Pullman Regional Hospital Proposed Maintenance & Operations Levy Fact Sheet On December 4, 2013, the Pullman Regional Hospital Board of Commissioners voted to approve placement of a Maintenance & Operations Levy on the February 2014 ballot to Pullman voters. The following is a fact sheet on the hospital’s proposed M&O levy. • Pullman Regional Hospital will ask citizens to approve a maintenance and operations levy in February that will increase the hospital’s revenue by about a half-million dollars a year. • The elected Board of Commissioners has been discussing the idea of a levy in committee meetings, planning sessions and regular and special board meetings since May 2012. • The funding will support other efforts to assure the hospital can remain attentive to its mission and continue to provide access to the highest quality medical care in the region. • As a public hospital district, Pullman Regional Hospital is authorized to propose a Maintenance & Operations levy as a source of financial support, although this is the first time in its 65 year history it will do so. • The Board of Commissioners is pursuing the levy because funding from the government and insurance companies is declining and patient revenues no longer keep pace with the cost of delivering medical care. • In the past several years, the hospital has been faced with increased mandates—many unfunded— that continue to draw resources away from providing care. Funding from the levy will be used to support ongoing costs and unfunded mandates, such as the ICD-10 federal billing code regulations, maintenance agreements on new medical technology and equipment, and continued expansion of our electronic medical records efforts. • The levy is another path to ensuring a healthy future for the citizens of Pullman and the region. It does not replace our fundraising plans; nor will it be a sole source of support to help us manage during this time of healthcare transformation. • We are looking at the levy as another opportunity to partner with the community in its support of creating a self-sustaining, self-directed medical system for the region. • Pullman Regional Hospital’s annual budget is $43 million. Pullman Regional Hospital has experienced a financial loss in six out of the past seven years.

• This levy would increase property taxes by .37 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. For a home with an assessed value of $300,000, this would be an increase in property taxes of $111 per year. • Election day is February 11th, and if the levy is approved it would take effect in 2015. • The Hospital District has supported the hospital through a building (UGTO) bond for the new facility in 2001. At that time, the support was at $1 per $1,000 assessed. Today that amount has dropped to .40 cents per $1,000. This reduction occurred as property values and new construction increased and through the hospital’s effort to refinance the bonds in 2011 at a more favorable rate. • The boundaries of the Pullman Regional Hospital district are the Pullman city limits. • The Board of Commissioners is required by law to decide to assess the levy each year as part of the budget process for the hospital.

Tips for exercising in cold weather By Carrie Coen, PT, DPT Summit Therapy & Health Services Director With the extreme bout of cold weather we have recently experienced on the Palouse, many of you have probably had to curtail your outdoor exercise routine. The following tips will help you maintain safety and help you keep up with your exercise routine, even in the inclement weather. WEAR LAYERS In cold weather you should wear layers of clothing using a polypropylene or wicking material closest to you skin, then a layer of fleece or wool for insulation and then finally a windproof/waterproof outer layer. Avoid using cotton layers which will absorb perspiration but not allow it to evaporate. Avoid dressing too warmly which will cause you to become overheated and perspire. This puts you at risk for chilling easily once you slow down or stop your workout. USE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING Use a scarf or a face mask to protect your lungs from the cold air. Breathing cold air can aggravate lung conditions such as asthma or even cause cold air exercise induced asthmatic symptoms. Protect exposed skin using a headband or hat and gloves. Up to 50% of your body heat can be lost through your head when the temperatures dip below freezing. When exercising in the dark, wear reflective clothing, and always use a helmet if you are skiing or snowboarding. If you are walking or running in our hilly Palouse country, try using a pair of shoes that are ½ to 1 size too large, and use a thicker thermal sock for warmth as well as some external traction for your shoes with some Yaktrax Cleat traction devices. Don’t forget

the sunscreen! Even in the cold weather, your skin is at risk of UV exposure. HYDRATE Don’t let the cold weather fool you into thinking you don’t need to drink as much water. You may not have the feeling you need to drink, but you can become quickly dehydrated while exercising in the cold air. Hydrate before, during, and after exercise to maintain a safe hydration level. BE AWARE OF DANGERS Know the signs of frostbite and hypothermia. If your skin begins feeling numb and you have a stinging sensation, this could be the beginning of frostbite. Protect your skin by covering up or going indoors. The wind chill factor can be potentially dangerous for exposed skin, and living on the Palouse, we know that the wind can really pick up. The signs of hypothermia include intense shivering, slurred speech and loss of coordination. If you have any of these symptoms, seek emergency attention immediately. SPECIAL CONDITIONS If you have heart disease, asthma, Raynaud’s Disease or suffer from diabetes or any condition that would cause decreased sensation in the hands or feet, take extra care when exercising outdoors in cold weather. Although it can be a challenge to navigate the ever changing weather on the Palouse, it is possible to continue to exercise and enjoy the outdoors with a little preparation and the right equipment. For more information please call Summit Therapy & Health Services at 332-5106, or stop by our office at 1620 SE Summit Ct in Pullman.

Alternatives To Violence of the Palouse

Pullman Community UPDATE 5

Stalking Awareness Month January is Stalking Awareness Month. Before we can help our fellow community members who are victims of stalking, we must understand what stalking is. Stalking is a series of actions that makes someone feel afraid or in danger. Stalking is serious, can be violent, and can escalate over time. Annually, stalkers victimize approximately 6.6 million people in the United States. Stalking affects people of all ages, however the highest rate of stalking victimization happens to people who are between the ages of 18-24. Stalkers are most often someone the victim knows with 66% of female victims and 41% of male victims stalked by a current or former intimate partner. While there might be some stalking behaviors that are more commonly used than others, each situation is unique. What might not seem significant to one person, might have great meaning to another. In addition, there is no set way to feel if you are being stalked. A stalking victim may feel a variety of emotions. They may be fearful, feel like they cannot trust anyone, struggle with depression or anxiety, or feel angry or frustrated. If you or anyone

you know is being stalked, or if you would like to find out more information about stalking, contact Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse at 509-332HELP or 1-877-334-2887. • Possible stalking behaviors: • Following or showing up to places unexpectedly • Sending unwanted gifts, cards, letters, emails, or text messages • Damaging property • Monitoring phone calls or computer use • Using technology to track a person’s location • Threatening to hurt you, family, or friends • Finding things out about you through public records, online search engines, or going through trash • Posting information about you on the internet, in a public space, or by word of mouth • Persistence

If you are a victim of stalking: • Call 911 if in immediate danger • Record all incidences of stalking; include date time, and description of what happened • Keep all evidence including: email, text messages, phone messages, letters • Take pictures of any evidence that you cannot keep • Do not minimize your feelings, if you feel afraid, trust your feelings and get help • Take threats seriously; danger is higher when the stalker talks about murder or suicide • Do not communicate with the stalker or respond to their attempts to contact you • Tell someone at your job or school who can help look out for your safety • Contact law enforcement to make a police report • Call ATVP; advocates can assist you in creating a safety plan and reporting to the police if you choose

“CREATE: Art by Artists Outside the Mainstream” opens January 23 at MOA

Diane Nash

Two nationally known civil rights speakers will visit the Palouse in January to deliver lectures as part of Washington State University’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration.

On Wednesday, January 22, Diane Nash, a civil rights activist from the 1960s, will speak. She will be followed by bestselling author and scholar Michael Eric Dyson, who will visit campus January 29. Each will deliver a keynote address at 7 p.m. on those dates in the Compton Union Building Senior Ballroom. The public is invited to the free lectures. Nash’s involvement in the civil rights movement began while she was a student at Fisk University, where in 1960 she became chairperson of the student sit-in movement in Nashville, Tenn., the first southern city to desegregate its lunch counters. Eventually she worked closely with King, who described Nash as the “driving spirit in the nonviolent assault on segregation at lunch counters.” Nash later became active in the peace movement that worked to end the Vietnam War and taught philosophy and the strategy of non-violence as developed by Mohandas Gandhi. Dyson, an American Book Award recipient and two-time NAACP Image Award winner, has been named one of the most powerful African Americans by Ebony magazine. He has published numerous works, covering topics such as Hurricane Katrina, Tupac Shakur, and Bill Cosby and the black poor. He has written two books about King: I May Not Get There with You: The True Martin Luther King, Jr. (2000), which made a significant contribution to King scholarship by recovering the radical legacy of the slain civil rights leader, and April 4, 1968: Martin Luther King Jr.’s Death and How It Changed America.

Pullman School District

January 2014

The End of One Chapter… the Beginning of the Next Jacqueline Southwick, Communications Intern Between the 1950’s and 2013, great strides have been taken in America’s technological, social, and educational arenas. The 50’s were an era mixed with renewal and reform in our country. Americans, released from the struggles of a nation at war, became consumers again. The economy boomed and so did the birth rates. Racial segregation was ruled unconstitutional, and Dr. Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine just two years prior to the first U.S. satellite orbiting the earth.

By the 100 year anniversary of Pullman School District in 1980, Pullman once again funded a new high school. PSD schools were re-organized several times over the 70’s and 80’s, as need warranted children being shifted to more At home in Pullman we shifted back to a healthier economy as well, and accommodating facilities.

Jefferson Elementary Initiates a School-Wide Self-Management Program Craig Nelson, Jefferson Principal This year, the students at Jefferson Elementary School have been talking about positive behaviors. The school has started a school–wide self-management program. This program encourages students to develop and use behaviors that not only enhance their learning in the classroom but will build a strong foundation for individual and career success. The self-manager program is providing Tier I supports for our positive interventions and supports (PBIS) program at the school. PBIS is a system of supports for behavior for the entire school.

No Increase Maintenance & Operations Levy Election (also featured in the December 2013 Community Update) Some of you may know that there will be a school election in February. The question you might be asking, why is Pullman Public Schools running an election this year? First, the construction bond voters approved last year was to finance the construction of the high school and elementary expansion. The money is for those two projects only and cannot be used for any other purpose. The Maintenance and Operations levy that represents about 22% of the district’s operating revenue expires at the end of 2014. It can only be renewed by a vote of the residence within the district. If the levy expires without renewal by voters, about 22% of the revenue for the district will not be collected. Since about 82% of our expenditures pay for employees, it is obvious that some of the existing programs would not be staffed and available for student learning and district operations. The Pullman School Board is asking voters to renew the current approved levy amount—no increase—keeping taxes at or below the current approved 2014 level through 2016. The school board and staff are grateful to the community for the incredible support you give to your schools. Paul Sturm

Children Need To Eat To Learn Denise Decicio, Nutrition Services Intern Growing up, most of us have heard our parents repeatedly remind us to eat our breakfast. However, breakfast is usually the last thing on most kids mind as they rush out the door each morning struggling to make it to school on time. Whether you sit for a full home cooked breakfast or quickly grab something from the school cafeteria on the way to class, breakfast is the most imperative of all morning activities. Pullman Public Schools is part of the nations nonprofit school breakfast program that provides a nutritious breakfast for all students. In Washington State, any student that qualifies for free or reduced meals receives a free breakfast. Breakfast is provided for public school students because of how important a morning meal is for a growing mind. Studies have consistently shown that skipping breakfast for children and adolescents affects memory and attention. Students that frequently skip breakfast tend to have lower math scores, while students that regularly eat breakfast score higher on reasoning tests. Basically, students of all ages need to eat to learn. Children cite several reasons for skipping breakfast, the two most important being that there is not enough time in the morning or because they are not hungry. Adolescent girls tend to skip the first meal of the day because of dieting. However, starting the day with a filling breakfast can help reduce over-eating on high calorie, convenience foods when hunger eventually strikes. When it comes to the issue of children not having enough time in the morning, the school cafeteria serves a large variety of breakfast items that can quickly be purchased and eaten by students on their way to class. Easy to-go items include fruit, muffins, bagels, yogurt, and granola bars. A hot breakfast is also prepared each morning for the students to enjoy ranging from French toast and pancakes to cheddar cheese omelets. Although the majority of teachers in the elementary and middle school do not allow students to eat in the classroom, most of the food provided does not take long to eat. In the high school, students are allowed to eat in class and a nutrition break is given mid-morning, allowing students to go to the cafeteria and purchase breakfast. Child nutrition services for Pullman Public Schools realize how significant breakfast is for the children of their community and how strongly it relates to the children’s performance in school. The employees do their very best to provide nutritious, freshly prepared breakfast every morning, and work hard to ensure the quality of the food served. The benefits children receive from eating a full breakfast each morning before beginning their lessons is invaluable.

Student Engagement, a Key to Success There are multiple studies which have shown, repeatedly, that students who engage in their campus communities are significantly more likely to succeed than those who do not. The Pullman campus provides a unique educational experience because we offer many opportunities for student engagement. Our small student to instructor ratio allows students to build relationships with their instructors. The Student Success Center provides a central location for students to study, work together as teams, and provides training and opportunities for peer tutoring and mentoring. We also host a variety of student clubs. Our student government is very active with campus and community interaction and has hosted a number of events, including an open house and a holiday party just this past fall. During Winter Quarter, the student government plans to host informational events about community safety and health, as well as sponsor a blood drive. Our film, photography and creative writing clubs each host weekly meetings and sponsor weekly contests based on differing themes. Such as, asking for creative writing submissions about holidays or family. The photography club has created brilliant art work based on themes of water, light, shadow, or landscape. Each club helps to create, edit, and provide materials for the SFCC annual magazine, the Bigfoot Review.

Last year, we sponsored our first annual Creative Arts showcase at Café Moro. The hugely successful event allowed students and faculty to interact with the community and showcase their amazing art projects. Please keep your eyes open for information about the creative arts showcase sometime in May! We plan to showcase literary and fine arts as well as student film shorts. New to campus this year is our Diversity club. Pullman SFCC Diversity CLUB is about different cultures, opinions, and ideas coming together as one and making a difference for the community. Their Mission is bringing everyone in our school, and town together; forming recreational activities, potlucks, discussing matters with one another, mentoring each other, and becoming a stronger community. The Diversity club hosted a successful, full campus potluck just before Thanksgiving. What better way is there to meet and learn from each other than by sharing good food? Keep your eyes peeled for information about community events sponsored by any number of our campus clubs! As the campus continues to grow and meet the needs to the surrounding communities our student engagement opportunities or only going to expand.

Just for Kids: Was There Once Life on Mars?

The Curiosity Rover has been exploring the surface of Mars lately. Since we as humans cannot yet travel to Mars ourselves, we send vehicles similar to robots to explore for us. The rover analyzes the chemicals in rocks and dirt on Mars and sends the information back to Earth. Scientists then try to figure out what it means. Recently, scientists discovered that there may have been freshwater lakes on Mars long ago, the perfect spot for life! What might have this life looked like?

Pullman Community UPDATE 19

Celebrating 25 Years of Community Action in Whitman County How do you thank long-time supporters, celebrate 25 years of service, remember the past, and share the vision for the next 25 years? On November 16, over 150 community leaders and partners, friends, current and former board members, volunteers and staff all gathered together to share and to celebrate. The celebration focused on how Community Action came to be, how our programs have evolved into what we now offer, and taking a look into the future. The event was part reunion, part socializing and connecting, but mostly just a positive celebration of community service work.

Special Thanks to Community Members!

“It was really a fun event—informative and relaxing—and I really learned a lot about how our agency came to be, thanks to Judy Allen,” remarked Jeff Guyett, current Executive Director. “As the founding Executive Director, we owe Judy a huge debt of gratitude for her dedication and entrepreneurial vision, as well as to the many board, staff and volunteers who stepped up to serve their communities in the first years of the agency.”

“First off, I know both of us probably didn’t realize the full extent of the services offered. I was impressed that after 25 years, CAC is not only still going, but going strong and moving forward,” said Sharon Hall. “It’s really incredible that so many of the origi-

Thank you to our sponsors, our board, staff and volunteers for a great event—and to all who attended! We look forward to seeing you at the annual CAC celebration dinner this fall, as we gather to build stronger communities in Whitman County!

25th Anniversary Sponsors

Thanks to the generosity of countless Whitman County businesses, groups and individuals, many families had happier holidays this year. With the cost of living growing higher and donations very low, we at CAC were quite concerned how to help with the extra holiday needs for our neighbors in need. However, our generous community brought in cash and food donations, supported the local food drives, and sponsored the Christmas baskets for families—we appreciate you opening your hearts to those with financial struggles. Sue Guyett, Edible Landscape, spreads the leaves gathered by the Boy Scouts on one of the Community Action Center plots at Koppel Farms.

When can clean-up work help to feed families? When Pullman’s Boy Scout Troop 444, led by Scoutmaster Dr. Jeff Joswig-Jones, bagged maple leaves from under the trees of neighbors and businesses around Pullman to cover the Community Food Bank garden beds. Earlier this fall, generous amounts of leaves were gathered into bags and delivered to our Edible Landscape Project office site, providing enough leaves to mulch each of our 3 garden locations: St. James Episcopal Church, Koppel Farms, and at Community Action Center on Fairmont. By helping us feed and protect the soil, these hardworking, generous Scouts also help to feed the hungry. By the contribution of these Scouts paying it forward in their community stewardship, we’ll see great harvests in our second year of food production, so Community Action Center extends a special thank you to Boy Scout Troop 444!

Like us on Facebook! You can find us at facebook.com/CommunityActionCtr to follow and Like our Facebook page! This is the best way to check on last-minute updates, office hours and activities and events. See you there!

We also appreciate all who participated in the Palouse Cares food drive and auction on December 7. The event was a huge success, and donations given to CAC will be utilized in our Community Food Bank to purchase needed items. Thanks to Ron Morgan, Moscow Pullman Building Supply, Center for Civic Engagement, Zeppoz and the many local and regional businesses for organizing and volunteering to support the Palouse Cares food drive. And “thank you” to each club, church and family for remembering to share.

Palouse Free Clinic to Open Soon! As the ever-changing environment of health care continues to be played out, we are happy to announce we are working with a dedicated group of volunteer medical personnel to open the Palouse Free Clinic in 2014. Thanks to the work of a small group of volunteer medical students led by Dr. Stephen Hall and Namita Crow, as well as Pullman Regional Hospital CEO Scott Adams, the volunteer clinic is planning to open a weekly after-hours clinic in the Pullman Regional Hospital building to provide no-cost acute care to the underserved populations of the area. We will provide more details as plans become solidified, so watch your newspapers, mailboxes and our Community Action Center Facebook page for more!

Adopt a Fire Hydrant Banks and drifts of snow can provide fun for kids looking for something to do during the winter, but these banks and drifts can also cause problems in addition to clearing the city streets of snow. What can get lost in the snowbanks—literally—are fire hydrants, which may go unnoticed until they are needed. In an effort to make sure the hydrants are accessible for emergencies the Pullman Fire Department is once again asking residents of the city to adopt a fire hydrant.

Pets & Winter Weather It’s that time of year when the temperature has dropped and we’re wearing winter coats and gloves to protect ourselves against the wet and cold. But what about our four-legged friends? Winter weather can affect them the same way it does us. The fact that dogs have fur coats doesn’t make them immune to hypothermia and frostbite. Frostbite can occur on your dog’s ears, tail and feet because they are the areas most exposed to the elements with the least amount of protection. Dogs should not be left outside for long periods of time without access to warm, dry, draftfree shelter. Make sure your dog is thoroughly dry after being outside in the rain or snow.

sidewalks can also be harmful, especially if your dog happens to ingest it. Buy pet-safe products when possible and be sure to wash your dog’s feet with warm water after a walk. You can also purchase doggy boots that work well to protect your dog’s feet against winter walking hazards.

It’s also important to take care of your dog’s paws. Dogs with long hair on their feet can have a painful snow and ice build-up between their paw pads. Trimming the fur can minimize this and help to dry the feet faster. The salt and deicer products used on

Dogs can’t tell us if they are hot or cold or whether they are sick or injured. It’s up to their caretakers to make sure these things don’t happen. Just following these few simple tips can keep your dog safe, healthy, and happy this winter season.

Dogs with short or coarse hair can become extra cold, so consider a sweater or coat to help keep them warm. Even though these can be a good way to keep your dog warm, you should never leave a dog wearing a sweater or coat outside for long periods of time. If either gets wet, the dog can become hypothermic. Dogs may also try to take their sweater off by themselves and become tangled.

Pullman Community UPDATE 21

City requests suggestions for 2014 goals As the city of Pullman begins another year, it is time for citizens and organizations to submit their ideas and goals for the city council’s consideration in 2014. Suggestions should be received by the Mayor’s office no later than Friday, Jan. 31. If you would like to submit your goal suggestions by mail, please address them to Mayor Glenn Johnson, City of Pullman, 325 SE Paradise Street, Pullman, WA 99163. If you would prefer to use email, please address your messages to admin@pullman-wa.gov with City Council Goals as the subject line, or fax them to 334-2751. Johnson said that if an organization or individual made suggestions in the past that did not make it to the final list, feel free to offer those suggestions again. He said all suggestions are appreciated. After receiving goal suggestions from citizens, organizations, department heads, and city employees, the city council and the mayor hold a retreat to go over those goals. The council then meets with department heads to go through a tentative list for the year. The final refined list of goals is then brought back before the city council for formal adoption. The final list of goals will be published in the Pullman Community Update. Numerous citizen-generated goals have been incorporated into the list adopted by the council.

Get the door… its Domino’s!!!

In 1960, Tom Monaghan and his brother James purchased DomiNick’s, a small pizza store in Michigan. The deal was secured by a $75 down payment and another borrowed $900. Eight months later, James traded his half of the business to Tom for a used Volkswagen Beetle. In 1965, the business was renamed Domino’s Pizza, Inc. In 1967, the first franchise was opened. The three dots on the Domino were to stand for each franchise. That idea faded quickly when the franchises grew to over 200 stores in less than ten years. Domino’s is now worldwide. Quality, real cheese, fresh meat and vegetables and a caring staff are the hallmark of the Pullman’s Domino’s. We offer fresh pizza, pasta, sandwiches, bread and desserts. In 2012, Domino’s Pizza changed their name dropping the word “Pizza” in it to incorporate all that we now offer.

Brelsford WSU Visitor Center Opens

On Oct. 12, 2013, the Brelsford WSU Visitor Center opened its doors at 150 E Spring Street in Pullman. The center is a place to interact with exhibits that illustrate the university’s unique history and the many contributions Washington State University faculty, students, and alumni have made to the state of Washington, the United States, and the world. Official planning for the new Visitor Center began in February of 2013 when the team of Sellen Construction and Olson Kundig Architects was selected to design and build the new facility. Construction of the Brelsford WSU Visitor Center began May 3, 2013 with a ground breaking ceremony conducted by WSU Board of Regents Chair, Scott E. Carson. In only five short months, the Visitor Center was built and opened for business. The official building opening and dedication ceremony took place during WSU’s Dad’s Weekend on Oct. 12, 2013. The three 15-foot-high concrete letters spelling out W-S-U are the most distinctive feature of the 4,224-squarefoot facility. The top of the letter “U” supports the overhanging roof on the west end of the building and the 40-foot-high lighted outdoor tower on the east end stands as a tribute to historic Bryan Tower. The building itself is also a showcase of WSU’s research strengths. All wood-based materials used in the construction of the Visitor Center were developed using technology created by the WSU Composite Materials and Engineering Center, a recognized leader in the development of sustainable composite materials. The Visitor Center is also seeking Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification for the environmentally sustainable construction techniques employed in the building of the facility. No state funding was used in the construction of the new facility. A significant gift from the Brelsford family, long time local residents of Pullman, along with funds from the sale of the university’s old Visitor Center and from real estate funds held by the university were used to build the $2.5 million facility. The Visitor Center sits near the junction of the WSU campus and downtown Pullman at the corner of Main and Spring streets. The location was chosen to recognize the historical significance, and celebrate the vitality of, the town-gown relationship that has existed between the City of Pullman and WSU for more than 123 years.

THANK YOU JOAN! The community of Pullman and the Pullman Chamber of Commerce wish to thank Joan Swensen for the many wonderful years of "Swilly's". Look for their new location in the BellTower in early March. Follow them on facebook and their website, www.swillys.com. Swillys sidewalk dining
