Pullman Regional Hospital Pullman Regional Hospital Laboratory receives accreditation from College of American Pathologists The College of American Pathologists (CAP) has awarded accreditation to Pullman Regional Hospital based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s Accreditation Programs. The CAP accreditation process is designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients. Pullman Regional Hospital is one of more than 8,000 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide. “CAP surveys use the strictest standards in laboratory quality nationally,” said Jennifer Matera, Director of the Laboratory. “It is a seal of high quality and care provided by our laboratorians.” “Accreditation by the College of American Pathologists demonstrates leadership, innovation, and a passionate commitment to standards of excellence while providing the highest quality services for patients,” said Scott Adams, CEO of Pullman Regional Hospital. The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal-to or more-stringent-than the government’s own inspection program. During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the Laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management. About the College of American Pathologists As the world’s largest organization of board-certified pathologists and leading provider of laboratory accreditation and proficiency testing programs, the College of American Pathologists (CAP) serves patients, pathologists, and the public by fostering and advocating excellence in the practice of pathology and laboratory medicine worldwide.

Weatherization Keeps Senior Citizens in their Homes
Basement Before

Pullman Community Update 7
Meet the Staff: Ginger Miller, Weatherization Coordinator How long have you worked at Community Action Center? I started June 2003, so I just hit 14 years. Describe what you do at Community Action Center. Alex (Morris) and I go out together to conduct energy audits in homes that may qualify for weatherization, and we work together on the work list for weatherization projects. Two pairs of eyes are better for doing energy audits and the final inspection at the end of a completed project. Every project and every client is a completely different scenario, so it’s hard to describe what a typical day looks like. I coordinate with the contractor. I also maintain our waiting list and follow up with clients who have let us know they are interested in weatherization. I just got my Building Analyst Certification, so I am qualified to lead energy audits. The first part of the exam was a two-hour field test where they record you as you show how you do an audit in a mock building. That was a little terrifying. A lot of people who have gone through the test told me that everybody fails the first time around, but I got 100%. What’s special about your job? It’s nice to feel like you are helping somebody. The staff of this place is great. Everybody is incredibly supportive of each other, whether it’s work or personal. It’s kind of like a second family. Everybody is willing to help each other, and there is a lot of teamwork.
Imagine an elderly widow in rural Whitman County. She hopes to live at home as long as she is able, but she struggles with health issues that impact her mobility. Her retirement income does not bring in enough money to fix the crumbling concrete porch steps or install a railing, and if the home continues to deteriorate she will have to face a tough choice: move to assisted living or take her chances in an unsafe, but beloved, home. This fictional situation reflects reality for many senior citizens with low income in our community. Thankfully, Community Action Center can step in and help with free home repairs for health and safety, keeping seniors in their own homes longer. A grant from Empire Health Foundation last year paid for a portion of projects that improved air quality in the home, prevented “slips, trips, and falls,” and even removed a crumbling chimney that threatened to fall through a roof. This year, an $8,000 grant from Empire Health Foundation will allow the senior home repairs to continue in the coming year, helping six to eight more aging residents. Most of the projects finished last year focused on air quality in the home. “A lot of seniors struggle with COPD or respiratory problems,” said Alex Morris, Weatherization Program Manager. “We provide good ventilation and get rid of mold and moisture issues.”
Senior home repairs for health and safety are just a small part of the Weatherization Program, which provides free energy efficiency improvements for qualifying homeowners and tenants. A weatherized home saves money in energy bills because it is better insulated, and has more efficient ways of producing heat such as newer furnaces or heat pumps. The Weatherization Program developed some bragging rights over the course of the year. This year, Weatherization exceeded its annual goal, weatherizing around 32 units when the program had expected to weatherize 28 units. Weatherization Coordinator Ginger Miller also received Building Analyst Certification, which qualifies her to conduct home energy audits to assess the energy efficiency of a home. Morris said the summer is the ideal time to complete weatherization projects. If residents are considering weatherization, it is helpful to contact Community Action Center now to avoid the fall rush. “A lot of people don’t think about weatherization until they start up their furnace in the fall, but a well-insulated home is cooler in the summer. It helps save money on running the air conditioner. We don’t get as many folks asking about weatherization in the summer. Now is a good time to let us know!”

What do you do in your free time? I take off camping! I’ve got a 1962 Fairlane my husband bought me. It’s a project car, and he just put a new motor in it. To test the new motor, we went to Warren, Idaho, over the 4th of July. It’s kind of a ghost town, and my family used to be settlers there. My great-grandfather put up the first power lines in Warren, and attached them to trees. My grandfather built a cabin that we visited. We climbed the Warren Summit and visited Burgdorf Hot Springs. What is your dream vacation? I’ve always thought I would like to go to Europe, and just spend months touring all over the continent.
Meet the Volunteer: Joan Swenson What is your day job? I’m Executive Chef at Paradise Creek Brewery. How long have you been volunteering at CAC? I’ve been volunteering since about January. We started working on the Chef’s Challenge fundraiser for the Community Kitchen about that time, and the event was in March. Describe your volunteer work. I started out by helping plan Chef’s Challenge, and I was a judge for the event. I helped put together the ingredients the chefs would use for the contest. I’m kind of a Food Channel junkie, and I watch a lot of Chopped. I wanted ingredients that would be challenging for the contestants to cook with. We ended up with goldfish crackers, cheddar bunnies, and pickled ginger. Most of the pantry ingredients came from the food bank. I also made appetizers for the event with food bank ingredients. Now I am helping with cooking classes at the food bank in the Community Kitchen. We did about four sessions on ways to use Swiss chard. What keeps you coming back? Once I saw the varieties of vegetables from the gardens, from everywhere, at Community Action Center’s food bank, and the way they are helping the community know how to cook them, I said, “I’m helping you guys.” I was so impressed by what they are doing, I was in. I really appreciate Joe [Astorino, Gardens and Nutrition Specialist]. I just think he is a prince. What do you do in your free time? I’m a dressage rider, and I ride my horse every day. I also have a dog and three cats to look out for. I’m an artist, but I haven’t had much time to do that lately. I just remodeled my basement into a guest apartment. What is your dream vacation? I’d love to go to Italy or Australia, and tour wine country.

How many suns are in the universe? – Kristen Dear Kristen, Our sun is really one big star and there are billions and billions of stars in our universe! “More than we can even count,” added my friend Phil Lou. He’s an expert on solar energy here at WSU. He’s really curious about finding ways to power homes and schools using energy from the sun. “Most of the energy and life around us that we know is linked to the sun,” he explained. Lou pointed out that plants use energy from the sun to help make their own food. A leftover from this process is the oxygen that we breathe. Humans can also get energy when they eat plants—or eat the animals that once ate the plants. The sun also puts energy into the oceans and evaporates water, which helps keep water moving through the planet. The sun heats land and air, which causes wind and weather. All this energy from the sun is really important to support life on Earth, Lou explained. Stars, like the sun, can come in all kinds of colors, shapes, and sizes, too. Scientists put them in different categories depending on their size, brightness, and other characteristics. According to these rules, the sun falls into the category of a yellow star. Scientists have also calculated that it’s about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit inside the sun’s core and more than 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit on its surface. Thankfully, we are 93 million miles away, so we get just the right amount of warmth and energy from it. Although our sun might be the closest star to us on Earth, it certainly is not the biggest or brightest star in the universe. “Our sun is fairly puny compared to some other stars,” Lou said. In fact, if you put our sun next to the giant star VY Canis Majoris, you could barely see it. It’s a speck, like a grain of sand next to a basketball. Consider the fact that you could fit a million Earths in our sun and you can start to realize just how big some stars can get. We are still learning about different stars and if there might be more sun-like stars out in our universe. Sincerely, Dr. Universe Read this post online at https:// askdruniverse.wsu.edu/.

ASSISTANT DEAN’S MESSAGE
STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Shane Emerson
Joal Lee
A couple of months ago, my mother-in-law went to her local hospital for a routine surgery. After a series of unexpected but serious complications, she lay in the ICU close to death. My wife, Elizabeth, our children, and I left to be with Elizabeth’s mother. A week later, the kids and I needed to return to school and work, so we left for Pullman while Elizabeth stayed behind to help and comfort where she could. The outlook for her mother remained bleak. My first morning back home, while walking up the steep College Avenue hill to work, I was overcome by the idea of losing the woman who had become my “second mom.” As I pondered her legacy, it wasn’t just the potential personal and familial loss that choked me up, it was what her loss would mean for humanity. Throughout her adult life, she has dedicated virtually all of her spare time to the care of people in need. She has made thousands of meals and hundreds of quilts for homeless people, emotionally and financially supported many struggling individuals, gone without many things in order to use those resources to help others, and provided guidance and sage advice to folks from all walks of life. My mother-in-law is now doing better, though she still has a long road to full recovery. This experience has me thinking more about the idea of a legacy. For better or worse, we all create one. What effects do each of us have on those around us and the larger community? In working with some of the students who have come to SFCC-Pullman for their college education, I have been impressed with the legacy being built by the people on the Palouse. At graduation, it is customary to thank students’ families for the support they provided during the educational journey, but the more I learn the stories of our students, the clearer it becomes to me that this support comes not just from families but also friends, acquaintances, civic organizations, churches, businesses, and even strangers. Similar to my mother-in-law, many of you are quietly helping others progress in life, and our community is made better through the caring legacies you are creating.
I was born in New Mexico in 1974, where my father was stationed for flight school. After flight school, our family moved to Albion so he could finish his degree at WSU and I have lived in the area ever since. I graduated from Pullman High in 1993 (GO HOUNDS!) and worked several different jobs for the years following, not wanting anything to do with school. I always had a hard time with learning and being unable to focus on the task at hand. I always knew that learning could do nothing but make your life better. In 2007 I was married and had two young sons. At that time I had a good job at Meyers Auto Rebuild, but I knew in my heart it was not for me. I decided I wanted to do something more with my life and chose to go back to school. This was not an easy decision, as I knew how I had performed in school previously, but I wanted to learn. In my year at SFCC Pullman, I took several classes, though math, English, health and political science were the ones I remember most. I ended up having better grades than I ever had in secondary education growing up and I felt I was retaining knowledge better than I had ever done before. I am not saying Pullman schools do not have outstanding educators, as my grades can be directly attributed to the work I put in at that time. That being said, this time I wanted to be there and SFCC Pullman had instructors who were willing to sit down with you anytime and help guide you through the task at hand. They were all very knowledgeable in their respective disciplines and had a great way of teaching their classes and creating a desire for their students to learn. One of the classes I found to have the most surprising results with was math. I despised math growing up, as I could never grasp the concepts of what was being taught when I started getting in to higher math classes. This was not the case at SFCC Pullman. I was able to finally understand the subject and enjoyed learning it.
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. Our main phone number, email, and website have stayed the same: 509-332-2706 • Pullman@Spokanefalls.edu • www.Pullman.Spokane.edu
An opportunity to join the Pullman Police Department presented itself after my first year at SFCC Pullman. I applied and was hired as an officer in July of 2008, where I have worked full time since. I did not make this decision lightly, as I felt I was learning so much while attending SFCC Pullman. I felt it was the right thing to do though, as I had a family to support and being an officer would allow me to do that. In the years since, I have encouraged numerous individuals seeking higher education, to start at SFCC Pullman when heading down that path. It can only help you succeed if you put your mind to it and the staff will support you every step of the way.

STAR PET
Meet the Astounding and Adorable Apollo! Apollo is a delightful boy with lots of energy. He only has 3 legs, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to run around and have fun. When you first meet Apollo, he can be a bit shy and cautious. Once he gets to know you, he is quite the opposite and can be very excitable! Apollo came from a home with older, respectful children and has done quite well with them. He is also house trained and reportedly never has potty accidents! Apollo is a very special boy and requires a very special home. He is quite anxious, even in a home environment. He is currently on medications to help with this anxiety. He needs a patient home willing to work with him and give him the proper mental and physical stimulation to expend this anxious energy. Apollo is very dog selective and would do best as the only pet in the home. Apollo's adoption fee is $130. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and has been tested for internal parasites. Apollo is currently in a loving foster home. Call us today to learn how to meet Apollo!
Meet the Lovely Lester! Lester came to us as a stray, found close to Campus Commons. Lester did not appear to have a lot of human interaction when he first came in to our care. He spent some time in a loving foster home where he received a lot of positive humane interaciton and is now a "normal" rat. Rats are extremely social creatures. We like to describe them as "miniature dogs". They can be trained to do tricks, but also just enjoy hanging out with their humans. Lester would most likely benefit from having another ratty friend. Lester's adoption fee is $12 and includes his neuter surgery!

BOARD REPORT
Listening and Learning: For Young and Old Alike Jim Evermann, Director, Pullman Public Schools • jfe@psd267.org Amidst all the growth in our Pullman region we have noticed the obvious as our streets get a new coat of asphalt and paint, a lot of new building ongoing in our neighborhoods, downtown, and at the airport—tangible signs that our community is a dynamic and changing place. What may get lost in this growth is the ever present need to stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and listen—yes, listen to those around us that have good ideas, have some concerns, and are most willing to support us as we try to make decisions that will affect our community for a long time to come. With our schools about to open in a few weeks we usually focus on the obvious, the students, as we review the curriculum, make sure there is adequate classroom space, and resources available in the school environment, so that learning can be optimal. We also need to re-focus on the teachers, who put in long hours to prepare for the day-to-day teaching moments they get with our kids and grandkids. The school board is very aware that when classes begin, we too, like the students and the teachers, are being placed in a position to listen and to learn. A few years ago as part of the Washington State School Directors’ Association (WSSDA) Direct newsletter, there was a great article by Kathryn Blumsack and Terry McCabe. The article reminded school board members that we have a responsibility, based upon our elected office, to do everything in our power to represent perhaps the most important daily civic commitment we as citizens make to our Pullman community, our children, and our future. Blumsack and McCabe said there are seven signs of highly effective school board members, so I will take this opportunity to present them*, because they serve to remind us of our goal to “…ensure learning while challenging and supporting each student to achieve their full potential.” 1. Although elected to our board as an individual, we must clearly understand that we are part of a democratic process to work together, to work with fellow board members, staff, teachers, students, parents, and the community at large. Although our listening is an individual response, our actions must always take into consideration the ideas that come from those we serve. 2. We are part of a team, and therefore must respect the team members, and those who provide input for us to consider. Boards whose members treat one another with respect tend to be the most effective in problem solving and making difficult decisions. The authors reminded us that collaboration and respect do not always mean consensus. 3. The board should refrain from trying to manage the school district. That is precisely what the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, and principals are selected for. The board is elected to represent the community’s best educational interests. Our job is to listen and learn the facts, and act upon that information the best we can.
4. The board should set the standard for communication within the district. The authors indicated that while we are encouraged to share and defend our views, we must listen to the views of others. We are reminded throughout of how vital it is to be able to compromise. Again the importance of hearing what others have to say and to be as open minded as possible. 5. It is vital for the board members, like the students, to do our homework and ask tough questions. We are challenged to come to our meetings, our workshops, our retreats prepared to engage in discussions, ask questions, and whenever possible, seek clarification. Here is where the team approach becomes so fruitful – because by listening to our constituents we multiply the information we gather and therefore can make a more informed decision. 6. It is good to remember that as an elected person, we must respect our oath to do our best, to maintain the communities trust, and to uphold the state of Washington’s laws pertaining to public education. As part of this oath, it is vital to that trust that we maintain confidentiality when appropriate. 7. We are expected to keep learning. The article states that to be an effective board member we must participate in professional development (WSSDA Annual Conference, workshops, etc.) and must commit the time and energy necessary to be well informed and effective leaders (good learners!). To listen and to learn are part of what it means to be in the Pullman School District. We are most thankful to the community for your continued support of our schools—contact me if you would like further information on the article by Blumsack and McCabe. *in an amended form

Anyone Can Be Good at Math! By Bill Holman, Principal, Franklin Elementary School I spent the first fourteen years of my educational career teaching math, thirteen of those at Moscow High School. During that time I encountered the full spectrum of math attitudes and perceived abilities. I heard many comments rooted in the notion of fixed mindset, generally that people are either good at math or they are not. Even more challenging was an attitude held by some that “You’re never going to use it anyway!” While it wasn’t and isn’t socially acceptable to admit being bad at reading, many students and even adults felt perfectly comfortable admitting being ‘bad at math’. I worked with and witnessed some students moving from “bad” at math to good at math, however, demonstrating the possibility that how we view ourselves as math learners is not fixed at all. I wondered what steps we might be able to take to minimize the chances of learners ever believing that they are bad at math. I am pleased to report that a lot has changed since then, both in attitudes toward math and learning and in math education. For starters, approaching education with a growth mindset, the belief that all of us are capable of
learning, is becoming much more main stream and is a huge part of the foundation of education in the Pullman District. Educators regularly experience learners making huge leaps when they believe in themselves and are believed in. While it is true that some students pick up certain things more quickly than others, all are capable. It is our responsibility as educators to create learning opportunities that have entry points for all of our students, no matter what their thinking patterns happen to be. This is as opposed to the less effective method of always ‘teaching to the middle’. To do the above well, we have to truly understand how each student thinks and to let this understanding guide instructional design. When we empathize with a student’s natural approach, he or she gets the message that who they are and how they think are just fine. The student is more willing to try when they get a chance to display and communicate their thinking, giving them greater access to the learning. We are creating learning opportunities that much more regularly have students doing the thinking and
the talking about math. This requires that teachers to learn strategies that they themselves likely never experienced as learners. Pullman Public Schools is supporting significant professional development for teachers in these areas. As examples, a few years ago several Pullman teachers began in-depth training through a program called Making Math Reasoning Explicit. These teachers in turn have worked and continue to work with others to help enhance their capacity to create rich learning opportunities with access for all. This past year, math education specialists worked extensively with teams in grades K, 1 and 2, using a very effective classroom based model of professional development. This professional development will continue for grades 3 through 5 this next year. We will continue to create opportunities for families to come to school, to learn about what is happening and how to support their children in math. It is our ultimate goal that everyone views themselves as an effective math learner. We can all be good at math!

BUSINESS MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
BUSINESS MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Citizen’s Climate Lobby, Palouse Region Chapter
Washington Idaho Symphony (509) 332-3408 washingtonidahosymphony.org
MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS Membership dues are assessed on the anniversary month of a member joining the Chamber. Special thanks go out to the following businesses and individuals who have elected to continue their support of the Pullman Chamber of Commerce: • Ace Hardware Pullman, LLC • Avalon Care Center – Pullman • Girl Scouts Eastern Washington & Northern Idaho • Highland Property Management, LLC • Merry Cellars • Pullman Child Welfare/Pullman Food Bank • Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc • SNAP Fitness • Village Centre Theatres LLC • WSECU - CUB
The Palouse chapter of the Citizens' Climate Lobby was launched in Moscow, Idaho, in March 2014, to serve both Idaho and Washington. Members are drawn from both states, and chapter meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month, 5:30-7pm, alternately in Moscow (1912 Center Senior Center) and Pullman (Umpqua Bank Meeting Rm). The Palouse Region Chapter works with legislators in Congressional District 1 in Idaho and District 5 in Washington State. The main work of the group is to lobby members of Congress and their staff members to support Revenue-Neutral Carbon Fee & Dividend legislation. This is accomplished by attending face-to-face meetings with legislators locally and in Washington, D.C., making phone calls to legislators, and sending letters and postcards. CCL also works to educate the public about Revenue-Neutral Carbon Fee & Dividend legislation through talks, discussions, and presentations, tabling events, and letters to the editor. Revenue-Neutral Carbon Fee & Dividend works by applying a fee to fuels based on the amount of carbon dioxide they will emit when burned. The fee Increases over time, thereby creating the price signal to transition to cleaner sources and uses of energy and to increase energy efficiency. To shield families from the economic impact of rising energy costs, all the revenue from the carbon fee is returned to every household as equal shares. To maintain a level playing field for American businesses, a carbon refund is given to businesses when they export to nations without a carbon fee, and an adjustment fee is applied to imports coming from nations that do not have an equivalent carbon price. http://cclpalouse.org

Carvajal Medina brings assumptions, beliefs, values, cultural heritages, traditions, and prejudices from non-homeless worlds into dialogue with the worlds of men and women who have experienced homelessness. In each workshop, stories of homeless individuals collected over three years as part of a doctoral research project will be shared. Attendees will participate in interactive exercises to designed to share insights and knowledge about homelessness, to learn from the lived experiences of different individuals, to use arts (creative writing, drawing, painting) to respond to those experiences, and to discuss actions we can take as a community to support these "houseless" individuals. Participants will develop new understandings on the houseless experiences by exploring our worlds, developing empathetic listening, dialoguing critically, creating, and acting from the positions we occupy in the community. Each workshop is different; participants may attend one, or all, of the series. Workshops are free. • Advance Care Planning Seminar.
