Museum closed through mid-August

The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is closed for summer.

The closure runs from June 30 to Aug. 19. The museum reopens Aug. 20 for fall semester with two new exhibits — and a party celebrating the museum’s 50th anniversary.

“The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation” runs through March 8, 2025. The exhibit explores the multifaceted role food plays in people’s lives and features more than 100 works from Schnitzer collections. Artists use various media to delve into food’s significance beyond nourishment, touching on themes such as culture, ethics and community.

“Your Collection: Celebrating 50 Years” runs through Dec. 13 and showcases more than 4,000 works from the 19 century to the present. The exhibit highlights donations and acquisitions made for public benefit, tracing the collection’s evolution and emphasizing works created since 1890, the year Washington State University was established.

Summer Fun!

Arron Carter, Board Director District 1

We are just weeks away from the end of the school year as I sit here writing this Community Update. The end of the school year always seems to be busier than other times of the school year. While I know there are plenty of activities throughout the year, maybe it is just the anticipation of each event being the ‘last’ of the year. Even though there are many orchestra, band, and drama club productions throughout the year, the last ones are always special, signifying the end of a spectacular year and looking forward to the upcoming one. Although sports teams practice and perform throughout the year, the last of the spring sports again signifies the end of the yearlong work by all athletes and is a celebration of their accomplishments. So, while maybe my calendar does not have more nights occupied by events, the feeling sure is there.

Consequently, maybe this busy feeling comes from the atmosphere surrounding the schools and their events. Students are eagerly awaiting the end of the year and for summer to begin. There is more of a chatter about them, as they know in only a few short weeks summer break will begin. The senior class is excitedly planning their future endeavors and there is a feeling of terminality as one adventure comes to an end and another adventure awaits them shortly. Teachers seem to be just as restless as the students, waiting for the day they can close their classroom doors on another successful year, take a break for a few months, and then start thinking about the new incoming class. Seeing the excitement of these students and teachers makes me reflect on my own high school career, the fun times had, the excellent teachers and mentors, and what it was like to feel the sense of accomplishment on graduation day.

While the school district and all the buildings seem to slow down a little over the summer, the school board stays in action working hard for the success of each student. The most engaging activity of the summer months is the annual school board retreat. Held each

Pullman Education Foundation (PEF) 2024 SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS

year in July, the day long retreat is a time for the school board to come together and discuss the status of the school district. This retreat gives us time to go into detail about the progress of the district, identify areas of success and opportunities, and plan for the upcoming school year to continue with the successes and adjust to make improvements.

One of the parts I find most valuable is being able to look at the data from each school. Data is separated by both assessment scores as well as growth in each category. It is further broken down by grade level and other various demographics. During the course of the retreat, each school board director is able to review the data and make notes about what they are seeing in the data. After time to reflect on the data, the group gathers again and each director is able to discuss what trends they saw in the data, and then a discussion is held. We then get the opportunity to see how the data trends align with our district goals. This process ensures that the decisions made are data driven. Progress can then be tracked over time, and improvements made in assessments and growth can be recognized. The end goal of reviewing the data summaries is to allow all students to find success during their time in the district.

While many community members in Pullman will be looking forward to the long days and warm weather of July, I will be looking forward to the annual school board retreat. Here I can once again review the progress of the district with my fellow board members by means of data summaries, and through identifying areas of success and opportunities, continue to support the students and families of the Pullman School District.

The Food & Shelter Folks

Feed Local, Feed Fresh When YOU Give Local!

Things are difficult for many families in our community, where the minimum cost of living for a family of four is $59,088. At minimum wage, it takes 1.7 FT jobs to earn this—a challenge, for sure.

More than half of Whitman County households live below that cost of living and face tough choices between paying for rent, heat, medications, or food.

Community Action Center’s (CAC) Community Food program makes whole and fresh ingredients available to our customers—at no cost to the household!

The Community Food response is varied, including…

• The Community Food Bank

• Cooking and nutrition education

• Community gardens & garden education

• The Mobile Farmstand

• Farm to Food Bank from our gardens & local farmers

• Food repackaging—reducing food waste to feed more people

All this work takes funding—and a community effort! Private grants and donations are necessary to cover around 40% of program costs. We need YOUR help, too.

Without your help, many community-designed ways of feeding folks may cease to exist— or CAC may be forced to make tough staffing decisions and scale down to the basics, which would likely result in not enough food for many of our community members.

Help support the Feed Local Feed Fresh, Give Local fundraising campaign by…

• Make a one-time donation with impact

• Commit to recurring donations on a monthly or quarterly basis

• Volunteer at the Food Bank or in the Gardens

• Remember CAC Community Food in your will

Protect Yourself & Your Family From Poor Air Quality & Wildfire Smoke This Summer

Ensure cleaner indoor air:

Close windows and doors.

Avoid activities that contribute to indoor air pollution, such as smoking or burning candles.

Utilize air purifiers to filter indoor air. Consider using HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters in portable air cleaners or HVAC systems.

Optimize air conditioning settings to recirculate indoor air and prevent the intake of polluted outdoor air.

Seek cleaner air elsewhere if necessary:

If it is challenging to maintain clean air at home, consider going to a friend's place, a public space with better ventilation, or an area unaffected by pollution.

Limit the duration and intensity of outdoor physical activity

When going outside, wear proper respiratory protection:

Wear a well-fitted, NIOSH-approved particulate respirator, such as an N95 mask, when spending time outdoors during periods of poor air quality. Ensure that the mask covers the nose and mouth adequately.

If you’ve ever been prescribed a medication and found out a generic alternative was available, you probably had some questions. Andrea Howell, Pharmacist and Director of Pharmacy at Pullman Regional Hospital, explains the difference between name-brand medications and generic medications, what you should be aware of when taking them, and how to ensure your medications are safe.

Why are brand-name drugs more expensive than generic medications?

Brand-name drugs are patented by the drug company that developed the drug. A new drug takes a lot of time and money to research and develop. It can take several years to get a drug to market, including clinical trials, prior to FDA approval- meaning large expenses for the drug company. To cover these enormous expenses, drug companies often charge a premium for the end product.

Do generic drugs have the same ingredients as brand names?

Generic drugs have the exact same active ingredient as the brand-name drug. What is different are the inactive ingredients like binding agents (what holds the tablet together), ingredients that make the tablet a reasonable size to take, ingredients that help the tablet dissolve in your stomach, and sometimes color. In general, the side effects would be the same as the brand-name drug. Sometimes, due to the inactive ingredients people absorb the tablets differently or have reactions to inactive ingredients. “If you are lactose intolerant for example, lactose can be used to make the tablet a reasonable size to take, and you might find you don’t tolerate the generic with lactose as an inactive ingredient,” says Howell. Someone may be allergic to something used in the brand-name medication, but be able to tolerate the generic one more easily (or vice versa).

It’s important that before you start taking a new medicationname brand or generic- you read about any possible side effects to watch out for. Side effects differ from medication to medication and can range from mild (dry mouth, drowsiness, rash, etc.) to life-threatening (anaphylaxis, blood clots, kidney failures, etc.).

Are generic drugs lower quality than brand name?

Generic drugs are not the same as generic brands at the supermarket. While your store-brand snacks and products

may be of lesser quality or not directly comparable to the name brand alternative, medications are different. “Generic drugs still undergo rigorous testing to ensure they are bioequivalent to the brand drug,” assures Howell. So, in short, no generic drugs do not mean lesser quality.

Is it dangerous to switch back and forth between generics and brand name medication?

No, but Howell explains that, “the exception would be for drugs with a narrow therapeutic range (the range of medication in your system that is high enough to treat the condition and not above a level that has increased side effects or problems).”

If you are taking a drug that requires drug levels to ensure your condition is treated appropriately, it is best to consistently take the same drug—whether it be name brand or generic; these include seizure medications, thyroid medications, and some anticoagulants like warfarin. If you need to switch for availability problems, or insurance coverage, you may need to check levels more frequently and adjust your dose as your doctor prescribes in order to maintain the drug level you need.

As a consumer, what’s important to consider when filling a prescription or purchasing over-the-counter medications in regards to brand name versus generic?

Generic drugs can treat your medical conditions effectively and often less expensively. “In general, if a generic is available, start there,” suggests Howell. It’s important to look at the list of inactive ingredients if you have allergies or intolerances, as these can differ from generic to generic. Some commonly used inactive ingredients include aspartame, lactose, soya lecithin, sulfites, and benzoates. Always check the ingredient list before starting a new medication.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions. Your pharmacist can also help navigate inactive ingredient issues with prescription medications.

Howell wants people to remember that medications, name brand and generic, are tools to help improve your health and wellbeing. All tools need to be used appropriately in order to gain maximum benefit. If you have questions regarding your medications, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

As spring blossoms and pollen fills the air, many families find themselves in the pharmacy aisle, overwhelmed by the myriad of allergy medications. Choosing the right medication can be confusing, but understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision. Dr. Katie Hryniewicz, Pediatrician at Palouse Pediatrics provides her expertise to help you navigate the options and ensure you’re picking the best treatment for your child’s symptoms.

Antihistamines

First-Generation Antihistamines: Why Benadryl Isn’t the Best Choice

“One of the widely known antihistamines, a firstgeneration, is Benadryl (diphenhydramine),” says Dr. Katie. “Even though parents might reach for this for allergies, hives or itching, it’s definitely not my recommendation.” Here are a few reasons why:

• Non-Specific Targeting: Benadryl has poor specificity for its intended targets, which means it can affect various unintended body systems, including the heart and brain.

• Significant Sedation: Benadryl crosses the blood-brain barrier, which can lead to increased drowsiness. This can result in a “hangover effect” the next day, impairing vigilance, cognition, memory, and motor function, potentially impacting school performance.

• Short Duration: Benadryl doesn’t stay in your system for very long, requiring frequent re-dosing (every 8 hours) and increasing the likelihood of side effects.

• Modern Alternatives: Newer antihistamines start working just as quickly and provide 12 or even sometimes 24-hour relief.

Better Alternatives: Second and Third-Generation Antihistamines

Fortunately, “we have newer, second and third-generation antihistamines that can be found over-the-counter,” Dr. Katie says. “These medicines are safer, more effective, and cause less sedation.” These options include:

• Loratadine (Claritin)

• Cetirizine (Zyrtec)

• Fexofenadine (Allegra)

• Levocetirizine (Xyzal)

These medications offer a win-win situation by providing effective symptom relief with once-daily dosing and minimal side effects.

Nasal Allergies and Irritation

If nasal allergies are your primary symptom and you’re struggling with congestion or post-nasal drip, steroid nasal sprays can be a game-changer! “Options like Flonase, Nasacort, and Rhinocort help reduce nasal inflammation,” explains Dr. Katie. “They can also decrease swelling of nasal passages, and improve symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing.”

Another option for relieving nasal irritations is using saline rinse bottles or neti-pot devices. “These devices can flush out mucus and allergens directly from your nose,” says Dr. Katie. To reduce the risk of infection, use bottled or distilled water and rinse the irrigation device with clean water after each use, allowing it to air dry.

Eye Allergies

If your worst symptoms are itchy, burning, watery, or swollen eyes, you may have allergic conjunctivitis. Simple lubricating eye drops or artificial tears can help flush out the eyes. If that doesn’t work, Dr. Katie recommends trying an antihistamine/mast cell stabilizer eye drop such as Pataday or Zaditor.

Beyond Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications

If at the end of the day, nothing has worked for your child, there are also prescription options for allergies or allergic asthma, and treatments like allergy testing and immunotherapy (allergy shots) that might be indicated in certain cases.

If your child is suffering from allergy symptoms and you’re unsure about what to do, don’t hesitate to reach out to our office, Pullman: (509) 332-2605; Moscow: (208) 882-2247. Palouse Pediatrics can help determine the best course of action and guide you through the various options to help alleviate allergy discomfort in your child.
