LEADERSHIP OPTIONS
INAM Audubon Elementary
I had the idea of kid president because there are so many things that kids can’t do. For example kids can’t go somewhere by themselves, or get a job, or drive, or vote for their country or state. I interviewd Karen Stratton, a Spokane City Council Member who thinks that there should be some leadership for kids. INAM: How long have you been on the City Council? STRATTON: I was appointed in 2014 and then I ran for office in 2015. I’ll be done—I can only have two terms—I was just reelected last year, and I’ll go until 2024. I think I have three years left. And then I can’t run again, so I’ll have to think of some other business or something to keep me busy because I’ve really enjoyed working with my neighborhoods. INAM: How does Coronavirus affect your work? STRATTON: Well, as you can see, I’m working from home. I try and go in the office once a week, but I really don’t need to. Everything I need I have at home. Where it’s really affected me is that we’ve lost some of the one-on-one communication with my neighborhoods. I believe Spokane has 28 neighborhood councils, and they meet once a month. In my district there are nine of them, so every month I go to nine neighborhood meetings. It’s great because you get to talk to the people who you represent, who you provide services for. And that to me is the best part of this job, is that I get to be out and working with people in West Central, in the Audubon-Downriver neighborhood, the EmersonGarfield neighborhood, and we talk a lot about their
services and their parks, what we can do to help their parks stay safe, what we can do to get them involved in city government and local government, and what we can do for kids. We’ve had lots of issues this fall and winter over at Audubon park. They weren’t watering it—we didn’t have the staff to water—so we had neighbors going out to water. I keep track of the splash pad over there, and if there’s a problem I can call the Parks Department. But that’s where it’s had a negative effect, it’s a lot harder now to reach out to people and to have that one-on-one because I think that’s what you need to be successful in being a council member. INAM: Why is there no real Kid President in the whole world? STRATTON: Well there should be. There should be. And I’ll tell you something, we only had one son, and he’s now grow-up, he’s 24, and he lives back East. But I love the way his generation thinks. And I’m a big believer that when we finish our jobs here, that we hand it down to the next generation, and I am anxious and excited for the next generation to take over. I think that your ideas are so much more compassionate. I think there’s a lot more energy in the generations under me that are willing to see some change that we have got to make not only in this country, but where we live. But I encourage, I don’t care how old you are, to get involved. Talk to your parents and have them take you to a neighborhood council meeting. Listen to what’s going on. Share your advice or your ideas. Because that’s what it’s going to take to make us, I think, a better
Photo of Inam interviewing Karen Stratton on Zoom country. That we’ve got to start listening to our younger people because you’re being raised in a world completely different than how I was raised, and I think that it’s going to be—my son went to a college and their motto was go out there and change the world—and I really believe that it’s the younger people that are going to change this world, so you should always take advantage of every little invitation to get involved in something. INAM: I think there should be someone who decides for the kids, who is one of the kids. STRATTON: I agree with you. And what we try and do, just so you know, we do have a group that is connected with the City, it’s called the Chase Youth Commission. And those are all youth that sit on a commission...

I H A D T H E P L E A S U R E O F TA L K I N G TO B R I A N R I T T E R AT T H E F O X T H E AT E R ABOUT HIS JOB AND HOW IT’S BEEN A F F E CT E D BY T H E CO R O N AV I R US . Photo of the Fox Theater by Melissa Dziedzic I had the pleasure of talking to Brian Ritter about his job and how it’s been affected by the Coronavirus. He is the General Manager of the Fox Theater. He started his job back in 2007, which is the same year the Fox Theater opened. This year is its thirteenth anniversary of being open. I’d like to tell you a little about the questions I asked him and his responses. In 2007, Ritter began as a consultant to the technical theater operations and was hired as Technical Director that same year. As Technical Director, he oversaw “the majority of the theater maintenance and upkeep, service contracts, and theater staffing.” I asked what has changed in his job due to COVID-19. He said, “These days we are working mostly from home in the absence of live events. This has been a challenge, especially when it comes to collaborative efforts for the future concert season.” I asked what his job was like before COVID-19 and he said, “Our schedules were primarily event
driven, in that if we had an event we would likely be working… sometimes all hours of the day. Some days might start at 7am and not finish until after the load out is done, as late as 2am. But the enjoyment of the audience always made the long hours put in worth the effort.” In 2017 he got another promotion to General Manager and now he handles all of the theater operations, including booking concerts for the Fox Presents Series. I asked him what has changed in his job due to COVID -19. He replied, “These days we are working mostly from home in the absence of live events. This has been a challenge, especially when it comes to collaborative efforts for the future concert season.” I also asked if the virtual events were hosted at (or from) the Fox Theater. He said, “We are planning an event with the Spokane Symphony at the Fox, to be available online on New Years Eve.” That event will be rehearsed and filmed the week of December 14th.
I want to say thank you to Brian Ritter for allowing me to interview you and learn more about the Fox Theater. I also want to congratulate you on your promotion back in 2007. I am sure the theater really benefits from your hard work. It is wonderful that even due to COVID you are still putting in the work to make shows for the community and I’m sure we are all looking forward to the show on New Years Eve. ·
WHY ARE PRONOUNS I M P O R TA N T ? MACKENZEE Holmes Elementary Photo of Mackenzee and Ellenore interviewing Nick Franco on Zoom I interviewed Nick Franco (they/them), Director of EWU’s Pride Center, about their thoughts and knowledge about pronouns and how they affect people in their daily lives. Here are some pieces I’ve chosen from our interview over Zoom earlier this month.
assume that person is a man, and with she/her, will assume that person is a woman.
pronouns, again, reflect gender and I think gender is super-fun and super-flexible and super-diverse.
MACKENZEE: How do we respect other people’s pronouns?
·
MACKENZEE: What is the Pride Center?
FRANCO: Well, the first step is that you want to use them! So if you know someone’s pronouns, make sure you use them and use the correct ones. So one way to respect them is to, one, use them, and of course, also ask.
FRANCO: It is mostly a place to hang out, so people do homework there, sleep, etc. MACKENZEE: Why are pronouns important? FRANCO: I think pronouns are important for a couple of reasons. One: they are an integral part of the English language. We cannot speak English and not use pronouns. We could but it would be very difficult to do so! So they’re important because they’re part of the language. The other reason they’re important is because they communicate an important part of people’s identity, right? They communicate people’s gender identity, often. So if we refer to someone with he/ him pronouns, the reader, audience, or listener will
MACKENZEE: Who does it affect?
It was great to hear Nick Franco’s thoughts and opinions on pronouns. My opinion on pronouns is that they are important because we use them daily, and they can be used for our gender expression. · ·
FRANCO: Well, my argument would be that pronouns affect everybody. MACKENZEE: What do you think of pronouns? FRANCO: I think that they can be really fun because in the English language—there are other languages where the language is pretty much set in stone and there’s not a lot of wiggle room... I find them fun because I think

V I R T UA L S C H O O L When first asked about the pros and cons of online school, elementary and middle school students had some pretty strong thoughts to share. “I could fill that whole page with cons,” Inam, a 5th grader from Audubon Elementary said. Shamiya, a 7th grader at Glover Middle School said, “The bad part is it’s overwhelming.”

W H Y K I D S S H O U L D H AV E M O R E L E A D E R S H I P O P T I O N S STRATTON: In fact, I just met with a young man who is going to be partnered with me on issues. He goes to North Central. And his issue, the thing he’s bringing forward, is food security, and how do we get healthy foods into neighborhoods. He’s also very interested in public safety and how our youth are being treated by the police department. He’s interested in having more activities in neighborhoods for kids. He’s interested in the bus program. Last year, we did a free bus pass program so kids could go to different events and not have to worry about waiting for parents to get home to take them. They had bus passes and they were free. So that youth commission, that Chase Youth Commission, anybody can watch the meetings, but they really represent that younger group of upcoming leaders that are really trying to make a change in their community. Also your neighborhood council, or me. You probably live in Northwest Spokane. I’ll make sure you have my email, and you can send me emails and say, Hey, I think we need to do this and this and this, and I can make sure that we hear it and that we listen to it. INAM: My last question is, have you ever felt that you’re not treated fairly? STRATTON: As an elected official? INAM: No, throughout your whole life. STRATTON: Yes. Yes, I do, and I’ll tell you why. When I was growing up, my mother was Native American,
and she was born and raised in Wellpinit, she’s a Spokane tribal member. My dad was born and raised in Springdale, and he was White-Irish-German, so when we were a family, us kids were classified that we had enough in us that we were descendants, or we were a percentage of Native American. When I was little, and this was way back a long time ago, I don’t know how it is now. When I was little I spent every summer on the Indian reservation with my grandma and grandpa, and aunts and uncles, and the life in Wellpinit. I would come back to school, and I felt scared to tell anybody that I was Native American because I didn’t know how they would treat me. And at one time, in second grade, I’ll never forget this, I remember raising my hand and saying I had spent the weekend with my grandma, and that my grandma was an elder in the tribe, and talked about my weekend. I had somebody come up to me and say, God doesn’t love blue-eyed Indians. And, You can’t be an Indian if you have blue eyes. That’s never— I’m 61 right now—I’ve never forgotten that feeling. Ever. I think there’s a lot of people that have stories of not being treated fairly, or being looked at as being different. And I will tell you that having lived a certain amount of my life now, I’m very proud of where I come from, and I’m very proud that my mother was a tribal member. I’m working right now with the tribes to change the name of Fort Wright Drive to make it a truly reflective of the Spokane Tribe of Indians. It takes a little bit of toughness to get through that. There were definitely times when I felt I was treated different. Have you been treated different?
INAM: Uh, for my whole life. STRATTON: Yeah. And how do you deal with that? INAM: Mainly I just let it go. STRATTON: My mom used to say that somebody has to be the bigger person. And I guess what you learn from that is that you would never treat somebody the same way, because you know personally how that feels. So I think that means you’re going to grow up to be a peacemaker. INAM: Basically. STRATTON: Good! I would support you in that effort because we need more of them. I definitely think we’ve got to make room for these new younger voices and you are that voice, and we need to hear more from you. Any time you want to come down to a council meeting to see how it all works, or anything like that, you let me know and we can make that happen. STRATTON: It was nice meeting you. INAM: It was nice meeting you too. STRATTON: Stay strong! INAM: I will. ·

RESPONDS
Are you trapped in a painting? While it’s true that I’m rarely seen, it’s not because I’m trapped in that lovely drawing of me at Spark Central. It’s because I am quite busy. When I’m not swimming through manuscripts and articles, I’m swimming—literally. Like most hippos, I spend about 16 hours a day in the water. On occasion, I pop my head through the door of my office at Spark to collect stories from aspiring authors. Perhaps you know someone who has seen me? Do you have secret plans to take over the world? If I told you, it wouldn’t be a secret... Does the zebra with a Harry Potter scarf go to Hogwarts? Hmmm. I doubt it. I think he was just attracted to the stripes. Are you bald? I am not entirely bald. Like most hippos, I have very little hair. I have been this way all my life.
comma, Snoz will sit on anyone who forgets to put it in its proper place.
Where is Snozzelwit the 1st and 2nd? Snozzelwits 1 and 2 both live in Africa.
Do you have a significant other? Well, Spokane is a hard place to meet eligible hippos. But I’m actually pretty content with my solitary lifestyle.
Why does it say “press” on your hat? Ah, great question! That is my press pass! It means I’m a journalist, and it gives me access to events and other areas so I can get the best scoop.
Why do you have a tie and hat? I like to keep things professional.
Dear Snoz give me an honest answer. Why are you so sassy? I guess I was born that way. You have to be bold to survive life in the wild! Why do we have to build a garden in Minecraft today? Gardens are great! You can grow lettuce, grass, more lettuce, more grass, more and juicier grass…. Who wouldn’t want to build a garden?
Do you have other clothes? Of course! I have a fine selection of bathing suits for my frequent dips in the river, and since Spokane has much colder winters than my native habitat of sub-Saharan Africa, I have a nice warm fluffy winter coat.
