The Food & Shelter Folks Meet the Board: Anneliese Zook

really cool things and thought it was more of a handson board. I’m not disappointed, but it’s an oversight board and I wasn’t expecting that.

Seed to Table: A Gardening Class Series

Who has made a big impact on your life?

I had a manager at Men’s Warehouse in Tacoma, WA that I think probably as a female made the biggest impact on my life. She was so in control of her situation in a man’s world. I really appreciated being around her and gleaning from her.

Classes are offered independent of each other so sign up for just one, or as many as you like. This is a FREE series with all materials provided.

• March 20, 5:30-7:00 pm: Indoor Seed Starting • April 3, 5:30-7:00 pm: Direct Planting a Vegetable Garden • May 8, 5:30-7:00 pm: Irrigation Essentials Classes are designed for adults or children aged 14+ with adult supervision. For more information, class descriptions, or to register, please visit www.cacwhitman. org/community-garden-2/

What do you do in your free time?

What is your day job?

I am a postal clerk in Garfield.

Why do you choose to serve on Community Action Center’s board?

I was asked to serve as a low-income representative. I thought I would have more hands-on interaction with the food bank and the growing project; I had heard

Community Food We are taking food donations by appointment! Please call the front desk (509-334-9147) to make an appointment to donate food.

I sing in the Palouse Choral Society and am president of the Board at Palouse Choral Society. I’m the co-chair of the Distinguished Young Women. My friend and I run the program at Garfield-Palouse. I make jewelry; I like to be creative with my brain and my hands.

What else should we know about you?

PULLMAN SCHOOL DISTRICT

APRIL 2024

Pullman School District Building and Grounds Maintenance Joe Thornton, Executive Director of Operations

The Pullman School District Maintenance Department is the group that does all the building maintenance and grounds work for the school district. This department is responsible for maintaining approximately 650,00 sq. ft. of building space (spread out over 10 sites) and approximately 60 acres of outdoor grounds. The team is responsible for all building maintenance needs from plumbing to HVAC, electrical, painting and all general building repair needs. The grounds responsibilities include parking lot snow removal, athletic field prep, landscaping and turf management. Additionally, this team is responsible for getting supplies delivered to the school for the Nutrition Services Department that feeds students breakfast and lunch. For the most part, the work the team does is accomplished in-house, but a few situations where building codes or specialized equipment requires an outside contractor be hired to do the work. Some examples of this are some electrical work, fire sprinkler systems, elevator repairs and some specialized HVAC repair. A separate team of employees are the building custodians that are responsible for the daily cleaning of all the schools, sidewalk snow removal and the huge task of summer deep cleaning of schools and floor refinishing.

Athletic Field Prep and Turf Management: Athletic fields need to be prepped at PHS and LMS for athletic contests such as football, soccer, baseball and softball. In addition, facilities for tennis and track and field are maintained. Depending on the season and weather conditions, the time and effort needed to prepare a field for an athletic event can be substantial. Especially for spring sports such as baseball and softball, the time necessary for field prep is challenging. Spring on the Palouse can bring problems. It is not uncommon for a playfield to be mud one week and then hard as a rock the next--and then maybe even snow falls in April as we are trying to host a game. Maintaining turf areas, both athletic fields and playground is very time consuming. Recent water restriction prevents the district from irrigating fields in the summer as much as we used to be able to irrigate. This is a good thing, from both a cost saving perspective and from a conserving the aquafer perspective. As a result, in July, August and September some fields may give the appearance that the grass is “dead.” The turf is not dead, but just dormant and will begin to grow again as soon as fall moisture arrives. However, it is necessary for player safety to begin to irrigate football and soccer fields in August to prepare a softer playing surface for those sports.

The only real downside to the lack of summer irrigation is the appearance of the fields, but this regime also increases invasive weeds that will take advantage of the dry turf. Another particular challenge for the maintenance and grounds crew is staying on top of weeding invasive plants that get established in landscape beds. The school district is very restricted as to what, when and where weed control chemicals can be applied on school district property. As a result, the use of herbicides is pretty limited. Weeds in landscaping beds can become a problem and need to be mechanically (hand) weeded. Rarely does staff have the time to stay on top of all the weeding that needs to get done and sometimes this gets bumped to the summer when some extra summer help is hired. These summer crews will often spend the first couple of weeks on the job pulling weeds.

Summer Maintenance Projects: Every spring, building principals compile a list of summer projects that they would like to have done in the schools. These are projects that, because of the complexity of the project, cannot get done while school is in session. It may be some remodeling that needs to be done in a classroom or office, repair/rebuilding of a play structure or extensive repair to HVAC components.

These projects are the focus of the summer for the maintenance crew, along with the continual work that needs to be done with landscaping and turf. Summer is also the time of year that each individual building custodial crew can get into classrooms and deep clean carpet, clean furniture, refinish hallway floors and refinish hardwood gym floors. The 10 weeks of summer is a critical period for the maintenance and custodial crews to accomplish the jobs that cannot get done while school is in session.

Summer Life and Safety Inspections: Each summer, life and safety systems are tested by a contractor, as required by law, to make certain these systems are in good operating condition and will operate properly when needed. These systems include fire alarm systems, smoke detectors and fire suppression systems (fire sprinklers).

The Pullman community has been extremely supportive of the funding needed to build quality spaces for teaching and learning. We are lucky that the average age of our schools is relatively young compared to many other districts. Even with that fact, we still have some aging spaces in the district. The old part of Pioneer Center was built in the 1930s. The original section of Sunnyside School was built in the 1960s.

Jefferson and Franklin Schools are approaching 30 years old. The Pullman School District continues to make maintaining quality schools a priority by providing the staff and funding necessary for building upkeep. Both the maintenance and the custodial crews do a wonderful job of maintaining and cleaning the quality school buildings in the Pullman School District.

The Behavior Battle: Solutions in Schools Evan Hecker, Kamiak Elementary Principal

Effective behavior management is essential for creating a positive learning environment that promotes the academic and social-emotional growth of students. By employing a combination of solutions, schools can address behavior issues more effectively and support the success of all students. Behavior issues in the classroom can have a detrimental effect on the learning environment. It is crucial to address these issues effectively to create a conducive learning community for all students.

To effectively manage behavior in schools, it is essential to use clear and consistent strategies throughout the day. The National Association of School Psychologists emphasizes the need for ongoing evaluation and revision of these strategies. Effective behavior management involves communication and collaboration between teachers, counselors, and other support staff to ensure a coordinated approach.

Our district schools all track and share various aspects of student behavior, academics, and personal development using tracking tools. This allows collaborative teams to progress monitor student behavior through various tiers of responses for different problem areas. Collecting valuable data and insights helps to inform our behavior management strategies.

Rather than attempting to address behavior issues for all students simultaneously, we find it beneficial to identify a small percentage of students as a focus group. By concentrating efforts on a select group, our educators can provide targeted support and interventions more effectively. For example, at Kamiak Elementary, we have implemented a Safe Recess Academy to improve our student behavior on the playground. We found that our discipline referral data shows that some of our students have the most room to grow when it comes to physical contact on the playground. The program's goals are to help students form new habits, learn interpersonal skills, practice problem-solving, role-play interactions, and teach them how to play fair.

Understanding the underlying reasons for student behavior is crucial in addressing behavior issues. Instead of solely focusing on the behavior itself, we engage in logical and unemotional discussions to identify the root causes. By determining the function of behavior, we can design appropriate interventions.

While there are numerous resources available for behavioral intervention, we find it important to keep the list of strategies manageable and accessible. We identify a reasonable number of effective strategies and ensure they are readily available when needed. Streamlining strategies can enhance consistency in their implementation.

Behavior management in schools requires a multi-faceted approach. It is important to implement practices such as focusing on a select group of students, identifying the function of behavior, streamlining strategies, and conducting efficient meetings. By combining these approaches, our educators can create an environment conducive to positive behavior and enhanced learning outcomes.

CENTRE FOR THE ARTS AT GLADISH

Pullman Community Update 15

Centre for the Arts at Gladish Spotlight: Studio Theatre For this month’s spotlight, we’re heading downstairs to the Studio Theatre, formerly known as the Little Theatre. Accessible from the main lobby as well as an outside door and the elevator, this space is located in what was once the Pullman High School choir room.

For years the room hosted theatrical performances and served as a rehearsal space for the groups putting on those performances as well as several local music groups, including the Community Band of the Palouse. With the renovation into the Studio Theatre, we hope to breathe new life into the space as it becomes the home of the newly formed Gladish Players.

The renovation will include the creation of a new box office and entrance, a tech booth, egress doors, and a reconfiguration of the surrounding rooms to create a connected green room. A new lighting grid will be installed to allow for dynamic lighting of theatrical performances.

Anyone who has performed or attended a performance in the old Little Theatre will remember that the only entrances into the room took you through the playing space. The new entrance will be at the back of the audience area, meaning that patrons can now enter and exit without risk of disturbing the performance.

Is this your first time hearing about the Centre for the Arts at Gladish project? Have you heard of it before but aren’t quite sure what we’re all about? Are you on board and looking for updates? You’ve come to the right place! To start off, what is the Centre for the Arts at Gladish?

Centre For The Arts Fundraising

The Gladish is building a home for the arts right here on the Palouse! This new Centre, located in the 1954 wing of the Gladish Center, will feature a state of the art Main Stage auditorium, built to be a home for all of our performing arts groups including the Washington Idaho Symphony and the Palouse Choral Society. The new facility will include new seating, updated interiors, new HVAC systems, new lighting and sound systems, new entrance from the parking lot, a patron lobby with a grand staircase, and a VIP lounge that will double as an art gallery. Downstairs will house the renovated Little Theatre, renamed the Studio Theatre, for intimate theatrical experiences in a “black box” setting. The Studio Theatre wing will also include updated technical systems, green room, dressing rooms, and will be the home of the Gladish Players.

Mission Statement

The Centre for the Arts at Gladish’s mission is to enhance the vibrancy and quality of life on the Palouse and in the Inland Northwest through the production of live performances and in its support of arts organizations.

Vision Statement

The Centre for the Arts at Gladish seeks to enhance economic vitality and quality of life on the Palouse and in the Inland Northwest through its production and hosting of live performances and community events, support of the arts community and the organizations that operate in the arts industry, and reasonably affordable venue space rentals available for the community at large.

Although they are known for their politically charged artwork in postwar Los Angeles, the couple spent a significant portion of their lives in Hope, Idaho, and their works show how artists can thrive and push boundaries outside of urban centers.

The museum, located in the Crimson Cube, is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. It’s closed for WSU breaks and holidays. Admission is free. For more info, call (509) 335-1910.

WASHINGTON IDAHO SYMPHONY

APRIL 2024

What a season! We at the Washington Idaho Symphony have just been overjoyed at the attendance we’ve seen at this season’s concerts. New and classic works alike, you’ve been with us every step of the way and we are so thankful to have a community that supports the arts. However, it’s not over yet! We have two more concerts to look forward to before the season is finished!

April 7 brings this season’s final installment in the Silverthorne Chamber Concert Series, Musical Potpourri. Much like the fragrant bouquet the concert is named for, you can expect an enjoyable array of complementary pieces. Say “Hello!” to spring with the sweet sounds of the Washington Idaho Symphony!

We will be wrapping things up with the concert that embodies the theme of the season: Community! Join us as we showcase the incredible talent and skill in our community with several classic compositions. Starting off with the famous Intermedio from “La Boda de Luis Alonso”

by Geronimo Gimeniz, followed

by Old American Songs by American composer, Aaron Copland, continuing with Alexander Arutiunian’s Trumpet Concerto, and concluding with Ballet Music from “Le Cid” by Jules Massenet, you won’t want to miss the send off of season 52!

Once again, we thank you, our patrons and our community for your support this season. We couldn’t do this without you.

The mission of the Washington Idaho Symphony is to bring live, orchestral, music to all ages in the rural Whitman and Asotin counties of Washington and the Latah and Nez Perce counties of Idaho, while providing an outstanding opportunity for the region’s most accomplished musicians to participate in challenging repertoire and performance.. We take tremendous pride in fulfilling that mission and continuing to bring music to our community.

Yet, in the spring months we face a great hardship that requires your generous support. Between February and April donations come to a halt, and like all arts organizations we cannot survive on ticket sales alone. From venue rentals to musician fees and promotional expenses, each performance demands meticulous planning and financial investment. However, despite the invaluable cultural enrichment and joy these concerts bring to our lives, the revenue generated often falls short of covering these expenses. Peter and the Wolf, a sold out concert, brought in approximately $5,000 while costing $15,000 to put on.

This is where your support becomes indispensable. Your donations play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the cost of concerts and the revenue they generate. By contributing to the Washington Idaho Symphony, you not only sustain our beloved cultural institution but also ensure that the magic of music continues to resonate within our community.

Moreover, let us not overlook the profound impact of the arts on our society.

Beyond the notes and melodies, the Washington Idaho Symphony serves as a cornerstone of cultural enrichment, education, and community engagement. It fosters creativity, inspires imagination, and cultivates a sense of unity among individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Now, more than ever, as we navigate through challenging times, the arts serve as a beacon of hope and resilience. Your support not only sustains our Symphony but also reaffirms our commitment to nurturing a vibrant cultural landscape for generations to come. I urge you to join us in our mission to keep the music playing. We have a goal to raise $50,000 by the end of April. The thermometer to the right illustrates our progress. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and ensure that the Washington Idaho Symphony continues to enchant and inspire our community. To make a donation, visit waidsympnony.org or scan the code.

Thank you, Avista!

We are set to undergo a significant energy efficiency upgrade, thanks to a generous grant from Avista. This initiative marks a monumental step towards modernizing the facility while preserving its rich heritage and supporting our diverse array of tenants.

Originally built in 1931 and remodeled in 1954, our facility has not only been a home for local artists and events but has undergone numerous upgrades and renovations to enhance our offerings and reach. However, the building's outdated and inefficient boiler system, a remnant from the 1954 remodel, has posed significant financial and operational challenges, consuming substantial resources that could otherwise support our mission.

The transition to modern heating systems, funded by Avista's grant, represents a pivotal moment in our history. These upgrades will drastically reduce the building's energy consumption and operating costs, freeing up critical resources to further enrich and expand our cultural and educational programs. Avista's investment in this project underscores a shared commitment to sustainability, energy efficiency, and community support, aligning with the utility's broader goals of enhancing community well-being and environmental stewardship.
