Queen Anne residents form group to bring more arts to neighborhood

Queen Anne &Magn

Next event this Friday featuring tap dancers from Fremont school

By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor

A group of Queen Anne women have formed an organization aimed at bringing more art opportunities to the neighborhood.

Anna Boynton, Beth Bunnell and Laura Corvi have partnered to form CounterBalance Now, a group that seeks to introduce

more opportunities for Seattle artists of all types to the entire Queen Anne community.

“We were just thinking we were all art supporters, and we love some of the things the other neighborhoods have done to bring the arts into their communities at different events,” Boynton said. “We just said, ‘Hey, let’s do that ourselves.’ ”

The first event took place in July when the Boot Boogie Babes, a line-dancing troupe run by Queen Anne resident DeAnna Lee, performed in front of Trader Joe’s and then at the Queen Anne Farmer’s Market.

The next event is this week and features tap dancers of all ages

A historical discovery

Salvage

company finds time capsule at former Queen

Anne church site

By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor

A Seattle architectural salvage company assigned to remove as much historic architecture from a former German evangelical church in Queen Anne prior to its demolition this summer found an unexpected discovery: a small time capsule from 1906, the year the church was built.

Aaron Blanchard, Earthwise Arcitectural Salvage director of operations, said staff was hired to perform a salvage assessment, going through the old church at 165 Valley St., which has since been demolished, looking for as many materials and items that could be salvaged and sold.

“We try to find and save as many things that we can sell,” Blanchard said, adding his company usually salvages items from old residences but has been doing more vacant churches, like the one in Queen Anne. “The owner of the company calls it CSI of the building. We just nerd out.”

Blanchard said, toward the end of the two-week salvage, his crew was digging around some blackberry bushes and found the cornerstone of the church, which they were excited about, not only because cornerstones are rarely left behind, but because sometimes they hid things like time capsules.

While the can Aaron Blanchard, director of operations at Earthwise Architectural Salvage, is holding was not included in the time capsule found at the site of a now-demolished church in Queen Anne, salvagers did find it buried in one of the walls, which Blanchard said sometimes happens.

How to buy the best blood pressure monitor for you

By Jim Miller Savvy Senior

Dear Savvy Senior, I just found out I have stage 1 hypertension and my doctor recommended I get a home blood pressure monitor to keep an eye on it. Can you offer me any tips on choosing a good one?

Hypertensive Helen

Dear Helen,

It’s a smart idea! Everyone with elevated or high blood pressure, stage 1 and higher, should consider getting a home blood pressure monitor. Home monitoring can help you keep tabs on your blood pressure in a comfortable setting. Plus, if you’re taking medication, it will make certain it’s working, and alert you to a health problem if it arises. Here are some tips to help you choose a good monitor.

The two most-popular types of home blood pressure monitors sold today are automatic arm monitors and automatic wrist monitors that are electric and/or battery powered. With an automatic arm monitor, you simply wrap the cuff around your bicep, and with the push of one button the cuff inflates and deflates automatically, giving you your blood pressure reading on the display window in a matter of seconds.

Wrist monitors work similarly, except they attach to the wrist. Wrist monitors are also smaller in weight and size, which makes them more portable, and a bit more comfortable to use than the arm monitors, but they tend to be a little less accurate. To help you choose the best monitor for you, here are several things to check into:

Make sure it fits: Be sure the cuff fits the circumference of your upper arm. Using a cuff that’s the wrong size can result in an inaccurate reading. Most arm models have two sizes or an adjustable

cuff that fits most people. Wrist models also fit most people. Choose one that’s easy to use:

Be sure the display on the monitor is easy to read, and that the buttons are large. The directions for applying the cuff and operating the monitor should be clear. Consider what extra features you want: Many automatic monitors come with additional features such as irregular heartbeat detection that checks for arrhythmias and other abnormalities; a risk category indicator that tells you whether your blood pressure is in the high range; a data-averaging function that allows you to take multiple readings and get an overall average; multiple user memory that allows two or more users to save their readings; and downloadable memory that lets you transmit your data to your computer or smartphone.

Where to

buy

You can find blood pressure monitors at pharmacies, medical supply stores or online, and you don’t need a prescription to buy one. Prices typically range between $40 and $100. In most cases, original Medicare will not cover a home blood pressure monitor, but if you have a Medicare Advantage plan or a

private health insurance policy, it’s worth checking into because some plans may provide coverage.

The best automatic arm monitors as recommended by Consumer Reports include the Omron Platinum BP5450 ($75), Omron Silver BP5250 ($50) and the Omron 10 Series BP7450 ($100); A&D Medical UA767F ($45); and Rite Aid Deluxe Automatic BP3AR1-4DRITE ($37). And the top wrist monitors are the Omron 7 Series BP6350 ($80); and the Equate (Walmart) 4500 Series ($40).

After you buy a monitor, it’s a good idea to take it to your doctor’s office so they can check its accuracy and teach you the proper techniques of how and when to use it.

Pacific Northwest Ballet and others to require proof of vaccinations

Pacific Northwest Ballet and other Seattle-area performance groups — including ACT-A Contemporary Theatre, Seattle Opera, Seattle Symphony, Seattle Rep, The Fifth Avenue Theatre, Village Theatre and more — are now requiring patrons wear masks and show proof of vaccinations or negative COVID-19 testing to attend upcoming live performances.

Like other organizations, PNB patrons will be required to provide proof of vaccination, a valid ticket to the performance and photo ID upon entering Marion Oliver McCaw Hall at Seattle Center.

PNB patrons must be able to show proof that they are fully vaccinated at the time

of their entry into the theater. A person is considered fully vaccinated at least 14 days passed since receiving either the second dose of FDA- or WHO-authorized vaccines. Patrons unable to be vaccinated because of age, medical condition or religious belief must provide results of either a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 48 hours of their ticketed performance or a negative COVID-19 antigen test taken within 24 hours of their ticketed performance. Masks will also be required for all audience members at all times except while eating or drinking. Patrons should check the requirements of any performing arts facility when buying tickets.

“The safety of PNB’s artists, staff, and audiences continues to be our first priority,”

Executive Director Ellen Walker said in a press release. “PNB’s artists and crew have been filming safely in-person since March 2020, and we are thrilled to evolve our safety plans to include in-person audiences. Multiple surveys confirm that our ticketbuyers overwhelmingly want to return to McCaw Hall, but with as many health and safety protocols in place as possible.”

PNB’s mask and vaccination mandates will be in place for its return to performances in McCaw Hall during its upcoming Rep 1 (Sept. 24 – 26) and Rep 2 (Nov. 5 – 7). Additional safety features at McCaw

The contents of a time capsule and other items salvaged from a now-demolished church in Queen Anne now make up a small display in the entrance of Earthwise Architectural Salvage, 3447 Fourth Ave. S., where the public can view it through Sept. 12.

Hall include top-of-the-line MERV 13 filters and running 100 percent fresh air circulation for all events. Attendance numbers will follow state and CDC guidelines for large indoor events. Capacity will be limited and social distancing measures will be taken in seating. Safety precautions for George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker and performances in 2022 will be announced soon and will continue to evolve over time in direct response to the pandemic.

“We just knew that if it’s an old church, and there’s a cornerstone, there’s frequently a time capsule behind it,” Blanchard said.

He said this was the first time his crew has found a time capsule or found and removed a cornerstone from a church.

“We knew we were the last hope for this to get salvaged,” Blanchard said.

According to information provided by Earthwise Architectural Salvage on the history of the church, the Evangelical United Brethren Church bought the site of the former church, 165 Valley St., for $3,500 at the turn of the 19th century because it was outgrowing its space near where the Seattle Center is now. The Evangelical Auditorium was built for $17,000 in 1906.

The church, which Blanchard estimated was approximately 4,500 square feet, was designed to seat 600 and featured services in both German and English and placed an emphasis on bringing youth into the church. Its first pastors were T.R. Hornschuch, who gave sermons in English, and F. Benz, whose sermons were in German.

The now-demolished building had actually not been a church for some time, Blanchard said. The building was last used for counseling services in 1970, and the last owners of the building likely didn’t know about the cornerstone or the time capsule, which was why it had never been opened. The building was torn down over the summer to make way for affordable housing.

Blanchard said, while the cornerstone and time capsule were a surprise, the contents were not, comprising of documents and other things from that time. That does not mean they weren’t excited, however.

“We were giddy,” Blanchard said. “We were like little kids getting excited.”

The time capsule actually comprised of a copper box, which,

according to information from Earthwise, is ideal for time capsules because it does not rust. When the Earthwise crew opened the box, they found:

• The Evangelical Messenger, a newspaper publication dated Nov. 21, 1906;

• Der Christliche Kinderfreund, a children’s newspaper dated Sept. 30, 1906;

• The Missionary Messenger, a periodical that was by the Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society;

• A Sunday School Quarterly Book, written in German and featuring songs, Bible topics, advice sections and more;

• The Evangelical Herald, published Nov. 1, 1906;

• The Evangelical Magazine, printed in German, January 1906;

• The Christian Messenger, printed December 1906, written in German;

• The Oregon Conference Evangelical Association minutes from 1906;

• A book of German evangelical hymns;

• An English Bible from 1898 with old and new testaments translated out of “original tongues;

• A ledger of donations for the church, which listed the names of people who donated to the church’s building, $205 total, or approximately $6,000 today;

• A copy of the Evangelical Doctrine, written in German;

• A letter about money received and location prospects of the church.

The time capsule and other items from the old church are on display for the public to see from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week at Earthwise, 3447 Fourth Ave. S., through Sept. 12.

Blanchard said, ideally, after the display is taken down, he would like to donate the time capsule and its contents because, although the items are not valuable monetarily, they may be of interest to a museum or another organization.

What happens in our brain and body when we hear a funny joke?

When we hear a funny joke, there are lots of different things that happen in the brain and body. My friend Paul Bolls, the director of the Media Mind Lab at Washington State University, told me all about it.

Bolls said one part of the brain that gets “tickled” when we hear a joke is called the frontal cortex. This is an area at the front of the brain that helps make sense of the joke and determine if it is funny.

Of course, exactly what someone finds funny depends on everything from culture to experiences they’ve had in life and their own sense of humor.

“When our brains get tickled, regardless of our different backgrounds and beliefs or what divides us, the brain processes involved in humor unite us as humans,” Bolls said.

Bolls said scientists have learned more about how the brain responds to humor with the help of MRI technology, which can capture images of people’s brains.

Scientists have observed that when a person experiences something funny, it also activates the brain’s emotional center. The emotional center includes a structure called the amygdala as well as the limbic system. Together, these different parts of the brain bring about that human experience of humor.

You may have observed that people also often get big smiles on their faces when they laugh. There are 42 muscles in the face, and laughter can give them a great workout.

Meanwhile, there is also a chemical called dopamine at play. It’s a kind of happy hormone that can make us feel good as we watch a silly cat video, read a hilarious meme or hear a funny joke.

The joke might make you chuckle, but if it’s a super funny joke, you might feel your heart beat faster, get tears in your eyes or even have

Boynton said other neighborhoods, like Fremont and Uptown, frequently feature different types of artists and performers, and she and the other CounterBalance

Now organizers saw a chance to do that in the rest of Queen Anne.

“There is a lot of exciting art connections down there, but it doesn’t come up here, and I think art isn’t restrictive of age or demographics,” Boynton said. “It’s just art should be exposed to everyone.”

Whether watching performance art or speaking to an artist about how they created a piece, art can create an “organic connection” in the community, and that’s part of what CounterBalance Now is trying to do.

“Art has the possibility to awaken in anybody at any time in their life the potential to try something,” Boynton said.

The first Queen Anne performance featuring the Boot Boogie Babes was very popular, with many people stopping to watch the dancers in an outdoor, safe environment.

“What we didn’t want to do is,

trouble catching your breath. Laughter can be a full-body experience.

It can also be really good for your health. Some research has shown that laughter can decrease the number of molecules in the body that make people stressed. Meanwhile, it can also increase immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies that help protect people from getting sick.

Alright, here’s a challenge for you: Try to write up a few jokes of your own. Or check out a book of jokes from your local library. Next, test them out on friends and family, and see

we didn’t want it to be fussy. We just wanted it to be fun,” Boynton said.

CounterBalance Now, however, is not sponsoring events or artists; the effort is only trying to bring awareness and facilitate different opportunities for all types of artists from all the different neighborhoods, Boynton said.

“Our goals, our aims for what we’d like to see is just that elevation and connection to art,” Boynton said.

Not only does creating opportunities and open spaces for artists benefit the community, Boynton said, it helps the artists who have not had many opportunities to promote or show their work in the last year and a half because of the pandemic.

Currently, Boynton said she, Corvi and Bunnell are thinking of ways for artists to show artwork to the community. They are considering everything from online opportunities to having tables set up in front of or inside willing businesses.

“It’s been super cool, and this year, we’re not trying to bring a hard-hitting agenda,” Boynton said. “This is something we’re trying to bring awareness to in our community.”

how they react. Bolls said jokes often work best when there is an element of surprise or when a couple of ideas come together in unexpected ways. Here’s one science joke I found to get you started. Q: How does the moon cut its hair? A: Eclipse it.

Bolls and I want to thank you for helping us take a step back and think about something funny. It’s always fun to investigate the innerworkings of the brain, especially when it’s sparked by a great science question like yours.

Sincerely, Dr. Universe

Statewide mask order now in effect after Inslee proclamation

A statewide mask order, requiring face masks for everyone older than 5 in most public indoor settings regardless of vaccination status went into effect in Washington, Monday.

The mask mandate includes places like grocery stores, malls, gyms and community centers.

Health officials also strongly recommend people wear masks in crowded outdoor settings where physical distancing is not possible. This includes places like sporting events, fairs and concerts.

According to a news release from the Washington State Department of Health, the order, which was approved by Gov. Jay Inslee, “reflects the recommendations of all 35 local health officers in the state of Washington and recent changes to CDC guidance ...”

With the rise of the more infectious Delta variant, every county in Washington is currently categorized as having substantial or high transmission, according to the news release.

According to the press release, the health care system is “under immense strain,” due in part to increased COVID-19 transmission, mostly among unvaccinated people.

Between Feb. 1 and Aug. 3, 94.5 percent of COVID-19 cases who were hospitalized were not fully vaccinated.

“While vaccines are the pathway out of this pandemic, wearing a mask is necessary to stem the current increase in COVID-19 cases, driven by the Delta variant,” Washington State Secretary of Health Umair A. Shah said in a press release. “I appreciate the efforts of those who are already regularly wearing face coverings in public and urge others to join us in taking this critical step to control the virus. Each of us has a part to play to stop the spread of this disease in our communities.”

Some exceptions to the indoor mask requirement include:

* Children under age 5 years of age. However, children age 2 to 4 years old can wear a mask under close adult supervision.

* People with a medical or mental health condition or disability that prevents them from wearing a mask.

* Fully vaccinated workers who are working alone or in an area not accessible to the public.

* Athletes who play indoor sports and who are actively engaged in competition or practice (masks are still required on side-

lines and in team meetings).

* Small indoor private gatherings when everyone is vaccinated.

* Children under 2 years of age should not wear a face covering due to the risk of suffocation.

As well, Inslee announced a vaccination requirement for employees working in K-12 education, most childcare and early learning and higher education, as well as an expansion of the statewide mask mandate to all individuals, regardless of vaccination status.

The governor was joined for the announcement by Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal and Secretary of Health Dr. Umair A. Shah.

K-12 educators, school staff, coaches, bus drivers, school volunteers and others working in school facilities will have until Oct. 18 to be fully vaccinated as a condition of employment.

The requirement includes public, private and charter schools and comes as schools across the state prepare to return for the 2021–22 school year amid rapidly increasing case and hospitalization numbers.

This does not impact students, regardless of age.

“It has been a long pandemic, and our students and teachers have borne their own unique burdens throughout,” Inslee said at the press conference. “This virus is increasingly impacting young people, and those under the age of 12 still can’t get the vaccine for themselves. We won’t gamble with the health of our children, our educators and school staff, nor the health of the communities they serve.”

Inslee also announced a vaccine requirement for employees in Washington’s higher education institutions, as well as for most childcare and early learning providers who serve children from multiple households.

• Childcare providers affected by the requirement include the following groups

• Licensed, certified and contracted early learning and childcare programs

License-exempt early learning, childcare and youth-development programs

• Contractors (coaches, volunteers, trainers, etc.)

Not included in this mandate are providers delivering FFN (family, friends and neighbors) care.
