STUDENTS OF THE MONTH

Andrew Tull

Andrew Tull, son of Chip and Amy Tull, is an honors senior at Pullman High School. He has played in Concert/ Pep Band all four years and is in his second year on the Knowledge Bowl team. Andrew took on the challenge of trying out for the 2019 PHS Drama performance of “The Wizard of Oz” and was cast as the Tin Man. When that ends, he’ll begin his fourth year on the tennis team. Andrew’s outgoing nature made him a perfect fit for Link Crew, mentoring incoming Freshmen the last two years. It’s also allowed him to find success in Junior State of America ( JSA), where he is on his third term as President. His involvement with JSA has fueled his passion for politics and spurred him to intern for a local campaign last Fall. Andrew is planning on attending the University of Arizona this fall, majoring in Political Science.

In This Issue… Carson Walker

Carson Walker, son of Chris and Becky Walker, is an honors senior at Pullman High School. He has played soccer and basketball for four years and has also been involved in Key Club and Junior State of America ( JSA). One of Carson’s favorite memories of his time in the Pullman School District was attending 5th grade camp. He enjoyed all the activities and the opportunity to meet and spend time with students from other elementary schools. Outside of school, Carson has been active in youth group and spent this past summer working retail. Carson is currently serving as a student member of the PHS Senior Party Committee for his senior project. Carson plans to attend Washington State University in the fall and though his major is undecided, his interests include business, finance and engineering.

MARCH 21 – Meet Judge Hart APRIL 18 – Update on the U.S. Census question The League of Women Voters of Pullman (LWVP) has an invaluable tool in its mission of working for good government – a vigorous and lively Observer Corps. This group forms the eyes and ears of the LWV of Pullman Board as members attend councils, boards, and commissions to listen, learn, observe, and report factual information about the proceedings. In particular, the Observer calls the League Board’s attention to community and public policy issues that the League may wish to act/testify on based on League’s Position Statements. The League believes that the presence of Observers helps keep government entities attentive to their jobs, with the proper respect for doing the public’s business, and promoting transparency and accountability. The Pullman Observer Corps is currently observing seven city and four county agencies.

In November the LWV of Pullman held a meeting where Travis Ridout, Thomas Foley Distinguished Professor of Government and Public Policy, spoke on Redistricting in Washington State. Redistricting of legislative and congressional districts is an issue of great importance to the LWV, both statewide and nationally, as it has the potential to disenfranchise untold numbers of voters. For example, if there is an area with a majority that tends to vote for a particular party or agenda and that area is contained in one district, the district can elect representatives that represent their views. However, if the districts are designed so that the area is split among several districts, then their vote is distributed among several districts and they may become minorities in those districts and lose the power of their vote. The Federal government has rules regulating the districts but the process of creating the districts is left to each state. Washington is one of six states that utilize commissions that are independent of their respective state legislatures and governors. In Washington the redistricting commission consists of the majority and minority leaders of the Washington State Senate and Washington House of. These four commissioners appoint a fifth non-voting member to serve as chair. Three of the four commissioners must agree to the new redistricting plan. This helps ensure that the lines creating the legislative districts are not drawn to the advantage of a particular political party.

MEMBERSHIP Free LWV Membership for Students Any individual aged 16 or older, male or female, may become a League member.

FREE LECTURE: Aging and cognitive health

Dear Dr. Universe: How long can trees live? -Jessy, 8, Seattle, WA

Dear Jessy, As I was hiking through the bristlecone pine forests of the Sierra Nevada recently, I stumbled upon a tree barely six inches tall.

Wednesday, March 27 • 3:45 p.m. WSU Pullman, Compton Union Building Junior Ballroom 2019 Distinguished Faculty Address Maureen Schmitter-Edgecombe, Ph.D. Professor, Department of Psychology You are invited to hear Dr. Schmitter-Edgecombe speak on her interdisciplinary work developing smart technologies for health care. Her research focuses on extending the quality of life and functional independence of the aging population and individuals with cognitive disorders. Her work has made significant contributions to the fields of aging and clinical neuropsychology. Open to the public. Reservations recommended. Reserve seats online at showcase.wsu.edu/distinguished-faculty-address showcase.wsu.edu

It was growing—slowly, but surely. I was surprised to find this tiny pine tree was already about 40 years old. Some trees will stop growing once they reach that age. But others live much longer. In fact, bristlecone pine trees aren’t just the oldest trees, they are some of the oldest living things on our planet. They can live for about 5,000 years. “These trees were growing when the Egyptians were building the pyramids,” said my friend Kevin Zobrist, a forester at Washington State University. Zobrist knows a lot about different trees and told me a bit about bristlecone pine trees. By the time the pines are about 5,000 years old, they will stand 60 feet tall with a trunk that is nearly five feet around. If we were to cut into the trunk, we could look at its growth rings. Each ring would signify a year of its life. We would have a lot of counting to do. Zobrist explained that bristlecone pine trees are tough and have adapted to their environment. They are equipped to deal with drought, extreme climates, and insects that might cause serious damage if they attack. For example, the tree can actually shut down or go dormant for a while, if conditions are too harsh. This helps the tree survive for thousands of years. “They teach us that nature is resilient,” Zobrist said. “They teach us that nature can carry on.” Sincerely, Dr. Universe

Three named to Gladish Board of Directors

Pullman Community Update 9

Graham Ballet student accepted into acclaimed program

John Ayers John and his wife Audrey chose Pullman as their final retirement locale in June 2017, relocating from Lewiston where they had lived for eight years. Prior to Lewiston, the Ayers lived in Alaska for more than 30 years. John retired as Chief Operating Officer of a publicly traded telecommunications firm after having spent more than 40 years as a senior manager in the telecommunications, information technology, and natural gas transmission industries. He is currently president of the Washington Idaho Symphony Association Board of Directors. John is interesting in increasing exposure to the arts, “I am thankful to all those supporters and community members who celebrate the arts and the richness of classical music,” he said.

Anna Grindeland Owner of Three Forks Nutrition, Anna Grindeland is a clinical dietitian and entrepreneur. She is skilled in delivering medical nutrition therapy and nutrition counseling to groups and individuals to foster their best health. “I can remember taking part in many activities at Gladish growing up, and have attended many greatevents in the spaces since. “I believe in the Pullman community, and strive to give back in any way that I can. I would like to see the Gladish Community and Cultural Center not only be sustained, but celebrated by the community. There are so many exciting things going on in Pullman, especially downtown, that I think Gladish can be a part of,” she said.

Dancer: Daphne Felsted, in La Chica de Rojo Choreographer: Hannah Myers/ Graham Ballet Theater

Daphne Felsted, has been accepted into Brigham Young University’s Music Dance Theatre program beginning in the fall. The program accepts only 16 applicants nationwide. The limited enrollment program is designed to train performers for a career in musical theatre and related performance disciplines. Daphne has trained and performed leading roles with Graham BalletTheater/Academy since she was 7. She also has performed with R-Top Theater and coaches voice. The Pullman High school senior was Pullman’s Distinguished Young Woman for 2018.

Dave Harder Dave Harder, owner of Plateau Archaeological Investigations, LLC has been a tenant at Gladish since 2010, and even rented a room for about a year in 2001. Dave said Gladish has been an excellent venue for this business. “During that time I have become more aware of the opportunities that Gladish provides to the community. I want to help provide the same opportunities to others. “As a cultural resource specialist, I cherish the historic nature of the Gladish structure. The maintenance of the facility is fraught with unknown variables. To provide affordable, attractive spaces for the organizations that use the facility, it is important to understand how that history can impact the present and future, while determining which aspects of the maintenance are the highest priorities,” Harder said. David and his spouse, Jenny, have both lived in Pullman since their college days and have no desire to leave. They are challenged to keep up with their three boys through Scouts and other pursuits. They have one son in Lincoln Middle School, one son in Pullman High School, and one son pursuing an engineering degree at Montana Tech in Butte.

Hundreds of elementary students from Whitman and Latah counties came to Gladish's Domey Auditorium to attended a Repertory Dance Theatre program sponsored by Festival Dance's YouthReach series. Children from rural communities that are bused in to see professional performances have the opportunity to see a dance program they will always remember. Festival Dance believes this experience develops a personal connection to the arts that can create a lifelong interest, enriching the lives of youth in the area. RDT, founded in 1966, is the nation's oldest and most successful repertory dance company. Dancers provided the children a experience of dances filled with high energy humor and drama.

Board members complete terms Three members of the Friends of Gladish board have completed terms. They include Peggy Ray, board secretary; John Brewer, finance committee chair; and Sue Hinz, board president. Brewer and Hinz completed two three-year terms.

PULLMAN CIVIC TRUST

Pullman Civic Trust strives to enhance the quality of life here in Pullman and the Palouse region. Our projects seek to celebrate our rivers, create trail networks, beautify downtown, and develop a deeper sense of community.

imagine Imagine...The Riverwalk trail system connection where bicyclists stop by and grab a snack as they continue their ride to Colfax on the CAP Trail. There are trees shading the South Fork of the Palouse River, creating cooler water for fish and wildlife, and attractive gathering spots for walkers and talkers. Restaurants have remodeled their facilities so that both indoor and patio diners can enjoy the relaxing river views. There is an occasional B&B for visitors on bikes or those staying for WSU football, volleyball, basketball or other sporting events or attending the local theater. This network also connects you to an award-winning medical facility staffed by talented professionals who are drawn to the bustling community. Recent graduates establish thriving businesses and families send their children to crisp new public schools. Neighborhood children commute to school along an accessible trail system. The Palouse Community is vibrant, attractive, and commerce is thriving. The communities of Palouse, Colton, Uniontown, Colfax, Albion, Pullman and Moscow (and on) have created numerous connections between entrepreneurial businesses, excellent schools, exceptional health facilities and a transportation system of beautiful trails.

Imagine the Palouse at its best...Imagine a world of connection.…Imagine Stay Connected and Get Involved by Donating or Volunteering!

PULLMAN CAMPUS

Undoing the Greatest Mistake of My Life A Learning Journey, Part 3, by Enkhee Engels I had been informed that the testing center would be closed from mid-summer until January. I would have to go to elsewhere to take rest of my tests. At the end of August, I scheduled the third exam, probably in Social Studies, for the week after next and dropped off the check for the three remaining tests. My goal was to be completely done by Thanksgiving. When I arrived at the testing I set as my next target the Language Arts/Writing exam. Writing center two weeks later, the proctor informed me that they did not have my paperwork or check. She told me that in order to take the an essay was not so difficult for me when I was in middle school, but that was in Mongolia and essays followed a different structure test today I would have to provide a code word and register for an online account. I was confused; I’d heard nothing about a code word there. For days I tried to comprehend the Western organizational before. Where could I find it? “Online,” the proctor told me. With style, but my brain could not process new information as fast as the exam just thirty minutes away, I made my way to a building it used to. I asked my husband, Bill, who was home on vacation where the proctor had said I could use a computer. When I reached from Bangladesh, for help since he was a professor of English.

62 Pullman Students Earn SFCC Honors By Patrick Forster, SFCC Pullman Assistant Dean We were pleased to see about a quarter of SFCC Pullman students earn academic honors in fall quarter. To earn honors, a student has to be in good standing and carry a fulltime load at SFCC. Roughly 15% of Pullman students earned SFCC President’s Honors for a term GPA of 3.5 or better and another 10% gained SFCC Vice-President’s Honors for a term GPA of 3.0 or above. This is a fantastic achievement and a hard-earned reward. This success doesn’t come easy. Our students work every bit as hard to earn their grades as they would at a fourPatrick Forster, SFCC Pullman Assistant Dean year institution. Despite the occasional claim to the contrary, curriculum and performance standards are just as rigorous as they are for equivalent courses at a college or university. In fact, with our typically smaller class sizes and more frequent class sessions, students have to be at the top of their game at all times.

Gala 13 th Annual

An Elegant Affair presented by

13th Annual Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation Gala Raised Funds for Expansion of Orthopedic Services on the Palouse. Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation’s “Elegant Affair,” the 13th Annual Gala, Presented by Avista, drew a gathering of nearly 300 hospital supporters to the SEL Event Center on February 2, 2019. The announcement of the hospital’s 2019 priorities by hospital CEO, Scott Adams, revealed the hospital’s commitment to supporting the expansion of the Orthopedic Center of Excellence, officially kicking off the fundraising drive. A preliminary goal of $1 million will help double the Center; providing more clinic space, more space for physicians and a digital x-ray machine for added convenience and efficiency. Just prior to the Paddle Up, Ed and Beatriz Schweitzer made a surprise gift of $250,000. The Schweitzer’s leadership gift and the generosity of the community through event registrations, sponsorships, auction and raffle proceeds brought in more than $400,000 to support the expansion of the Orthopedic Center of Excellence.

Highest Needs: as part of The Next Era of Excellence, Pullman Regional Hospital is investing in technology, expanding space, and retaining and training physicians to meet the growing need for healthcare in our region.

Current Space

Expanding the Orthopedic Center of Excellence: a 2,000 square foot expansion of the Orthopedic Center of Excellence will double the current footprint and provide clinic space for new orthopedic surgeons to grow the practice, and prepare for recruiting additional surgeons. A new digital on-site x-ray system will provide convenience and efficiency for patients and providers.

BOARD REPORT

Updated Policy for Food/Snacks in Classrooms Amanda Tanner, Board Member In an effort to best meet the needs of all students in our school district, we recently revised our policy related to food and snacks in classrooms. As of the 2018-2019 school year we were able to begin implementing our newly revised policy. With a lot of work from our Wellness Committee, and approved by the school board, everyone has worked together to look out for our student’s safety. Within our district, we have students in each of our schools with diagnosed life-threatening food allergies. The changes made to our policy are intended to better care for our students and are the result of a recommendation from our district Wellness Committee. The Wellness Committee is comprised of school administrators, district employees, community members, parents, and a board member. The updated policy outlines The following: • We will no longer allow food to be served on individual student birthdays. We will allow for activities that involve food up to once a month in each classroom, at the discretion of the teacher. Individual teachers will create their own classroom birthday recognition practices, which often include learning components on the student’s special day. • In all cases of food being involved in classrooms, families will have prior notice of the events, including information about what types of food will be available, and ingredients if needed. Food practices in individual classrooms will be mindful of life-threatening allergies, food sensitivities, health, and the potential for disruption, and will be communicated by individual classroom teachers. • There are many occasions when schools wish to recognize accomplishments of students. We will continue to explore and implement strategies unrelated to food. We hope to create a safer, healthier environment, and minimize loss of instructional time and disruption throughout the school year.

In order to make implementation of the new, safer policy, we need your help. Please do not bring food to school for consumption in the classroom, unless pre-arranged with the school and/or classroom teacher. Also, instead of bringing food or snacks for birthday and holiday celebrations, please consider sharing stickers, pencils, erasers, etc. In addition, the Wellness Committee has provided a list of “approved snacks”, which is available in the school office and on the district website. The committee put a lot of effort into putting together an extensive list which includes a large variety of options. For further guidance, please see Pullman School District Administrative Procedure 6700P, by going to www.pullmanschools.org, under the School Board tab, Policies and Procedures, 6000’s Although this is a big change, and we may miss bringing treats for birthdays, or sending candy valentines to our students’ classrooms, by doing those things, we may have been unknowingly putting other students at risk of having serious health reactions. We’d like to thank the community in advance for their understanding, and commitment to keeping all of our students as safe as possible.

Important Upcoming Event 2019-2020 Course Registration Process

Although it may still seem like winter on the Palouse, it is not too early for PHS to be thinking about course options and offerings for next year. For this year’s 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th graders, this process will begin in early March. One of the first transitions for our 8th grade families is our 8th Grade Parent Night. This event will take place on March 19th in the PHS Auditorium. The transition from 8th grade to 9th grade is an important process and we put a lot of time and effort into facilitating our students’ passage from the middle school to the high school. The process of registering for classes on a computer will take place towards the end of March. Despite our best efforts, this can be a very stressful time for students and families, especially if they have not had a family member attend PHS before. Please feel free to contact the PHS staff if you have any questions or concerns about the process. For the current 9th, 10th and 11th graders, the process will begin with whole-class meetings and wrap up with registration on computers during English classes at the end of March. For all students, this is a good time for parents/guardians and their students to review academic plans. Initiate a discussion about your son or daughters plans beyond high school. Have those plans changed recently? If so, do we need to consider a different academic plan? Have we looked carefully at the requirements for acceptance for your student’s specific goals after high school? We recommend students continue to challenge themselves academically and take a collection of rigorous courses that build a strong academic record. That goal also needs to be balanced with including classes that keep the work load manageable and student motivation high. If you have questions about the classes that should be taken, the PHS staff will be happy to help answer those questions.

A Push for Positive Juston Pollestad, PHS Interim Principal Pullman High School is well known for its commitment to excellence in the classroom, impressive state assessment scores, and highly successful athletic and activities programs. With all our successes, it’s important to remember to do things the right way, not take things for granted, and to focus on the positives going on around us every day. One example of focusing on the positive, is the “Compete with Class” sportsmanship award that was implemented by our Assistant Principal Mr. Chris Franklin at the start of our Winter sports season. Mr. Franklin instituted this award concentrating on sportsmanship. As you can see in the letter below, this award is unique because its’ focus is to recognize the positive efforts made by students from our opposing teams. This program has been a huge success within our league. We have received letters from Great Northern League schools, parents, and community members recognizing our efforts to focus on the life lessons students can learn through activities. The positive efforts we are making here at PHS are contagious; not only to the students and staff we connect with every day, but even to opposing schools. Our “Compete with Class” award is just one example of many things we are doing at PHS to focus on the positive.

Pullman Community Update 23

Meet the Board Member: Annie Pillers What is your day job? The Whitman County Coroner. I joined the department in November of 2008, starting as an on-call deputy coroner, became the Chief Deputy Coroner in 2013 and in March of 2018 became the Coroner when Pete Martin retired after an amazing career spanning 37 years. I also serve part-time as the Executive Director Friends of Hospice, a not-forprofit organization that augments hospice and end of life care on The Palouse. I have been active in hospice, end-of-life care, and community grief support groups since 2004. Why do you choose to serve on Community Action Center’s board? Because of the direct services CAC provides to our community members—energy assistance, housing assistance, and housing repairs are a few examples. I came to keenly understand this during my years as an elder care case manager and a city clerk in our smaller communities. To witness the relief of a widowed elder when insulation and a new furnace were installed in their home and the heat turned back on as the temperatures dropped into the 20s was a gift I’ll never forget. CAC sees the person first, their needs second, and then works to find the solutions collaboratively with them.

2018 Community Needs Assessment Preliminary Findings are In Community Action Center and Pullman Regional Hospital, in collaboration with other local agencies and organizations, sponsored a 2018 survey of Whitman County households. The purpose of the survey is to better understand the health and social service needs in Whitman County, the extent to which those needs are being met, and what improvements to services or additional services are needed. The 2018 survey was also conducted in fall of 2015, which allows for comparison of results between now and three years ago. We’ve selected some of the findings related to financial wellbeing and food security to highlight to the community. The full report, including all health and wellness findings, will be available this spring. Community Situation

Who has made a big impact on your life? It’s not so much who but where and how I live. Living on the Palouse has shaped and cut me in ways I never would have expected 30 years ago. It’s personal here. Living with, working with, and intimately knowing neighbors and community members has given me a better appreciation for our connectedness to one another. Your struggles are my struggles, your joys mine. We live in community. This single factor has enriched me beyond imagining. What do you do in your free time? Free time is somewhat limited right now for me. I thoroughly enjoy a good book, a good movie, and a good laugh!
