Pullman Community UPDATE 3June 2012 Pullman School DiStrict

At Washington State University’s Beasley Coliseum, on Saturday, June 2, Pullman High School will cele-brate commencement for the Class of 2012. Every graduating class is differ-ent and unique, with distinguishing characteristics that makes that class stand out from all other classes. The thought that comes to mind with this class is achievement—achievement in many areas at the personal level has made the Class of 2012, collectively, a high-achieving group.

The Class of 2012 has seven Na-tional Merit Finalists. These finalists are selected based on PSAT scores and academic achievement. Being se-lected as a National Merit Finalist is a very prestigious honor that makes these students eligible for scholar-ships at many institutions. The final-ists from this year’s class are Fred-erick Chen, Koushik Dutta, Malte Lange, Willa Middaugh, Vishaka Munhunthan, Mitchell Tang and Ledaman Zakarison. Additionally, the Class of 2012 has seven Com-mended Students as determined by

the National Merit Scholarship Pro-gram. Those seven students are Scott Fleener, Dylan Moore, Jack Qui, Ula Saberi, Richard Schumaker, Katherine Shirazi and Jimmy Yin.

Two students from the Class of 2012 finished first and second in the Washington State Skills USA compe-tition in April in western Washing-ton. Sam Barner was the top finisher and Trevor Edwards was the runner-up. This honor makes a student eli-gible to compete at the national Skills USA competition in Kansas City in July. Sam is deferring that honor to Trevor, and Trevor will travel to the national competition.

Bowen Wolcott has been selected to participate in the All-National Jazz Band. Bowen is a superb trumpet player and musician. He will travel to Washington D.C. in June to rehearse with 300 other high school students selected to the band. The trip will culminate with the group perform-ing at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Members of the Class of 2012 were participants in the National Science Bowl competition in Washington D.C. in April. Vishaka Muhunthan, Mitchell Tang and Jimmy Yin were the participants from this year’s se-nior class. Vishaka and Mitchell were members of PHS Science Bowl teams that won state and were rewarded with a trip to Washington D.C. for three years in a row.

Two members of this class, Jen-nifer Nakata and April Oviatt, were members of the PHS volleyball team that won back-to-back state titles in 2009 and 2010. In three years of com-peting at the state volleyball tourna-ment, these athletes were part of teams that went 10-2 at state.

This year’s class also has a student who will attend the United States Military Academy at West Point. Jimmy Yin will be attending West Point this fall. He is the second PHS graduate in as many years to receive this scholarship.

Milly Xun will attend the United States Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. Each class at the Academy has only 250 students, and selection to the Coast Guard Academy is very exclusive.

This is just a small cross-section of the high individual achievement among our graduating class. To-gether, the Class of 2012 gives great representation of the Pullman com-munity; students, parents and all community members who support Pullman Schools.

The breakfast and lunch pro-grams in the Pullman Public Schools continue to adapt to new nutrition guidelines that will help our students be healthier and better prepared to learn. Over seven years ago the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Food & Nutrition Service (USDA/FNS) be-gan the process of rewriting nutrition standards for school meals. A col-laborative effort amongst a variety of stakeholders eventually resulted in the passage of the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. With the passage of that act came new requirements that raise the nutrition standards for school meals for the first time in more than fifteen years. The new pattern for school lunches is effective July 1, 2012, with changes to the school breakfast program being phased in starting July 2013. Nutrition, Health, and Educa-tion Advocates across the nation have publicly applauded these changes that will improve the health and wellbe-ing of 32 million students nationwide. Our nationwide focus on improving school meals comes at a critical time as young people increasingly suffer from preventable diseases such as dia-betes and high blood pressure.

The new standards are the strongest to date and cover the following:

•Ensuring students are offered both fruits and vegetables every day of the week;

• Substantially increasing offerings of whole grain-rich foods;

•Offering only fat-free and low-fat milk varieties;

• Limiting calories based on the age of children to ensure proper portion size;

• Increasing the focus on reduc-ing the amounts of saturated fat, trans fats, and sodium.

In the Pullman Public Schools we have already made progress on meet-ing the new standards. For many years we have offered fresh fruits and veg-etables daily. At the elementary and middle school we have these choices available each day for students to put on their tray in unlimited quantities. High school students have numerous choices daily with a limit of two fruits and/or vegetables as part of their com-plete lunch. The green salad we offer is a mix of both romaine and iceberg. We purchase apples direct from a grower in the Okanogan Valley. Next year as we implement specific regulations of the Healthy Hunger-Free Act of 2010 we will be offering more beans, legumes, dark green and red/orange vegetable options. The new require-ment to serve legumes is great news for the lentil farmers in our region!

Over the past five years we have continued to increase the type of whole grain products we serve. Our sandwich bread, yeast rolls, even the

breading on some entrée items are whole grain. We often serve pizza on whole grain crust. In the fall of 2011 we were required by the USDA to drop 2% milk as an option. Hence, we have 1% milk, and fat free milk (both white and chocolate) available to our students. All juice served is 100% fruit juice. None of the products we serve are deep fat fried. While the new USDA regulations do not limit the times a starchy vegetable (potato) is served in a week we have chosen to limit baked french fries on our menu to approximately twice a month. We are excited about cooking more of our entrée items from scratch next year.

We recognize how important it is to encourage students to choose and consume healthier options. When we offered a baked potato bar this spring it was disappointing to see how many children did not recognize a whole potato with the skin on it and con-sequently didn’t eat it. We hope that by offering more local produce and whole foods into the cafeteria and educating our students on making healthy choices, they will be more familiar with and excited by options such as baked potatoes. This spring we involved the 4th graders at Jeffer-son in helping to develop some new menu items that they were interested in. Our school nutrition staff will con-tinue to work on creative solutions to ensure healthy foods appeal to stu-dents. We know that many families

are making the effort to eat healthier foods at home and that helps students make healthy choices in the cafeteria. Students are far more likely to pick up a fruit or vegetable in the lunch line if they have been introduced to these foods at home.

In the Pullman School District we are joining others in the community to support the “Let’s Move” campaign, a nationwide effort to solve the epi-demic of childhood obesity. The city of Pullman is a “Let’s Move” city and we are pleased to be making positive change in our nutrition programs that support the goals of the campaign.

As the food service supervisor for our child nutrition program I welcome your input and comments. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected].

June 11-17th is National Men’s Health Week, and Pullman Regional Hospital encourages all men to de-velop a relationship with a physician. A good relationship between male pa-tients and their medical providers is crucial to men visiting their doctors for preventive check-ups and health-care concerns.

Trust is key, according to Benno J. Mohr, M.D. with Palouse Medical and a hospitalist at Pullman Regional Hos-pital.

“Without trust, effective communi-cation cannot happen; the context for information is lost, and care suffers,” says Dr. Mohr. “The important thing for patients to remember is that a rela-tionship takes time and participation. Your physician needs to know about your health and about you.”

menshealthnetwork.org, says, men live about 5 years less than their fe-male counterparts on average, have a higher death rate for most of the lead-ing causes of death, and that one in two men will develop cancer in their life-time. Yet men make half as many phy-sician visits for prevention as women.

“Frequently, men would rather not talk about health issues even though they are concerned about them,” says Dr. Mohr.

Bruce Palmer, prostate cancer sur-vivor and founder of the Palouse Pros-tate Cancer Support Group, advises

men to ask their physician lots of ques-tions, and if it’s helpful, to bring along their spouse. “She helps me relax, and she’s also fully aware of my medical treatments.”

Palmer’s cancer was discovered through a prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening test he has scheduled annually since the age 50. There’s no question in Palmer’s mind that screen-ing tests and routine checkups are nec-essary. “Early detection is the key to beating cancer,” says Palmer.

The Men’s Health Network advises that regular checkups and age-appro-priate screenings CAN improve your health and reduce premature death and disability. The Get It Checked men’s health checklist can be found on-line at www.menshealthnetwork.org and lists the ages and frequencies men should schedule physical exams and screenings like testosterone screenings and prostate cancer detection exams.

Genetic consultations by Ian Wal-lace, Genetic Counselor, with Summit Therapy & Health Services at Pullman Regional Hospital, are another step men can take to understand their risks of developing cancers, such as prostate cancer.

While your health should be cele-brated every week, Men’s Health Week is a good reminder of the importance of preventative care like regular check-ups with a care provider you trust.

What’s Up Doc?What’s Up Doc?

Dear Ian,I have two relatives with can-

cer. What’s the risk for my kids or me to get cancer?

MaryMoscow, IDThanks for your question, Mary.

It’s estimated that over 1.6 mil-lion people in the U.S. will be di-agnosed with cancer this year, so you have a very common concern. Cancer is actually a general term that encompasses 200 different diseases of abnormal cell growth, each with unique characteristics. Cancer is usually caused by combi-nation of genetic and environmen-tal factors.

Any type of cancer can be caused by genetic mutations running in a family, but some are more likely to be heritable. Breast, ovarian, colorectal, endometrial, pancreatic, and skin cancers are often linked to a particular gene mutation. Age of onset is also important: 23% of cancers are diagnosed in people 54 or younger. While cancer with a genetic cause can occur at any age, genetic counseling is always rec-ommended when it occurs in this younger segment of the population. Another red flag for heritable can-cer is when there are two or more close relatives with a history of can-cer. Given your family history, ge-netic counseling is needed to pro-vide you with exact risks.

During a genetic consultation, we discuss the health histories of

you and your relatives and use com-puter modeling to give you detailed risks for several types of cancer. We also discuss the option of genetic testing, which can confirm wheth-er you carry a mutation that pre-disposes you to cancer. This is im-portant, because knowing whether you have certain mutations allows you to receive personalized guid-ance on the most effective types of cancer prevention, surveillance, and therapy. If you carry a muta-tion, there’s a 50% chance that you passed it on to each of your chil-dren. This appointment is usually covered by insurance and only re-quires a referral from your physi-cian.

Ian Wallace is a Certified Genetic Counselor with Summit Therapy & Health Services of Pullman Region-al Hospital. Submit your questions to [email protected], or make an appointment by calling 509-332-5106.

Pullman Community UPDATE 7June 2012 Pullman regional hoSPital

Both chemotherapy and radiation have played critical roles in the treat-ment of cancer, saving or extending countless lives since their inception. However, the same potency that makes them so valuable in the fight to defeat the disease is also responsible for a number of unwanted physical side effects, including dry skin and nails, and partial or total loss of hair.

That is when the American Cancer Society’s Palouse Area Look Good … Feel Better program becomes so essential.

The Palouse Area Look Good … Feel Better program is a collabora-tion between the American Cancer Society, Gritman Medical Center and Pullman Regional Hospital.

The Society’s Look Good … Feel Better is a program where licensed cosmetologists donate their time and talents to teach beauty techniques to women in active cancer treatment to help them combat the appearance - related side effects that often result.

The two-hour classes are offered free of charge to all cancer patients and are held quarterly at Gritman Medical Center’s Cancer Resource Center, Wagner Room. The next class

is scheduled for June 16, 1-3 p.m.Classes are held in a friendly, con-

fidential setting where the profes-sionals teach the women how to cope with skin changes, hair loss and how to shape and style their wigs, scarves and turbans to fit any business or social occasion. Hats, wigs, turbans, prosthesis, bras, and other items are available through the Cancer Re-source Center to those attending the class.

As the name suggests, the Look Good … Feel Better program is not restricted to patients living in Pull-man or Moscow, but is a resource available to anyone in the Palouse who can benefit from it.

The program is open to cancer patients, their caregivers and family members, no matter where they live in the Palouse or where they’re re-ceiving their treatments.

To RSVP for the next American Cancer Society Palouse Area Look Good … Feel Better class, set for June 16, or to learn more about the program, call (208) 883-6030, or email [email protected]. An RSVP is required to secure a seat in the class.

They are best known for putting out the Flags on July 4th and other patriotic holidays, and the wooden crosses in the Pullman Cemeteries on Memorial Day with support from Boy Scout Troop 444.

Post 52 has led the way in the state of Washington for having students participate in the American Legion State and National Oratorical con-tests. These are contests where stu-dents give eight minute talks on a patriotic topic of their choice. Paige Druffel, as a sophomore at Pullman High School, won the WA state con-test in 2008 and received an award of $2000. She also received an all ex-pense trip to Indianapolis to partici-pate in the national contest and won $1500. Although she did not win National, she acquitted herself well, and went on to place in the top four in the state contests in 2009 and 2010. In 2011 Jenna Kincaid, a PHS senior was one of the State finalists, as well. This year, Sydney Reynolds, a junior

at Pullman High School, also won the American Legion WA state award and acquitted herself well at the National contest in Indianapolis. We hope to see her again next year as a senior.

Post 52 has also led the way in achieving Educator of the Year awards from the Washington State American Legion. Mary Jane Neill, a teacher at Pullman High School, won Educator of the Year in 2008 for grades 7-12 and Tina Davault, also a teacher at PHS, won in 2010 for grades 7-12. This year, Bessie Kolva, a teacher at Royal Garrison in Gladish, has been nominated for Educator of the Year for grades K-6. All winners are recog-nized in front of their peers, receive a nice plaque, and $250 for classroom supplies.

In addition, the post has managed to arrange financial assistance for vet-erans in the last four years that total over $20,000. They also hold a flag dis-posal ceremony with the Boy Scouts about every two years to properly dis-pose of American flags that should no longer be flown. The Pullman Ameri-can Legion Post also participates as a flag color guard in local parades, such

as the Lentil Festival, The Johnson Parade and the funerals and the me-morial services of local veterans. In addition, the post provides financial support to the Pullman Regional Hos-pital, helping to finance the heliport. The post also proposes and supports candidates to Boy’s State and Girl’s State in the summer and provides the Chuck Fredrickson’s Memorial Schol-arship at $1000 a year to a deserving Pullman High senior. Veterans Day ceremonies around November 11th at WSU, Pullman High School and in Gladish with Royal Garrison, are also their big events of the year.

Post 52 has its meetings Septem-ber to June on the third Wednesday of each month, in room 115 (Gold Room) in Gladish at 7 p.m.. They also have a post picnic on July 29th at 3 p.m. at Kruegel Park. All veterans and family members are invited. Contact the post adjutant, Jerry Coker, [email protected] or their post commander James Lohr at [email protected] or call Gladish at 332-8081 for more info.

According to recent research, 90% of a child’s brain develop-ment occurs within the first three years of life! With that in mind, Early Learning Services provides developmental resources and support to children and fami-lies. Early Learning Services is contracted through Washing-ton State’s Department of Early Learning’s ‘Early Support for Infants and Toddlers Program’ (ESIT), and provides early in-tervention services to children aged birth to three in Whitman County. Early intervention is a set of services designed to help families support the development

of children birth to three with de-velopmental disabilities/delays.

Are you curious about your child’s development? Our Ages & Stages program offers free devel-opmental screening for children up to age three.

Drop by our Family Connec-tions room for resources about children, which includes many resources for parents and care-givers. We have brochures, as well as books and videos for checkout. Some of our subjects include: baby care, developmental mile-stones, sleep, nutrition, and much more! Come take a look.

2012 Summer Camps

Pullman Community UPDATE 11June 2012 ymca at WSu

The YMCA at WSU is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Michelle Eaton as its next executive director and chief executive officer. Michelle received a Doctorate in Hu-man Services and Family Relations and a Master’s Degree in Early Child-hood Education, both from Kansas State University. Michelle received a Bachelor’s Degree from the Uni-versity of Idaho in Family and Con-sumer Sciences: Child Development and Family Relations. Michelle has been the Director of two nationally accredited programs for young chil-dren, as well as the Director of Early

Childhood Services at the University of Idaho’s Center for Disabilities and Human Services.

Michelle is a Pullman High School graduate. As a long-time resident, Michelle brings a passion for working and living on the Palouse. Michelle and her family have been active in community volunteerism. Michelle has over 20 years experience work-ing with children and families.

“I look forward to the opportunity to lead the Pullman YMCA, and to utilize my knowledge and experienc-es to promote youth development,

healthy living, and social respon-sibility in my community. We will continue to offer current high qual-ity programs, and I have plans in the future to expand on community pro-grams based on needs,” said Eaton.

“Michelle brings a wealth of ex-perience and passion into this posi-tion,” said Jud Preece, Chair of the YMCA Board of Trustees. “She was the leading candidate from day one. The YMCA, WSU students, the Pull-man area, and all of our partners and participants are very fortunate to have her working in this commu-nity.”

The YMCA is now taking deposits for their weekly summer camp program for kids ages 5-12 which is scheduled to run for 10 weeks this summer. Each week, trained counselors will take participants on a journey to a different country (Italy, China, Bangladesh, Germany, Australia, America, and more!) via games, group projects, crafts, field trips, swimming, and more—all while incorporating the YMCA’s core values. The annual week-long overnight camp at Camp Reed will also be available. Weekly rates begin At $115 per week. Stop by our office at 105 NE Spring Street, email at [email protected], call 332-3524, or visit ymca.wsu.edu for a full-color brochure and registration infor-mation.

Over the last month the YMCA has hosted several events for our families to enjoy. It was great to see so many familiar faces during Familiar Fair on April 21st. Many YMCA families even participated in the Healthy Kids Day Fun Run and inflatable obstacle course.

On April 28th we put on a breakfast celebrating Na-tional Healthy Kids Day and also recognized the kids who participated in our Marathon in a Month challenge and took at least 55,000 steps during the month of April! We are so proud of how well our YMCA kids did with this challenge and how diligently kids worked to meet their goals. Together we tracked a total of 2,257,546 steps!

To add to our couple weeks of excitement we had our End of the Year Potluck on May 2nd which is always a great time to come together and enjoy good food and great company.

WaferWafer is a spayed adult female New

Zealand rabbit who was brought to WCHS by Pullman Animal Con-trol after she was spotted wandering around Sunnyside Park. She is very friendly and loves to hop around in her playpen and shred newspaper in her cage. Wafer is not yet litterbox trained but could probably be easily trained to do so. Wafer also drinks out of an open water dish instead of a hanging water bottle.

HuckleberryHuckleberry is a wonderful 3-year-

old gray tabby with white female who was brought to the shelter by Animal Control back in January. When she came here she was very skinny, but she has since gained healthy weight! Huckleberry is quite a character. She is very loving and adores being

brushed. Her favorite toy is her mini scratching post - sometimes she even cuddles with it! Rather than sleeping on her cat bed, Huckleberry often prefers to sleep under it. She is social with people and usually just likes to lay back and relax. Huckleberry does not really like other cats or dogs, so she would do best as the only pet in her new family.

If you are interested in Huckle-berry or any of our other pets, please contact our staff at (509)332-3422 or [email protected] or simply visit AnimalHaven!

WCHS will have an informational table and show off some of our adoptable pets at the 5th Anniversary Celebration for Pullman’s ACE Hardware at 1690 South Grand Avenue. We will be on site both Friday and Saturday, June 8th and 9th, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

Please stop by and visit us!

Over the past couple years, the extensive downturn of the economy has had a significant effect on pet owners throughout the country. WCHS has experienced growing numbers of dog owners who wish to rehome their pets. As a no-kill shelter which also serves the city of Pullman by taking in stray dogs until their owners reclaim them, WCHS currently has a very limited capacity. WCHS hopes to take in dogs who get along well with other dogs, but as dog owners know, this

is not always the case – dogs can be picky too! To better accommodate the needs of adoptable dogs as well as those of the public, WCHS seeks to build a second dog building – Ca-nine Village 2. The estimated cost of a new building, which will allow WCHS to house anywhere between 10 dogs who prefer to be alone and 20+ dogs who play nicely with oth-ers, is $400,000. A major contributor to the cost is that the walls must be solid concrete for sound abatement. The population in Whitman County

is approximately 40,000+ residents. If each resident donated just $10, WCHS would be able to build Ca-nine Village 2! Please consider as-sisting WCHS with a donation to help more adoptable dogs today. Simply use the donation form below and mail it to our administrative of-fice. Thank you from the homeless dogs of Whitman County!

Vote for New WCHS Directors!The new slate of candidates

for our Board of Directors will be coming to your mailboxes at the end of the month in the summer newsletter. Candi-dates are elected through a negative vote, which means that candidates will take office in August, 2012 unless there is a majority vote against their candidacies. If you are a current member of WCHS and have any comments, questions, or concerns about our slate, please contact our administrative manager, Joan Rutkowski, at [email protected] or by phone at (509) 332-2246. Only current WCHS members are eligible to vote. If you are not a current member but are interested in voicing your opinion, please fill out the donation form below and send it in with your $29 membership fee. Mem-bership helps WCHS fund the costs of animal care all year long!

Pullman Community UPDATE 17June 2012 chilDcare reSource & referral

The Child Development Labora-tory at Washington State University is a preschool program operated by the Department of Human Develop-ment. We are a teacher training lab and a site for research, but our first mission is to provide high quality care/education for children between three and five years of age. Our pro-gram serves 18 three to five year-olds and operates from 8:30-11:30 a.m., Monday-Thursday. We fol-low WSU’s academic calendar, and are closed Thanksgiving week and Spring Break week, as well as during the winter break, resulting in two 14 week sessions for the children. We do not operate during the summer. Families do not need to be employed by or enrolled at WSU to participate in the CDL. The tuition is currently $420 per semester.

The classroom is supervised by a master teacher who directs three to four student teachers that are major-ing in Human Development. These student teachers have completed course work in child development, classroom management, curriculum planning, and child assessment. The same teachers are with the children every day for the semester, but the

student teaching staff does change each semester.

We use an “emergent” curriculum model, in which the teachers observe the children’s development and inter-ests, and plan activities that fit those current needs and interests. Our cur-riculum is designed to address all of the developmental areas of the chil-dren; we provide activities planned to facilitate physical and social develop-ment, as well as cognition. We plan activities that engage the children in a hands-on, child-directed mode. The teacher’s role is to guide that engage-ment in a way that facilitates the indi-vidual child’s learning and curiosity. We do extensive observational as-sessment and share our observations with parents in an end of the semes-ter conference. You can arrange a visit by calling Brenda Boyd at 335-9642. We maintain a waiting list; to place your child on the list, complete the form found on our web site (http://hd.wsu.edu/cdl). Enrollment for the upcoming academic year (August-April) occurs in the spring. Call now (335-9642) to check on availability of openings for the 2012-13 academic year.

Pullman Christian Childcare Center is gearing up for its summer program! In addition to seasonal themes, chil-dren can expect the summer program to be active and engaging. Preschool and School-Aged children participate in: weekly field trips around the com-munity, weekly library trips, and a daily swimming program. “We like to get the kids moving and take their learning be-yond the walls of the Center and sum-mer is a great time to seize new oppor-tunities to do so,” says Director, Cassi Fitzgerald.

In addition to its three different areas available for active play, PCCC is excit-ed to announce that it will begin the in-stallation of a new playground structure this summer! The new structure, mea-suring approximately twenty feet wide by sixty feet long, will be installed ad-jacent to the Center on the Living Faith Fellowship campus. Currently, PCCC classrooms utilize this large play field when the children want to have a flat,

open space to play organized games. The play structure, a generous donation to Pullman Christian School and Child-care Center, will hopefully be com-pletely installed by the end of July. Not only will there be a second playground for use by the various classrooms at the school and childcare center, but it will also be available for use by Living Faith Fellowship for its various ministries, in-cluding its first Vacation Bible School.

Living Faith Fellowship invites the children of the Palouse to an evening Vacation Bible School July 23-27. The program will run from 6-8 p.m. each evening and is open to all children ages two through twelve years of age. Similar to other VBS programs, there is absolutely no cost to attend! To reg-ister a child for VBS or to obtain more information, contact Amy Ratliff at 509-334-1035. More information about PCCC and its programs can be found at www.PullmanChristianChildcare.com or by phone at 509-332-3545.

Sunnyside Preschool and Child Care’s primary goals are to provide a clean, friendly, safe, and nurturing environment where both children and parents feel happy and com-fortable. We offer a developmen-tally appropriate curriculum as well as a quality, educational preschool program. Our program will strive to meet the needs of each child at every level as well as promote self-

esteem and respect for self and oth-ers. We enroll children ages one month through ten years of age, both full and part time, including after-school and drop-in children. It will be our pleasure to serve you and your family as your child’s “Home-Away-From-Home”.

For more information please con-tact April or Sue at 509-334-9097.

Parent, family and community en-gagement is very crucial for quality early learning programs. At our center, whether providing educational servic-es, conducting home visits, or offering family support services, the partnership with parents is the basic ingredient to providing quality early childhood ser-vices. According to the Office of Head Start, “evidence demonstrates that when the partnership is strong, children form better relationships, feel good about themselves, and do better in school”.

The elements that are key to par-ent and family engagement are: pro-gram environment, family partnership, teaching and learning partnership, and community partnership. As part of our program, we develop these partnerships by involving the community in parent enrichment activities such as: car seat safety, training on green parenting, where parents learn about using items in our environment, training on activi-ties to do at home with their children, parent enrichment training for social emotional called “Circle of Security”, Kindergarten transition with Pullman schools, principals, and teachers, and a family activity at the Aquatic Center. The community partners with the par-ents by being a resource for them.

Parents have the opportunity to be involved in activities in the classroom by sharing stories and activities from their culture, reading books to the chil-dren, going on field trips.

Parent-teacher conferences are an important part of Community Child Care Center. It’s a partnership that helps to build strong bridges between the home and the center. Not only do parent-teacher conferences provide a means to present information to par-ents on how their children are doing in the classroom, it is also an opportunity for parents and teachers to exchange information. As teachers and parents develop goals for the children, they can better support children’s learning across all settings. Parents are able to give ex-amples of their interests and describe the approach the child takes to solving a problem at home. With that knowledge, teachers can individualize curriculum within the classroom.

If you are interested in a quality early learning program, Community Child Care Center offers a program for preg-nant moms, infants and toddlers (Early Head Start), a Head Start and ECEAP preschool program for children three to five years old, and child care for chil-dren one through twelve years old. Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at www.community-childcare.org.

Fritz Hughes was appointed on February 28 by Pullman City Council to the Ward 2 position vacated by C.B. “Barney” Waldrop.

What motivated you to run for of-fice? I would like to answer that ques-tion in part by quoting Winston Churchill: “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” The Pullman community and the Palouse region have provided my family and me many positive and influential experiences. Because of this, I wanted to continue to give back to the community. I have al-ways been interested in city govern-ment. Because of my professional background as a public school ad-ministrator and Director of the Pullman Chamber of Commerce, I have an understanding of council activities. The ability to work with people and see the “big picture” is the contribution I will bring to the council.In your background, what do you believe has prepared you to serve in municipal government? Most of my adult and professional life has been spent in Pullman. Of my thirty-one years in public edu-cation as a teacher and administra-tor, twenty-six of those years were in Pullman. Upon my retirement from education, I was selected to be the Executive Director of the Pullman Chamber of Commerce, a position I held for nine years before retiring in 2008. This job works very closely with the city to make Pullman a bet-

ter place to work and do business. I also have been very active and continue to be involved in many different organizations within Pull-man. I am on the Pullman Regional Hospital Foundation Board, YMCA Board, Pullman Education Founda-tion, Young Life Adult Committee, and I am an active church member. Being involved with the Pullman community through these different organizations has proven beneficial in my preparation for the city coun-cil position.What is your vision for Pullman 20 years from now? I hope I will be here to fulfill the vi-sion! I feel that Pullman continues to be in a very positive position dur-ing these difficult economic times. With partnerships among the com-munity, Washington State Universi-ty, occupants of the industrial park, and city government, I feel we are in a positive position to move forward to meet future challenges. I would like to see continued expansion of the Pullman-Moscow Airport; our community to be good stewards of our natural resources: water and farm lands, and to support the re-search to sustain these resources; a vibrant retail base; affordable housing; planned city growth with strong infrastructure; the expan-sion of parks and paths for beauty and recreation as the city grows; and continued positive growth of our public school system, city gov-ernment, police, fire, hospital and health services to provide a com-munity that is safe, and productive for all citizens.

How do you plan to be available and responsive to the Public? It is important to be visible in the community. I am an open listener and will take constituents’ com-ments and suggestions in a serious manner. I can also be reached by e-mail [email protected] I am married to Mary Mar-garet Hughes, a retired Pullman public school educator of over 26 years. We have two sons, Christo-pher, who lives in Seattle, Wash., and Peter and his wife, Molly, and our two grandchildren, Oliver and Gabriel, who live in Lancaster, Pa. I love the game of golf!Next month, meet Councilmember

Derrick Skaug, who was appointed on April 10 by Pullman City Council to the at-large position vacated by Keith Bloom.

18 Pullman Community UPDATE June 2012city of Pullman

Meet Ward 2 Councilmember Fritz HughesThe Pullman Fire Department

responds to several cottonwood fluff fires on College Hill every year. From mid-May to mid-June, cot-tonwood trees produce an extremely light fluff that floats on the slightest breeze. This fluff accumulates, like snow drifts, up to six inches or more in sheltered areas, under bushes and in tall grass. The fluff is dangerous because it collects in the same ar-eas as dead organic matter, such as dried leaves and twigs, increasing the chances of a fire. Pullman fire-fighters warn that once cottonwood fluff is ignited, it burns rapidly or “flashes.” It can spread so quickly that you do not have time to grab the garden hose because the fire is already several yards away. The situ-ation can quickly get out of control, igniting other fluff accumulations, dead leaves and twigs. The fire is so intense that larger bushes, trees or even your house can easily catch fire. Fire Prevention Officer Rich Dra-goo warns “even a dropped cigarette butt can ignite the fluff. It is very easy to catch fire. The best way to prevent fluff fires is to keep the stuff cleaned up.”

To keep fluff from accumulating, water it down and then rake up the fluff for disposal. Be careful of all types of heat sources—particularly matches, cigarettes or even cigarette ashes. This time of the year, fire dan-ger is extremely high because of the cottonwood fluff. Pullman Fire De-partment is asking residents to help “snuff out” fluff fires.

Iris FarmYou have the opportunity to see

blooming iris, some 400 varieties, right here in the Pullman area. Senior cen-ter member, Janet Mount, has offered to host our group and explain what it takes to grow such beautiful flowers. Afterward, we will have lunch at the South Fork Public House. Home pick-up begins at 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 7. We leave city hall at 10 a.m. and re-turn about 1:30 p.m. Call immediately to see if they are any slots left for this trip. Our date may change, depending on blooming season. Fee: $6 which in-cludes tour, escort and transportation. Meal cost is not included.

NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT

Noah’s Ark Foods began with an idea: Bring a real artesian organic, baked piece of fruit, season it with incredible flavor and make it ac-cessible to any type of food mar-ket. Through the last two years, NAF has done extensive research, created a start up manufacturing fa-cility and launched its initial line, the Dutch Apple Rings. With product launched in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho stores and coops, we now look forward to distribution on the west side of Washington and Oregon.

The Dutch Apple Rings are a certified Gluten Free and certi-fied USDA Organic product with a great flavor profile and long shelf. Whether it be placed in the grocery,

C-stores, vending or procurement, our product is a convenient and fit-ting for nearly any type market. Our primary intent has been to fill a void in the market place for Gluten Free

fruit snacks and in a small grab bag style package.

Noah’s Ark Foods is owned and operated by Michael and Min-dy Hicks and based in Palouse, WA. Both

owners have had expe-rience in business with a

solid foundation in opera-tions and accounting. We are

proud to help bring jobs and indus-try to the Palouse and strive to cre-ate a great tasting food products that can reach a multi-state area. Locally, you can find our products at Diss-mores IGA, Rosauers, Moscow Food Coop, and Mcleods Palouse Market.

Update Works with New Contractor

There may have been no reason for anyone to notice that the June issue of Pullman Community Update was designed by Carol Coo-per of Ccooper Services because of the seamless transition. Since the monthly newsletter’s inception in 1995, Jane Fredrickson, do-ing business as the Phrase Factory, provided full publishing support. Fredrickson retired in April.

Cooper, who serves concurrently as the Bishop Place Community Relations Director, also brings to the Update 8 years of advertising experience with the Moscow-Pullman Daily News. For additional support, she has also sub-contracted with graphic designer Hannah Crawford.
