Aegis Living laptop program helps Queen Anne employee’s young grandson in the Philippines
By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor
At Aegis Living of Queen Anne on Galer, residents, staff and administrators consider each other family, so when employee Lorcelli Osmillo wanted to help her grandson in the Philippines continue his on-line learning, she turned to her Aegis Living family.
Osmillo moved to Seattle from the Philippines almost five years ago, and has worked at Aegis of Queen Anne as part of the housekeeping staff, in charge of laundry, for almost as long.
“This is my first job here in America, and I am really happy to be here at Aegis,” Osmillo said. “This is a great place to work at because of the caring people here who are wonderful.”
Paul Jacob is in third grade, while Osmillo’s eldest granddaughter is graduating from K-12 school this year.
“And they are all scholars,” Osmillo said of her grandchildren. “That’s why I try to work my hardest here to help them, and they are really studying hard, and that makes me proud of them.”
While she sends home money to help with her grandchildren’s books and tuition, she wanted to do something extra when the hand-me-down computer that Paul Jacob was using started to fail. Not only was the computer 7 years old, it did not have a camera built in for him to engage with classmates and teacher during class.

Osmillo received a new laptop computer from the company through a technology progam that she sent to her grandson in the Philippines to assist in his studies.
Osmillo works hard to help support her family back in the Philippines: her 9-year-old grandson, Paul Jacob Apeta, his parents, his sisters Paula, 19, and Janine, 16, and Osmillo’s husband.
Like students in many U.S. schools, Osmillo’s grandchildren take online classes while schools in the Philippines are closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Osmillo said she wasn’t sure how to help Paul Jacob at first because, at the beginning of the pandemic, there was a shortage of laptops in the Philippines, but she wanted her grandson to have a better computer so he can continue his studies.
Then she heard of a number of things Aegis was doing to help support employees during the

According to a news release,
students will begin to return to classrooms on March 29 after SPS and the Seattle Education Association reached a tentative contract agreement last week outlining preschool and elementary student and staff’s return to school buildings. The agreement, which will
be approved this week, includes a joint commitment to bring pre-kindergarten and elementary special education intensive services pathways students back first. Secondary special education intensive pathways students and all other elementary students whose families choose to send their children back to school for the in-person instructional model will start on April 5.
According to the agreement,
to allow students more days of instruction time with classmates, school will resume following a hybrid schedule where students receive part time in-person instruction and part time remote lessons.
Under the hybrid model, students will attend either morning or afternoon in-person class four days a week, with remote teaching

Technology that can help locate lost items
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you recommend any good devices that help seniors with tracking down misplaced items? My wife misplaces everything including her car keys, eyeglasses, cell phone, purse and more. Always Searching
Dear Always,
There’s actually a wide variety of tracking devices that can help you and your wife find items that are commonly misplaced. Here are some top options to consider depending on how tech savvy you are. Bluetooth trackers
If you or your wife uses a smartphone or tablet, you can easily track down lost or misplaced items like keys, a purse or wallet, remote control, smartphone, tablet or even a laptop with a Bluetooth tracker.
While there are several different types of tracker products on the market today, the best is Tile (TheTileApp.com), which pairs with Apple and Android apps to help you

pandemic, including offering free meals for staff and their families; flexible works schedules along with childcare support; expanding telehealth benefits to all employees as well as additional mental health resources; “hero bonuses” for employees; and over 100 grants made available.
Aegis Living also purchased 300 laptops to be given to employees with school-aged children who were participating in at-home schooling due to COVID-19.
“Our employees are the heart of our company, and we must continue to show empathy and support them and their families during challenging times,” Aegis Living Founder and CEO Dwayne Clark said in a statement. “We are there to lift them up, just as they love and care for our residents each day. The laptop program is just one of many ways we did this over the past year and continue to do so today.”
Osmillo said, when she first saw
locate missing items.
All you do is attach a small batterypowered Tile to the items you want to keep track of with an adhesive sticker, a key ring or you can just slip it inside the item.
Then, when a tagged item goes missing, you simply access the app on your smartphone or tablet to see how far away you are from the item or last known location on the map. If you’re within 150 to 200 feet, you can make the Tile ring so you can follow the sound to easily find it.
Or, if your wife loses her phone, the Tile works in reverse, allowing her to double press the button on her Tile to make her phone ring (even if it’s on silent) as long as it’s nearby.
Tile also works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa or Siri to find misplaced items. All you have to do is ask.
To fit your tracking needs, Tile offers a variety of different sized trackers including the Tile Mate that’s ideal for keeping track of keys, purses or backpacks; Tile Slim,
the laptop application form, she decided she had to apply because there was no harm in trying.
Still, Osmillo said she was surprised when Aegis of Queen Anne on Galer General Manager Kaylan Moore told her Aegis was giving her a laptop to give to her grandson.
Osmillo said she coordinated with family members to have the computer delivered by Fed-Ex to the Philippines. The family kept the computer and its arrival a secret, but arranged for Paul Jacob to answer the door when it arrived.
Paul Jacob later told his grandmother that he was excited that he got to share his ID with the FedEx delivery person to receive the package.
“When he opened it, he was really, really surprised,” Osmillo said, adding Paul Jacob ripped the box open and began to celebrate, showing off his new computer to his family members.
When it was time for school, Paul Jacob proudly showed off his new computer to his classmates and teacher, who were all ap-

Glasses tracker
Since Tile doesn’t offer a glasses tracker, a great product to help your wife keep tabs on her eyeglasses is Orbit Glasses (FindOrbit.com). This is a tiny rechargeable Bluetooth device that sticks to the inside arm of the glasses so it’s not noticeable. So, when your wife’s glasses aren’t on her head, but are nearby, she can use the free Orbit app to make them ring so she can find them quickly. Or, if she’s out of Bluetooth range, she can check the last known location that will be shown on the map.
Radio frequency finders
If you or your wife don’t have a smartphone or tablet, there are also radio frequency devices like the Esky Key Finders
(EskyNow.com), sold through Amazon. com, that can help you find misplaced items.
These devices come with an item locator remote and four to six tags with prices ranging between $20 and $30. Attach a tag to the items you want to keep track of with a key ring or adhesive. Each tag is colorcoded and corresponds to a colored button on the finder.
When an item goes missing, you simply press the colored button on the locator remote and the tag will flash and beep. The signal will go through walls and cushions and have a tracking range of around 100 feet. Make sure you keep the finder fob in a safe spot, because if you misplace it, you won’t be able to find the tagged items.

propriately impressed, Osmillo said. Paul Jacob told his class that he never “in his wildest dreams” imagined he would receive a brand new computer, all his own.
Osmillo said her grandson is very proud of his new computer, and when he talked to his grandmother for the first time after receiving it, he told her that nobody else is allowed to touch it.
Osmillo said Paul Jacob uses the computer only for on-line school, reserving his iPad mini for
playing games.
“He put his name on it,” Osmillo said, adding Paul Jacob’s sisters were a little jealous that only he got a new laptop.
While Osmillo has only been able to visit her family twice since moving to the United States, she rarely feels homesick because she wakes up at 3:30 each morning to talk to her family in the Philippines, when it is around 7:30 their time, talking to them either by phone or through online
video chat. After their daily chats, Osmillo goes to work for the day, which she said she enjoys because the staff at Aegis is so caring and they all love taking care of the residents.
“I really like working here at Aegis,” Osmillo said, adding she plans to work at Aegis until she retires some day. “The staff are good. They all support me, and whatever I needed here, they are here for me.”
Osmillo said she feels grateful that she works for a company like Aegis, which allows her to take care of her grandchildren.
“I want them to have good studies and hopefully have a good job after graduation,” Osmillo said.
Moore said Aegis of Queen Anne staff and administrators love having Osmillo there, as well, and she is happy Aegis could help her grandson.
“It was an absolute pleasure to spoil your grandson because he is a scholar,” Moore said to Osmillo. “We are a family, and we take care of our families. It was awesome that you reached out.”

How does toothpaste clean teeth?
If you are anything like me, every day you squeeze a little toothpaste onto your toothbrush and brush your teeth. Toothpaste gets its cleaning power from a few different ingredients.
My friend Mark Leid was happy to tell us about how they work. Leid spent part of his career teaching future dentists. He is also dean of the Washington State University College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
First, he told me the outer covering of a tooth is called enamel. It’s the hardest tissue in the whole human body — even harder than bone — and it helps with things like chewing your food.
Inside your mouth and on your teeth, there are lots of tiny living things called microorganisms. They are so small you’d probably need a microscope to see them, but they like to eat the leftover food bits that get stuck in your teeth.
As they eat those leftover bits, they also make acid. That acid can break down your enamel, which can lead to cavities or tooth decay.
“We can’t make new enamel,” Leid said. “Once our enamel is gone, it’s gone.”
That’s part of the reason it is so important to brush our teeth. When you brush your teeth with toothpaste, it helps get rid of that acid.
Getting rid of acid
Leid said some ingredients that help get rid of the acid and leftover food in your teeth are called abrasives. These create scrubbing power and sometimes give the toothpaste a gritty texture. Abrasives are combinations of atoms, which are like building blocks, that come together to form something called a chemical compound.
One example is calcium carbonate, which is made up of carbon, oxygen and calcium atoms. Another is silica gel, which is made up of silicon and oxygen atoms. Some other compounds create scrubbing power, but these are two of the main ones.
Meanwhile, other toothpaste ingredients help create foaming action, such as sodium lauryl sulfates and sodium N-lauryl sarcosinate. These are the same compounds that give soaps their foamy qualities.
Take a look at toothpaste
Take a look at the back of your toothpaste tube and see what ingredients you can find. Another ingredient you might notice is fluoride, which helps strengthen your enamel. You might also see other flavoring agents that give
Ballard Food Bank seeks donations for new facility
With the construction of its new home in northwest Seattle underway, Ballard Food Bank is seeking community donations to raise the remaining funds for the project.
According to a press release, the nonprofit wants to raise $1.7 million through its Hope Beyond Hunger campaign during the next several months.
“The past year has shown that we absolutely need a bigger, better Ballard Food Bank,” Ballard Food Bank Executive Director Jennifer Muzia said in the press release. “We have faced so many challenges during the pandemic: responding to ballooning needs, transforming our operations, and keeping our clients, staff and volunteers safe. But our community has repeatedly come together to make our work possible. We are confident that community will come together again to get us over the finish line for our new home.”
Over the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the urgency for a larger, updated food bank and community resource hub. In February of 2020, 3,200 people visited the food bank or received food deliveries. In February of 2021, that number has doubled to more than 6,400, including many people who had
never needed food assistance before.
“For decades, Ballard Food Bank has been providing food and services for people in our community,” said Ballard Food Bank Board Member and Hope Beyond Hunger Chair Julia Weisenburger in the press release. “Now we are thrilled that everyone can contribute to its next evolution: a fantastic new food bank and resource hub. Together, we can all bring food and hope to our neighbors in need.”
The new building, 1400 N.W. Leary Way, will allow Ballard Food Bank to support more people and offer increased resources to residents experiencing poverty. The expanded operation will serve a larger area, including Licton Springs through Bitter Lake and up to 145th Street. According to the press release, the food bank will provide greater access to food and services to these communities, several of which have pressing needs. With the support of foundations, state and city government, and Seattle-based businesses, the nonprofit has raised $12.2 million so far, which is 88 percent of the total fundraising goal.
“We are hopeful others will join the Gates Foundation and the many other donors — both foundations and individuals — in what we believe is as a vital investment in the strength of
our community,” said Amy Carter, director of Community Engagement at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. “Ballard Food Bank’s new home will be a phenomenal facility serving the Ballard and surrounding communities for decades to come.”
Ballard Food Bank expects to welcome people through the doors of the new building this fall. At 11,000 square feet, the new facility will be double the size of the current operation and include a bigger grocery-store style food bank, an expanded community resource hub, a community garden, more storage for the Weekend Food for Kids and Home Delivery programs, a café where visitors can share food and communityand signage in four languages. Conceptualized during a pandemic, the building will also feature enhanced public health and safety elements.
Community members and businesses interested to giving to the Hope Beyond Hunger campaign can learn more about the project and make a contribution at www.ballardfoodbank. org/ournewhome.
Ballard Food Bank serves people in numerous communities, including Ballard, Magnolia, Queen Anne, Fremont, Phinney Ridge, Green Lake, Westlake and parts of South Lake Union.
toothpaste its taste, like mint.
“Otherwise, it would taste pretty chalky and bitter,” Leid said.
When you brush your teeth, you are helping your mouth stay clean and healthy. In addition to brushing, flossing is also important. Floss helps remove any excess food between your teeth that might invite those acid-making bacteria.
It’s great to hear you are curious about toothpaste. Who knows, maybe one day you will be a chemist, a dentist, a pharmacist or anything else you dream. Keep up the great brushing, keep asking great science questions and don’t forget to floss.
Sincerely, Dr. Universe

Superintendent Brent Jones will replace Superintendent Denise Juneau earlier than originally planned. According to an SPS press release, Jones will assume his duties on May 1, a couple of months earlier than expected to help students, families, teachers and staff as the district resumes more in-person learning and develops plans for the 2021-22 school year.
Juneau announced in December 2020 that she would not seek an extension when her contract came due and would leave the district at the end of June 2021.
The SPS Board of Directors hired Jones as the interim superintendent in February.
SPS Board President Chandra Hampson said in the announcement that the board is grateful to both Juneau and Jones for committing to a smooth transition.
“Transitions are always difficult, and to undertake such a major one during a time of constant change and uncertainty makes us that much more grateful in their willingness to ensure strong continuity of leadership,” Hampson said in the release.
According to the announcement, Juneau will remain in the Seattle area and be available as a resource to Jones to help with the transition.

Seattle Preschool Program expands with 14 new classrooms and summer extension for 2021
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced that applications for the 2021-2022 Seattle Preschool Program are now open, with three new partner agencies and 14 new classrooms opening this fall. The new additions bring the total number of SPP classrooms to 129, which includes 20 Family Child Care sites, with capacity to serve up to 2,054 preschoolers.
The City also announced that it would extend preschool programming for the current school year through summer months to help mitigate learning loss during COVID-19 and its disproportionate impact on children of color. The Department of Education and Early Learning, which oversees the Seattle Preschool Program, expects that around 74 classrooms will offer summer preschool services for approximately 1000 children, with the majority of programs offering in-person preschool.
Significant modifications were made to SPP during the 20202021 school year in response to COVID-19, including multiple programming options (in-person, remote, and hybrid) and tuition waivers and reductions. Under expansion plans from the Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise Levy, the Seattle Preschool Program is on track to
serve more than 2,500 children by 2026. SPP provides Seattle children who are 3 or 4 years old with access to evidence-based, culturally responsive and equitable preschool services that improve readiness for school and support subsequent academic achievement while eliminating race-based disproportionalities in kindergarten readiness. New expansion sites for the 2021-22 school year include:
Hilltop Children’s Center Community School of West Seattle
West African Community Council - One Family Learning Center
Tiny Tots Early Learning Collaborative Associated Recreation Council at Alki

Senate committee to consider bill regulating school use of Native American mascots
By Ruairi Vaughan Contributing writer
On Thursday, the Washington state Senate Ways and Means Committee will consider executive action on a bill that could pave the way toward ending what Native American advocates describe as decades of discrimination in the state’s public schooling system.
HB 1356 is sponsored by Rep. Debra Lekanoff (D-Anacortes), Washington’s only Native American state legislator. If passed into law, the bill would largely prohibit public schools in Washington from using Native American names, symbols or images as school mascots, logos or team names. The bill would not affect sports teams unaffiliated with the public schooling system.
Rep. Lekanoff said Washington state has dozens of school teams that use Native American names, logos or mascots, part of a long history of appropriation and stereotyping in American sports.
Activists and leaders from Native American communities have been advocating against stereotyped imagery in sports since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s.
According to an article on the
Photo courtesy Washington House Democrats Rep. Debra Lekanoff speaks about her proposed legislation that would prohibit most schools from using Native American names or mascots. The Senate Ways and Means Committee will consider the bill Thursday.
website FiveThirtyEight, in 2020, more than 1,000 high schools in the United States still had Native American team names. More schools and teams are moving away from such divisive names, however. In 2020, after years of debate and controversy, Washington D.C. NFL football franchise stakeholders announced that the team would no longer be called
the “Washington Redskins” and would go by “The Washington Football Team” until a new name was selected.
In testimony to the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee on March 12, Chaynannah Squally, an educator and Nisqually Tribe member, said, based on research and her own experience, that these portrayals
negatively affect Native American children and how they view themselves.
“The foundations of Native American mascots connect harmful representations to Native Americans and their experiences,” she said.
She went on to cite a recent poll that indicated more than 60 percent of Native Americans found the “Redskins” team name offensive.
Lekanoff and her allies do not want to remove all Native American imagery from sports. Instead, she has advocated for better understanding of Native American customs and art in Washington. When speaking before the Senate committee last week, Lekanoff noted how every aspect of her appearance, from the floral designs on her clothing to the braiding of her hair, represented centuries of knowledge handed down from tribal elders to new generations and contrasted that to the “warrior chop” and imitation “costumes” used by many teams.
“Let’s have the public school system consult with the local tribe because great things will happen,” Lekanoff said when outlining her goals for the legislation. “The public school system will sit down with the elders in that
community and say, ‘Let’s do this together.’ You’ll hear the sound of the drums during a state basketball tournament as the tribes and all of the kids of all colors sing that song. You’ll see what the Spokane Indians have done with a Minor League baseball team that has the only uniform that has Salish Indian written across their uniform. You’ll see what the La Conner Braves have done between the Swinomish tribe, the La Conner school district and the La Conner community, where they took the Indian head down, which really wasn’t a coast Salish head — it was a stateside Indian from the east — and the tribe actually designed a cedar band with two feathers hanging down. You created cultural education where the kids are learning how to honor and who it is that are your neighbors ... You’re teaching the next generation that we, as Native Americans, do exist.”
If the Ways and Means Committee passes the legislation, it will head to the Senate floor. The House passed the bill in late February by a vote of 92-5. If passed and signed into law, the legislation would take effect Jan. 1, 2022.
The state’s legislative session is due to close on April 25.
