Pullman Regional Hospital Designated an ACR Breast Imaging Center of Excellence Imaging Services at Pullman Regional Hospital has been designated Breast Imaging Center of Excellence (BICOE) accreditation by the American College of Radiology. BICOE is the gold standard of quality in breast imaging centers. BICOE designation is awarded to breast imaging centers that achieve excellence by seeking and earning accreditation in all of the ACR’s voluntary breast-imaging accreditation programs and modules. These are Mammography, Stereotactic Breast Biopsy, and Breast Ultrasound (including ultrasoundguided breast biopsy.) Peer-review evaluations, conducted in each breast imaging modality by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field, have
determined that Pullman Regional Hospital has achieved high practice standards in image quality, staff qualifications, facility equipment, quality control procedures and quality assurance programs. “The Breast Imaging Center of Excellence indicates the highest level of quality in breast imaging to our patients,” said Darin Porter, director of Imaging Services. “Women can now look for the BICOE seal at Pullman Regional Hospital and be assured they will receive breast imaging that has been reviewed and assessed by top professionals in the field of radiology with a seal of excellence.” For more information, visit pullmanregional.org/ center-for-womens-and-childrens-health.

Child Care Aware of Eastern Washington
May 2017
Building Blocks Child Care Center
Educating Children on the Palouse since 1998 This past year has been spent navigating through new frontiers for the teachers and families at Building Blocks. We experienced the implementation of all-day Kindergarten and the passing of I-1433 and the changes it brought to our program. We also experienced navigating through our first Early Achievers Renewal Rating, with a whole team of teachers, new to the experience. In the end, our mission is what helped us get through…to be committed to providing the highest quality care and education with a program structure that follows best practice.

The Montessori School of Pullman —Now Enrolling for children aged 2 through fifth grade.
We, again, received a Quality Level of Excellence. We received recognition for specialization in CURRICULUM AND STAFF SUPPORTS. I am so proud of this specialization, because no matter the adversity we face in the ever changing field of Early Childhood Education, our foundation comes from our teaching team. We are dedicated to providing support and encouragement to our teachers as we are all forever learners! Our center provides a curriculum designed to meet the social/emotional, cognitive and physical needs of all children. We believe play is essential to a child’s growth and development. Play is a child’s way of learning and exploring through his or her world. Through play, children learn cooperation, problem solving, mathematics and broader vocabulary skills. We have programs for children ages 4 weeks to 12 years old. Our spacious facility has seven bright and sunny classrooms with direct access to our fenced playground. We share our campus with Bishop Place Senior Living, offering an inter-generational experience for our students and their residents. Our hours of operation are 7:00 am to 5:30 pm and we are open year round.
Enrollment Openings: • Summer Camp: We have a few slots available in our Pre-Kindergarten and School-Age Summer Camps (June 19th-August 25th) • Preschool Enrichment Available for 3.5-5.5 years. We offer a specialized Preschool Enrichment Rate, with a calendar that follows the Pullmans School District Calendar. Preschool Enrichment runs September 5th-May 25th. • Call to schedule a tour today, for all other enrollment inquiries!
Collaborating to Support Families
The term “Montessori” is now commonly used to describe the educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator, Dr. Maria Montessori. Based on her own observations and scientific studies, as well as collaboration with other professionals, she developed a method of teaching and materials designed to aid in the child’s development. Her method has been well tested, being used in schools throughout the world for over one hundred years. In Pullman, the Montessori School has been in operation since 1968, and situated right here in the Gladish building since the eighties. We follow the guidelines established by Dr. Montessori, and recognize the importance of children moving their bodies and working with their hands, in order to learn. Working at their own individual pace, children develop independence, self-esteem and confidence.
Boost Collaborative continually seeks new ways to support the families we serve. A yearly survey completed by Washington State’s Department of Early Learning/Early Support for Infants and Toddlers program assesses families’ experiences with their early intervention program. The results provide us with information needed to design program improvements. Past surveys have consistently revealed that families raising children with special needs feel isolated from their communities, and that parents would like to connect with other families with similar challenges. Families Together and Boost Collaborative are excited to be working together to connect families with one another through a class designed to support families through positive relationships. Titled “Attachment and Security: Supporting Emotional Development of Young Children”, the class is uniquely designed to promote conversations about the emotional needs of parents and children, stresses of raising a child with additional needs, connecting with other programs and resources, and advocating for their child. The classes provide opportunities for parents to talk with each other and see that they are not alone in this process. Childcare is provided during class time. The Play Group component allows parents and children to come together to explore play strategies, with support of class instructors as needed, followed by a wrap-up time where children join together while the parents connect with one another. This class is available at no cost to all families with a child birth to three with a special need. For more information, or if you have concerns about your child’s development, please contact Boost Collaborative at 509-332-4420 or email us at suek@boostcollaborativewa.org.
Child Care Aware of Eastern Washington is sponsored by:
The Montessori Method hopes to: awaken the child’s spirit and imagination, encourage the child’s desire for independence and self-esteem, develop the child’s sense of kindness, courtesy and self-discipline, and help the child learn how to observe, question and explore ideas independently. We invite you to see for yourself the Montessori difference. Ms. Bev, the Director, would love to give you a tour, followed by a chance to watch our children work in any of our three different age environments for two year olds, three to six, and/or six to eleven year olds. Our flexible summer program runs from June 12 – August 4, and children can join us on a week by week basis. You can also follow us on Facebook, check out our website (www.pullmanmontessori.org) or call 509-334-4114 or email Montessori@pullman.com for more information.
Friday, May 12, 2017, is Provider Appreciation Day It is a special day to recognize child care providers, teachers and other educators of young children everywhere. Started in 1996 by a group of volunteers in New Jersey, Provider Appreciation Day is appropriately celebrated each year on the Friday before Mother's Day. The founding organizers saw the need to recognize the tireless efforts of providers who care for children of working parents. Momentum and support for this event has grown each year and recognition presently includes individuals and government organizations throughout the United States. Be sure to thank your child’s Early Learning Professional!

Outside spring cleaning tips
Pullman Fire Department has a few safety tips and suggestions for those spring cleanup activities. • Rake up leaves, dead limbs and twigs. Remove dead branches that extend over the roof. Prune tree branches and shrubs within 15 feet of a stovepipe or chimney outlet. • Remove leaves and rubbish from around and under wooden decks or porches, beneath windows, or next to vehicles. • Regularly clean your roofs and gutters. What are you going to do with your yard waste? Remember that burning yard waste, trash or debris is prohibited within Pullman city limits. If you are into gardening composting, is a great way to get rid of those old leaves. Not into composting, have it picked up by Pullman Disposal Service or haul your yard waste out to the Whitman County Landfill and dump it at no cost. Call (334-1914) or go to Pullman Disposal Service’s web site pullmandisposal.com/yard. htm to find out more about their yard waste collection service. Some other spring activities might involve gasoline, paint thinners, and flammable materials. Think about the increased danger of such products as you use them. Treat flammable liquids with respect because they are always ready to ignite from a cigarette, static spark or other source of ignition. • Place your outdoor cooking equipment on a non-combustible base if possible and keep it away from materials, which will readily ignite such as the vinyl siding of your home. • Keep a clear 10-foot area around propane tanks and the barbecue. • When dumping ashes, put them in a metal bucket and either soak in water or let stand for several days before disposing of them. Do not place coals in a paper bag or cardboard box. • Store gasoline, oily rags and other flammable materials in approved safety cans. Place cans in a safe location away from the base of buildings and hot water heaters. • To properly dispose of household chemicals, old paints, etc. call the Whitman County Solid Waste Transfer Station 334-2400 for information on what chemicals can or cannot be accepted and hours of operation. • Always wear proper sight, hearing and foot protection when using power tools including weed trimmers and lawn mowers. Don’t forget to shut down the tool when refueling, unclogging or anytime you have to get your hands near the cutting part of the tool.

To ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes limits on the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Our drinking water is groundwater supplied by five underground wells. As water travels over the surface of or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and radioactive materials, and can pick up many substances produced by the presence of animals or human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can occur naturally or result from storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, storm water runoff, and residential uses. • Microbial contaminants such as viruses, parasites and bacteria that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations or wildlife. • Radioactive contaminants which can occur naturally or result from oil and gas production and mining activities. • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organics, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, storm water runoff and septic systems. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, those who have had organ transplants, those with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). In Washington State, lead in drinking water comes primarily from materials and components used in household plumbing. The more time water has been sitting in pipes the more dissolved metals, such as lead, it may contain. Elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially in pregnant women and young children. To help reduce potential exposure to lead: for any drinking water tap that has not been used for six hours or more, flush water through the tap until the water is noticeably colder before using for drinking or cooking. You can use the flushed water for watering plants, washing dishes or general cleaning. Only use water from the cold-water tap for drinking, cooking and especially for making baby formula. Hot water is likely to contain higher levels of lead. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water is available from EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 or online at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
National Primary Drinking Water Regulation Compliance
Footnotes: 1. Only contaminants that were found in the drinking water are listed. 2. Some contaminants are not required to be sampled annually. Only the most recent sample date is listed. 3. The highest detection is reported as the 90th percentile sample. In 2016 a total of 35 samples were analyzed with 0 above the Action Limit 4. The highest detection is reported as the 90th percentile sample. In 2016 a total of 35 samples were analyzed with 0 above the Action Limit 5. Iron and manganese are not regulated by the EPA, however, the Washington State Department of Health has established a Secondary MCL for iron and manganese. Secondary MCLs are based on factors other than health effects. For these contaminants, aesthetic quality is the basis for the Secondary MCL. There are no requirements to treat or remove these contaminants from the drinking water. 6. The lowest to highest detected contaminant levels for any contaminant for samples taken between 1/1/2012 and 12/31/2016.
Required Additional Health Information
Other Monitoring The City of Pullman also tests for other substances and microscopic organisms that are sometimes found in water for which no standards have been set. The City has taken the initiative to monitor issues that concern the people in this area, even though the City is not required by law to do so. As part of the City’s water quality report, it is important to point out that tests have been performed to detect the presence of herbicides and pesticides and no evidence of either has been found. The City of Pullman is active in protecting the community and will notify consumers immediately of any waterborne health threat. The City of Pullman Water Department is available to answer any questions regarding water quality and supply. Please contact Art Garro at (509)338-3238 for more information.

BOARD REPORT
Pullman Schools Aim to Provide “Soft Skills” Education in Addition to Academic Instruction Craig Nelson Principal, Jefferson Elementary The Pullman schools are working every day to prepare students for a bright future. Many people think that this is limited to academic instruction as the core of preparing for that future. In fact, the schools are also working on what are called “soft skills”. These are the skills that employers are looking for as well. The different sets of skills needed to succeed in the employment market are all important. Numerous studies have identified these critical employability skills, referred to as "soft skills." The skills from these many studies are collected into this list of skills most frequently mentioned. These skills are being taught in the Pullman Public Skills in every grade level kindergarten through 12th grade. This list was collected and published by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D., and Katharine Hansen, Ph.D.
Skills Most Sought After by Employers
employers desire employees who will arrive to work every day - on time - and ready to work, and who will take responsibility for their actions. Loyalty. Employers want employees who will have a strong devotion to the company—even at times when the company is not necessarily loyal to its employees. Positive Attitude/Motivation/Energy/Passion. The job-seekers who get hired and the employees who get promoted are the ones with drive and passion—and who demonstrate this enthusiasm through their words and actions. Professionalism. Deals with acting in a responsible and fair manner in all your personal and work activities, which is seen as a sign of maturity and selfconfidence; avoid being petty.
So, what are these critical employability skills that employers demand of job-seekers?
Self-Confidence. Look at it this way: if you don't believe in yourself, in your unique mix of skills, education, and abilities, why should a prospective employer? Be confident in yourself and what you can offer employers.
Communications Skills (listening, verbal, written). By far, the one skill mentioned most often by employers is the ability to listen, write, and speak effectively. Successful communication is critical in business.
Self-Motivated/Ability to Work With Little or No Supervision. While teamwork is always mentioned as an important skill, so is the ability to work independently, with minimal supervision.
Analytical/Research Skills. Deals with your ability to assess a situation, seek multiple perspectives, gather more information if necessary, and identify key issues that need to be addressed.
Willingness to Learn. No matter what your age, no matter how much experience you have, you should always be willing to learn a new skill or technique. Jobs are constantly changing and evolving, and you must show an openness to grow and learn with that change. President Jim Evermann, Director, District 3 Final Thoughts jfe@psd267.org Employability skills and
Computer/Technical Literacy. Almost all jobs now require some basic understanding of computer hardware and software, especially word processing, spreadsheets, and email. Flexibility/Adaptability/Managing Multiple Priorities. Deals with your ability to manage multiple assignments and tasks, set priorities, and adapt to changing conditions and work assignments. Interpersonal Abilities. The ability to relate to your co-workers, inspire others to participate, and mitigate conflict with co-workers is essential given the amount of time spent at work each day. Leadership/Management Skills. While there is some debate about whether leadership is something people are born with, these skills deal with your ability to take charge and manage your co-workers. Multicultural Sensitivity/Awareness. There is possibly no bigger issue in the workplace than diversity, and job-seekers must demonstrate a sensitivity and awareness to other people and cultures. Planning/Organizing. Deals with your ability to design, plan, organize, and implement projects and tasks within an allotted timeframe. Also involves goal-setting. Problem-Solving/Reasoning/Creativity. Involves the ability to find solutions to problems using your creativity, reasoning, and past experiences along with the available information and resources.
Board of Directors
personal values are the critical tools and traits you need to succeed in the workplace -- and they are all elements that you can learn, cultivate, develop, and maintain over your lifetime. Once you have identified the sought-after skills and values and assessed the degree to which you possess them, remember to document them and market them (in your resume, cover letter, and interview answers) for job-search success.
Karl Johanson, Director, District 4 Karlj2@psd267.org Dean Kinzer, Director, District 5 dkinzer@psd267.org Allison Munch-Rotolo, Director, District 2 Amunch-rotolo@psd267.org Susan Weed, Director, District 1 Sweed@psd267.org
Teamwork. Because so many jobs involve working in one or more workgroups, you must have the ability to work with others in a professional manner while attempting to achieve a common goal.
Personal Values Employers Seek in Employees Of equal importance to skills are the values, personality traits, and personal characteristics that employers seek. Look for ways to weave examples of these characteristics into your resume, cover letters, and answers to interview questions. Here is our list of the 10 most important categories of values. Honesty/Integrity/Morality. Employers probably respect personal integrity more than any other value, especially in light of the many recent corporate scandals. Adaptability/Flexibility. Deals with openness to new ideas and concepts, to working independently or as part of a team, and to carrying out multiple tasks or projects. Dedication/Hard-Working/Work Ethic/Tenacity. Employers seek jobseekers who love what they do and will keep at it until they solve the problem and get the job done. Dependability/Reliability/Responsibility. There's no question that all

In addition to individual volunteers, community and student groups provide one-time group service projects. Thank you to the generous individual and group volunteers who made 2016 a remarkable year of caring about Pullman senior citizens through Senior Chore Service.

Whitman County Humane Society STAR PETS
Sunshine Sassy Sunshine is tons of fun and very sweet! She thinks she's an interior designer and is constantly rearranging her enclosure. She loves attention and praise. Sunshine is a big fan of nose tickles. She also has become quite the "mother figure" to her stuffed animals. She can be found grooming them and snuggling with them. Sunshine is extremely intelligent, she uses her litter box perfectly and even knows her name! Like most rabbits, Sunshine is not a big fan of being handled and can become quite territorial over her space. Because of this, she may not be the best fit for young children. Sunshine's adoption fee is $60. She is spayed and dewormed and is in great health. Come in to meet Sunshine today and the staff would be happy to talk all about her fun quirks!

Community Action Center
Chef’s Challenge Whips up Community Support for Kitchen
The first annual Chef’s Challenge to raise funds for the Community Kitchen pitted local chefs against each other in a race against the clock to complete gourmet dishes using ingredients commonly found at the food bank. Chef Matthew Lasof of WSU’s Northside Café went home with the Golden Spatula, while contenders Chef William Wohlfeil of South Fork and Ryan Avery enjoyed fervent support from their respective fan bases. The event raised nearly $3,000 in tickets and raffle sales, and together with corporate donations, including a generous gift from SEL, Community Action Center succeeded in reaching the goal of raising all necessary funds to complete the Community Kitchen. The Community Kitchen will serve as home base for food and nutrition classes at the food bank and allows Community Action Center to rescue and repackage healthy meals from WSU Dining Services and, in the future, other food businesses in Pullman. Thanks to our event sponsors: • Paradise Creek Brewery • AmeriCorps Vista • Washington State University
• WSU Center for Civic Engagement • Gladish Community & Cultural Center • Charlie’s Produce
We would also like to thank the Financial Sponsors who helped us to exceed our $21,000 fundraising goal to complete the Community Kitchen at Community Action Center! Thank you for your generosity, especially to SEL Inc. for an extremely generous donation we received at the event!

Meet the Staff: Liz Corsetti, Section 8 Program Coordinator Describe what you do at Community Action Center. Our goal is to put families in safe, affordable housing. We work with landlords who provide housing for tenants. We make sure tenants’ income qualifies them for the program. We also help people who need help to find housing through the program. On a dayto-day basis, we make sure people continue to qualify for the program and that they have safe, affordable housing. We have landlords who love working with the program. Anyone can be a Section 8 landlord, they just have to be willing to partner with the program and meet our requirements. What’s the best part of your job? I would have to say seeing a family have enough income that they no longer qualify for the Section 8 program. That’s what makes the day-to-day struggle worth it for me. What do you do in your free time? Sleep! (laughs) We have a Chiweenie; he’s the office mascot as well. I like to take him out to parks and on walks. He’s my de-stressor. Some people have kids, I have a fur baby! What is your favorite movie? Do I have to pick just one? You can pick two or three. Dirty Dancing and Remember the Titans. It took me years to track down Remember the Titans on DVD. I finally found it at a yard sale. I love old school movies.
Meet the Board: Bill Skavdahl What is your day job? I’m a financial advisor at Waddell and Reed. How long have you served on the CAC board? I was on the board in the ‘90s for a few years, then left the board, then came back on in 2010. So, nine years in all: two in the ‘90s and the last seven years.
Community Need Remains High Over Summer Break It’s an annual ritual. As WSU students graduate each May and the campus empties out, Pullman’s population shrinks. Over summer vacation, our small town transforms into a bucolic backwater. Families go on extended trips and those left in Pullman listen to crickets and watch the wheat grow.
lunch. During the summer vacation the loss of that food results in more hunger. Although there are a few initiatives underway in Pullman to provide meals for kids over the weekend, Pullman does not have a summer lunch program for kids who qualify for free school meals.
At the Community Food Bank each summer, the shelves tend to mirror the emptiness of the town. While donations peak around Thanksgiving and Christmas, donation levels drop when residents leave over the summer. Food Bank staff and volunteers struggle to fill a need that is often greater in the summer than in the winter.
While working at the food bank last summer, Starkey noticed a family of six look over the depleted shelves. The kids were whining, saying they were hungry. Their mother told them she was sorry, but they had to take what was available at the food bank; they couldn’t afford other food. She asked Starkey for help and ideas in making the food that was available last longer.
“For people experiencing hunger, it doesn’t go away when school is out. In fact, often hunger is more of an issue in the summer months when families can’t fall back on school meals,” said Cheryl Starkey, Family Program Specialist at CAC.
Please help us avoid this type of preventable situation this summer. When everybody makes food donations over the summer months, Pullman can help meet basic needs for its most vulnerable residents.
Why do you serve on the board? I’m convinced I was put on this planet to serve others. In the same way as others have enriched my life, it’s important that I focus outward and serve others with my funds and time. What do you do in your free time? My wife Susie and I like to go to the lake in the summer, and go up to the mountains to ski in the winter. I’m also a runner. I like to stay active. I’m a gardener, too. Susie and I are involved with the college group at our church, the Evangelical Free Church. Susie is also very involved with the jazz choir at University of Idaho. Music is a big part of our lives. What is your favorite movie? It’s a Wonderful Life. Susie and I have watched it for years. We pull it out every December and make an event out of it. We’re both big Jimmy Stewart fans.

PULLMAN CAMPUS
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
ASSISTANT DEAN’S MESSAGE
Timothy Chatburn
My name is Timothy Chatburn. I graduated from the Spokane Falls Community College Pullman Center in the spring of 2013. I am currently working on a PhD in political behavior at Washington State University. After graduating high school, like many young people I had no direction or ideas about what I wanted to do with my life. After spending several years figuring things out, I decided to return to school with a new sense of purpose; however, by this time that task seemed overwhelming. I decided to enroll at SFCC-Pullman thinking it would be a good starting point. My expectations were exceeded. My time at SFCC-Pullman was central to where I am now. The classes and the instructors boosted my confidence, prepared me intellectually for success, and made the possibility of realizing my dreams real. Upon graduating from SFCC-Pullman, I was invited to finish my Bachelor’s degree as a member of the Honors College at WSU followed by being accepted into the Doctorate Program in Political Science. It is safe to say, these two achievements would not have been possible had it not been for my decision to start my journey at the Pullman Center. I feel very strongly about the role that community colleges play in preparing millions of people for success. The biggest dreams start in the seemingly smallest places, and I owe the realization of my goals to my beginnings at SFCC-Pullman.

Our long, cold winter and cold, wet spring have me thinking about warmth and the sun. In Plato’s allegory of the cave, the prisoner emerges from the cave and, after his eyes adjust, contemplates the profound influence of the sun and how it is responsible for the seasons and so many other things. In our day, with lightbulbs, centralized heating, fitness centers, climate-controlled cars, and endless forms of indoor electronic entertainment, the importance of the sun can fade from our awareness. But it is striking how absolutely we depend on the sun. There are the obvious cases: solar panels provide electricity; plants, including Palouse grains and legumes, are grown by the sun; and livestock eat the plants. Slightly less obvious are coal, oil, and gas that we use are basically concentrated converted sunlight stored underground eons ago.Even less obvious, to me at least, are wind and hydropower. The sun affects the wind that drives the windmills, and the energy of the sun lifts water from the low places to the high places where it runs back down again and spins the turbines we have built. I would be hard-pressed to think of a single human activity or product that isn’t in some way dependent on the energy of the sun. And yet, in the course of an average day, many of us probably don’t give the importance of the sun much thought at all. In some ways, the sun and its ubiquitous effects are like education. How do we know what we know? Most of us don’t spend much time reflecting on this, but knowledge—and the power of wise decision-making it enables–changes who we are and what we do. Education is a life-long process of growth that can shed ever more light on our understanding. SFCC-Pullman has gotten off to a great start at its new location on WSU’s campus. Surrounded by the wonderful glow of this excellent university, we will continue to share the light of knowledge with those who come seeking it.
Thank you, WSU, for the Warm Welcome! Throughout the process of relocating to WSU’s campus, WSU administration, faculty, and staff have been incredibly gracious and helpful. We would like to extend a special thank-you to the WSU Provost office for the warm welcome they gave us on April 5th.
