Dr. Universe: How do some trees survive after being burned in a wildfire? -S.P., Quilcene, WA While it might seem like wildfires only cause destruction, they are actually a natural and important part of keeping forests healthy. After many years, trees have adapted to their homes. Some are pretty invincible when it comes to surviving a wildfire. There are a few ways they can survive, says my friend Andy Perleberg. He’s a forestry expert at Washington State University. One thing that protects trees from wildfire is thick bark. In Washington state, the most common trees with really thick bark are the western larch and ponderosa pine. Ponderosa pine actually has jigsaw-puzzle shaped pieces of bark. When on fire, these scales peel back and fall to the floor, taking the fire back to the ground. The tree makes sugar—its food– through a process called photosynthesis. Under the bark is a very important part of the tree that helps the tree mobilize sugar called the phloem. It helps move sugars around the tree and to the roots. The thick layer of bark also helps protect the tree’s food-processing system from fire and other damage so it can get the energy it needs to survive. When a fire happens, some trees will release a kind of sticky, honey-like substance called sap, or pitch. The pitch will flow into cracks where fire could reach that very fragile phloem. Dead trees and old plants that turn into ash return important things, called nutrients, to the soil. The old trees also become habitats to some kinds of wildlife that live in the forest. Sincerely, Dr. Universe

Connect with Your WSUAA Palouse Chapter The Palouse Chapter of the WSU Alumni Association has a variety of events planned in the area this winter that you won’t want to miss!

Community Action Center Keeps Family Stable through Health Crisis A Conversation with Daniella Clark After my 11th surgery, I had a complication that was debilitating and I had to stop working. I couldn’t afford to stay in my condo or buy groceries and medicine. I ended up on Community Action Center’s doorstep hungry and close to homeless.

I think people have this idea of people in poverty, that their situation is a choice or happens because of bad decisions they’ve made. People can choose what home to buy, clothes to wear, and car to drive based on their income. However, we cannot choose a low cost diagnosis over a high cost diagnosis. I couldn't afford the medical diagnosis I was given and found myself in need of community services to afford to live during my surgeries. It can happen to anyone—no one is immune from the possibility of a health crisis.

Without the support from Community Action Center, I would just have been lost. Like many people who need services, my fight at that time was literally for my life and Community Action Center was there without judgement as I regained stability. There’s this idea that a disability is something you can see. I look normal; my disability is I did not start out at Community Action Center. I am a workaholic who went to school and got my Ph.D. as a single mom in my twenties. something you can’t see. When I was in line at Community Food, I met other people with invisible disabilities—only by talking to them did I was as self-sufficient as I could be for as long as I could be when I got my catastrophic diagnosis. I kept working as I went through my first ten you realize they were fighting major health battles. As our conditions surgeries and 80% of my income was going toward medical bills. I just have improved, we have kept in touch. Community Action Center helps did not want to accept any help. In fact, when my grandma mailed me a stabilize people in a variety of situations so they can stay housed and fed check because she knew I was in financial difficulty, I refused to cash it! and focus on regaining their health.

The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) works to improve the health of low-income elderly persons at least 60 years of age by supplementing their diets with nutritious USDA Foods. These food packages do not affect their SNAP or use of the food bank. Contact Community Action Center (CAC) at 509-334-9147 and ask for Cheryl if you need an application or have any questions.

Give us your thoughts and opinions— Let’s make our community an even better place to live!

Since May, the stakeholders who are supporting the survey, including Avista, Council on Aging and Human Services, Pullman Regional Hospital, Whitman Hospital and Medical Center, Whitman County Public Health, Palouse River Counseling, and Community Action Center have been working with Social & Economic Science Research Center (SESRC) to gather responses from a random sample of Whitman County residents from all over the county.

BOARD REPORT

Flossie Went Viral Allison Munch-Rotolo, Board president As I write this piece in late August, I am reflecting on the end of summer and the beginning of a new school year. “Viral sensation Flossie Lewis still a spectacular teacher at 94” came at just the right time for me. Your favorite search engine will lead you to her. She’s worth seeing. Flossie was originally profiled for the ongoing PBS News Hour series “Brief but Spectacular”. Flossie’s interest in going viral was perhaps a bit surprising for a nonagenarian, but these are the times we live in. We want everything at our fingertips and on demand. The PBS profile of Flossie in fact did go viral, and has been viewed over seven million times since its original airing in 2016. Now here’s where the story gets interesting: Flossie is a retired high school English teacher and many of her former students saw her viral video and contacted PBS to share the ways this Bay Area educator changed their lives. PBS then put together a reunion with Flossie and a roomful of students from her 40-year career. That moment was captured by PBS and is a charming and emotionally-affecting sequel. The idea that someone’s long life and career as an educator could be summarized in a viral video seems slightly ironic to me, perhaps almost oxymoronic. On the one hand we have something fluffy and temporal, an internet sensation, a viral video—and on the other

something enduring, a life’s work, a legacy. But the video surely would not exist without that legacy, and the legacy will linger longer because of being immortalized in the video. Perhaps they are actually better together. Ancient Etruscans expressed the passage of time with the word saeculum. A saeculum starts the moment something happens and continues for as long as those who personally experienced it remember. If Flossie isn’t with us too much longer, her impact on her students marks a saeculum. Those human lives she helped to shape will intersect with other lives and Flossie’s legacy will continue to spread. Flossie went viral long before the internet.

in Spokane Public Schools: Ms. Jean Tavener (elementary music specialist at Hamblen Elementary); Mr. Gordon Ogo (orchestra director at Sacajawea Junior High); and Joel E. Ferris High School faculty members Mr. Paul Brueggemeier (music), Mr. Gary Finer (language arts), Coach Wayne Gilman (physical education), and Herr Jack Raney (foreign language).

Here in Pullman Public Schools, we have many professional educators, support staff members, and dedicated volunteers, who have changed and are changing the direction of students’ lives. They are deserving of their own viral videos. In a school district, late August is a great time to think about the year ahead, and our goals for growth in all areas including student learning, professional development, quality of support services, etc. But late August is also a great time to reflect on the bigger picture. What do we want our own legacies to be? We’ve all had teachers who changed our lives. After watching Flossie, I want to give a fond salute to some of my memorable teachers

18 Pullman Community Update

PULLMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT

OCTOBER 2018

Attendance Matters Jim Bruce, Jefferson Elementary Principal Pullman School District students, parents and staff have settled back into the various routines associated with the return to school from summer break. The most impactful routine on a child’s education is regular school attendance. Across the country, more than 8 million students are missing so many days of school that they are academically at risk. Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 10 percent or more school days due to absence for any reason-excused, unexcused absences and suspensions. When a student misses out on instruction they are much more likely to fall behind. The research tells us that:

Highly Capable Program Referrals for Current Kindergartners and Some Transfer Students Will Be Accepted October 22-26, 2018 Referral forms for current kindergarten students to receive highly capable services during the current school year will be accepted October 22 – 26, 2018. Parents/guardians, teachers, students, and anyone else with direct knowledge of a student’s abilities may refer a student for highly capable services. Students who have transferred to the Pullman School District since March 1, 2018 from a district that does not offer highly capable testing and/or services are also eligible to be referred for highly capable services during this time. For more information on the referral process or to obtain a referral form, contact the school psychologist at the student’s school or the Instructional Programs Office at (509) 332-3144. Additional information, as well as the referral form, can also be found at http:// bit.ly/2htubQG.

• Chronic absenteeism in preschool, kindergarten and first grade is a predictor of a student being much less likely to read at grade level by 3rd grade. • Students who cannot read at grade level by the end of 3rd grade are four times more likely than proficient readers to not graduate. • By 6th grade, absenteeism is one of the three signs that a student may drop out of high school. • A student that is chronically absent in any two years between 8th and 12th grade has >50% chance of not finishing high school. • A few misperceptions about being absent or tardy from school: • “Absences are only a problem if they are unexcused.” Regardless if the absence is excused or unexcused it impacts a child’s education. • “It’s okay to miss a day here or there.” A child can be chronically absent even if they only miss a day or two every few weeks. • “Attendance only matters in the older grades.” Good attendance matters in ALL grades. Whether it’s kindergarten or 12th grade, too many absences can cause a child to fall behind in school. • “Being tardy doesn’t impact a child’s education.” Being consistently tardy may eventually lead to chronic absenteeism. Additionally, being tardy not only impact that child’s learning, but it also impacts the other students in the class when the teacher must stop instruction to assist the tardy student. Arriving on time every day makes children feel good about themselves. We realize that there are unavoidable circumstances (sickness and family emergency) occur that make coming to school impossible. We are often asked “When is sick too sick for school?” Send your child to school if: • They have a runny nose or just a little cough, but no other symptoms. • Haven’t had a fever for 24 hours. • Haven’t thrown up or had diarrhea. Keep your child home if: • They have a temperature higher than 100 degrees even after taking medicine. • Throwing up or have diarrhea. What can you do? Make school attendance a priority. • Talk with your child about the importance of showing up to school every day, make that the expectation. • Try not to schedule dental and medical appointments during the school day. • Don’t let your child stay home unless truly sick. • Avoid extended trips or vacations when school is in session. Consistent school attendance has a significant impact on a child’s academic success starting in kindergarten and continuing through high school. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school safely every day and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job. All Pullman School District schools are committed to providing the very best educational opportunities to all students. To make this possible our goal is getting ALL students “In School, ON TIME, Every Day.”

Little Shop of Florals The Little Shop of Florals in downtown Moscow is a long-time dream, made reality by the husband and wife team of Tony and Heather Niccoli. You may already know them as the publishers of Home&Harvest Magazine, the creators of the annual Huckleberry Battle at the Latah County Fair, the founders of the Moscow Winter Wonderland Tree, from their flower planters around downtown Moscow, or Heather’s local soul band. But the flower shop was a dream they had been wanting to create before any of that even started. After years of work, they now have their own little storefront in between Martin’s Square and Bucer’s Coffee House on 2nd Street in downtown Moscow. Little Shop of Florals specializes in original and creative flower designs, weddings, funerals, unique house plants, and they have their own line of chocolates and greeting cards designed by Heather. The couple looks forward to being your local florist through all of life’s needs—from baby showers, to graduations, weddings, anniversaries, and celebrations of life. They deliver to Pullman, Moscow, and Troy Monday through Friday, and they are available for other areas and on weekends for special events as well. Next time you are in downtown Moscow, drop by and visit the best florist on the Palouse at Little Shop of Florals. Tony and Heather are looking forward to blooming something special for you!

Outside of PHS, Max plays roller derby for the Wheat Whackers in Pullman and the Cherry Bomb Brawlers in Spokane. Roller derby has been a great sport and he has made a ton of great friends as he has skated all over Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Utah. His favorite thing about the Pullman schools has been the teachers he’s had along the way; Mrs. Mincks, Mrs. Stevens, Mr. Covill, Ms. DeMartin, and Mr. Winchell (just to name a few). Looking ahead, Max will be studying photography and cinematography after high school and he would like to be a photographer and/or a film maker.

Soukita (Kita) Keopanapay, daughter of Patrick and Sisouvanh Keopanapay, is currently a senior at Pullman High School. Kita is very much involved in school with various activities while maintaining a 3.99 GPA. She currently serves as the Senior Class President and is a member of the Varsity Cheer Squad. In addition, she is also a teen advocate with her involvement in Teen Council. Kita has a passion for social justice, race, and gender issues. She has lobbied in Olympia and met with lawmakers for causes related to women’s health and wellbeing. Her high school leadership position has led her to co-create the first Anti-Stress Week. For that week, she negotiated and arranged for a yoga instructor to come in and teach de-stress techniques to her peers. After high school, Kita plans to attend college and hopefully pursue a major that aligns with her interests and passions, and one that is employable!

ALUMNA SPOTLIGHT

Kristin Lincoln

In 2003, 3 years after graduating high school, and a year of Photography school, I found myself back in my home town of Pullman with no direction. I knew the only way I would have a successful future would be through education but had no clue what I would major in or what type of career would be the right fit for me. It was then that I had learned that Spokane Falls Community College had recently opened a branch in Pullman, and I quickly enrolled. During my time at SFCC, I was able to flourish academically in the small class room sizes and the non-traditional environment. Being surrounded by students (traditional and non-traditional) that had a true desire to better their lives through education inspired me to make the most out of every class and opportunity that SFCC offered to shape my future. The drive I developed working with such passionate teachers and students with a real desire for bettering themselves, carries with me to this day. I attended the Pullman SFCC branch in its very early days. I was honored to serve on the first student council, participate in the first clubs (including Drama and Literature) and was over joyed in 2005 to be a part of the first ever graduation ceremony. After I graduated with an AA degree at SFCC, I was accepted to WSU (I had been rejected by the University when I first applied after high school, but because of the incredible opportunities I had at SFCC, I had proven my ability to succeed academically and was quickly accepted). While at WSU, I discovered my passion for business and I earned my degree in Business Administration in Entrepreneurial Studies. Attending WSU was also a much easier experience coming in with my Associates Degree and having my core classes waived. This meant I was able to fully concentrate on my Major. Since college, I have worked in a number of fields doing mostly administrative work. However, the work ethic and drive that I established while at SFCC pushed me to pursue my passions, and I developed an expertise in non-profit performing arts management. Today I have achieved my goal and am now the new Executive Director of the Washington Idaho Symphony. A career that was only possible because of my decision to start my path at SFCC. I am always telling people to consider community college when looking at starting their academic journey. And in particular to look at the Pullman branch of SFCC. Not only is it the more affordable option, but the education you receive is just as, if not more, valuable then the classes you would take at a University. Getting my AA opened the door to achieve my dreams and I can’t thank the faculty and staff of SFCC enough for helping me open my door and find my direction. Today I am just as proud of that AA degree as I am my BA.

PULLMAN CAMPUS MANAGER’S MESSAGE

Dyan Bledsoe

SFCC Pullman staff and faculty believe in second chances. We know to err is human, and at times, some of our students have faced obstacles which have impeded there success, including making mistakes. We remain steadfast in assisting all students in reaching their goals. One partnership we have in this community shares our belief in second chances. KAPS (Kids And Parent Success) is a program offered through Whitman County Juvenile Services. KAPS offers a remediation program to juveniles in Whitman County who are on probation for low level transgressions. Various partners in the community sit on the planning board and then participate in a three-day (12-hour) presentation schedule which provides families and young teens with information regarding counseling, decision making, team building, family resources and college information. SFCC Pullman has been proud to partner with KAPS since 2013. One of the greatest aspects of the program is meeting our local partners who show local youth that this community cares about them and believes they can change and go on to accomplish their dreams. At the end of the three-day session, you can see the hope for the future on the faces of the young people and their families. None of us are perfect, and it helps to be surrounded by a community, and work for a college, which builds bridges to new opportunities.

WHITMAN COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY

24 Pullman Community Update

OCTOBER 2018

To Avoid CATastrophe, We are Expanding! When the Whitman County Humane Society (WCHS) broke ground in 2009 to build our community's no-kill animal shelter, two buildings were completed out of the four that were initially planned. This was what our nonprofit organization could afford at the time. While the dog building was built based on the original architectural plans, the cat building was a compromise, a "temporary" structure to make do with the funding that was available. While the structure was expertly built by KACI Construction, the 1,000 foot square building just isn't adequate to house the number of animals which need sheltering, and to provide space for volunteers and staff.

 STAR PET 

As a no-kill animal shelter, the WCHS never turns away an animal which cannot fend for itself. This means that kittens will never be turned away since they cannot survive without shelter. During the months of March - November, we run out of room to provide proper housing for these fur babies. During these months, shelter visitors often walk in to find stacks of cages housing kittens in the bathroom or in any other available corner. We can't Pro-Cat-stinate any longer! We need more space! So, over the past few months, we have worked with KACI Construction to determine what it would cost to expand the building to meet our needs and we plan to begin construction soon. Stay tuned for more information and updates. Thank you for your support!

CHEERS to all of the volunteers who helped staff the beer garden at the Lentil Festival! Heartfelt thanks go out to these friends of the WCHS who helped raise much needed funds for the homeless pets that we take care of every day: Cyndi Buss, Kyle Cance, Rebecca Liao-Cance, Kylene Daschofsky, Blythe Duell, Kris Frei, David Frye, Michaela Gospe, Colleen Harrington, Carlie Jackson, Mike Jackson, Cheryl Kammerzell, Anna Lloid, Miranda Ludwig, César Spencer Lugo, Jan Luft, Logan M, Denise Mahnkey, John-Mark Mahnkey, Pat Meier, Wendy Ortman, Jake Ortman, Linda Rogers, Sheltyn Rose, Barb Schmidtlein, Guy Schmidtlein, and Cyndi Vollmer. We'll see you next year!

Meet the two sisters, Tina and Louise! These two are very bonded and don't know what to do when separated. Louise can be quite shy, but Tina is ready to play. They are great on a leash, but they need more basic training to be the well-behaved girls they can be. They would fare best with older children (12+) and in a home with no small dogs or cats. Their combined adoption fees are $195. This includes their spay, microchip, and up-to-date vaccinations. Stop by on a Tuesday and take advantage of our Two-Fur Tuesday deal.

Meet the amiable Miss Amber! Are you looking for a love bug? If so, Amber is the cat for you! This beautiful girl arrived at the shelter as a stray mom. Now that her kittens have been adopted, Amber is ready to be welcomed into her very own fur-ever home! Think this sweet girl might be the one for you? Stop by and meet her today! Amber's adoption fee is $80 which includes her spay surgery, microchip, testing for FIV/FeLV, testing and treatment for internal parasites, and up-to-date vaccinations.

Northern Pacific Depot Gets New Name Following the purchase of the Northern Pacific Depot by the Whitman County Historical Society a group of local volunteers discussed many options for the future of the site. This steering committee selected the name Pullman Depot Heritage Center to represent the image they want to portray as they make plans to restore the building and grounds.

Once the workshops are completed and the committee has defined their goals for the depot, the next step will be to mount a large fund raising campaign. The group hopes to engage the entire community in contributing toward a restored and revitalized center in the heart of Pullman.

Co-chairpersons Hackbarth and Kathy Meyer are working The overwhelming desire expressed by all in attendance to remove three existing railroad cars, leaving the caboose and at meetings was for the depot to become focal point for the a passenger car for future restoration and inclusion in the total community. The group plans to restore the building—re-establishing plans. The locomotive will find a new home at the Inland NW Rail the original waiting rooms, tile walls, terrazzo floors and beautiful Museum in Reardon. The future of two passenger cars is still being oak woodwork, said Linda Hackbarth, co-chair of the fundraising determined. Once the cars leave, the entire front of the depot will be committee.
