Washington state poet laureate Kathleen Flenniken will give a reading from her latest book, Plume, on Wednesday, Feb. 27, at 12 p.m. at Wenatchee Valley College. This event is free and open to the public. Plume (University of Washington Press, 2012) is a meditation on the Hanford Nuclear Site and Flenniken’s hometown of Richland, Wash. The collection was a recent finalist for a Pacific Northwest Book Award. Flenniken’s first book, Famous (University of Nebraska Press, 2006) won the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, was named a Notable Book by the American Library Association, and was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. Her honors include a Pushcart Prize and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and Artist Trust. She is an editor and president of Floating Bridge Press, a nonprofit press dedicated to publishing Washington state poets, and she is president of Jack Straw Foundation, an audio arts studio and cultural center. The poet laureate serves to build awareness and appreciation of poetry through public readings, workshops, lectures and presentations to communities, schools, colleges and universities, and other public settings. The poet laureate is sponsored by Humanities Washington and the Washington State Arts Commission. Flenniken will serve as the state’s poet laureate until 2014.

Hunger for Education His thoughts turned to the future. Since elementary school he had wanted to be a nurse. At the time, however, his parents weren’t supportive of his desire to leave home for college. He decided not to tell his parents and applied to WVC over the summer. “I had a car. I was working multiple jobs – orchard work, restaurant work, mowing lawns, selling cutlery – whatever I could find to save up money. My parents assumed the worst, that I must be in to drugs or alcohol, but it was completely the opposite,” Ricardo said. Ricardo left for the Wenatchee Valley College campus on a Sunday night. He packed his car with items including blankets, pillows, dry bread, Nutella and canned soup. He slept in his car by Lincoln Park and started classes on Monday morning. With no friends, and nowhere to turn, he spent the entire first quarter searching for stable housing. “As much as I wanted a friend, I was scared to reveal all the things I was going through,” Ricardo said.
Born in Wenatchee, Ricardo Sánchez grew up in the Columbia Basin area and began working in the orchards at three years old. His first memory is of picking peaches by headlamp in the dark. By sixth grade, he was working in the orchards before and after school. “My family needed me to work to help pay for rent and food,” said Ricardo. “I was always behind in school. Sometimes, when the bills were piling up, I needed to stay home and work.” Early in high school, he began missing a lot of school. “My GPA was 1.8. I was failing many classes,” he said. By his junior year at Royal High School in Royal City, his family’s employment situation improved, and he spent less time working in the orchards. Due to his passion for academics, Ricardo began to excel in school. His GPA rose to 3.7, and he was honored for academic excellence and improvement.
“If your hunger for education and a better life is stronger than your hunger for actual food, you can do it.”
-Ricardo Sánchez
The winter was hard. He was turned away at the food bank after being recognized by fellow students who thought that because Ricardo was a student, he didn’t need the help as much as the next person in line. The nights were cold, but he quickly learned how to survive and shared these winter survival tips: • Park under a tree in cold weather; it prevents frost on the windows.
• Park really close to a wall of a heated building; it provides warmth and insulation. • Always crack a window; it prevents moisture build up and the need to scrape the inside of the windows. • Newspaper is the best insulator to stuff clothes with. “I’d grab the Nickel ads and stuff my sweatpants. It was still miserable, but it made it a little easier,” he said. Tired and unhealthy, he kept going. During winter quarter, he made his first official friend and was invited to dinner to help out with a school project. The friend let him stay on his couch and hang out on weekends. As the year went on, he made more friends and became proficient at sofa surfing, but the stress took its toll.
The College Assistance Migrant Program at Wenatchee Valley College provides students from migrant and seasonal farmworker backgrounds with educational and support services to succeed in college. Located in Wells Hall, CAMP offers tutoring in math, science and English; helps students enroll in classes and apply for financial aid; monitors student progress to ensure they stay on track academically; and provides leadership development and student field trips. In the CAMP suite, students have a space to interact, study and complete homework in a small computer lab. www.wvc.edu/CAMP.
“My grades were falling,” he said. “Concentrating on scraping by and staying alive were my priorities. And then I found CAMP (College Assistance Migrant Program). It’s been steadily better ever since.” Now in his third year at WVC, Ricardo is working on prerequisites for the nursing program with the goal of becoming a nurse practitioner in the future. He works as a math and science tutor for CAMP students and volunteers as an anatomy and physiology lab assistant for open lab sessions with biology professor Rob Fitch. “Ricardo is very respectful and a great role model for his peers,” said WVC CAMP Director Marcia Fall. “He understands the importance of giving back to people and the community, and his actions positively impact those around him.” Through a recent donation to the WVC Foundation by an anonymous donor, Ricardo is now living in the residence hall for the remainder of the school year. While there are still uncertainties and struggles, he is determined to succeed. “As long as you’re still alive, still kicking, keep going,” Ricardo suggested. “There were several times I was out of food, out of money and still living in my car. I didn’t have a place to turn. I wanted to give up. I wanted to eat, I was so nauseous. I felt like I was starving. Once an instructor talked to me, bought me some food. I don’t even know how, but I made it. You can do it, just don’t give up. If your hunger for education and a better life is stronger than your hunger for actual food, you can do it.”
COUNSELING CENTER The WVC Counseling Center provides a wide range of services that are free, voluntary and confidential for WVC students: • Academic counseling • Re-admission petitions • Personal counseling • Crisis intervention • At-risk intervention • Problem-solving strategies • High school completion Bertha Sanchez, who is bilingual and bi-cultural, has office hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily in Wenatchi Hall.

Shane Roper: Veteran Student Not all military personnel recently discharged from service transition easily from military life to college life, and Shane Roper recognized himself in other veterans he saw. “A lot of people like me who’d just gotten out were very reclusive and secluded themselves away from people,” he said. Shane is working with WVC Veteran Coordinator Laura Murphy and biology faculty member Dr. Dan Stephens to create a new veterans club on the Wenatchee campus that will draw student veterans together, especially those who are new to college, to tutor and mentor one another as they transition from military to school.
“I want to help people feel
some kind of comfort, more at ease, a sense that they belong somewhere.”
– Shane Roper
Shane’s navy career began after high school and included three deployments to the Persian Gulf for six months at a time. His job included assisting in the launch of aircraft off the flight deck, troubleshooting engine and fuel system problems, overseeing the jet mechanic shop and the line and troubleshooter shacks, and performing quality assurance inspections. At the end of his service, he’d made rank as an E5 Second Class Petty Officer and earned one Navy Good Conduct medal, two Armed Forces Expeditionary Medals, two National Defense medals and one Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medal. After the navy, he floated between states and jobs, uncertain exactly where he belonged. For a time he lived at home in Dryden, Michigan, then in New York and Cle Elum, Washington, before finally settling in Wenatchee, where he worked on automated machines at Pacific Aerospace and other local machine shops. His layoff in 2011 was one of discouragement and hope. “I wanted a 180-degree change,” Shane said. He wasn’t certain about his ability to go back to school, but found encouragement from his military experience. “If I could work on a flight deck, I could do this,” he said. Shane enrolled at Wenatchee Valley College, where he immediately sought out Laura Murphy, who helped him with class scheduling and paperwork.
He plans to complete his transfer degree and work his way toward a doctorate in either psychology or microbiology. If he chooses psychology, he wants to open his own practice and work with clients who have suffered from highly stressful situations, such as those from the military who suffer from Acute Stress Disorder or divorce, and young adults leaving a household where they were abused as children. “It’s time for me to stop moving around and stick to something long term,” he said. He encourages other veterans to do the same. “Don’t do like I did, moving around job to job, town to town. If you decide to go to school, stick with it so that you don’t have to worry whether or not you’ll be able to take care of yourself or your kids.”
WVC Veterans Lounge Shane Roper currently works in the WVC Veterans Office and new veterans lounge, located on the lower level of Brown Library. The lounge is a place for student veterans to connect, study, and relax, and includes computers donated by the VFW. The student veterans are seeking furniture donations for the lounge. For more information or to make a donation, contact WVC Veteran Coordinator Laura Murphy at 509.682.6814.

Olympia Odyssey Several members of the student senate from the Wenatchee and Omak campuses, along with senate advisers Kelly Ketcham and Livia Millard, visited the state capitol in Olympia at the end of January. Students met with State Senator Linda Evans Parlette, State Representative Brad Hawkins, and had lunch with State Representative Cary Condotta from the Twelfth Legislative District. Students were given the opportunity to ask questions on issues related to and affecting college students, such as increasing college costs. During their visit, they toured the Capitol, Legislative and Temple of Justice Buildings, and the Governor’s Mansion, where they met First Lady Trudi Inslee. Students also watched the legislative floor in action and witnessed a resolution being passed.
them about my desire to play it,” Knute explained. While on tour, a guide offered to let students play the piano. “I felt like I died and went to heaven,” Knute said. “I told him I would love to play the Blüthner, and I proceeded to sit myself down on the piano stool. I knew the song I wanted to play, and I simply went for it. The rest is—how do they say?—history.” Knute played “Wedding Dress,” a song performed by the Korean singer Taeyang.
During the trip, Knute Medina, WVC at Omak student senate member, had the opportunity to play a 160-yearold Blüthner grand piano in the reception hall of the capitol building. “It was nothing short of amazing,” Knute said about the experience. “There are only 14 Blüthners in the world and two in the United States.” “I was talking to a fellow musician on the trip, telling

Helen Thayer presents
“Three Among the Wolves” Omak Performing Arts Center Monday, April 22, at 7 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
Three Among the Wolves (Sasquatch Books, 2006) is Thayer’s second book. She and her husband Bill traveled to the Canadian Yukon Territory, above the Arctic Circle, to live within 100 feet of a wild wolf den. They spent a summer observing and documenting the daily lives and activities of the pack and returned in the winter to study the wolves interacting with polar bears on the northern sea ice. It is a remarkable story of wolves in the wild—their pup care, their hunts and their social hierarchy explained.
Photo: Helen Thayer
This motivational program includes rare photography, not only of the wolf family, but many other Arctic animals such as grizzlies, moose, lynx and of the northern tundra plains. Thayer has received numerous awards and recognitions for her achievements and expeditions. In 2010, she was chosen by the University of Washington as one of Washington state’s “100 Women Who Have Made a Difference.” She was also named “One of the Great Explorers of the 20th Century” by National Geographic in 2002. This presentation is an Earth Day event and is sponsored by the Associated Students of Wenatchee Valley College at Omak and the WVC at Omak Foundation.

Transforming Lives The Wenatchee Valley College Board of Trustees nominated Tom McGinness for a 2013 Transforming Lives award. The award, given by the Washington Trustees Association of Community and Technical Colleges, honored students and graduates who overcame barriers in pursuit of a college degree. Though Tom was not selected in January as one of the five winners chosen from across the state, he is an inspiration and role model for his peers, and believes strongly in giving back to help others. Tom’s education journey was anything but smooth. Just out of high school, he joined the Marine Reserves. After boot camp, combat training, tank school, two deployments, a failed attempt at a university and a period of unfulfilling employment, he decided he was ready for a second attempt at a college degree. Tom enrolled at Wenatchee Valley College, and once on campus, he began to seek out resources in the veteran’s office and the career center. “Tom’s maturity, dedication and diligence did not go unnoticed,” said Randy Mitchell, WVC Director of Education and Career Planning. “He was offered a work-study position in the veteran’s office helping fellow veterans. The students enjoyed working with Tom and considered him a role model.” Tom’s struggles with injuries, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder led him to the field of psychology. Learning about himself and the desire to heal from mental and physical trauma gave him a strong sense of purpose, he said. After earning his associate’s degree from WVC, he transferred to CWU in Ellensburg. Upon graduation, he plans to pursue a master’s degree and help others develop coping mechanisms and healing in the field of mental health counseling. “I’ve gone through enough trauma,” Tom said. “I figure I can now give back.”
“Don’t let anything stand in your way. If you meet a barrier, find another way.”
-Tom McGinness
At Central, he is helping to start a veterans group. At WVC, his feedback and insight for developing the new veterans’ lounge was invaluable, said veteran’s coordinator Laura Murphy. He continues to visit WVC during breaks from CWU and help current students with final plans. Tom credits the community college experience—the smaller setting, accessible resources and services, and the personal attention from faculty and staff—with helping him make the transition. “While that may be true, it was his personal determination, strong work ethic and the commitment to his educational goals that led him to where he is today,” said WVC Board of Trustees President Jim Tiffany. “Tom refuses to give up or give in.” “Don’t let anything stand in your way,” Tom said. “If you meet a barrier, find another way. Work toward your goals. It pays off in the end. Do something that’s beneficial to yourself and others.”
