By Kelly Sebold Speech Language Pathologist for Summit Therapy amp Health Services

As healthcare providers we often choose our career paths based on the idea that we want to help others In January of this year a patient turned the tables on that concept and generously gave her be-loved pet to my family The result is the implemen-tation of a new service at Pullman Regional Hospi-tal a program including pets called ldquoPet Partnersrdquo (formally Delta Society)

How Lily Became Part of my Family

During a routine visit with a patient in the Inten-sive Care Unit at Pullman Regional Hospital Irsquod been asked to complete an evaluation on a patient whorsquod been living alone As the patient and I were talking the subject of dogs came up It turned out she had a black standard poodle named ldquoLilyrdquo I was excited to tell her our family loved poodles and sadly we had just lost Rico our 5-year-old black standard poodle

The next day I returned to check on my patient The family informed me that their mom wanted to give Lily to our family This dog was the love of her life She said Lily had helped her remain indepen-dent and in such good health for so long She said it was meant to be that I was sent there to see her and they were hoping I would accept Lily as part of my family Tears streamed down my face I was beyond moved by their generosity excited about the pos-sibilities and so thankful for a healthy pet

How Lily Became Part of the Pullman Re-gional Family

Lily and I have completed our registration pro-cess to be Pet Partners and are working with the

support of the Pullman Regional Auxiliary Volun-teer Services Summit Therapy amp Health Services and others to coordinate a Pet Partner program Our goal is enriching the healing process through thera-py services and companion animals We get to ldquopay it forwardrdquo by combining Lilyrsquos love of people and the proven benefits of animal assisted interventions for peoplersquos emotional and physical health

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First1 Significantly more money stays in

Pullman when purchases are made at locally owned rather than na-tionally owned businesses More money stays in the community be-cause locally owned businesses pur-chase from other local businesses service providers and farms

2 Most new jobs are provided by lo-cally owned businesses Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in Pullman they provide new jobs to residents

3 Our one-of-a-kind shops and res-taurants are an integral part of our distinctive character The unique character of Pullman is what brought us here and will keep us here

4 Local business owners invest in their community Local businesses are owned by people who live lo-

cally and are more invested in the communityrsquos future

5 Customer service is more personal Pullman businesses are closer to the customer and tend to form per-sonal and lasting bonds with their customer base

6 Competition and diversity lead to more choices A multitude of small businesses each selecting products based on the needs of their local customers and not on a nation-al sales plan guarantees a much broader range of product choices

7 Local business has a lighter envi-ronmental impact Shopping in Pullman is more energy efficient requiring shorter travel distances Local businesses also make more local purchases thus reducing the overall carbon footprint of goods sold

8 Public benefits far outweigh pub-lic costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastruc-ture investment and make more efficient use of public services than most ldquobig boxrdquo stores or na-tional chains

9 Local businesses encourage in-vestment in the community A growing body of economic re-search shows that entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive char-acter

10 Non-profits receive greater sup-port Non-profit organizations receive an average 350 greater support from local business own-ers than they do from non-locally owned businesses

Pullman Community UPDATE 11November 2012 fRiendS of HoSPiCe

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

Yours trulyJeremy Briggs Roberts

For this concert cycle we are thrilled to show-case Guest Concertmas-ter Denise Dillenbeck as our featured soloist performing Prokofievrsquos powerful Violin Concerto No 1 She has toured Europe and America with the Philadelphia Orchestra and has played with the Seattle Symphony Baltimore

Denise holds a Bachelor of Music from New England Conservatory where she studied with James Buswell and a Master of Music from the University of Minnesota where she worked with Sally OrsquoReillyrsquos and then Minne-sota Orchestra concertmaster Jorja Fleezanis She was a Fellow at Aspen and has played for the Oregon Bach Fes-tival Ernest Bloch Festival Chautauqua Music Institute Musicorda Siletz Bay Music Festival the International Congress of Strings and for the Lake Chelan Bach Festival as concertmaster The San Francisco Chronicle hails her playing as ldquosimply first-raterdquo

In her spare time Denise loves to walk her dogs run practice yoga and read good books One of her recent favorites is ldquoThe Elegance of the Hedgehogrdquo by Muriel Barberry

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Sheila has built successful orchestra programs in both public and private music schools As a result of her collab-oration with local string educators Sheila founded and currently co-directs the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra at the University of Idaho Now in itrsquos 12th season the or-chestra offers an orchestral experience for the advancing string student Sheila is a former director the Greater New Haven Concert Orchestra in Connecticut and has spent 7 summers at the internationally renowned Interlochen Arts Camp conducting the Junior Orchestra Most recently she has joined the Prep Division at University of Idaho

A chamber music enthusiast Sheila enjoys per-forming in the Gaia Trio and with her colleagues on the Palouse whenever possible As a board member of the Auditorium Chamber Music Series she is responsible for organizing the annual Palouse Chamber Music Workshop for local students Sheila hopes her passion for music will inspire her students to become music devotees and sup-porters of the arts

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

If ldquoyoursquove never heard it beforerdquo because you havenrsquot attended Washington Idaho Symphony concerts then we encourage you to take ad-vantage of a civic opportunity unique to your region If yoursquove been a season ticket holder or yoursquove come to a few concerts then we hope you hear a new sound this year produced in an upsurge of enthusiasm and dedication among our talented music director and musi-cians backed by an active Board of Directors other volunteers and the financial and in-kind donors who make these concerts possible Wel-come to your community and ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

bull Meaningful efforts to embrace diversity

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

Thank you Schweitzers

In keeping with this month of Thanksgiving the city of Pullman on behalf of the Pullman commu-nity thanks Ed and Beatriz Sch-weitzer for their generous gift of $310000 for the Pullman Aquatic Center The Pullman City Council accepted the Schweitzerrsquos gift by or-dinance at their regular meeting of Sept 25

With an eye toward preserving this valuable asset the Schweitzers gave $250000 to allow necessary repairs and improvements to the center The remaining $60000 will pay for increased staff time over the course of two years so that the center opens earlier and closes later each day

Utility rates changeThe next incremental annual water and sewer

rate increase approved by council resolution in 2009 becomes effective on Nov 1 For most utility customers in terms of dollar impact the net effect to utility bills should be modest The rate increases are necessary to address ongoing operational ex-penses replacement of aging infrastructure and capital projects to meet regulatory requirements and growth needs Every effort is made to limit the financial impact to the rate payers while continu-ing to serve the citizens of Pullman with a depend-able water supply and a sewer system meeting all regulatory requirements

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

For the past three years Evermann Druffel has helped collect the names of veterans that are affili-ated with Pullman Regional Hospital for a poster display in the hospital during the month of No-vember

ldquoItrsquos a small gesture to say lsquoThank you for your servicersquordquo said Ever-mann Druffel ldquoWhen I realized that a number of our Pullman Regional Hospital family and af-filiates were currently serving or had provided service to our country I felt compelled to recognize them it was the right thing to dordquo she said

The posters list names and years of military service of hospital staff volunteers physicians

and family members and will be on display at Pullman Regional Hospital as of November 5th

Among the names listed are Evermann Druffelrsquos husband father and brothers ldquoIt is im-portant for the hospital staff and our visitors to have the opportunity to see the names of our vet-

By Kelly Sebold Speech Language Pathologist for Summit Therapy amp Health Services

As healthcare providers we often choose our career paths based on the idea that we want to help others In January of this year a patient turned the tables on that concept and generously gave her be-loved pet to my family The result is the implemen-tation of a new service at Pullman Regional Hospi-tal a program including pets called ldquoPet Partnersrdquo (formally Delta Society)

How Lily Became Part of my Family

During a routine visit with a patient in the Inten-sive Care Unit at Pullman Regional Hospital Irsquod been asked to complete an evaluation on a patient whorsquod been living alone As the patient and I were talking the subject of dogs came up It turned out she had a black standard poodle named ldquoLilyrdquo I was excited to tell her our family loved poodles and sadly we had just lost Rico our 5-year-old black standard poodle

The next day I returned to check on my patient The family informed me that their mom wanted to give Lily to our family This dog was the love of her life She said Lily had helped her remain indepen-dent and in such good health for so long She said it was meant to be that I was sent there to see her and they were hoping I would accept Lily as part of my family Tears streamed down my face I was beyond moved by their generosity excited about the pos-sibilities and so thankful for a healthy pet

How Lily Became Part of the Pullman Re-gional Family

Lily and I have completed our registration pro-cess to be Pet Partners and are working with the

support of the Pullman Regional Auxiliary Volun-teer Services Summit Therapy amp Health Services and others to coordinate a Pet Partner program Our goal is enriching the healing process through thera-py services and companion animals We get to ldquopay it forwardrdquo by combining Lilyrsquos love of people and the proven benefits of animal assisted interventions for peoplersquos emotional and physical health

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First1 Significantly more money stays in

Pullman when purchases are made at locally owned rather than na-tionally owned businesses More money stays in the community be-cause locally owned businesses pur-chase from other local businesses service providers and farms

2 Most new jobs are provided by lo-cally owned businesses Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in Pullman they provide new jobs to residents

3 Our one-of-a-kind shops and res-taurants are an integral part of our distinctive character The unique character of Pullman is what brought us here and will keep us here

4 Local business owners invest in their community Local businesses are owned by people who live lo-

cally and are more invested in the communityrsquos future

5 Customer service is more personal Pullman businesses are closer to the customer and tend to form per-sonal and lasting bonds with their customer base

6 Competition and diversity lead to more choices A multitude of small businesses each selecting products based on the needs of their local customers and not on a nation-al sales plan guarantees a much broader range of product choices

7 Local business has a lighter envi-ronmental impact Shopping in Pullman is more energy efficient requiring shorter travel distances Local businesses also make more local purchases thus reducing the overall carbon footprint of goods sold

8 Public benefits far outweigh pub-lic costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastruc-ture investment and make more efficient use of public services than most ldquobig boxrdquo stores or na-tional chains

9 Local businesses encourage in-vestment in the community A growing body of economic re-search shows that entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive char-acter

10 Non-profits receive greater sup-port Non-profit organizations receive an average 350 greater support from local business own-ers than they do from non-locally owned businesses

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

This article was written by Jessica Rivers a mem-ber of the Family Home Care and Hospice Team Jes-sica began as a hospice volunteer and now serves as the Volunteer Coordinator She is always trying to ex-pand services and opportunities for hospice patients and being an avid dog-lover she recently purchased a little shiatsu puppy she hopes to one day train for pet therapy Jessica is happy to speak about hospice and answer any questions about our complementary care programs She may be reached at (509)334-6016 or by email JessicaRiversfamilyhomecareorg

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

If ldquoyoursquove never heard it beforerdquo because you havenrsquot attended Washington Idaho Symphony concerts then we encourage you to take ad-vantage of a civic opportunity unique to your region If yoursquove been a season ticket holder or yoursquove come to a few concerts then we hope you hear a new sound this year produced in an upsurge of enthusiasm and dedication among our talented music director and musi-cians backed by an active Board of Directors other volunteers and the financial and in-kind donors who make these concerts possible Wel-come to your community and ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

By Kelly Sebold Speech Language Pathologist for Summit Therapy amp Health Services

As healthcare providers we often choose our career paths based on the idea that we want to help others In January of this year a patient turned the tables on that concept and generously gave her be-loved pet to my family The result is the implemen-tation of a new service at Pullman Regional Hospi-tal a program including pets called ldquoPet Partnersrdquo (formally Delta Society)

How Lily Became Part of my Family

During a routine visit with a patient in the Inten-sive Care Unit at Pullman Regional Hospital Irsquod been asked to complete an evaluation on a patient whorsquod been living alone As the patient and I were talking the subject of dogs came up It turned out she had a black standard poodle named ldquoLilyrdquo I was excited to tell her our family loved poodles and sadly we had just lost Rico our 5-year-old black standard poodle

The next day I returned to check on my patient The family informed me that their mom wanted to give Lily to our family This dog was the love of her life She said Lily had helped her remain indepen-dent and in such good health for so long She said it was meant to be that I was sent there to see her and they were hoping I would accept Lily as part of my family Tears streamed down my face I was beyond moved by their generosity excited about the pos-sibilities and so thankful for a healthy pet

How Lily Became Part of the Pullman Re-gional Family

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First1 Significantly more money stays in

Pullman when purchases are made at locally owned rather than na-tionally owned businesses More money stays in the community be-cause locally owned businesses pur-chase from other local businesses service providers and farms

2 Most new jobs are provided by lo-cally owned businesses Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in Pullman they provide new jobs to residents

3 Our one-of-a-kind shops and res-taurants are an integral part of our distinctive character The unique character of Pullman is what brought us here and will keep us here

4 Local business owners invest in their community Local businesses are owned by people who live lo-

cally and are more invested in the communityrsquos future

5 Customer service is more personal Pullman businesses are closer to the customer and tend to form per-sonal and lasting bonds with their customer base

6 Competition and diversity lead to more choices A multitude of small businesses each selecting products based on the needs of their local customers and not on a nation-al sales plan guarantees a much broader range of product choices

7 Local business has a lighter envi-ronmental impact Shopping in Pullman is more energy efficient requiring shorter travel distances Local businesses also make more local purchases thus reducing the overall carbon footprint of goods sold

8 Public benefits far outweigh pub-lic costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastruc-ture investment and make more efficient use of public services than most ldquobig boxrdquo stores or na-tional chains

9 Local businesses encourage in-vestment in the community A growing body of economic re-search shows that entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive char-acter

10 Non-profits receive greater sup-port Non-profit organizations receive an average 350 greater support from local business own-ers than they do from non-locally owned businesses

Pullman Community UPDATE 11November 2012 fRiendS of HoSPiCe

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

This article was written by Jessica Rivers a mem-ber of the Family Home Care and Hospice Team Jes-sica began as a hospice volunteer and now serves as the Volunteer Coordinator She is always trying to ex-pand services and opportunities for hospice patients and being an avid dog-lover she recently purchased a little shiatsu puppy she hopes to one day train for pet therapy Jessica is happy to speak about hospice and answer any questions about our complementary care programs She may be reached at (509)334-6016 or by email JessicaRiversfamilyhomecareorg

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

bull Meaningful efforts to embrace diversity

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

Thank you Schweitzers

In keeping with this month of Thanksgiving the city of Pullman on behalf of the Pullman commu-nity thanks Ed and Beatriz Sch-weitzer for their generous gift of $310000 for the Pullman Aquatic Center The Pullman City Council accepted the Schweitzerrsquos gift by or-dinance at their regular meeting of Sept 25

With an eye toward preserving this valuable asset the Schweitzers gave $250000 to allow necessary repairs and improvements to the center The remaining $60000 will pay for increased staff time over the course of two years so that the center opens earlier and closes later each day

2013 budget hearings set for November

Public hearings on the proposed 2013 city budget will be held at 730 pm during a special city council meeting on Monday Nov 5 and during a regu-lar meeting on Tuesday Nov 13 in the city council chambers The public is wel-come and encouraged to attend

Utility rates changeThe next incremental annual water and sewer

rate increase approved by council resolution in 2009 becomes effective on Nov 1 For most utility customers in terms of dollar impact the net effect to utility bills should be modest The rate increases are necessary to address ongoing operational ex-penses replacement of aging infrastructure and capital projects to meet regulatory requirements and growth needs Every effort is made to limit the financial impact to the rate payers while continu-ing to serve the citizens of Pullman with a depend-able water supply and a sewer system meeting all regulatory requirements

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

QUESTIONS Birgitta Ingemanson (509) 332-3002

By Kelly Sebold Speech Language Pathologist for Summit Therapy amp Health Services

As healthcare providers we often choose our career paths based on the idea that we want to help others In January of this year a patient turned the tables on that concept and generously gave her be-loved pet to my family The result is the implemen-tation of a new service at Pullman Regional Hospi-tal a program including pets called ldquoPet Partnersrdquo (formally Delta Society)

How Lily Became Part of my Family

During a routine visit with a patient in the Inten-sive Care Unit at Pullman Regional Hospital Irsquod been asked to complete an evaluation on a patient whorsquod been living alone As the patient and I were talking the subject of dogs came up It turned out she had a black standard poodle named ldquoLilyrdquo I was excited to tell her our family loved poodles and sadly we had just lost Rico our 5-year-old black standard poodle

The next day I returned to check on my patient The family informed me that their mom wanted to give Lily to our family This dog was the love of her life She said Lily had helped her remain indepen-dent and in such good health for so long She said it was meant to be that I was sent there to see her and they were hoping I would accept Lily as part of my family Tears streamed down my face I was beyond moved by their generosity excited about the pos-sibilities and so thankful for a healthy pet

How Lily Became Part of the Pullman Re-gional Family

Lily and I have completed our registration pro-cess to be Pet Partners and are working with the

support of the Pullman Regional Auxiliary Volun-teer Services Summit Therapy amp Health Services and others to coordinate a Pet Partner program Our goal is enriching the healing process through thera-py services and companion animals We get to ldquopay it forwardrdquo by combining Lilyrsquos love of people and the proven benefits of animal assisted interventions for peoplersquos emotional and physical health

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First1 Significantly more money stays in

Pullman when purchases are made at locally owned rather than na-tionally owned businesses More money stays in the community be-cause locally owned businesses pur-chase from other local businesses service providers and farms

2 Most new jobs are provided by lo-cally owned businesses Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in Pullman they provide new jobs to residents

3 Our one-of-a-kind shops and res-taurants are an integral part of our distinctive character The unique character of Pullman is what brought us here and will keep us here

4 Local business owners invest in their community Local businesses are owned by people who live lo-

cally and are more invested in the communityrsquos future

5 Customer service is more personal Pullman businesses are closer to the customer and tend to form per-sonal and lasting bonds with their customer base

6 Competition and diversity lead to more choices A multitude of small businesses each selecting products based on the needs of their local customers and not on a nation-al sales plan guarantees a much broader range of product choices

7 Local business has a lighter envi-ronmental impact Shopping in Pullman is more energy efficient requiring shorter travel distances Local businesses also make more local purchases thus reducing the overall carbon footprint of goods sold

8 Public benefits far outweigh pub-lic costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastruc-ture investment and make more efficient use of public services than most ldquobig boxrdquo stores or na-tional chains

9 Local businesses encourage in-vestment in the community A growing body of economic re-search shows that entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive char-acter

10 Non-profits receive greater sup-port Non-profit organizations receive an average 350 greater support from local business own-ers than they do from non-locally owned businesses

Pullman Community UPDATE 11November 2012 fRiendS of HoSPiCe

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

This article was written by Jessica Rivers a mem-ber of the Family Home Care and Hospice Team Jes-sica began as a hospice volunteer and now serves as the Volunteer Coordinator She is always trying to ex-pand services and opportunities for hospice patients and being an avid dog-lover she recently purchased a little shiatsu puppy she hopes to one day train for pet therapy Jessica is happy to speak about hospice and answer any questions about our complementary care programs She may be reached at (509)334-6016 or by email JessicaRiversfamilyhomecareorg

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

By Kelly Sebold Speech Language Pathologist for Summit Therapy amp Health Services

As healthcare providers we often choose our career paths based on the idea that we want to help others In January of this year a patient turned the tables on that concept and generously gave her be-loved pet to my family The result is the implemen-tation of a new service at Pullman Regional Hospi-tal a program including pets called ldquoPet Partnersrdquo (formally Delta Society)

How Lily Became Part of my Family

During a routine visit with a patient in the Inten-sive Care Unit at Pullman Regional Hospital Irsquod been asked to complete an evaluation on a patient whorsquod been living alone As the patient and I were talking the subject of dogs came up It turned out she had a black standard poodle named ldquoLilyrdquo I was excited to tell her our family loved poodles and sadly we had just lost Rico our 5-year-old black standard poodle

The next day I returned to check on my patient The family informed me that their mom wanted to give Lily to our family This dog was the love of her life She said Lily had helped her remain indepen-dent and in such good health for so long She said it was meant to be that I was sent there to see her and they were hoping I would accept Lily as part of my family Tears streamed down my face I was beyond moved by their generosity excited about the pos-sibilities and so thankful for a healthy pet

How Lily Became Part of the Pullman Re-gional Family

Lily and I have completed our registration pro-cess to be Pet Partners and are working with the

support of the Pullman Regional Auxiliary Volun-teer Services Summit Therapy amp Health Services and others to coordinate a Pet Partner program Our goal is enriching the healing process through thera-py services and companion animals We get to ldquopay it forwardrdquo by combining Lilyrsquos love of people and the proven benefits of animal assisted interventions for peoplersquos emotional and physical health

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First1 Significantly more money stays in

Pullman when purchases are made at locally owned rather than na-tionally owned businesses More money stays in the community be-cause locally owned businesses pur-chase from other local businesses service providers and farms

2 Most new jobs are provided by lo-cally owned businesses Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in Pullman they provide new jobs to residents

3 Our one-of-a-kind shops and res-taurants are an integral part of our distinctive character The unique character of Pullman is what brought us here and will keep us here

4 Local business owners invest in their community Local businesses are owned by people who live lo-

cally and are more invested in the communityrsquos future

5 Customer service is more personal Pullman businesses are closer to the customer and tend to form per-sonal and lasting bonds with their customer base

6 Competition and diversity lead to more choices A multitude of small businesses each selecting products based on the needs of their local customers and not on a nation-al sales plan guarantees a much broader range of product choices

7 Local business has a lighter envi-ronmental impact Shopping in Pullman is more energy efficient requiring shorter travel distances Local businesses also make more local purchases thus reducing the overall carbon footprint of goods sold

8 Public benefits far outweigh pub-lic costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastruc-ture investment and make more efficient use of public services than most ldquobig boxrdquo stores or na-tional chains

9 Local businesses encourage in-vestment in the community A growing body of economic re-search shows that entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive char-acter

10 Non-profits receive greater sup-port Non-profit organizations receive an average 350 greater support from local business own-ers than they do from non-locally owned businesses

Now that your oil change is done gas tank is full and your car cleaned you might be headed to a Cougar Tail-gate Our store offers a wide

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

Yours trulyJeremy Briggs Roberts

In her spare time Denise loves to walk her dogs run practice yoga and read good books One of her recent favorites is ldquoThe Elegance of the Hedgehogrdquo by Muriel Barberry

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Sheila has built successful orchestra programs in both public and private music schools As a result of her collab-oration with local string educators Sheila founded and currently co-directs the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra at the University of Idaho Now in itrsquos 12th season the or-chestra offers an orchestral experience for the advancing string student Sheila is a former director the Greater New Haven Concert Orchestra in Connecticut and has spent 7 summers at the internationally renowned Interlochen Arts Camp conducting the Junior Orchestra Most recently she has joined the Prep Division at University of Idaho

A chamber music enthusiast Sheila enjoys per-forming in the Gaia Trio and with her colleagues on the Palouse whenever possible As a board member of the Auditorium Chamber Music Series she is responsible for organizing the annual Palouse Chamber Music Workshop for local students Sheila hopes her passion for music will inspire her students to become music devotees and sup-porters of the arts

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

If ldquoyoursquove never heard it beforerdquo because you havenrsquot attended Washington Idaho Symphony concerts then we encourage you to take ad-vantage of a civic opportunity unique to your region If yoursquove been a season ticket holder or yoursquove come to a few concerts then we hope you hear a new sound this year produced in an upsurge of enthusiasm and dedication among our talented music director and musi-cians backed by an active Board of Directors other volunteers and the financial and in-kind donors who make these concerts possible Wel-come to your community and ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First

10 Reasons to Shop

Pullman First1 Significantly more money stays in

Pullman when purchases are made at locally owned rather than na-tionally owned businesses More money stays in the community be-cause locally owned businesses pur-chase from other local businesses service providers and farms

2 Most new jobs are provided by lo-cally owned businesses Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in Pullman they provide new jobs to residents

3 Our one-of-a-kind shops and res-taurants are an integral part of our distinctive character The unique character of Pullman is what brought us here and will keep us here

4 Local business owners invest in their community Local businesses are owned by people who live lo-

cally and are more invested in the communityrsquos future

5 Customer service is more personal Pullman businesses are closer to the customer and tend to form per-sonal and lasting bonds with their customer base

6 Competition and diversity lead to more choices A multitude of small businesses each selecting products based on the needs of their local customers and not on a nation-al sales plan guarantees a much broader range of product choices

7 Local business has a lighter envi-ronmental impact Shopping in Pullman is more energy efficient requiring shorter travel distances Local businesses also make more local purchases thus reducing the overall carbon footprint of goods sold

8 Public benefits far outweigh pub-lic costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastruc-ture investment and make more efficient use of public services than most ldquobig boxrdquo stores or na-tional chains

9 Local businesses encourage in-vestment in the community A growing body of economic re-search shows that entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive char-acter

10 Non-profits receive greater sup-port Non-profit organizations receive an average 350 greater support from local business own-ers than they do from non-locally owned businesses

Pullman Community UPDATE 11November 2012 fRiendS of HoSPiCe

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

This article was written by Jessica Rivers a mem-ber of the Family Home Care and Hospice Team Jes-sica began as a hospice volunteer and now serves as the Volunteer Coordinator She is always trying to ex-pand services and opportunities for hospice patients and being an avid dog-lover she recently purchased a little shiatsu puppy she hopes to one day train for pet therapy Jessica is happy to speak about hospice and answer any questions about our complementary care programs She may be reached at (509)334-6016 or by email JessicaRiversfamilyhomecareorg

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

Thank you Schweitzers

In keeping with this month of Thanksgiving the city of Pullman on behalf of the Pullman commu-nity thanks Ed and Beatriz Sch-weitzer for their generous gift of $310000 for the Pullman Aquatic Center The Pullman City Council accepted the Schweitzerrsquos gift by or-dinance at their regular meeting of Sept 25

With an eye toward preserving this valuable asset the Schweitzers gave $250000 to allow necessary repairs and improvements to the center The remaining $60000 will pay for increased staff time over the course of two years so that the center opens earlier and closes later each day

2013 budget hearings set for November

Public hearings on the proposed 2013 city budget will be held at 730 pm during a special city council meeting on Monday Nov 5 and during a regu-lar meeting on Tuesday Nov 13 in the city council chambers The public is wel-come and encouraged to attend

Utility rates changeThe next incremental annual water and sewer

rate increase approved by council resolution in 2009 becomes effective on Nov 1 For most utility customers in terms of dollar impact the net effect to utility bills should be modest The rate increases are necessary to address ongoing operational ex-penses replacement of aging infrastructure and capital projects to meet regulatory requirements and growth needs Every effort is made to limit the financial impact to the rate payers while continu-ing to serve the citizens of Pullman with a depend-able water supply and a sewer system meeting all regulatory requirements

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

as a FREE beverage from our store while you wait The bever-age can be anything from an espresso to a fountain drink

You may have just gotten your oil change at our Sunset Super Lube and now want to use your free car wash Our Touch Less Car Wash is also on the same lot and does a wonderful job Our maintenance staff looks at the car wash every day to en-sure it gives the best possible wash it can We offer four differ-

ent washes starting with the most popular Works wash down to the Basic wash You can conveniently buy a car wash while getting fuel or while you are inside the store getting a snack and beverage

Now that your oil change is done gas tank is full and your car cleaned you might be headed to a Cougar Tail-gate Our store offers a wide

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

Yours trulyJeremy Briggs Roberts

In her spare time Denise loves to walk her dogs run practice yoga and read good books One of her recent favorites is ldquoThe Elegance of the Hedgehogrdquo by Muriel Barberry

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Sheila has built successful orchestra programs in both public and private music schools As a result of her collab-oration with local string educators Sheila founded and currently co-directs the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra at the University of Idaho Now in itrsquos 12th season the or-chestra offers an orchestral experience for the advancing string student Sheila is a former director the Greater New Haven Concert Orchestra in Connecticut and has spent 7 summers at the internationally renowned Interlochen Arts Camp conducting the Junior Orchestra Most recently she has joined the Prep Division at University of Idaho

A chamber music enthusiast Sheila enjoys per-forming in the Gaia Trio and with her colleagues on the Palouse whenever possible As a board member of the Auditorium Chamber Music Series she is responsible for organizing the annual Palouse Chamber Music Workshop for local students Sheila hopes her passion for music will inspire her students to become music devotees and sup-porters of the arts

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

If ldquoyoursquove never heard it beforerdquo because you havenrsquot attended Washington Idaho Symphony concerts then we encourage you to take ad-vantage of a civic opportunity unique to your region If yoursquove been a season ticket holder or yoursquove come to a few concerts then we hope you hear a new sound this year produced in an upsurge of enthusiasm and dedication among our talented music director and musi-cians backed by an active Board of Directors other volunteers and the financial and in-kind donors who make these concerts possible Wel-come to your community and ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 11November 2012 fRiendS of HoSPiCe

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

This article was written by Jessica Rivers a mem-ber of the Family Home Care and Hospice Team Jes-sica began as a hospice volunteer and now serves as the Volunteer Coordinator She is always trying to ex-pand services and opportunities for hospice patients and being an avid dog-lover she recently purchased a little shiatsu puppy she hopes to one day train for pet therapy Jessica is happy to speak about hospice and answer any questions about our complementary care programs She may be reached at (509)334-6016 or by email JessicaRiversfamilyhomecareorg

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 11November 2012 fRiendS of HoSPiCe

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

This article was written by Jessica Rivers a mem-ber of the Family Home Care and Hospice Team Jes-sica began as a hospice volunteer and now serves as the Volunteer Coordinator She is always trying to ex-pand services and opportunities for hospice patients and being an avid dog-lover she recently purchased a little shiatsu puppy she hopes to one day train for pet therapy Jessica is happy to speak about hospice and answer any questions about our complementary care programs She may be reached at (509)334-6016 or by email JessicaRiversfamilyhomecareorg

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

Thank you Schweitzers

In keeping with this month of Thanksgiving the city of Pullman on behalf of the Pullman commu-nity thanks Ed and Beatriz Sch-weitzer for their generous gift of $310000 for the Pullman Aquatic Center The Pullman City Council accepted the Schweitzerrsquos gift by or-dinance at their regular meeting of Sept 25

With an eye toward preserving this valuable asset the Schweitzers gave $250000 to allow necessary repairs and improvements to the center The remaining $60000 will pay for increased staff time over the course of two years so that the center opens earlier and closes later each day

2013 budget hearings set for November

Public hearings on the proposed 2013 city budget will be held at 730 pm during a special city council meeting on Monday Nov 5 and during a regu-lar meeting on Tuesday Nov 13 in the city council chambers The public is wel-come and encouraged to attend

Utility rates changeThe next incremental annual water and sewer

rate increase approved by council resolution in 2009 becomes effective on Nov 1 For most utility customers in terms of dollar impact the net effect to utility bills should be modest The rate increases are necessary to address ongoing operational ex-penses replacement of aging infrastructure and capital projects to meet regulatory requirements and growth needs Every effort is made to limit the financial impact to the rate payers while continu-ing to serve the citizens of Pullman with a depend-able water supply and a sewer system meeting all regulatory requirements

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 11November 2012 fRiendS of HoSPiCe

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

This article was written by Jessica Rivers a mem-ber of the Family Home Care and Hospice Team Jes-sica began as a hospice volunteer and now serves as the Volunteer Coordinator She is always trying to ex-pand services and opportunities for hospice patients and being an avid dog-lover she recently purchased a little shiatsu puppy she hopes to one day train for pet therapy Jessica is happy to speak about hospice and answer any questions about our complementary care programs She may be reached at (509)334-6016 or by email JessicaRiversfamilyhomecareorg

Enrich your life and satisfy your soul Experience the new sound of the Washington Idaho Symphony Chal-lenge yourself to Live Life Live

Irsquom looking forward to seeing you in the audience

Yours trulyJeremy Briggs Roberts

For this concert cycle we are thrilled to show-case Guest Concertmas-ter Denise Dillenbeck as our featured soloist performing Prokofievrsquos powerful Violin Concerto No 1 She has toured Europe and America with the Philadelphia Orchestra and has played with the Seattle Symphony Baltimore

Symphony Pennsylvania Ballet Theater Philly Pops and many other orchestras across the US As a member of the Oregon Symphony she was a featured soloist for several concerts She was associate concertmaster of the Tacoma Symphony and has served as concertmaster for orchestras across the states and in England She is a new member of Central Washington Universityrsquos Kairos String Quartet and also formed the Areteacute Trio with Oregon Symphony principal cellist Nancy Ives and pianist John Pickett She and her husband Mark Goodenberger also play chamber music for violin and percussion She has recorded solo and chamber works for the Albion and KOCH International labels

Denise holds a Bachelor of Music from New England Conservatory where she studied with James Buswell and a Master of Music from the University of Minnesota where she worked with Sally OrsquoReillyrsquos and then Minne-sota Orchestra concertmaster Jorja Fleezanis She was a Fellow at Aspen and has played for the Oregon Bach Fes-tival Ernest Bloch Festival Chautauqua Music Institute Musicorda Siletz Bay Music Festival the International Congress of Strings and for the Lake Chelan Bach Festival as concertmaster The San Francisco Chronicle hails her playing as ldquosimply first-raterdquo

In her spare time Denise loves to walk her dogs run practice yoga and read good books One of her recent favorites is ldquoThe Elegance of the Hedgehogrdquo by Muriel Barberry

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Sheila has built successful orchestra programs in both public and private music schools As a result of her collab-oration with local string educators Sheila founded and currently co-directs the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra at the University of Idaho Now in itrsquos 12th season the or-chestra offers an orchestral experience for the advancing string student Sheila is a former director the Greater New Haven Concert Orchestra in Connecticut and has spent 7 summers at the internationally renowned Interlochen Arts Camp conducting the Junior Orchestra Most recently she has joined the Prep Division at University of Idaho

A chamber music enthusiast Sheila enjoys per-forming in the Gaia Trio and with her colleagues on the Palouse whenever possible As a board member of the Auditorium Chamber Music Series she is responsible for organizing the annual Palouse Chamber Music Workshop for local students Sheila hopes her passion for music will inspire her students to become music devotees and sup-porters of the arts

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

If ldquoyoursquove never heard it beforerdquo because you havenrsquot attended Washington Idaho Symphony concerts then we encourage you to take ad-vantage of a civic opportunity unique to your region If yoursquove been a season ticket holder or yoursquove come to a few concerts then we hope you hear a new sound this year produced in an upsurge of enthusiasm and dedication among our talented music director and musi-cians backed by an active Board of Directors other volunteers and the financial and in-kind donors who make these concerts possible Wel-come to your community and ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 11November 2012 fRiendS of HoSPiCe

As the sole provider of hospice care in Whit-man County it is comforting to know that Family Home Care and Hospice offers an impressive selec-tion of complementary care programs thanks to the Friends of Hospice and the financial support of their donors Working in partnership Family Home Care and Hospice (FHC) and the Friends of Hospice (FOH) have been able to build a phenomenal team of Volunteers and complementary care programs that few other hospices can offer to their patients These programs include

Patient Care VolunteersHospice Volunteers travel throughout the county

to visit patients in their homes These Volunteers provide companionship for patients and respite for family members They help ease the stress of care giving and provide emotional social and spiritual support to both patients and their families While every hospice program must utilize Volunteers not every program has Volunteers trained to this level Our Volunteers have completed over 23 hours of in-tense training to be able to bring various skills and creative tools to the hospice patient and families Most importantly they provide a calm and reassur-ing presence at the end-of-life offering a genuine care and concern for both patient and family They are vital team members in any highly effective hos-pice program and sometimes our most appreciated and utilized team member

Spiritual Team VolunteersFHC is proud to boast that not only do we have

a paid Chaplain on our Team but we (and our pa-tients) are served by four additional Volunteer Chaplains located throughout the county While not everyone is religious we do know that spirituality can be a major focus at the end of life Our Chap-lains are proficient in many religious denominations but more importantly they are fully prepared and comfortable engaging with the patient and family in whatever belief system the patient and family expresses including atheist and agnostics and even those of us who havenrsquot a clue Spirituality is defined by our group as ldquothat which gives meaning to onersquos liferdquo Our Spiritual Team can offer last rites or simply sit and contemplate the cosmos of the universe As always is the case with hospice care the patient and family get to direct their own plan of care including how to best address spiritual support

Music VolunteersMost people listening to music can be a calm

and relaxing experience Music helps listeners to reminisce sometimes evoking emotions that help connect the listener with their deeper self Music can also be an important distraction from physical

pain Family Home Care and Hospice is lucky to have four very kind interesting and talented musicians who donate their time and talents to play music for our patients From a concert harp to a mountain dulcimer we have a variety of music and musicians to accommodate many tastes Whether it be a sing along at the local nursing home or a private perfor-mance at the bedside these musicians are bringing joy and comfort to those who listen

Living LegacyLiving Legacy is a service that allows the patient

to reflect on his or her life experiences through shar-ing some of their stories and memories for recording This is captured on audio CD leaving a legacy for family and friends Each patient can approach the in-terview in their own unique waymdasheither using the time to say what they wish to say about their life or responding to questions from the interviewer Some use the recording to express to others in their life their love and affection communicating gratitude hopes dreams and forgiveness This is one of the newer complementary care programs (funded fully by the Friends of Hospice) that has excited our patients and their families Patients often ask if the Inter-viewer can return as they often find they have more wisdom they would like to impart on their loved ones

Massage TherapyHospice explores many avenues for pain relief

One very effective method can be a special kind of massage also known as healing touch Unlike tradi-tional massage therapy that can sometimes leave you feeling sore hospice massage therapy is a gentle form of physical touch that can be very soothing to those receiving it It can provide hours of pain relief and reduce anxiety Hospice patients who utilize massage therapy often report it is one of the favorite activities of their day Our massage therapist uses an integra-tive therapy approach to help calm and restore the balance of the body-mind-spirit matrix She has been practicing massage and bodywork therapy since 1999 and we are grateful to have her serving our patients (and they are too) Once again massage therapy in Whitman County is fully funded by the Friends of Hospice

Irsquom looking forward to seeing you in the audience

Yours trulyJeremy Briggs Roberts

For this concert cycle we are thrilled to show-case Guest Concertmas-ter Denise Dillenbeck as our featured soloist performing Prokofievrsquos powerful Violin Concerto No 1 She has toured Europe and America with the Philadelphia Orchestra and has played with the Seattle Symphony Baltimore

In her spare time Denise loves to walk her dogs run practice yoga and read good books One of her recent favorites is ldquoThe Elegance of the Hedgehogrdquo by Muriel Barberry

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Sheila has built successful orchestra programs in both public and private music schools As a result of her collab-oration with local string educators Sheila founded and currently co-directs the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra at the University of Idaho Now in itrsquos 12th season the or-chestra offers an orchestral experience for the advancing string student Sheila is a former director the Greater New Haven Concert Orchestra in Connecticut and has spent 7 summers at the internationally renowned Interlochen Arts Camp conducting the Junior Orchestra Most recently she has joined the Prep Division at University of Idaho

A chamber music enthusiast Sheila enjoys per-forming in the Gaia Trio and with her colleagues on the Palouse whenever possible As a board member of the Auditorium Chamber Music Series she is responsible for organizing the annual Palouse Chamber Music Workshop for local students Sheila hopes her passion for music will inspire her students to become music devotees and sup-porters of the arts

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

If ldquoyoursquove never heard it beforerdquo because you havenrsquot attended Washington Idaho Symphony concerts then we encourage you to take ad-vantage of a civic opportunity unique to your region If yoursquove been a season ticket holder or yoursquove come to a few concerts then we hope you hear a new sound this year produced in an upsurge of enthusiasm and dedication among our talented music director and musi-cians backed by an active Board of Directors other volunteers and the financial and in-kind donors who make these concerts possible Wel-come to your community and ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Dear Friends

I cannot tell you how excited I am about our upcoming program on November 3rd and 4th We are featuring one of the greatest symphonies of ALL time Dvořaacutekrsquos powerful ldquoNew Worldrdquo Symphony a work in-spired by his journey to America in the 1890s Also to be performed is Prokofievrsquos pyrotechnic First Vio-lin Concerto with our incredible new Guest Concertmas-ter Denise Dillenbeck Denise is a technical and musical tour de force who will bring the house down with her inspirational musical mastery Rocking your world is not something I say lightly about this program You are going to be blown away by what you hear

Enrich your life and satisfy your soul Experience the new sound of the Washington Idaho Symphony Chal-lenge yourself to Live Life Live

Irsquom looking forward to seeing you in the audience

Yours trulyJeremy Briggs Roberts

For this concert cycle we are thrilled to show-case Guest Concertmas-ter Denise Dillenbeck as our featured soloist performing Prokofievrsquos powerful Violin Concerto No 1 She has toured Europe and America with the Philadelphia Orchestra and has played with the Seattle Symphony Baltimore

Symphony Pennsylvania Ballet Theater Philly Pops and many other orchestras across the US As a member of the Oregon Symphony she was a featured soloist for several concerts She was associate concertmaster of the Tacoma Symphony and has served as concertmaster for orchestras across the states and in England She is a new member of Central Washington Universityrsquos Kairos String Quartet and also formed the Areteacute Trio with Oregon Symphony principal cellist Nancy Ives and pianist John Pickett She and her husband Mark Goodenberger also play chamber music for violin and percussion She has recorded solo and chamber works for the Albion and KOCH International labels

Denise holds a Bachelor of Music from New England Conservatory where she studied with James Buswell and a Master of Music from the University of Minnesota where she worked with Sally OrsquoReillyrsquos and then Minne-sota Orchestra concertmaster Jorja Fleezanis She was a Fellow at Aspen and has played for the Oregon Bach Fes-tival Ernest Bloch Festival Chautauqua Music Institute Musicorda Siletz Bay Music Festival the International Congress of Strings and for the Lake Chelan Bach Festival as concertmaster The San Francisco Chronicle hails her playing as ldquosimply first-raterdquo

In her spare time Denise loves to walk her dogs run practice yoga and read good books One of her recent favorites is ldquoThe Elegance of the Hedgehogrdquo by Muriel Barberry

For the month of No-vember we are proud to feature symphony mem-ber Sheila Kilcoyne cellist She is founder and co-conductor of the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra and as a mem-ber of the faculty for the newly formed University of Idaho Lionel Hampton School of Musicrsquos Prepa-ratory Division she plays

an integral role in music education throughout our re-gion We are proud to present several of her students in performance this Saturday November 3 2012

Sheila Kilcoyne is starting her 13th season as a mem-ber of the cello section in the Washington-Idaho Sym-phony A native of the Finger Lake Region of New York she received all her early training on cello from the public schools and that experience lead her to become a com-mitted music educator as well a performer After earning a BM at Ithaca College and a MM at the University of Colorado she continued her cello studies with Jennifer Langham Nathaniel Rosen Robert Gardner and Hans Joslashrgen Jensen among others Sheila has been a member of Colorado Springs Symphony Denver Chamber Orchestra and South Bend Symphony

Sheila has built successful orchestra programs in both public and private music schools As a result of her collab-oration with local string educators Sheila founded and currently co-directs the Greater Palouse Youth Orchestra at the University of Idaho Now in itrsquos 12th season the or-chestra offers an orchestral experience for the advancing string student Sheila is a former director the Greater New Haven Concert Orchestra in Connecticut and has spent 7 summers at the internationally renowned Interlochen Arts Camp conducting the Junior Orchestra Most recently she has joined the Prep Division at University of Idaho

A chamber music enthusiast Sheila enjoys per-forming in the Gaia Trio and with her colleagues on the Palouse whenever possible As a board member of the Auditorium Chamber Music Series she is responsible for organizing the annual Palouse Chamber Music Workshop for local students Sheila hopes her passion for music will inspire her students to become music devotees and sup-porters of the arts

Recently someone said to me ldquorsquoYourrsquo sym-phony is doing a lot of advertising this yearrdquo She was tossing back at me our current slo-gan ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo It identifies the Washington Idaho Symphony as belonging not just to those of us closely involved but to all of ldquoyourdquo as citizens of communities we have entertained proudly for over forty yearsmdashPullman Moscow Clarkston and Lewiston ldquoYour symphonyrdquo includes not only the Music Director and musicians in the orchestra or those in our current audiences and on our mailing lists It also includes people who choose our communities for their quality of life Businesses locate here their employees move here parents raise their children here seniors retire here and students study here in part because of all the varied opportunities for community involvement cultural and historical understanding and personal growth offered not only through our institutions of higher edu-

cation but also through local arts and perform-ing arts activities Parents who bring new fresh-men to Pullman from the west side and see our Symphony booth at the Lentil Festival often are surprised ldquoPullman has a symphonyrdquo they ex-claim ldquoIrsquoll give the season schedule to my sonrdquo

If ldquoyoursquove never heard it beforerdquo because you havenrsquot attended Washington Idaho Symphony concerts then we encourage you to take ad-vantage of a civic opportunity unique to your region If yoursquove been a season ticket holder or yoursquove come to a few concerts then we hope you hear a new sound this year produced in an upsurge of enthusiasm and dedication among our talented music director and musi-cians backed by an active Board of Directors other volunteers and the financial and in-kind donors who make these concerts possible Wel-come to your community and ldquoYour Symphony as yoursquove never heard it beforerdquo

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

For more information about the Kinder-Connections program or other TLC childcare classes email directorpullmanlearning-centercom

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Choosing child care is an important de-cision Families deserve to know that their children are in quality care environments that foster a love of learning promote each childrsquos unique skills and cultures and support the development of the whole child Early Achievers helps identify programs that have

bull Nurturing and supportive relationships between adults and children

bull Care and education that meets each studentrsquos individual needs

bull Facilities that are safe well-organized and have age-appropriate resources

bull Programs that support the development of the whole child

bull Open communication and genuine engagement with families

18 Pullman Community UPDATE November 2012PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District complies with all federal and state rules and regulations and does not discriminate on the basis of race creed religion color national origin age veter-ans or military status sex sexual orientation gender expres-sion or identity or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal and provides equal access to designated youth groups

The following employee has been designated to handle questions and complaints of alleged discrimination Susana Reyes Assistant Superintendent Pullman School District Ad-ministrative Offices 240 SE Dexter Street Pullman WA 99163 5093323144 Applicants with disabilities may request reason-able accommodations in the application process by contact-ing the Personnel Coordinator at (509) 332-3584

Now in its fifteenth year the PEF Teacher Grants Program provides funds to Pullman School District teachers for projects that are not normally supported by school budgets or other sources Proposals are reviewed according to the following criteria impact on students number of students served cre-ativity andor originality and long-term use Grants awarded for the 2011-12 school year funded a high-tech classroom response system race car kits drums world history graphic texts white boards and more

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

The weekly curriculum in the KinderCon-nections program provides for a mix of small group instruction in all subject areas as well as center-based play The teachers understand that developing social skills through creative play is an important part of the childrenrsquos early education Music and art are integrated within each unit covered and creativity is encouraged

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

CCCC is accredited by National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and fol-low best practices for preschool children To aid in the develop-ment of school readiness skills and to support children towards devel-oping the skills knowledge and attitudes necessary for success in school we consistently 1) provide high quality staff that have on-going professional development 2) Use Creative Curriculum as a foundation to create our classroom lessons plans which is researched based 3) have onndashgoing child ob-servation and assessment using the Teaching Strategies Gold as-sessment tool which encompasses all learning domains 4) recognize that parents are the primary teach-ers in their young childrsquos life and 5) CCCC partners closely with both Pullman and Colfax School Districts to ensure that provision of specialized services are received for children with disabilities

Parent involvement is empha-sized as parents are encouraged to become involved and stay involved in their childrsquos educational process Parents and teachers discuss and work together to create a school readiness plan with specific learn-ing goals that are individualized for each child

If you are interested in a quality early learning program and invest-ing in your childrsquos future Commu-nity Child Care Center offers free programs including Early Head Start (for pregnant moms infants and toddlers) Head Start and ECEAP preschool programs for children 3 ndash 5 years old (for quali-fying families) and tuition based child care for children 1 ndash 12 years old Call (509) 334-9290 or visit our website at wwwcommunity-childcareorg

Quality early learning helps children succeed in school and beyond Early Achievers is a new program that connects families to child care and early learn-ing programs with the help of an easy-to-understand rating system Early Achievers also offers coaching and resources for child care providers to support each childrsquos learning and development Research shows that this kind of assistance helps providers improve the quality of their programs And when more young children are ready for school we all benefit

Early Achievers is a key strategy in Washingtonrsquos Statewide Early Learning Plan to improve the quality of child care and early learning programs The infor-

mation from Early Achievers will allow DEL to make the most of its programs and servicesmdashsuch as pre-school licensing and professional developmentmdashby targeting investments in training and technical assistance In partnership with the Washington State Child Care Resource and Referral Network and the University of Washington DEL is working to ex-pand the number of providers participating in Early Achievers across the state Beginning in 2012 ratings for participating programs will be available through DELrsquos website wwwdelwagov

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 17November 2012 CHild CARe AWARe of eASteRn WASHington

The Learning Center located in the Gladish Community Center offers childcare for children ages one month through age 12 The center oc-cupies nearly 9000 square feet and is open year round 7am ndash 6pm Remodeling of the center began three months ago and is still in progress One of the features of the new remodel has in-cluded an expanded pre-kkindergarten pro-gram for 4-6 year old children The expanded kindergarten program features two bright class-rooms filled with newly purchased furniture hands-on centers for exploration in sensory sci-ence life skills math literacy art and music The classrooms also provide a specialized quiet room for children who benefit from naps in the after-noon Transportation is provided to and from the Pullman School District elementary schools

Sara Zielinski and Allison Davis co-teach the KinderConnections program and are pas-sionate about education Both teachers hold Masterrsquos degrees in education and are dedicat-ed to the success of their students The teachers have created pacing charts based on the Wash-ington state kindergarten grade level expecta-

tions as a basis for their instruction and also as a tool for track their studentrsquos progress but they are also very focused on instilling a love of learning within their classrooms Activities are engaging hands-on and carefully planned to meet the needs of each individual student in the program Class size is kept small to insure that instruction can be differentiated with lots of one-on-one attention The classes regularly participate in community field trips related to their units of study

PROVIDING A FOUNDA-TION FOR SCHOOL READI-NESSmdashCommunity Child Care Center (CCCC) maintains a holis-tic view towards child development and promoting school readiness skills School readiness refers to the extent to which a child exhibits the behaviors skills and knowledge necessary to be successful in el-ementary school CCCC provides a secure foundation for infants ndash pre-schoolers by providing early con-tinuous intensive and comprehen-sive child development and family support services that enhances the physical social emotional and in-tellectual development of children CCCC also provide continued edu-cational support to the elementary children and families that we serve

Grants of up to $500 each will be awarded this fall for the 2012-2013 school year Teachers received applications in Sep-tember The deadline to apply is November 16 2012 For more information about the awards contact Alice Davis PEF Teach-er Grant chair at amdavispullmancom

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman School District is con-tinuing its participation in the Washington State TeacherPrin-cipal Evaluation Pilot project this year ESSB (Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill) 5895 was signed into law on June 7 2012 further defin-ing timelines and steps that must be taken to implement the new evaluation system The law stipu-lates that all districts are required to adopt and implement the new evaluation systems beginning in 2013-14 Our participation in the pilot project is helping us to pre-pare for this full implementation

As has been discussed in pre-vious articles all administrators and several teachers have partici-pated in development and train-ing over the past two years Last year three to six teachers in each school along with all adminis-trators were evaluated under the new system practicing the strate-gies and providing feedback This experience has helped develop a core of people that are in turn sharing their experience with others

During the 2012-13 school year all certified teachers will be evaluated using the most current version of the Danielson model rearranged under the eight State of Washington criteria for teach-er evaluation Our district will be providing training in several formats to teachers who did not participate in the pilot last year A district-wide training took

place on our Learning Improve-ment Day on Friday October 5 Dr Connie Sims a national con-sultant for the Danielson Group again joined us for this event Dr Sims spent several days in our dis-trict last year in addition to pro-viding trainings attended by Pull-man teachers and administrators She is a talented educator and an extremely valuable resource for us as we move forward

It has been challenging to learn to think about teacher and prin-cipal evaluation in this different way but all who have practiced with it see the value and are ex-cited Imbedded throughout the model are numerous and consis-tent opportunities for profession-al conversation around student learning Reflective conversations with colleagues and supervisors require thorough understanding and analysis of classroom events and student responses to and within those events These on-going conversations guided by the framework are the basis of the formative nature of the new model and are what make it so powerful We will continue to up-date community members as we progress through the final stages of implementation over the next couple of years

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

Pullman Community UPDATE 19November 2012 PUllMAn SCHool diStRiCt

The Pullman School District is preparing to offer a ballot measure in February of 2013 Voters within the school district boundaries will have the opportunity to consider the sale of bonds forbullThe complete modernization of

the high school andbullThe addition of elementary class-

rooms to address recent increases in enrollmentAdditional classrooms are needed

to relieve class sizes across all three elementary Schools Without addi-tional classrooms further increases in enrollment will require moving some general classes into what few remaining specialty spaces we have such as music and art or introduc-ing portable classrooms to one or more of our elementary school sites The district has and continues to ex-plore all of these options

Our three elementary schools are relatively new however they are now enrolled at capacity The district has seen nearly 10 growth in enroll-ment over the past five years If our current kindergarten class of 248 students matriculates into the first grade the district will need space for at least 2 additional teachers next year Special education preschool enrollment in the district has nearly doubled over the past five years

Additional classrooms at the el-ementary level will benefit all three of our elementary schools They will relieve the crowding now experi-enced at each of these three schools As students move into the district students can and will be distrib-uted among our three elementary schools so that enrollment across all elementary classrooms is equitably distributed

Another option the district has studied is the Franklin Elemen-tary site for additions Franklin is our newest elementary school and would require the fewest infrastruc-ture upgrades to accommodate ad-ditional classrooms Franklin was designed and constructed with core capacity for additional classrooms Franklin is a smaller school than the other two and by adding five or six classrooms there Franklin would then have student capacity equal to that of Jefferson and Sunnyside our other two elementary schools

Historical trends have shown that when the economy improves there could be a decline in enrollment Our School District does not antici-pate such a decline Increases in the population of Pullman are just as likely to be the result of the growth

of SEL and related industries and businesses as well as enhancements to research facilities and programs at WSU Furthermore new and af-fordable housing added to Pullman during the past decade may also have contributed to an increase in population Importantly the City of Pullman and the Chamber of Com-merce along with key partners such as WSU SEL the hospital and the school district have made an effec-tive effort to market Pullman as a great place to live to work do busi-ness and to raise a family

Also on the anticipated Bond Bal-lot in February will be a rebuildre-model of our Pullman High School The current facility is out of date inefficient and expensive to oper-ate and it places limitations on in-struction and learning The current facilities do not reflect the commu-nityrsquos high value for education and its expectations for instruction and learning Our community expresses pride in its teachers and students for what they accomplish however pride in our high school facility is lacking

As of now some of the major planning assumptions for Pullman High School include a second gym a full theatre with back stage ame-nities such as set construction and storage lighting and sound ameni-ties enhancements to the football stadium including press box con-cessions bleachers and possibly turf core space for 1000 students with classrooms for 900 expandable to 1000 in the future and a mod-ernized current gym and vocational building

Current budget estimates total ap-proximately $65 million to complete both projects down from earlier as-sumptions of $68 million Of that less than $2 million is expected to be needed for the elementary capac-ity expansion which would end up adding about 5 cents per thousand to the total tax rate As to the ad-ditional funds needed for our High School Project the state of Wash-ington would provide a school con-struction grant of about $13 million The cost to taxpayers would be ap-proximately $52 million

Tax rates if approved by the vot-ers would return to levels similar to the rate in 2002 when Lincoln Middle School was financed Be-cause of the current economic cir-cumstances facing the construction industry the cost of construction remains relatively low With cur-rent planning and budget assump-tions the increase in tax rates would

be about $162 per thousand of as-sessed property value This is $162 per year on a property assessed at $100000 or about $14 per month As with Lincoln Middle School the tax rate would be expected to de-crease each year after the initial sale of bonds

We expect construction of el-ementary classrooms to begin as soon as they can be designed and to be occupied by the fall of 2015 Both projects will include everything necessary for teachers and staff to move in and begin class In addition to constructing the physical spaces the projects will add needed fur-nishings and equipment necessary to operate the buildings and to in-struct students Needed site devel-opment and improvements includ-ing demolition where necessary are included in the cost estimates

Pullman High School will likely be constructed on the current site and over the current footprint of the existing school Nearly 13 of the project will remodel existing struc-tures saving the district approxi-mately $8 million dollars Construc-tion will occur in phases with some temporary housing and alternate demolition and new construction Our chosen architect firm NAC Ar-chitecture of Spokane has extensive and successful experience with such phasing projects in the construction of large high schools

A comprehensive moderniza-tion of a high school like ours takes between three and four years to complete We expect defining the specifications and the design work to begin immediately upon securing financing The project could be com-plete by the fall of 2016 However it is more likely to be completed in the fall of 2017 given the complexity of utilizing the current location and retaining and remodeling a portion of the existing structure

We are doing our best to pro-vide state of the art learning spaces for our students but the build-ings we are talking about are your buildings your schools for your children thus it is important that you let us know what you think We have held community forums for input and will continue with more as this project goes along

The most important thing for you to remember is that your school board members represent you If you have ideas comments ques-tions concerns or suggestions re-garding our Bond proposal please contact one of us Or please feel free to contact the Pullman School Dis-trict Office at 332-3581 or by e-mail to sfochtpsd267org We look forward to hearing from you

We are proud of our students and their wonderful accomplishments Just think what they could do in a state of the art schoolmdasha school they could be proud of

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit

City thanks 2012 volunteersDrive safely this winterItrsquos time to start thinking about winter driving

in the Palouse Here are some tips from Pullman Police Department to help while yoursquore navigating the streets and hills of Pullman during this winter season These things may take a little more time up front but can save you a lot of time and money by avoiding collisions or getting stuck

Six tips for successful winter driving1 Warm up and remove Remember to warm up

your vehicle properly and remove all snow from your vehicle This is an important step to make sure you can see clearly out of the vehicle and people can see your vehiclersquos turn signals and brake lights Also remember once your vehicle warms up the snow on top the roof will become loose and may slide down onto your windshield when you stop Often this snow is too much for your vehiclersquos wipers to remove and could keep you from seeing clearly until you stop and remove it

2 Plan your route Be aware of alternate routes to and from your common destinations Know of other routes that may not be as steep during times when the snowplows and sanders may not have had a chance to get to your usual route Re-fer to the cityrsquos ice and snow control program for the best routes during snowy and icy conditions

3 Decrease speed and increase following dis-tances When roads are covered with snow and ice the last thing you want to do is give your vehicle sudden input Slamming on brakes and turning suddenly can often cause you to lose control of your vehicle on slick roads This can be avoided by slowing down and increasing follow-ing distance so you can have time to make grad-ual adjustments to your vehicle This is also true when the roads appear to be clear during winter driving Often times the gravel placed on the road to improve traction during periods of snow

and ice on the road can have an opposite effect on bare roads The gravel tends to build up on the shoulder centerline at stop signs and at the bot-toms of hills This buildup of gravel can cause your vehicle to slide when it gets between your tires and the road surface So remember to slow down when approaching stop signs with bare roads so your vehicle does not slide into the intersection on the loose gravel

4 Be prepared for what may be around the corner Remember that just because the road is clear where you are now does not mean it will be clear around the corner Tree cover and low road use can cause some roads to be covered with snow and ice when others are clear Also freezing temperatures can create black ice which is not readily visible in areas of shade and high wind

5 Have proper supplies Whether you are travel-ing in town or across the state make sure to have the proper supplies in case of emergency When traveling in winter conditions keep a box or bag in your vehicle packed with a heavy coat snow pants gloves hat boots and a blanket You may also want to have a small shovel and some sand or other traction aids such as tire chains If you do end up stuck somewhere you may not be able to depend on help being there right away and the last thing you want is to dig out of the snow in your work clothes Having a shovel to dig out or sand to provide traction may help you get on your way sooner than later

6 Make your vehicle winter-ready Before try-ing any winter driving be sure that your vehicle is ready for winter Check to see that your tires are not worn beyond their usefulness and that the coolant in your vehicle is sufficient for the cold temperatures Finally make sure your windshield wipers work properly and are fitted with well working blades

Prevent frozen water pipesTo prevent possible property damage es-

pecially during your absence around the win-ter holidays the following recommendations may apply to you

bull During the winter break do not shut off your heat source Instead set your thermostat at 55ordm to protect against frozen pipes and po-tential water leaks from broken pipes Leave under-counter kitchen and bathroom sink doors open and make sure that all exterior plumbing pipes are properly insulated For additional information call 338-3239 or 338-3242

bull During all absences from your residence be sure to lock and secure your doors in order to minimize your chances of theft or burglary

Buck amp LexiBuck is a handsome 4-year-old

male Labrador Retriever mix who adores Lexi a sweet 7-year- old female Labrador Retriever who is probably Buckrsquos mom Buck has known Lexi all of this life so they are extremely attached to each other As a result these two dogs cannot be separated and must be adopted out together to their new forever family

Buck and Lexi love to sunbathe and to wander around their outdoor yard at AnimalHaven They also en-joy relaxing indoors hanging out with anyone who will stop to pet them They would love a home with a huge fenced yard where they could romp and play during the day Since

they are so cuddly they would also enjoy hanging out with their people inside Buck is very food- motivated and enjoys impressing people with his ldquoSit Prettyrdquo trick On the other hand Lexi is much more mellow and would love nothing more than laying down with a good snack and a per-son to scratch her ears These two are quite a pair and will be your friends for life

If you would like to meet Buck and Lexi or any of our other adoptable pets please contact our shelter staff at (509)332-3422 or shelterwhit-manpetsorg or simply come meet them in person at 1340 SE Old Mos-cow Road here in Pullman WCHS is open Monday through Saturday 1-530 PM

BonesAn eleven year old Russian boy

made an amazing discovery recent-ly while walking outside his home on the arctic tundra he noticed some bones sticking up through the ground When scientists uncovered the bones they turned out to be from a wooly mammoth that died over 10000 years ago Wooly mam-moths are now extinct but long ago they roamed what is now North America They looked like giant hairy elephants and stood about 13 feet tall

The bones found by the boy were from a teenage mammoth that was considered quite small at about 6 feet tall and 1000 pounds Scien-

tists think it may have been killed by an Ice Age hunter on a summer day because of patterns in the bones and the big hump on its back which stored summer fat For great pho-tos of this mammoth do a Google search on ldquoteenage mammothrdquo

The mammoth specimen one of the best ones ever found because it was buried so long in the ice is named Jenya after the boy who found it Would you like to be a sci-entist studying bones to learn about life long ago Then you could be-come a paleontologist Come to the Science Center to see our mammoth exhibit and uncover bones in the lentil pit
