Dr. Universe: How come broccoli is good for you? -Zack, 10, San Lorenzo Valley Dear Zack, As I cat, I don’t eat too much broccoli. So, I decided to visit my friend John Clarke, a professor of pharmacy at Washington State University. Broccoli is what got him a PhD, he says. Clarke studied how broccoli can help fight off toxic things in our bodies and may even have cancerfighting properties. He’s happy to help with your question and says broccoli is what we call a cruciferous vegetable. Whether it’s broccoli, cabbage, radishes, or bok choy, the veggies in this family all share a similar chemical makeup.

School of Music – April 2019
If you’ve explored the periodic table of elements, you know that there are a lot of different elements that make up things in our world. When two or more elements come together, they form a compound. When we chew or cut broccoli, we damage the plant tissues and a new compound forms. It’s actually this compound in broccoli that gives off that, well, unique broccoli smell. Scientists have also discovered how this same compound can help fight off toxins in your system. “The plant has components that can act like coffee in a tired person,” Clarke said. “It stimulates some of the body’s detoxifying bodyguards to stay awake and get rid of bad toxins in the body. Broccoli is also packed with vitamin C, which can be good for fighting off infection. If you are ever feeling under the weather, you might just consider having a little broccoli along with your chicken noodle soup. It also has fiber. When we get enough fiber from our food, it can help with both heart and blood health. The chlorophyll that gives broccoli–and a lot of other plants–its green color can also be good for us. It has all kinds of nutrients and is the source of vitamins and minerals our body needs to grow strong. Sincerely, Dr. Universe

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 In February, the Pullman Civic Trust convened a community design workshop in order to imagine the possibilities that could await downtown Pullman. This workshop, called a “charrette” in professional circles, produced ideas and visualizations building on the work of Pullman 2040 for such things as improving Main Street, development along the riverfront, trail connections, and new parks. The charrette included professors and students from the WSU School of Design and Construction. Many community members representing civic groups and WSU’s administration participated with enthusiasm. The results have already been shared with community groups and with the City, which is in the process of hiring a consultant to create a master plan for downtown. Pullman Civic Trust hopes this work is a spark to keep good ideas moving forward, which has long been one of the Trust’s main interests.
Imagine the Palouse at its best...Imagine a world of connection.…Imagine Stay Connected and Get Involved by Donating or Volunteering!
Stay in the loop with our activities, and with other like minded organizations that are working toward the benefit of this area. facebook.com/PullmanCivicTrust/. Find us on our website https://www.pullmancivictrust.org/

WSECU Chef’s Challenge Raises Funds for Community Food Chef Scott Franke from WSU Dining Services won the “Golden Spatula” on March 10th during an intense Chef’s Challenge competition, which raised nearly $10,000 for Community Action Center’s Community Food. Franke competed against defending champion Lee Wilkins of Greek House Chefs and Jenny Finau of Dough Re Mi. Franke did wonders with the mystery ingredients: quail, boxed stuffing mix from the food bank, and government-commodity dried plums. Chef’s Challenge pitted the three chefs against each other as they raced the clock to create mouthwatering meals from “mystery” ingredients, including foods from the Community Food Bank shelves. The fundraiser underscores the creativity of food bank clients, who need to be innovative to craft nutritious meals when budgets are tight.
Celebrity judges taste their meal. Judges included Executive Chef Joan Swensen of Paradise Creek Brewery, Mayor Glenn Johnson, and WSU Hospitality Professor Jim Harbour, and a lucky audience member Becky Alt, selected in a drawing.
New to Chef’s Challenge this year were local food vendors, who gave attendees a taste of delicacies from Persian food, to tacos, to Puerto Rican cuisine. “There was really a theme of growing together at the event,” said Joe Astorino, Gardens and Nutrition Specialist at CAC. Astorino said the event highlighted local food vendors growing their businesses, clients growing in food security, and the fresh, local produce grown for Community Food in CAC’s gardens. Chef’s Challenge is the only fundraiser for Community Food, which builds lasting food security for around 2200 people each year. Community Food includes the Community Food Bank, food resource management and cooking classes, Community Kitchen, and gardens/ hydroponic bays to reduce barriers to fresh, nutritious produce for people in poverty.
A HUGE Thank You to our Chef’s Challenge Sponsors!

BOARD REPORT
Hope in Action Allison Munch-Rotolo, Board President Greta Thunberg is a Swedish high school student who recently turned 16. Greta wears her light brown hair in two long braids that are occasionally disheveled, and she favors comfortable clothing like zip-up hoodies and joggers. In December 2018, she addressed the United Nations Climate Change Conference. In January 2019, she participated in the World Economic Forum in Davos. Her speaking voice is soft, gentle, and minimally-inflected. Her facial expressions are similarly opaque, which has the effect of conveying wisdom beyond her years. Greta speaks openly of the anxiety and depression she experiences when thinking of the future—undoubtedly there are others who feel these things too. Here is some of what she said in a November 2018 TED talk:
What we do or don’t do right now, me and my generation can’t undo in the future. So, when school started in August of this year, I decided that this was enough. I set myself down on the ground outside the Swedish parliament. I school striked for the climate. Some people say that I should be in school instead. Some people say that I should study to become a climate scientist so that I can “solve the climate crisis.” But the climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions. All we have to do is wake up and change. And why should I be studying for a future that soon will be no more when no one is doing anything whatsoever to save that future? And what is the point of studying facts in the school system when the most important facts given by the finest science of that same school system clearly means nothing to our politicians and our society? Greta Thunberg is not the first teenage activist to reach a world-wide audience, nor is she the most eloquent. But while Malala Yousafzai (youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize) spoke for the right of girls to receive an education, Greta points out the fundamental hypocrisy in teaching science, but then ignoring that same science in our everyday policy decisions. And she questions the point of education at all, when the future seems devoid of hope.
The mission of the Pullman school district is: Ensuring learning while challenging and supporting each student to achieve their full potential. In my personal opinion, supporting our students includes assuring them through our words and actions that we won’t simply ignore climate change, that we will actively work to give them the bright future they deserve. In 2018, Pullman High School was designated as a Washington State Green School Leader by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) in recognition of its progress in areas recognized by the U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Jim Evermann Schools program. In 2019, Jefferson Director, District 3 Elementary School is being recognized jfe@psd267.org as a certified Washington Green School Nathan Roberts for water-wise and other activities Director, District 4 conducted by its PTA-led Green Team. nroberts@psd267.org As a district, we are making progress, Amanda Tanner but there is always more we can (and Director, District 5 should) do in these areas. As Greta says, atanner@psd267.org “the one thing we need more than hope is action. Once we start to act, hope is President Allison everywhere.” Munch-Rotolo Director, District 2 Please feel free to contact me with Amunch-rotolo@psd267.org your ideas about environmental

ALTERNATIVES TO VIOLENCE OF THE PALOUSE
Pullman Community Update 9
April Is Sexual Assault Awareness Month Across the country, individuals, youth, communities, schools, and agencies will be taking action to increase awareness about sexual assault while working to end sexual violence. Sexual Assault Awareness Month is a time where we can focus our efforts, celebrate community successes and look toward making improvements in the future.
How you talk about sexual violence matters. Whether you show your support for a survivor or help someone understand these issues, your voice is powerful and necessary in this conversation. • Teal is the color of Sexual Assault Awareness month. Wear a ribbon, paint your nails, or dye a streak in your hair to show your support. Challenge your friends to wear teal and talk about it. • Talk to your children, teens, family, and friends about the importance of healthy relationships and healthy boundaries. Movies, TV, and books are full of healthy and unhealthy relationships you can use as examples. • Invite ATVP to present to your class, community group, club, or other organization (in April and year round).
Community Outreach & Education Programs Available! Want to address challenging topics with your students, friends, or employees but aren’t sure how? Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse offers education programs to the community at large. They can be tailored to any group including school classes, university groups, service providers, and faith communities. Topics include healthy relationships, respecting boundaries, bystander intervention, sexual violence, child sexual abuse, and sexual harassment. For more information on available programming please contact Vanessa or Chelsea at 509-332-4357 or visit atvp.org/education.shtml.
Palouse Teen Council is Recruiting for 2019-2020! Are you passionate about sex education and reproductive rights? You should apply for Teen Council! We are high school students who are trained to provide peer-led sex education to our community. Apply by May 10th at this link: http://bit.ly/palousetc Want to know more about us? Come to our Teen Council Interest Night! Tuesday, April 23, 6 -7:30pm at the ATVP Pullman Office (Gladish Community & Cultural Center, 3rd floor)
• When you hear comments that blame victims or make light of sexual violence, speak up so others know you that don’t agree. Show them that you believe survivors, and that you’re a safe person to talk to. • Join ATVP in wearing denim on April 24th. In 1998, Italy’s Supreme Court overturned a rapist’s conviction because the victim wore jeans, reasoning that she must have helped her attacker remove them. This action was the catalyst for Denim Day, a day when supporters around the world wear jeans to take a stand against sexual violence.
Violence Prevention Education Teaching kids about healthy relationships, communication, and boundaries is an important part of our work! Utilizing evidencebased curricula, we work with classrooms, high school groups, and afterschool programs to help youth build healthy skills. Our Palouse Teen Council is a group of local high school students who are trained to present on comprehensive sex education. Contact ATVP to request a presentation!

Hi, hi, hi, and hello! I am Luke, the Goodest Boy! I sure do love it here at the shelter, and I love my toys, and I love people! I was found as a stray and brought to the shelter so the awesome humans here could take care of me. They found out that I had double perineal hernias and some other stuff that needed to be fixed! And guess what? Some AMAZING people came together on Facebook and social media (whatever that is) and raised money for my surgery with something called the Hope Fund. How did I end up so lucky!? Now I am a Hope Fund animal! My adoption fee is a little higher but all of it goes back into the Hope Fund to help more animals get life-saving operations like mine! I spent 3 weeks in foster care getting spoiled to bits and healing up from my surgery, and now I am ready to find my forever home! I do well with all kinds of people and would be ok with a slow introduction to a dog-savvy cat or kitten. I promise! I just know that my future will be as bright as everybody keeps telling me if I had a home with you! ~ And now a word from our staff: Luke's adoption fee is $200 and includes his hernia repair, neuter, microchip, vaccinations, and deworming.

Pullman Community Update 15
Nate James, R.N. Receives Daisy Award Nate James, R.N., Same Day Services, received the Daisy Award in March James, who has been a nurse in Same Day for eight years, was surrounded by his family when he won the award in a ceremony held in March. The DAISY Award is a nurse recognition program at Pullman Regional Hospital that recognizes nurses who go above and beyond to care for their patients. Nate was nominated for his calming presence and exceptional communication with a young patient and his family. The patient’s mother expressed, “As a mother I was a bit anxious on the day of surgery and that quickly changed from the moment we walked in and talked to Nate. I never felt uneasy or unsure with Nate’s treatment skills or knowledge, and it was obvious that he cared about my son’s wellbeing and comfort.” She goes on to say “I have worked in the customer service industry for over 20 years and really value quality service. Nate exemplifies Pullman Regional Hospital’s values with his commitment to provide compassionate, responsible, quality services.” The Daisy Award recipient is selected by a committee of Pullman Regional Hospital nurse peers.
April is National Volunteer Month. Thank you to our valued Pullman Regional Hospital volunteers! Nate and his family.

CITY OF PULLMAN
16 Pullman Community Update
Clear gravel from sidewalks As winter transitions to spring (fingers crossed), it is only natural to want to spruce up the outside of your home. Keep the sidewalks in front of your residence or business free of obstacles and debris as well. The city of Pullman sweeps streets monthly in each quadrant of town, as well as weekly sweeping in the downtown business district. The exceptions include when snow is on the ground, and during the spring months when we are sweeping on an even more aggressive schedule to remove the gravel left from winter snow and ice control activities. Please use our residential and downtown street sweeping schedules pictured here as guidelines to most effectively clear the sidewalks in front of your home or business. In the two days prior to scheduled sweeping in your area, sweep gravel or other small natural debris (no garbage, large limbs, etc.) into the street. On the days your neighborhood sweeping is scheduled, please park off street and we will take care of the rest. Together we can keep Pullman beautiful!
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week Support Pullman’s Downtown Hanging Baskets The city of Pullman thanks everyone who donated last year to the downtown baskets displayed on Main Street and Grand Avenue. Donations help to defray costs, which total about $130 per basket, per year. Donations in any amount are greatly appreciated and all funds are used directly for the planting and maintenance of the baskets. Send donations to: City of Pullman, 240 SE Dexter St., designated as “Downtown Hanging Baskets,” or go to our website PullmanParksandRec.com and donate using our online donation page, Donation: Downtown Hanging Baskets. If you have any questions call 509-338-3228.
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, the second week of April, brings well deserved attention and recognition to the public safety dispatchers who are an invaluable part of the emergency response team. Assuring rapid response by police, fire, and medical personnel during emergencies, the men and women who take 911 calls and send assistance are often overlooked for the critical role that they play in coordinating first response and lifesaving efforts. Our local Whitcom 911 dispatchers have a highly difficult and incredibly important job, which directly impacts the wellbeing of our community and its people. Pullman Police Department thanks the men and women of the Whitcom 911 regional dispatch center and all public safety telecommunicators in Pullman and beyond for their invaluable contributions to the safety of our community and our nation.

Open a good book April’s meaning comes from the Latin word aperire “to open”. Very fitting, as April is the month we associate with spring: the opening of the buds on the trees, the opening of the first flowers of spring, and the opening of baseball season. April is also known for its showers, which also makes it the perfect month for opening a good book. Come down to Neill Public Library and check out some of the new titles we have for you in the month of April.

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day Saturday, April 27 will be the 17th National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) sponsors this event to provide Americans with an opportunity to prevent drug addiction and overdose deaths, by encouraging the safe and proper disposal of unwanted or expired medications. Pullman Police Department provides public access to a prescription drug box, available 24/7 in the department’s lobby. Collection sites in every local community can be found by going to www.takebackday.dea. gov. When transporting prescription drugs, state law requires that they be in the original prescription containers with the labels attached. It is illegal to possess prescription drugs outside of the original container or to possess prescription drugs that are prescribed to someone else. The prescription labeling can be removed at the police department or the drugs can be placed in plastic zipper bags that are provided by the police department. If placed in a bag, the name of the drug should be written on the bag. By using the prescription drug drop box, your discarded drugs will be incinerated at a facility approved by the EPA and Washington Department of Ecology. We will accept all prescription medication from individuals only; medical offices and care facilities should follow protocol with their contracted disposal vendors.
Animal Care and Control Appreciation Week Endorsed by the National Animal Care and Control Association, the week of April 7-13 celebrates and promotes professionalism among animal care and control professionals nationwide. Pullman Police Department recognizes code enforcement officers (CEOs) Supervisor Elizabeth Oje, Sam Sorem and Arri Ponds. In addition to their parking and code enforcement duties, Pullman PD CEOs handle animal control for Pullman. They protect and educate the public, while protecting the welfare of animals
suffering from disease, injury, abuse or starvation. In 2018, Pullman PD responded to approximately 740 calls for animal-related service within our city. The department recognizes the important role of these staff members and their dedication to protecting the health and welfare of our community members and their animal friends. The department also recognizes and thanks the hard-working staff and volunteers of the Whitman County Humane Society who support quality care of Pullman animals through essential rescue, shelter, and adoption services.

Aliya Dunlap
Payton Kallaher
Becky Aliya Dunlap, daughter of Susan Newman, is a proud Senior at Pullman High School. During her years as a Pullman High Greyhound, Aliya has been an active member of her community. Throughout 2018, Aliya served as the Palouse Empire Rodeo Queen and spent most of the year traveling around the PNW spreading her passion for rodeo. When her spurs aren't on, Aliya can be seen on the sidelines of PHS football games and wrestling meets as a PHS Cheerleader. This winter Aliya won second place at Skills USA regionals for her outstanding work in photography. As a junior, she served as the Treasurer of the Pullman FFA Chapter and even placed 2nd at State FFA in Veterinary Science. Aliya is thankful for the life experiences gained and memories made throughout her high school endeavors. Aliya plans to take her love of science and her passion for helping people to a career in reconstructive surgery and hopes to attend either Carroll College in Montana or the University of Washington.
Payton Kallaher is the son of Danielle and Dan Kallaher, and a senior at PHS. Payton has been a member of the PHS basketball team for the last four year and was the team captain this season. He enjoyed being a part of their 5th place finish at state. He is also a four-year member of the baseball team and hopes that this year's team finds themselves in Yakima in May for the state tournament. In addition to sports, Payton has found an interest in wood working after doing his senior project with Steve Balzarini, when he fulfilled a lifelong dream of making wooden bats. He hopes to take this skill along with him as he is interested in pursuing a career in sports-science, but he is still undecided as to where he will be headed in the fall.

There will be a German-like meal with music by Auf Gehts German Band and Soulstice. The German band is a subset of musicians from the Community Band of the Palouse. The popular group, conducted by Denise Snider, performs at various community events throughout the Palouse area. At the end of a high energy program, the Young Irelanders met eager audience members at Gladish Community and Cultural Center’s Domey Auditorium. Sponsored by Festival Dance and Performing Arts, the group staged a setting of dance and music that described the whole of the inland nation.

The troupe began the day with a Youth Reach program at Gladish that provided hundreds of fourth graders from Whitman and Latah counties the group’s dances and music of Ireland.
Soulstice plays music that people know and love—melodic classic rock, pop, R & B, and blues. Covering artists like the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Van Morrison, and Aretha Franklin, Soulstice’s soaring vocal harmonies bring a distinctive flavor to every song they play. Want to be involved?
