The PRH Auxiliary received its 509(c)(3) status thanks to Gail Gearhiser’s and attorney Kelly Brown’s efforts in the early 1990’s. Gail has served the Auxiliary many ways: member of the Garden Fair Committee, board secretary and vice president and following her leadership year, she was there as board past president. She learned about the Auxiliary from friends Susie Gormsen and Ellen Eng. “I saw this as an opportunity to give back to my community with two women I held in high regard.” Gail joins many others in recognizing best memories are the Auxiliary activities. “My best memories of the Auxiliary activities include several special ones,” she said. “It took a village to put on the Garden Fair but always fun to see the community come out and enjoy it.” The gift shop, now Diane’s Gift Garden, also was a favorite. “Starting the gift shop in a closet in the lobby of the old hospital and watching it grow to the successful endeavor it has become today has been wonderful to watch,” Gail said. She said the Fashion Show and Tea helped her gain many lasting friendships from this event and the Trash to Treasure Sale which only lasted a couple of years provided many fun memories. Gail hopes the Auxiliary will host events which bring the generations together to expose the future volunteers to the pleasure one receives from
either giving their time, money or both. “The rewards of volunteering last a lifetime,” she said. “Some of my best memories are from my volunteer activities. I attended the December Auxiliary luncheon for the first time in many years. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing everyone and realized I need to volunteer to help with the $50 for 50 campaign.” Gail moved to Pullman in 1983 and works for IMSB law firm. “Selling our home after 25 years, downsizing and remodeling an apartment in a 1906 house has been an adventure,” she said. “Now it is time to renew my efforts as a volunteer.” Pullman Regional Hospital Auxiliary is celebrating 50 years of supporting patient comfort with a $50 for 50 year campaign. Please drop off your check at Diane’s Gift Garden or mail it to PRH Auxiliary, 835 SE Bishop Blvd., Pullman, WA 99163.

College Colors Day
AUGUST 2018
School of Music Presents
August 31
Nunsense II: The Second Coming
Wear your colors and show your pride! collegecolorsday.com
August 24 & 25, 8 p.m. Bryan Hall Theatre Nunsense II: The Second Coming takes place six weeks after the sisters have staged their first benefit. The sisters are back presenting a “thankyou” show for all the people who supported them in the past. But now, they’re a bit slicker, having been “bitten by the theater bug.” Things get to off to a rousing start as the sisters sing “Nunsense, the Magic Word,” but before long, chaos erupts. Two Franciscans come to claim Sister Mary Amnesia (who has won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes) as one of their own. At the same time the nuns hear that a talent scout is in the audience to see them strut their stuff. From the riotous bingo game run by Sister Amnesia to the hilarious duet, “What Would Elvis Do?”, to the rousing finale, “There’s Only One Way to End Your Prayers” and “That’s to Say Amen!”, this show will have you rolling in the aisles! The four sisters will be played by Katie Berndt, Kristina Gaumnitz, Leticia Monteiro, and Anya Guadamuz. They will be joined by Dr. Lori Wiest as Mother Superior and directed by Dr. Julie Anne Wieck, both members of the School of Music faculty. Tickets will be available at the door of Bryan Hall Theatre 90 minutes before each performance. Tickets are $10 for students and senior citizens, and $15 for general admission.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Megan Warnock
Hello, my name is Megan Warnock. I grew up in Pullman, WA. I graduated from Pullman High School in 2003. I had two children and knew I needed to be an example of what hard work and determination look like. I was a single mom, who was working at a child care center and needed a degree to move up in my position. I chose Spokane Falls Community College because it was close, flexible, and I was able to do some of my classes online. Growing up in Pullman, the ability to stay in my home town, and still go to college was a big incentive for me. I graduated from Spokane Falls Community College- Pullman in 2012 with my AA in Early Childhood Education. The small class sizes, the flexibility with schedules, and support of my instructors helped me succeed. I loved how friendly the professors and staff were and that no matter what question I had, I felt supported and respected. I was able to participate at graduation and have my girls see their mom fulfill a dream. Juggling school, working full time, and parenthood was not easy, but I was able to do it with the support of the staff at the Pullman campus, my family, and friends. I continued my education at Walden University, and I just graduated with my BS in Human Services- Child and Adolescent development. I was able to do this degree because Spokane Falls set me up for success! I was able to go into a new set of challenges with a solid foundation under my feet. I am currently working at a low-income school in Clarkston, WA. I am a Title 1 Assistant and love helping children and my community. I can work alongside my own children, and I am loving it! I’m not sure what my next step in life is or what job I will pursue next, but right now I am where I need to be, doing something that I absolutely love. I have always had a passion for working with children and helping them be their very best!
Lentil Festival SFCC Pullman Campus will be at the Lentil Festival this year. Come see us in the parade on August 18th or stop by our booth over the weekend and say hello!
PULLMAN CAMPUS MANAGER’S MESSAGE
Dyan Bledsoe
When was the last time you stretched your comfort zone and tried something new? This year, with the encouragement of our English instructor, Alissa Bourbonnais, I enrolled in an adult ballet class in Pullman. When I say it stretched my comfort zone, I mean it both figuratively and literally. As an instructor and campus manager, I am confident in my skills and comfortable in my environment. In the ballet class, I occasionally wonder why I am exposing myself to that level of public incompetence, but the adventure, challenge, and sheer joy of trying something new has kept me dancing week after week. The teacher’s encouragement and positive feedback have also kept me motivated. I am a 47-year-old woman who still wants to make my teacher proud. This experience has helped me to empathize more fully with our new students. We have many students who come to our campus feeling completely out of their element. They are intimidated by the location and their fear of failure. They worry that they will be the only student that doesn’t understand a concept or pass a test, but with the support of our faculty and staff, they persevere. Currently, I have been working with a new student, a recent immigrant from Southeast Asia. She had the courage, despite a language barrier, to walk through the front doors of the college and sign up for a course. She is not in her comfort zone, but slowly, she is gaining confidence, and with that confidence comes new skills and abilities. For most of us, the most challenging part of starting a new endeavor is taking the first step. If you have always wanted to take a college class, but you were worried about feeling out of your element, don’t let that stop you. New challenges help us grow, change, and live life to the fullest.

Meet the talented Tabitha!
AUGUST 2018
Kettle & Corn
This beautiful girl was surrendered to us due to landlord issues. Tabitha is a very sweet kitty and she enjoys getting lots and lots of attention! Our favorite thing about Tabitha is that she has quite the personality and isn’t afraid to tell you how she is feeling. Think this sweet kitty might be the one for you? Come visit Tabitha today! Tabitha’s adoption fee is $80 which includes her spay surgery, testing for FeLV/FIV, microchipping, testing and treatment for internal parasites, and up-to-date vaccinations.
Kettle and Corn came to us as strays after being abandoned outside this winter. No one came to claim them so they are available for adoption. Bunnies make great companions and are just as entertaining (if not more) than your average cat or dog. They bounce, flounce, and hip hop around! Large rabbits like Kettle and Corn will require lots of room to play, a safe enclosure to sleep in, and lots of veggies and hay. If you have never owned a rabbit, no problem! We are very pleased to help anyone learn how to care for Kettle or Corn. Either of them may be adopted for $60, which includes their spay or neuter surgery. Adopt any of a single species and get 50% off the second adoption fee. On Tuesdays only we do TwoFur Tuesday where the second adoption fee is completely waived.

Stephanie Bray Recommended as Franklin Elementary School Interim Principal Stephanie Bray, currently a first grade teacher at Sunnyside Elementary, was selected through a rigorous process and from among three finalist candidates to be recommended for hire as an interim principal of Franklin Elementary School beginning in July, 2018. The recommendation to appoint Mrs. Bray to the position of Principal at Franklin Elementary School will be considered by the Pullman School District Board of Directors at the June 27, 2018 board meeting. A comprehensive interview process was conducted on June 14th and included a formal interview and presentation to the interview committee, a written exercise, an observation and written feedback of a lesson, a tour of Franklin and an interview with Franklin students, and a staff and community open forum. The comprehensive interview process began at 9 a.m. with four finalist candidates, however one of the candidates asked to be removed from consideration around 2 p.m. in order to accept another position in another district. In view of these unforeseen circumstances, the shrinking pool of candidates, and the need for a principal starting July 1, the interview committee, including current members of the Franklin Elementary staff, recommended that the position become an interim position for one year. Stephanie Bray emerged as a capable and desirable candidate, and she is familiar with Franklin staff and families as she completed part of her administrative internship under Mr. Holman at Franklin Elementary.
Students from Franklin that met with Mrs. Bray noted that “I feel very comfortable around her” and that she “had cool ideas and she wants to keep our traditions”.
Nearly 100 staff members and community members joined the candidates at an open forum where they had the opportunity to meet and talk to each candidate. The feedback from guests was very supportive of selecting Mrs. Bray as Franklin principal. One employee noted that Mrs. Bray has a “very positive connection The interview committee consisted of with students, communicates well, and knows administrators, a board member (Allison and understands Franklin and Pullman School Munch-Rotolo), 2 district instructional coaches, District.” A parent noted that Mrs. Bray 4 Franklin staff members, and 2 Franklin parents is an “excellent communicator and is very selected by lottery. knowledgeable about elementary level students

CITY OF PULLMAN
24 Pullman Community Update
City strives to provide excellent service The city of Pullman is striving for excellence, especially in terms of customer experience. Two of Pullman’s departments have embraced continuous improvement programs. The Library and Public Works are exploring how they can leverage innovative solutions to improve some of their everyday processes. The Library started by focusing on user experience and developing systems to enhance how patrons interact with both staff and the items patrons want to check out. Public Works tackled what was once a 14-page permitting process and pared it down to three pages. For both of these departments, our customers have already seen improvements in how they interact with our teams and staff have expressed feelings of empowerment in their work. By collaborating with the Alliance for Innovation, Pullman has new resources to help develop ways to achieve excellence in providing local government services. Our goal is to achieve higher-quality customer service outcomes for our internal and external customers. We want to move beyond a top-down approach and really embrace ideas from all levels of the organization. We will ultimately emulate the model of developing an internal team that works to achieve greater levels of excellence in all of our city departments. Our residents have high expectations and our goal is to exceed those expectations by working hand in hand with the Alliance for Innovation.
Back-to-School Safety Reminders As the new school year begins, the Pullman Police Department would like to offer a few reminders for keeping our community and our students safe as they travel to and from school and throughout our neighborhoods.
When possible, children are encouraged to travel in groups, making them more easily visible. Remind children to stay on sidewalks and not cut through yards or alleys, and to NEVER accept rides or get into a car with a stranger!
Drivers should remember that pedestrians have the right-of-way in crosswalks. Keep crosswalks clear to allow easy visibility. Remember that children are unpredictable pedestrians, and can be difficult to see. Take extra care to watch for children crossing roadways near school zones, playgrounds, parks, and residential areas.
Bicyclists are subject to the same laws as motorists. Regardless of what the law requires, the Pullman Police Department recommends that all operators and passengers wear bicycle helmets. If your child will bike to/from school, be sure to teach him or her about defensive riding. Bicyclists should never assume that a driver sees them, and should look carefully in all directions for vehicles, other bicyclists, and pedestrians. Extra care should be taken when nearing intersections or driveways where vehicles may be turning, entering or exiting.
Speed limits on most residential Pullman streets is 25 mph, with 20 mph limits in school zones when children are present. Fines for speeding are increased in school and construction zones. Please, slow down and obey posted limits.
Parents are encouraged to travel the approved walking/biking route with children prior to the first day Never pass a school bus with red lights flashing. These lights indicate that the vehicle is stopped to load of school. Ensure that the route is safe, assess potential hazards, and pick a route with the fewest possible or unload passengers. Traffic in both directions must stop to allow children to safely enter or exit the school number of street crossings. This will help you to know where to begin looking for your child should there be bus. Be alert and obey lights, providing children with a problem to or from school. Discuss with your child plenty of space and time to clear the roadway. It is safe places to go for help, such as houses belonging to illegal to pass a school bus while red lights flash, and trusted adults, school, and businesses along the path. fines for violations of this law are significant. Discuss what your child should do if approached by Drivers are prohibited from talking on cell phones, an unknown adult who attempts to grab them or lure reading, writing, or sending text messages while them to their car or house. Have your child practice driving. Put the phone down and keep your eyes on the yelling “NO!”, and screaming for help. Tell your child road at all times. Remember, young lives are depending to fight back if they are grabbed, to get to a safe place, on it! tell a trusted adult and call 911. Students should only cross the street at crosswalks, Parents are encouraged to become familiar with looking both ways before stepping into the street. While their child’s friends, to know where they live, and to crossing guards assist students in safely crossing roads keep a list of addresses and telephone numbers handy near schools, drivers can assist in this effort by obeying in case of an emergency. Keep older kids active and the crossing guard’s instructions and using extra care reduce the risk of delinquent behaviors by getting them in school, recreation, and residential areas. Parents involved in activities in the after-school hours. and caregivers should teach children to obey crossing The start of a new school year is an exciting and guards, ditch distractions (including cell phones or busy time for families. It is up to all of us to be safe and portable games), make eye contact with drivers, and use care before entering roadways or exiting sidewalks. watch out for kids!

Clear overgrowth for safety For the safety of all persons, it is important to maintain city sidewalks and streets to keep them free of overhanging tree limbs, weeds, and shrubs, which interfere with the passage of vehicles or pedestrians, block vision or traffic signs or obstruct the view of any intersection. Under Pullman City Code 11.50.020, it is the responsibility of the property owner to prune, remove or destroy all trees, plants, shrubs or vegetation, which overhang into a sidewalk clearance area, a pedestrian clearance area or street clearance area. Under Pullman City Code 1.88.050, trees and shrubs overhanging a public street and/or sidewalk shall be pruned to maintain an unobstructed clearance the full width of the pavement or sidewalk, 7 feet above the sidewalk and 16.5 feet above the street. For your safety, firefighters need to be able to see and connect to hydrants. Vegetation should be cleared three feet on all sides. For questions, call (509) 338-3273.

2018 Poster Artwork by Laurel Macdonald
“I grew up on a farm in southern Idaho, and I’m endlessly attracted to gardening and making art. For the Lentil Festival poster, I wanted to depict various machines involved in growing lentils, past and future. I started by drawing an old combine, like the ones I grew up with, and then a contemporary combine that has computers that can register the humidity and determine the right time for harvest. Finally, I wanted to include a drone which can monitor the fields and provide essential crop information. I also wanted to include aspects of the festival, and music is a huge part of the experience. As students return to WSU and UI in the fall, they can enjoy a variety of bands that contribute to the celebratory feel of the festival!”
