Pullman Regional Hospital has been rec-ognized for the commitment and dedica-tion in continually updating IT systems to improve communication and patient safety and was named one of the nationrsquos leading hospitals in technological advancement in the 14th annual lsquoMost Wiredrsquo survey ad-ministered by the Hospitals amp Health Net-works
The lsquoMost Wiredrsquo survey covers all efforts to improve IT efficiency in hospitals and analyzes the data center records and back-ups with a focus on patient care and patient safety Some examples include the use of bedside medication verification (BMV) to ensure patients are getting the right medi-cations at the right time along with the correct dosage and the use of electronic or-ders and electronic notes by physicians and nurses
Mark Johnson Director of Regional Ac-counts with Inland Northwest Health Ser-vices (INHS) a Spokane WA based company completes the survey for all INHS hospitals including Pullman Regional Hospital This year over 200 hospitals nationwide earned Most Wired status or Most Wired-Small and Rural 17 of which are part of INHS hospitals The 2012 lsquoMost Wiredrsquo award marks Pullman Regional Hospitalrsquos sixth consecutive ldquoMost Wiredrsquo or lsquoMost Wired-Small and Ruralrsquo title
ldquoImplementing these complex technol-ogy systems shows the hospitalrsquos dedica-tion to patient care and that it is striving to achieve a fully electronic systemrdquo Johnson said
Pullman Regional Hospitalrsquos IT Director Chris Jensen said the survey criteria for the award and the dedication of Pullman Re-gional Hospital employees to implement the electronic system is true testament of the car-ing nature of Pullmanrsquos community hospital
ldquoPullman Regional Hospital has an in-tense commitment to advancing our tech-nology and making improvements for bet-ter patient carerdquo Jensen said ldquoThe more involved we are in updating technologies and making it easier more reliable and more efficient to access the better for our hospital and our patientsrdquo
Johnson said patients arenrsquot very familiar with the lsquoMost Wiredrsquo survey or how much of an accomplishment it is to these organiza-tions
ldquoWersquore just trying to help our hospitals get the recognition that they deserve in their community and to help show the commu-nities that a lsquoMost Wiredrsquo approved hospital isnrsquot just your regular hospital Theyrsquore doing all they can to create safer more reliable pa-tient care and wersquore helping them go above and beyondrdquo Johnson said

Pullman Community UPDATE 3August 2012 Pullman Regional HosPital
Finding specialty medical care in small communities can be challeng-ing Fortunately Pullman Regional Hospital provides access to special-ists every month with clinics Mon-day through Friday
Each specialty clinic enhances the care available to community members and supports primary care physicians by providing additional sources for referring patients Best of all patients can receive more timely care closer to home
ldquoBringing the specialists here elim-inates the burden of travel for our community and when you arenrsquot at your best a two hour car ride for care is less than idealrdquo said Patty Snyder Director of Medical Staff Services at Pullman Regional Hospital
ldquoPatients can come here to Pull-man Regional Hospital their com-munity hospital that they know and trust and see a specialist Our spe-cialty clinic patients tell us thank you every day for providing these services right here in their own backyard and we know itrsquos the right thing to dordquo
If you are interested in seeing one of the specialists who visit Pull-man Regional Hospital each month please consult with your primary care physician Your physician can provide a referral and help you de-termine if the medical services the specialist provides are right for you

As you prepare for back to school shopping one thing to carefully consider is what type of backpack your child needs Carrying the wrong type of backpack or carrying one incorrectly can lead to poor posture as well as neck shoulder and back pain and fatigue
More than 40 million children carry backpacks to school each day Every year there are over 3300 emergency room visits nationwide for injuries in-volving backpacks in children ages 5-14 In order to prevent your child from sustaining injury keep the following tips in mind when purchasing a new backpack
bull The top of the backpack should be just below shoulder level and come down only as far as the top of the waist
bull It should have adjustable shoulder straps for older children who are carrying books to school
bull Ideally it should have an adjustable waist andor chest strap for heavier loads
bull A backpack with a larger pocket closest to the body and a smaller one on the outside of the pack are easier to load and distribute weight more evenly
bull Avoid the over the shoulder or messenger bags
In order to safely use the backpack follow these general guidelines
bull Load heavier items closest to the body
bull Always wear both shoulder straps snugly fastened
bull Wear the waist and chest strap if they are available
bull The backpack should not weigh any more than 15 of your childrsquos body weight
raquo Childrsquos current weight x 15=Max-imum weight of pack
raquo Example If your child weighs 60 pounds the backpack should weigh no more than 9 pounds when it is full
If you follow these general guidelines the chances of your children experiencing pain and in-jury are lessened If you have any questions about this article or if your child currently has back pain please contact Carrie Coen PT at Summit Therapy and Health Services at 509-332-5106 or at carriecoenpullmanregionalorg

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

As you prepare for back to school shopping one thing to carefully consider is what type of backpack your child needs Carrying the wrong type of backpack or carrying one incorrectly can lead to poor posture as well as neck shoulder and back pain and fatigue
More than 40 million children carry backpacks to school each day Every year there are over 3300 emergency room visits nationwide for injuries in-volving backpacks in children ages 5-14 In order to prevent your child from sustaining injury keep the following tips in mind when purchasing a new backpack
bull The top of the backpack should be just below shoulder level and come down only as far as the top of the waist
bull It should have adjustable shoulder straps for older children who are carrying books to school
bull Ideally it should have an adjustable waist andor chest strap for heavier loads
bull A backpack with a larger pocket closest to the body and a smaller one on the outside of the pack are easier to load and distribute weight more evenly
bull Avoid the over the shoulder or messenger bags
In order to safely use the backpack follow these general guidelines
bull Load heavier items closest to the body
bull Always wear both shoulder straps snugly fastened
bull Wear the waist and chest strap if they are available
bull The backpack should not weigh any more than 15 of your childrsquos body weight
raquo Childrsquos current weight x 15=Max-imum weight of pack
raquo Example If your child weighs 60 pounds the backpack should weigh no more than 9 pounds when it is full
If you follow these general guidelines the chances of your children experiencing pain and in-jury are lessened If you have any questions about this article or if your child currently has back pain please contact Carrie Coen PT at Summit Therapy and Health Services at 509-332-5106 or at carriecoenpullmanregionalorg

Raider and RussiaRaider and Russia are a pair of
Labrador retriever mixes who were abandoned at the AnimalHaven pet shelter in June Raider is approxi-mately one year old and is a medium-sized dog weighing in at about 40 pounds He is a bit shy around new people and looks for Russiarsquos guid-ance before joining her to greet you Once Raider knows you just want to be his friend he is full of wiggles Russia is a bit larger and appears to be mixed with Shar Pei and possibly heeler Russia seems to act as if she is Raiderrsquos mother and cares deeply for him She also corrects him when he acts up and always makes sure she knows where he is Russia loves to play fetch she can jump high in the air and is great at catch Neither Raider nor Russia is a good choice for a home with cats and our staff is cur-rently unsure about their behavior around dogs other than each other Although Raider and Russia do not have to be adopted together it would be wonderful if their future home
would like to take both of them since they are so close
If you are interested in Raider Rus-sia or any of our other pets please contact our staff at (509) 332-3422 or shelterwhitmanpetsorg or simply visit our AnimalHaven shelter and adoption facility

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

Each specialty clinic enhances the care available to community members and supports primary care physicians by providing additional sources for referring patients Best of all patients can receive more timely care closer to home
ldquoBringing the specialists here elim-inates the burden of travel for our community and when you arenrsquot at your best a two hour car ride for care is less than idealrdquo said Patty Snyder Director of Medical Staff Services at Pullman Regional Hospital
ldquoPatients can come here to Pull-man Regional Hospital their com-munity hospital that they know and trust and see a specialist Our spe-cialty clinic patients tell us thank you every day for providing these services right here in their own backyard and we know itrsquos the right thing to dordquo

As you prepare for back to school shopping one thing to carefully consider is what type of backpack your child needs Carrying the wrong type of backpack or carrying one incorrectly can lead to poor posture as well as neck shoulder and back pain and fatigue
More than 40 million children carry backpacks to school each day Every year there are over 3300 emergency room visits nationwide for injuries in-volving backpacks in children ages 5-14 In order to prevent your child from sustaining injury keep the following tips in mind when purchasing a new backpack
bull The top of the backpack should be just below shoulder level and come down only as far as the top of the waist
bull It should have adjustable shoulder straps for older children who are carrying books to school
bull Ideally it should have an adjustable waist andor chest strap for heavier loads
bull A backpack with a larger pocket closest to the body and a smaller one on the outside of the pack are easier to load and distribute weight more evenly
bull Avoid the over the shoulder or messenger bags
In order to safely use the backpack follow these general guidelines
bull Load heavier items closest to the body
bull Always wear both shoulder straps snugly fastened
bull Wear the waist and chest strap if they are available
bull The backpack should not weigh any more than 15 of your childrsquos body weight
raquo Childrsquos current weight x 15=Max-imum weight of pack
raquo Example If your child weighs 60 pounds the backpack should weigh no more than 9 pounds when it is full
If you follow these general guidelines the chances of your children experiencing pain and in-jury are lessened If you have any questions about this article or if your child currently has back pain please contact Carrie Coen PT at Summit Therapy and Health Services at 509-332-5106 or at carriecoenpullmanregionalorg

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

Raider and RussiaRaider and Russia are a pair of
Labrador retriever mixes who were abandoned at the AnimalHaven pet shelter in June Raider is approxi-mately one year old and is a medium-sized dog weighing in at about 40 pounds He is a bit shy around new people and looks for Russiarsquos guid-ance before joining her to greet you Once Raider knows you just want to be his friend he is full of wiggles Russia is a bit larger and appears to be mixed with Shar Pei and possibly heeler Russia seems to act as if she is Raiderrsquos mother and cares deeply for him She also corrects him when he acts up and always makes sure she knows where he is Russia loves to play fetch she can jump high in the air and is great at catch Neither Raider nor Russia is a good choice for a home with cats and our staff is cur-rently unsure about their behavior around dogs other than each other Although Raider and Russia do not have to be adopted together it would be wonderful if their future home
would like to take both of them since they are so close
If you are interested in Raider Rus-sia or any of our other pets please contact our staff at (509) 332-3422 or shelterwhitmanpetsorg or simply visit our AnimalHaven shelter and adoption facility

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

How Can I Help WCHS Help Pets
16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection

Raider and RussiaRaider and Russia are a pair of
Labrador retriever mixes who were abandoned at the AnimalHaven pet shelter in June Raider is approxi-mately one year old and is a medium-sized dog weighing in at about 40 pounds He is a bit shy around new people and looks for Russiarsquos guid-ance before joining her to greet you Once Raider knows you just want to be his friend he is full of wiggles Russia is a bit larger and appears to be mixed with Shar Pei and possibly heeler Russia seems to act as if she is Raiderrsquos mother and cares deeply for him She also corrects him when he acts up and always makes sure she knows where he is Russia loves to play fetch she can jump high in the air and is great at catch Neither Raider nor Russia is a good choice for a home with cats and our staff is cur-rently unsure about their behavior around dogs other than each other Although Raider and Russia do not have to be adopted together it would be wonderful if their future home
would like to take both of them since they are so close
If you are interested in Raider Rus-sia or any of our other pets please contact our staff at (509) 332-3422 or shelterwhitmanpetsorg or simply visit our AnimalHaven shelter and adoption facility

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

All 127 recipes were judged by qualified chefs based on how they were written Then the top 50 were prepared to be tasted by over 15 judges from all walks of life Bill Weed a self-professed ldquolentil haterrdquo will be tasting any recipe he canrsquot see lentils in Points will be deducted if
he can feel taste or otherwise detect the lentils to find a 2012 ldquoI Hate Len-tilsrdquo winner The highest scoring top six recipes will be prepared and pre-sented on Saturday August 18 to be tasted and judged by 400 lucky festi-val goers in Reaney Park
The 2012 National Lentil Festival Cook-Off Recipe Book sponsored by the Moscow-Pullman Daily News will contain all 127 recipes and is a great resource for amazing len-til dishes from across the country Rainbow Lentil Salad Southwest Vegetarian Chili and Let it be Lentil Strawberry Shortcake are just a few of the creations from these many tal-ented cooks

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

he can feel taste or otherwise detect the lentils to find a 2012 ldquoI Hate Len-tilsrdquo winner The highest scoring top six recipes will be prepared and pre-sented on Saturday August 18 to be tasted and judged by 400 lucky festi-val goers in Reaney Park
The 2012 National Lentil Festival Cook-Off Recipe Book sponsored by the Moscow-Pullman Daily News will contain all 127 recipes and is a great resource for amazing len-til dishes from across the country Rainbow Lentil Salad Southwest Vegetarian Chili and Let it be Lentil Strawberry Shortcake are just a few of the creations from these many tal-ented cooks

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

would like to take both of them since they are so close
If you are interested in Raider Rus-sia or any of our other pets please contact our staff at (509) 332-3422 or shelterwhitmanpetsorg or simply visit our AnimalHaven shelter and adoption facility

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

Raider and RussiaRaider and Russia are a pair of
Labrador retriever mixes who were abandoned at the AnimalHaven pet shelter in June Raider is approxi-mately one year old and is a medium-sized dog weighing in at about 40 pounds He is a bit shy around new people and looks for Russiarsquos guid-ance before joining her to greet you Once Raider knows you just want to be his friend he is full of wiggles Russia is a bit larger and appears to be mixed with Shar Pei and possibly heeler Russia seems to act as if she is Raiderrsquos mother and cares deeply for him She also corrects him when he acts up and always makes sure she knows where he is Russia loves to play fetch she can jump high in the air and is great at catch Neither Raider nor Russia is a good choice for a home with cats and our staff is cur-rently unsure about their behavior around dogs other than each other Although Raider and Russia do not have to be adopted together it would be wonderful if their future home
would like to take both of them since they are so close
If you are interested in Raider Rus-sia or any of our other pets please contact our staff at (509) 332-3422 or shelterwhitmanpetsorg or simply visit our AnimalHaven shelter and adoption facility

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

Raider and RussiaRaider and Russia are a pair of
Labrador retriever mixes who were abandoned at the AnimalHaven pet shelter in June Raider is approxi-mately one year old and is a medium-sized dog weighing in at about 40 pounds He is a bit shy around new people and looks for Russiarsquos guid-ance before joining her to greet you Once Raider knows you just want to be his friend he is full of wiggles Russia is a bit larger and appears to be mixed with Shar Pei and possibly heeler Russia seems to act as if she is Raiderrsquos mother and cares deeply for him She also corrects him when he acts up and always makes sure she knows where he is Russia loves to play fetch she can jump high in the air and is great at catch Neither Raider nor Russia is a good choice for a home with cats and our staff is cur-rently unsure about their behavior around dogs other than each other Although Raider and Russia do not have to be adopted together it would be wonderful if their future home
would like to take both of them since they are so close
If you are interested in Raider Rus-sia or any of our other pets please contact our staff at (509) 332-3422 or shelterwhitmanpetsorg or simply visit our AnimalHaven shelter and adoption facility

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

Raider and RussiaRaider and Russia are a pair of
Labrador retriever mixes who were abandoned at the AnimalHaven pet shelter in June Raider is approxi-mately one year old and is a medium-sized dog weighing in at about 40 pounds He is a bit shy around new people and looks for Russiarsquos guid-ance before joining her to greet you Once Raider knows you just want to be his friend he is full of wiggles Russia is a bit larger and appears to be mixed with Shar Pei and possibly heeler Russia seems to act as if she is Raiderrsquos mother and cares deeply for him She also corrects him when he acts up and always makes sure she knows where he is Russia loves to play fetch she can jump high in the air and is great at catch Neither Raider nor Russia is a good choice for a home with cats and our staff is cur-rently unsure about their behavior around dogs other than each other Although Raider and Russia do not have to be adopted together it would be wonderful if their future home
would like to take both of them since they are so close
If you are interested in Raider Rus-sia or any of our other pets please contact our staff at (509) 332-3422 or shelterwhitmanpetsorg or simply visit our AnimalHaven shelter and adoption facility

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

16 Pullman Community UPDATE August 2012Pullman scHool DistRict
In a few weeks students in Pull-man will be heading back to school What does this seasonal passage mean to you For me it evokes an al-most visceral sense of possibility and potential
The smell wafting out of a fresh box of crayons To me thatrsquos the smell of possibility Inside the box the precision-tipped colors stand at attention The message they con-vey to their user ldquoI am at your ser-vice Your imagination is the limitrdquo And thanks to the Kiwanis ldquoStuff the Busrdquo program eligible school children in our area (nearly a third of Pullman students qualify for free or reduced lunch) will start the year with essential school supplies--like fresh boxes of crayons for elementary students and flash memory drives for high school students
Those shining hall ways waxed and buffed to hi-gloss perfection They reflect the potential of each stu-dent in the district Over the sum-mer custodial and maintenance staff prepare facilities for another year of heavy use Many projects occur when school is out and frankly most of us wonrsquot notice tar on the roof or stripes in the parking lot But those floors They invite and inspire they
even elicit ldquooohsrdquo and ldquoaahsrdquo Polished floors along with all the other kinds of attention given to facilities express a powerful message ldquoWelcome to this place of learning Your community values you and your educationrdquo
And that new attendance policy Granted policies are something you canrsquot touch smell or see but they occasionally need freshening up too Over the past few years district staff members have been researching the problem of excessive absences The result is a revision of Policy 3122 Ex-cused and Unexcused Attendance (Please visit httpwwwpsd267orgPage697 to read the complete text of the policy and procedure)
Common sense tells us that stu-dents who regularly attend classes learn more than those who donrsquot Excessive absences whether excused or not impede students reaching full potential And the impact is not only on the absentee resources otherwise directed toward the class as a whole are drained away when teachers and other staff members work to get the absentee caught up
With the new attendance policy and procedure excessive absences (9+ in a semester) will be penalized But before that happens (at the 6th ab-
sence) a conference will be scheduled to discuss corrective actions This procedure will no doubt create more work for our high school staff but it was that very staff who requested the policy revision They needed an extra tool to encourage students (an increasing proportion of whom are over age 18 and thus able to excuse their own absences) to attend school each day--and to solve small prob-lems before they become big ones
The attendance policy will ben-efit younger students in the district as well Studies have shown that at-tendance in 8th grade is one of the strongest predictors of on-time grad-uation And problematic attendance patterns often emerge well before that Shortly after the new Policy was adopted an elementary school prin-cipal shared that attendance is an is-sue even in the primary grades He reported that in the previous year he had students with 25 40 and even 60 absences Prior to the policyrsquos adop-tion he had no way to address the is-sue as the absences were ldquoexcusedrdquo
The creation and adoption of School Board Policy is an abstract process It canrsquot compare to the mi-nor thrill of opening a fresh box of crayons or crossing the threshold to
step on the hi-gloss floor But as im-portant as those things are to the edu-cational process crayons will eventu-ally break and floors will show wear The new attendance policy however may have a lifelong impact on our studentsrsquo educational and career tra-jectories This policy communicates ldquoWe want you here in school every day so you can achieve your full potentialrdquo I am proud that we are sending this message
If you would like more information about Stuff the Bus (including how to do-nate) please visit the Kiwanis website wwwpullmankiwanisorg Families needing as-sistance with school supplies should contact their school or their childrsquos teacher
We look forward to greeting students on August 22nd the first day of school

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

Pullman Community UPDATE 17August 2012
Learning should not stop just because school is out for summer vacation Although students may feel they need a well-earned break they also need to continue learning so they are ready for the start of a new school year in the fall
Summer learning lossHere are some surprising facts compiled by the
National Summer Learning Institute (wwwsummer-learningorg) about the effects of long uninterrupt-ed summer downtime which often leads to summer learning loss
All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer Research spanning 100 years shows that stu-dents typically score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer vacation than they do on the same tests at the beginning of the summer
Most students lose about two months of grade-level equivalency in math skills over the summer and low-income students also lose more than two months in reading achievement
About two-thirds of the ninth-grade achievement gap between lower and higher income youth can be explained by unequal access to summer learning op-portunities during the elementary school years
Books are an excellent learning tool for summer vacation
Reading is one of the best ways to ensure that your child is ready for school If you are unsure about which books are right for your child talk to your childrsquos teach-er before school is out You can also look for reading programs in your community Some school summer food programs include reading activities and your lo-cal library will often host childrenrsquos reading programs
The ABCs of Improved Reading by James Kim assis-tant professor of education at Harvard University (wwwsummerlearningorg) will help your child get the most of summer reading time
Access to books Itrsquos critical that kids can get a wide variety of books over the summer months but we know that access alone doesnrsquot make a strong impact
Books that match readersrsquo ability levels and interests For young peoplersquos reading skills to improve they need to read books that align with their own reading levels
Reading books that are too easy or too hard wonrsquot help
Comprehension as monitored and guided by an adult teacher or parent The most important piece to making summer reading effective is the help of an adult who can ask questions and guide kids to better under-stand what they are reading
Adapted from information published by the National Summer Learning Institute

Superintendent Paul Sturm enjoys a morning reading to students in the Franklin Elementary Summer Program

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly

The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
Did you know
bull All Greenway funding has been by generous private donations
bull Pullman Parks Superintendent Alan Davis and the parks staff actively guide and assist the Gre-enway Committee with its mission
bull The Mayorsrsquo Grove of trees dedicated in Octo-ber 2000 just south of UPS was the first Grand Avenue beautification project This initial effort also had the unexpected but delightful bene-
fit of uniting two former Pullman mayors Pete Butkus and Carole Helm in marriage
bull The next major project was the park by the li-brary which was beautifully restored by the Boy Scouts and named the Scout Park
bull Following this was the Well 7 pump site at Ritchie and North Grand that included trees flowers and a meandering sidewalk
bull The WSU Presidentsrsquo Grove was established on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Mis-souri Flat Creek in March 22 2006
bull The next project was the Chamber of Commerce Presidentsrsquo Grove which is also on the east side of North Grand Avenue along Missouri Flat Creek along the new path south of the pedestrian near the Richie Street-Grand Avenue intersection
bull The lovely sidewalk benches and lights on the east side of Missouri Flat Creek near UPS was a joint project with the Civic Trust completed in 2011
bull The delightful SEL Plaza at North Grand and Terre View Drive anchors the North Grand beautifications It was created through the la-bor and donations of SEL employees
bull The extension of beautification efforts south-ward on Grand Avenue initially included the lovely fencing and landscaping at Billrsquos Weld-ing
bull Currently anchoring South Grand beautifica-tion is the Jess Ford garden funded by Jim and Shirley Jess and their corporation at the intersection of South Grand Avenue and Bishop Boulevard
bull The Grand Avenue Greenway committee con-tinues its beautification efforts with great enthusiasm and includes co-chairs Rosa-lie Harms and Rosemary Waldrop and members Alan Davis Char Fluster Fritz Hughes Bruce McFadden Debbie Sher-man Helen Stiller and Sharon Walbridge

In the Spring of 2011 Pull-manrsquos first hard cider manu-facturer opened its doors but the formation of the company began much earlier Whiskey Barrel Cider Company was started in concept by one of its owners Trent Maier the previ-ous year while living in Seattle and continued to blossom into what is currently the only lo-cal supplier of hard cider in the Palouse
ldquoI had been mak-ing hard cider out of used whiskey barrels for years Growing up in the Midwest it was our version of homebrew or home winemaking and when I moved from Michigan to Pull-man I was shocked to learn that more people out here didnrsquot do the same Washington is such an amazing producer of apples and what is happening now with cider in America and the Northwest is just the tip of the icebergrdquo Trent is certainly pas-sionate about cider-making and it was that passion that sparked the other half of the business Brian Augdahl to
bring him back to Pullman and form the business
ldquoSo many ideas have the po-tential to become legitimate business success stories but the biggest hurdle is having the space to take your ideas to that next level I had the space and it sounded like a lot of fun so it was a no-brainer to merdquo Brian is also the co-owner of
their new location on Airport Road where they manufac-ture the product and works full-time as a Senior Engineer for Schweitzer Engineering while Trent handles the day-to-day operations of the busi-ness While they do not have their own tasting location their three varieties are available throughout the area at various retail outlets
Whiskey Barrel Cider Com-pany has a focus on produc-ing high quality product at an affordable price but they also keep a close eye on the indus-try ldquoSo many people in this country love to mimic Europe-an trends and culturally I think we get a little jealous of the way alcohol is treated there Coun-tries like France helped indi-rectly create our wine indus-
try and so many of our beers also have strong roots in Eu-rope but nowhere else in the world are unique beers and wines on display like here in the US Itrsquos our goal to help en-courage the same for hard cider If you go
around the world and see ciderrsquos popularity itrsquos clear wersquore behind and just like the Micro-brew in-dustry I think that the North-west can have a huge impact on the industry by challenging the normrdquo

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate

The city of Pullman partners with Pullman School District 267 to edu-cate students about their communityrsquos water systems In addition to water supply and the sanitary system the students also learn about stormwa-ter runoff and the importance of pre-venting pollution from entering storm drains and our local waterways Thanks to the partnership between the city of Pullman and the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI) 590 students in seven schools have partici-pated in this education program in the past eight months
Environmental educators at PCEI worked with the 5th 8th and 10th grade students in Pullman to teach them specifically about stormwater runoff which according to the Wash-ington State Department of Ecology is the number one urban water pollution problem Through hands-on experi-ments students learned how rain and snowmelt from roads parking lots and yards collects harmful contaminants and carries them to our local streams
The lessons designed to meet Wash-ington State Science Standards require students to use the scientific method To understand the effects of stormwater pollution and be able to conceptualize practical solutions students engaged in discussions and group activities The 5th graders tested the varying levels of turbidity (cloudiness) of three local water samples and then brainstormed what characteristics of the sample lo-cations could be attributed to the cor-responding results The 8th graders learned about the laboratory process used to measure fecal coliform bacte-ria and discussed possible contamina-tion sources such as pet waste The 10th graders performed tests to understand what factors can affect dissolved oxy-gen levels and how low levels can im-pact aquatic species Each of the lessons concluded with a discussion on what actions the students can take to prevent further pollution and help improve our local streams
Both students and teachers were delighted with the lessons A Lincoln Middle School teacher commented
ldquothe different ways the information was delivered (visuals PowerPoint hands-on components and experiments) reached many different learnersrdquo A 5th grade teacher wrote ldquothe hands-on vi-sual really captures interest and atten-tionrdquo
Students and teachers were among the 140 volunteers and 12 PCEI staff members and interns to participate in the 8th annual Pullman stream clean-up that was held on April 7 The group removed over 8 cubic yards of trash and 2 cubic yards of recyclables from Mis-souri Flat Creek Paradise Creek and the South Fork of the Palouse River To help visualize the quantity a hollow washing machine without the drum is about 1 cubic yard Now imagine 10 of these full of trash Thanks to the vol-unteers Pullmanrsquos waterways are now more beautiful and critter friendly
For more information on how you can get involved please visit the Palouse-Clearwater Environmental In-stitute at wwwpceiorg or the city of Pullman at wwwpullman-wagov
The Grand Avenue Greenway Committee was formed in 1998 by former Mayor Karen Kiessling and Rosemary Waldrop with a vi-sion to ldquobeautify Grand Avenue and create a more pleasing environment for our communityrdquo Though the Greenway Committee and Pullman Civic Trust often work together on beautification projects and in many ways share common goals the fund-raising activities of these two wonder-ful community entities are totally separate
