a Judge!

What’s your strategy, and what challenges are you expecting? I feel like I’ve walked into a Chopped set more often than not in my day to day work. For Greek events, you have to be flexible. Sometimes things come up at the last minute and you have to throw ingredients together. For example, a client has told you you’re preparing a meal for 60 and 200 people show up. I expect some kind of time limitations and unfamiliarity with how the equipment works, or not knowing where things are in the pantry. That can cause us to scramble! What are you hoping audiences will experience? I’m hoping by watching us they’ll get more creative with their own meals, regardless of what ingredients they have on hand. They can think a little bit out of the box and make something unique when they are at home cooking. I’m also hoping they’ gain a lot more interest in what’s going on with the local cuisine here on the Palouse and what local chefs are capable of, and that it will draw more people into Community Action Center’s activities.

Community Food

The Community Food Bank is in need of the following donations: • Chili • Chunky Soups • Ramen Noodles

And a word from our reigning Golden Spatula Winner and Event Judge, Chef Matthew Lasof

• Canned vegetables • Fresh produce • Hygiene products

What advice can you give this year’s contenders? Go in and have a Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C and be as flexible as possible. And have a good time! What was your experience like last year? The staff and volunteers did a bang-up job with the event, and were very helpful getting the contestants everything we needed. We had a blast last year. Winning was just the icing on the cake. What are you excited about for Chef’s Challenge this year? I’m excited to be on the other side of the table! I’m really looking forward to tasting what the contestants are throwing down. I’m hungry! My hope is for awareness of the need Community Action Center is fulfilling. Even though it’s a small town, the need is just as great, or greater than, in a big city. There’s hunger and homelessness here, but often these faces are hidden to a lot of community members.

You can bring donations to 350 SE Fairmont Road in Pullman weekdays from 8:00-4:00 (closed for lunch 12:00-1:00).
