Cashmere High School is honoring three former graduates, Dr. Kara Jackson Stoll, Sgt. Michael Henne and Elizabeth Boyle Mathews — the 2021 additions to the CHS Wall of Fame. To be included into the Wall of Fame, alumni must be at least 10 years out of high school, a leader in their field, must have given back to the community, and finally - they must be somebody that graduating seniors would emulate. CHS teacher Karin Blomquist helps organize the annual event. Dr. Kara Jackson Stoll was a 2004 Cashmere High School graduate. She was the salutatorian and four-year varsity athlete in soccer, basketball and track. Then, in 2008, she graduated with honors from the University of Portland with a bachelor of science degree. There, she also ran track for two years. Stoll continued her studies and graduated from Rocky Vista College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2013. After her residency in family medicine in Wisconsin, she returned home to the Wenatchee Valley. Here she became a family physician with Confluence Health. She and her husband Justin have two boys. Sgt. Michael Henne was a 1988 CHS graduate. He started as a cadet deputy at age 17 for the Chelan County Sheriff's Office. And by age 21, Henne became a reserve deputy sheriff and later a reserve police officer for the East Wenatchee Police Department. Henne moved to the Yakima Police Department in 1998. He started the department's Patrol K-9 program - arguably the most important program. Then, in 2007, he was promoted to sergeant and selected as training sergeant in 2014. He was responsible for the supervision and administration of his department's training division and coordinating training for 200 members of the staff. But it was in 2019 he returned to his true passion as a patrol sergeant. Henne has been married to his high school sweetheart, Laurie, for almost 30 years, and they have an 8-year-old son, Jacob. Finally. Elizabeth Boyle Mathews graduated from Cashmere High School in 2000. Mathews played tennis at Spokane Community College where she had a record of 116-wins-2-losses. She won two NWAACC titles in 2001 and 2002. She was also inducted into the Spokane Falls Tennis Hall of Fame in 2006. Mathews went to Montana State University to play tennis and she received her bachelor's and master's degrees there. She currently teaches chemistry at Bozeman High School. Since 2015, Matthews has been the Montana State Coordinator for the Presidential Award of Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching for the National Science Foundation. She's been married for 15 years and has two sons, and a baby daughter. In normal years, the ceremony for the Wall of Fame is at graduation. This year, the committee chose not to do that because of COVID-19. So instead, the ceremony was held virtually during Wednesday's Senior Recognition Night. So how are they all selected? There's a committee that chooses the Wall of Fame recipients every year. It's made up of members of the community - many of whom are past recipients of the award. With these three additions to the Wall of Fame, there are now 44 members. - Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health. The team at Confluence Health is grateful for the trust the community puts in them every single day. They are diligently working to improve the health and quality of life for our friends and neighbors. They are Grateful | They are Confluence Health. Learn more by visiting them at ConfluenceHealth.com -- Next, our weekly profile of one of the World's 30 Under 35 award recipients. Today we're featuring Nicole Brown. Brown was born and raised in Wenatchee, graduating in 2008 from Wenatchee High School. She went on to attend Wenatchee Valley College and Western Washington University before embarking on a career at LaborWorks Industrial Staffing in Bellevue. Hired initially as a staffing specialist, she was promoted to branch manager within just one year. Then, in 2014 she decided to move back to Wenatchee to be closer to family after her mother passed away. Once here, she was hired as a subcontracts assistant by Goodfellow Bros., advancing to subcontracts manager after three years. Then two years later she was promoted to payables manager. She is now one of the youngest employees in a management position within the company. Through it all, she has continued to be active in the Wenatchee Valley community, including the Wenatchee Central Lions Club and helping to direct the Wenatchee Apple Blossom Royalty Selection Pageant and volunteering for the festival. When we asked Brown what accomplishments she's most proud of she said one of them was the annual Goodfellow Bros. Charity Golf Classic that she helped start. It raised more than $70,000 for the Chelan-Douglas Court Appointed Special Advocates program in its inaugural year. During its second year they raised more than $100,000 for The Children's Home Society of Washington. Ironically, it was the golf tournament that led her to what she's most proud of - her work with the Chelan-Douglas CASA program. Brown has served as CASA's treasurer for the past three years and it is where she feels the most fulfilled and most impactful. She says CASA directly affects the most vulnerable children and families within our community. We also asked Brown who inspires her to be successful… she said it was her upbringing… Brown was raised in a household where she was expected — and also supported — to be the best possible version of herself every day. Having that instilled in her at a young age has carried into her adult life. Brown constantly wants to do better, be better, whether that is working her way up the ladder at work or supporting the community around her. Brown's a big believer in “the harder you work for something, the greater you'll feel when you achieve it.” Congratulations Nicole! Now, some history… Did you know the Wenatchee Valley Mall opened in East Wenatchee in 1978? When it opened, you could count on Sears, Lamonts, and Buttrey-Osco Food and Drug to anchor your shopping options. It's the biggest shopping mall in the area and has more than 340,000 square feet of shopping and dining space. Today, you might grab a bite to eat or a cup of coffee, find a bargain at several discount retailers, get outfitted for the big game, upgrade your cell phone, deck yourself out in accessories, get the latest hairstyle, or find out what the beyond is at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Hello and welcome to The Rob Burgess Show. I am, of course, your host, Rob Burgess. On this, our 57th episode our guest is Rachel Dolezal. Rachel Dolezal holds an MFA from Howard University. Her scholarly research focus is the intersection of race, gender and class in the contemporary Black diaspora, with a specific emphasis on Black women in visual culture. She is a licensed intercultural competence and diversity trainer, dedicated to racial and social justice activism. She has worked as an instructor at North Idaho College and Eastern Washington University, where she also served as adviser for the schools' Black Student Unions, and has guest lectured at Spokane Community College, the University of Idaho, Gonzaga University and Washington State University. Dolezal began her activism in Mississippi, where she advocated for equal rights and partnered with community developers, tutoring grade-school children in Black history and art and pioneering African American history courses at a predominantly white university. She is the former director of education at the Human Rights Education Institute in Idaho and has served as a consultant for human rights education and inclusivity in regional public schools. She recently led the Office of Police Ombudsman Commission to promote police accountability and justice in law enforcement in Spokane, Washington, and was the president of the Spokane chapter of the NAACP. She is the devoted mother of three sons. Dolezal garnered international attention after a June 11, 2015 interview she conducted with Jeff Humphrey of KXLY-TV. The interview begins with Humphrey asking Dolezal about hate crimes she had reported to the police. It ends abruptly after he asks her about a photo on the Spokane chapter of the NAACP's Facebook page which shows an African American man, Albert Wilkerson, who she claimed was her father. It was later confirmed by Dolezal's birth parents, Larry and Ruthanne Dolezal, that she was born white. Dolezal subsequently resigned her position at the NAACP on June 15, 2015. The same day, she also lost her position as an instructor at Eastern Washington University and her position as a freelance writer for The Inlander. And, on June 18, 2015, the Spokane City Council voted unanimously to remove her from the Office of Police Ombudsman Commission. On March 28, Dolezal released the book she wrote along with Storms Reback, “In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World,” through BenBella Books. Wilkerson wrote the Foreword to the book. If you enjoy this podcast, there are several ways to support it. I have a Patreon account, which can be found at www.patreon.com/robburgessshowpatreon.
