Finding a new path with art

ArtHOME community hub launches at Seattle Center

By Laura Marie Rivera

Contributing writer

Last Saturday, Path with Art, an organization dedicated to healing the effects of trauma through arts engagement and community-building, celebrated the grand opening of ArtHOME — a community arts hub at Seattle Center.

ArtHOME is stationed on the ground floor of Plymouth Housing’s newly completed Kristen Benson Place (200 Mercer St). The building offers 91 housing units for formerly unhoused neighbors. The community arts hub features 4,800 square feet of multidisciplinary art studios, gallery and recording facilities built to serve thousands of low-income individuals and community members, according to a news release.

The shared goal of ArtHOME is to connect arts, culture and social service to create a place for communities to come together.

The grand opening celebration included art-making workshops from Path with Art’s community of artists, as well as music, food, and dance. A large crowd gathered to visit the new space, listen to music and poetry, participate in a sweepstakes to win a signed Pearl Jam guitar and to hear remarks from some of the people who helped make the space a reality.

Discovery Park celebrating 50 years with day of activities

By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor

Residents are invited to celebrate Discovery Park’s 50th anniversary with family activities and educational tours and programs in Magnolia this weekend.

Activities will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at different locations in the park. A shuttle bus will be available for transportation to different areas.

Becca Reilly, senior recreation program specialist for Carkeek and Discovery parks, said planning for this weekend’s festivities began more than a year ago and that organizers put much

thought into the programs and activities on tap.

“This event has really been spearheaded by the committee and community organizations and other nonprofits and friends of groups that all love Discovery Park and wanted to see a big event happen to celebrate 50 years,” Reilly said.

Wildlife, historical and park enthusiasts have a number of activities from which to choose, from guided tours of trails, to presentations on the history of the park and its development.

Inslee’s office doesn’t rule out broad-based tax relief

By Brett Davis | The Center Square

Two things happened Sept. 21 that could make Gov. Jay Inslee more amenable to supporting broad-based tax relief for inflation-battered Washingtonians during next year’s legislative session.

On that day, the Washington Federation of State Employees announced a tentative agreement with the state — the result of secret negotiations between the two — that the union called “the largest compensation package in our union’s history.”

The tentative agreement includes a $1,000 incentive payment for getting a COVID-19 booster shot and a 4 percent raise for employees on July 1, 2023, followed by a 3 percent raise on July 1, 2024.

The Office of Financial Management estimates that cost information for the tentative agreement will be posted to its website on Oct. 3.

Later that day, the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council released figures showing revenue projections for Washington’s current two-year budget period increased by $43 million more than projected in the last quarterly update. The September revenue forecast essentially showed the state is about $1.5 billion above expectations for the 2021-23 budget since the February revenue forecast.

The Center Square reached out to the Governor’s Office to ask if Inslee would consider supporting broad-based tax relief — such as a cut in the sales or property tax when legislators meet next year — given state coffers are full and that in clandestine negotiations he has already agreed to a compensation increase for state government employees.

“The collective bargaining process has been consistent across administrations,” Jaime Smith, Inslee’s communications director, told The Center Square via email.

The Legislature used to decide compensation packages

for state employees as part of public budget hearings.

Then-Gov. Gary Locke signed legislation (House Bill 1268) into law that gave state employee union executives the power to negotiate directly with the governor behind closed doors for salary and benefit increases. He signed it in 2002. The law went into full effect two years later.

Before that change, collective bargaining for state employees was limited to non-economic issues such as work conditions. Salary and benefit levels were determined through the normal budget process in the Legislature.

Lawmakers will have the opportunity to approve or reject the entire agreement between the WSFE and Inslee. But to reject it would court the possibility of a government strike.

During an appearance last week on TVW’s “Inside Olympia,” Sen. Andy Billig, D-Spokane, said broadbased tax relief was on the table for next year’s legislative session.

“We want to ... provide relief, but do it in a smart way so that we’re being good stewards of the public’s money and making sure we’re getting the best possible bang for that investment,” the Senate majority leader said.

The governor’s spokeswoman boosted one bit of targeted tax relief signed in 2021.

“The Legislature did approve the Working Families Tax Rebate that will put hundreds of dollars back into the pockets of hundreds of thousands of families in this upcoming tax season, and is an on-going program,” Smith said.

The Working Families Tax Credit, a targeted tax relief program, goes into effect next year. It will distribute $300 to $1,200 to those who qualify.

Smith didn’t completely shut the door on the idea of Inslee supporting broad-based tax relief next year.

“We will work with legislators this session to determine how to continue supporting families and communities during these economically challenging times,” she said.

SERVING THE FAMILIES OF QUEEN ANN E SINCE 1991 1905 Queen Anne Ave N • 206.282.8275 www.QueenAnneChiro.com

With the general election less than two months away, State Sen. Andy Billig, D-Spokane, and state Rep. Jacquelin Maycumber, RRepublic, discussed their respective parties’ priorities for the upcoming 2023 legislative session on TVW’s “Inside Olympia” earlier this month.

Reforming the state’s drug laws, protecting abortion rights, and consideration of broad-based tax relief are on the agenda for next year, according to Senate Majority Leader Billig.

Billig said he favored an approach that relied less on a law enforcement approach and noted it would require more services for helping those battling drug addiction.

“I just think we need to take that treatment approach, that health approach, and be able to have the tools to be able to help incentivize people to go there,” he said.

Billig earlier touted the Working Families Tax Credit (passed in 2021, goes into effect next year), projected to save an average of $1,200 to those who qualify, and legislation passed by lawmakers and signed into law this year by Gov. Jay Inslee eliminating the B&O tax for businesses that make less than $125,000 in gross receipts.

“It will be one of the big issues we work on this year,” he said in reference to a further legislative response to the state Supreme Court’s 2021 decision finding the simple drug possession law unconstitutional because it did not require the state to prove intent — in this case, knowledge of possession of a controlled substance.

The ruling came in the case of a Spokane woman, Shannon Blake, who had received a pair of jeans from a friend that had a small bag of methamphetamine in a pocket.

In April 2021, the Legislature passed Senate Bill 5476, reclassifying drug possession as a gross misdemeanor with fines up to $125. Per the bill, first- and second-time convictions that occurred before the Blake ruling would be vacated in retrial and defendants referred to

In light of the U.S. Supreme Court decision earlier this year overturning Roe v. Wade and sending the abortion issue back to the states, protecting abortion rights in the Evergreen State is a priority for Democrats during the next legislative session, according to Billig.

“The most important thing is that we keep pro-choice majorities in the Legislature, and so that will prevent us from having any rollbacks because we do have good laws related to abortion access and reproductive rights in Washington state,” he said.

Citing an influx of people from other states — including next-door Idaho, where a near-total ban on abortions is now in place — Billig said more needs to be invested in reproductive services in Washington.

He went on to say Democrats are working on legislation that guarantees access to contraceptives, as well.

“So what we want to do is provide relief, but do it in a smart way, so that we’re being good stewards of the public’s money and making sure we’re getting the best possible bang

Republican House Floor Leader Maycumber listed public safety, broad-based tax relief, and education as her party’s priorities next session.

There was some agreement between Maycumber and Billig in terms of responding to the Blake decision.

“We have to have the framework in place to be able to help people who are suffering mental health and addiction,” she said. “We don’t have that. We don’t even have the workforce. But to say, ‘You suffering on the streets is human because we don’t want to criminalize it’ is not fair.”

Maycumber also said a law passed last year restricting police’s ability to engage in vehicle pursuits to specific violent crime or sex offenses needs to be dealt with.

“Pursuit does need to be fixed,” she said.

On the issue of broad-based tax relief, Maycumber advocated for a 1 percent cut in the state sales tax in response to record-breaking inflation that is causing high gas and grocery prices.

Seattle School Board redistricting underway

The community is asked to provide feedback on the draft map available on the district website, https://www.seattleschools.org/about/school-board/ redistricting/, at a public hearing that will be held as part of the School Board meeting this evening.

The seven Seattle School Board director positions cover different geographic areas in the city but are charged with representing all schools. During a primary, School Board candidates are voted on by those living within their district. In the general election, all positions are included in the citywide general election.

Book It Repertory Theatre is offering Spanish-captioned performances of “In The Time Of The Butterflies” this month. As Spanish is the second-most-spoken language in the country, Book It Repertory Theatre has committed to offering performances to an audience that might not otherwise be able to attend live theater in their preferred language.

The play is Caridad Svich’s adaptation of a novel by Julia Alvarez and is directed by Ana María Campoy. It is set in the Dominican Republic and focuses on the Mirabel sisters during President Trujillo’s authoritarian reign. This production runs until Oct. 16. Spanish captioned performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Oct 1 and 2 p.m. on Oct. 15. Visit book-it.org to purchase tickets.

The Seattle School Board has begun a redistricting process to reset the boundaries for each of the seven Board of Directors’ districts. Director district boundaries are different from school attendance area boundaries. This redistricting process will impact only the boundaries for director districts and will not affect where students go to school.

Every 10 years, Seattle Public Schools is required to revise these boundaries, following the U.S. Census, to ensure the director districts are of nearly equal population. Directors elected in 2023 and beyond and voters for the primary must reside in the specific director district.

Legally, the School Board must approve the redistricting plan by Nov. 15, 2022. No School Board positions are on the November 2022 ballot.

Life Well Celebrated

A favorite chocolate flavor shines through

By Metro Creative Services

So many people love to indulge in rich chocolate every once in a while. It’s certainly possible to tempt that sweet tooth by visiting a neighborhood candy shop. But it’s just as easy to experiment in the kitchen with homemade confections.

This recipe for “Force Noire Ganache” from “Chocolate Obsession: Confections and Treats to Create and Savor” (Stewart, Tabori and Chang) by Michael Recchiuti and Fran Gage showcases the predominant taste of rich chocolate and not much more. It’s certain to melt in the mouth.

Force Noire Ganache

Makes about 50 dipped squares or round truffles

• 1/2 cup (4 ounces) heavy whipping cream

• 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons (4 1/2 ounces by weight) invert sugar (stir before measuring)

• 1 Tahitian vanilla bean, split horizontally

• 12 ounces 61 to 70 percent chocolate, finely chopped

• 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) unsalted butter with 82 percent butterfat, very soft (75 F)

• About 1/4 cup melted tempered 61 to 70 percent chocolate, if dipping squares

• Tempered 61 to 70 percent chocolate for dipping squares, or unsweetened natural cocoa powder for rolling truffles

1. Stir the cream and invert sugar together in a medium saucepan. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the bean into the pan and then add the bean. Bring to a boil over medium heat, remove from the heat, and cover the top of the pan with plastic wrap. When the cream has cooled to room temperature, transfer it to a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight.

2. Line the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with plastic wrap.

Put the chocolate in a medium stainless steel bowl and set the bowl over a pot of simmering water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate melts and registers 115 F on an instant-read thermometer. Lift the bowl from the pot.

3. When the chocolate is almost at 115 F, remove the cream from the refrigerator. Strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a small saucepan and heat it to 115 F, stirring occasionally. Pour the chocolate and cream into a 1-quart clear vessel. Blend with an immersion blender using a stirring motion, making sure you reach the bottom of the vessel. The ganache will thicken, becoming slightly less shiny, and develop a puddinglike consistency. Add the butter and incorporate it with the immersion blender.

4. Pour the ganache into the lined pan. Spread it as evenly as possible with a small offset spatula. Allow the ganache to cool at room temperature until it has set two to four hours. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you are ready to dip squares or roll truffles.

5. Lift the square of ganache from the pan, turn it over onto a work surface, and remove the plastic wrap. If you are dipping

squares, apply a thin coat of melted untempered chocolate to one side of the ganache square with a small offset spatula. (If you are making truffles, don’t apply the chocolate coating.) Let the chocolate harden. Turn the ganache square over and trim the edges. Cut the ganache into 1-inch squares with a knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry before each cut and wiped clean after each cut.

6. If you are dipping squares, temper the chocolate and then dip the squares. Store the dipped chocolates in a cool, dry place (not in the refrigerator).

If you are making truffles, dust your palms with cocoa powder, roll the ganache squares into balls, and then coat with cocoa powder. Place the truffles in a bowl or plastic bag that contains enough cocoa powder to keep them from sticking together. Store in the refrigerator, but remove 30 minutes before serving.

Fall rituals: Finding next year’s dahlias

As I write, the autumnal equinox is upon us — the day when light and dark are served in equal measures. It’s the perfect reminder that fall is coming and with it my annual fall rituals.

Rituals might be too heady a word. These rituals don’t involve dancing in the moonlight so much as scouring plant catalogs for seeds, spring bulbs and dahlias.

Erica Browne Grivas Get Growing

September is a perfect time to evaluate your garden’s dahlia game and scout for new recruits. Late August through early September is the time of festivals offered by dahlia societies and growers. If you missed these, don’t worry. This year was a slow one for dahlias, thanks to the endless and clammy spring we had, so there are still

scads of blooms to enjoy at public gardens.

Trial gardens are perfect places to find your new favorites.

The Bellevue Botanic Garden and Volunteer Park have dahlia trial gardens planted by the Puget Sound Dahlia Association that will have blossoms to astound and delight. The show should go through October (or when the membership digs the tubers up for storage). Another trial garden is at the Point Defiance Park in Tacoma.

If there is a downside, it’s that some of these dahlias are so new they’re unavailable in the trade. I’m waiting for “Sandia Gold,” which I spied at the BBG in 2021.

I think that’s what the washed-out marker on the stake read, anyway. It looked like a

cabbage rose in butterscotch — minus the blackspot. Let me know if you see it.

The good news is that if you fall for some of these dahlias and they have been introduced for sale, you can likely find them at one of the PSDA’s sales around town next March. Botanical gardens’ regular displays, such as at the BBG and the Center for Urban Horticulture, usually have established varieties nicely tagged.

There’s a lot to love about dahlias. The more you cut them, the more flowers they send out. They aren’t prone to many pests or diseases, although it can be helpful to protect emerging tubers from slugs with cloches or slug bait and provide good air circulation to avoid powdery mildew. Dahlias also are promiscuous plants. Like a potato, one tuber can produce 20 or 30 more in a season. This makes them an economical crop if a variety is a reliable tuber-producer. With the pots in my driveway, I should be able to start a small dahlia farm in the next two seasons.

president, and Holly Jacobson, Path with Art CEO, welcomed the crowd and introduced the other speakers.

“The arts — in a safe and welcoming community — help people heal, connect and thrive,” Jacobson said. “The ArtHOME will provide an inclusive community arts hub for people to come together to write and rewrite their own narratives and connect to each other through creativity. There really is an alignment right now between the need for community recovery and Path with Art’s mission.”

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell was on hand to sing the praises of the program and said that there could be no economic recovery without the arts. Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal was celebrated for securing federal funds for the Arts Recovery Project.

“The new Path with Art space in Uptown is a great addition to our community,” Seattle District 7 Councilmember Andrew Lewis said. “Their classes, mentorship opportunities and programming will change lives for years to come.”

ArtHOME’s fall programming starts in October, and registration is open now.

Path with Art partners with more than 60 social services agencies. Adults who are affiliated with these organizations and are veterans or earn less than $25,000 are eligible to register. Participants must also refrain from using drugs or alcohol during Path with Art activities.

Programs include art classes, a choir, open studio sessions and a Peer Leadership Program that offers members certificates and an opportunity to develop their voice in the Speaker’s Bureau.

Bayview certification a win for a more-inclusive community

The aging journey can be complicated, challenging, surprising and can also bring great freedom and joy. However, for LGBT+ elders, the complicating and challenging factors are compounded by issues arising from caregiving, discrimination, and health care, as well as HIV/ AIDS and more.

According to SAGE, the country’s oldest and largest non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBT older adults, here are some of the challenges faced by LGBT elders:

• LBGT individuals are more than twice as likely to age alone and four times less likely to have children. LGBT elders become caregivers at a greater rate than their heterosexual counterparts. More than half of LGBT elders receive care from their partner, and a quarter receive care from a friend.

• As well, LGBT caregivers tend to have less social support and experience greater isolation, thus experiencing worse health outcomes. Also, LGBT elders are more likely to suffer poor health at younger ages due to experiencing a lifetime of discrimination and harassment.

• LGBT elders are less likely to connect with care providers, senior centers and other aging resources out of fear of discrimination and harassment. Nearly one-third of transgender elders do not have a regular doctor.

• HIV disproportionately impacts the LGBT community, and the number of LGBT elders with HIV is continuing to increase as it becomes more of a chronically managed health condition.

• In addition to health care discrimination,

LGBT individuals and couples often face discrimination when seeking senior housing, whether that discrimination is coming from staff, management, service providers or other residents, and nearly one third fear needing to re-closet themselves when seeking housing.

In spite of the many challenges our LGBT elders face, many are also living purposeful, thriving lives, having pushed back at the Stonewall riots and uniting to win gains in marital and adoption rights, eradication of housing discrimination and more.

Bayview’s recent SAGECare certification is an important step on our journey to create opportunities for transformational aging for all elders. SAGECare provides LGBT competency training and consulting on LGBT issues to service providers.

While Bayview has always welcomed LGBT residents, our recent platinum-level certification gives all of our managers and staff training to help us become an even more inclusive community, not only for our growing LGBT residents but for our growing LGBTQ staff. Together, Bayview and SAGECare will continue our partnership to serve people with the best care possible and make each older person feel comfortable for who they are.

(As a postscript, you may wonder where the “Q” in LGBT went in this article. Now that we are SAGECare certified at Bayview, any staff person can tell you why the Q is dropped in this context. Give us a call to learn more about Bayview and our SAGE certification.)

Cogir residents enjoy fruits of their labor at summer sangria party

Cogir of Queen Anne

Special to the QA&Mag News

Cogir of Queen Anne Senior Living and Seattle-based Eldergrow launched a blossoming relationship this spring and collaborated on a fun summer event in August.

Cogir’s residents made sangria with fresh herbs they grew in their Eldergrow indoor culinary herb garden.

Eldergrow, an award-winning company now serving senior living communities around the nation, offers therapeutic gardening programs to seniors in residential and skilled communities. Eldergrow’s team brought ingredients to make summer sangria featuring the herb of the month, scented geranium, with help from Cogir of Queen Anne residents.

The residents helped chop up fresh fruit and added grape juice and a scented geranium syrup made from herbs grown in their Eldergrow garden. Residents reminisced on their vacations to Spain and learned about the origin of the tasty summer libation.

Cogir’s partnership with Eldergrow showcases their dedication to their mission — enriching lifestyles and encompassing

care for residents. Studies show that therapeutic horticulture reduces depression, improves balance and lowers risk factors for dementia by 36 percent. The event turned out to be a great success, with many residents and staff requesting seconds and thirds of the yummy sangria prepared by their friends.

Cogir of Queen Anne maintains its garden and therapeutic program through Eldergrow’s Herb-of-the-Month program. The community receives fresh herb deliveries and “Around the World” curriculum every month and will conduct ongoing cooking and herb activities with residents.

The larger varieties can grow six feet by three feet from a cold start in April. None of this slows down my search efforts for the next great dahlia. Instead, I enjoy giving the extras away to friends and neighbors.

One of my favorite questions I get at the nursery is: “Are dahlias annual or perennial?”

To which my answer is, “Yes.” Or if I’m feeling less sassy, I’ll say, “It depends.”

Hailing from Mexico and Central America, dahlias crave hot weather and excellent drainage. Here in Seattle, this means a gritty hillside facing south or west is their happy place. Soggy soil will melt them like chocolate chips in a microwave.

They can also overwinter in pots — if they neither freeze nor get overly wet. This means that besides having excellent drainage, the pot needs to be just-right sized — not so big comparative to the tuber(s) that it rots in the excess soil, and not so small that it freezes from the lack of soil insulation. That’s why people keen on the tubers’ survival, like the PSDA, dig up the tubers before frost, brush off the soil, label and store them in wood shavings in a cool dark place such as a garage.

I’ve learned a lot of this the hard way. There’s questions about when to plant them, where and how.

First, I planted tubers in March in the cold, wet ground, never to see them again. I learned

that my back yard has one dahlia-friendly spot where they will return. Other spots, while sunny enough for raspberries, will still rot out dahlias. My sandy south-facing front yard is great for dahlias.

Another year, I planted them in pots indoors to keep all the way until April, but the pots were too big and many never sprouted, or else were delayed a full season. I’m only now seeing the first blooms on some tubers planted in spring 2021. This year, I had much better results planting single tubers in 4- or 6-inch pots indoors and transplanted to 1-gallons outside when they got big enough — and the world got warm enough.

Recently, I became interested in the smaller single-flowered dahlias, which have a delicate charm compared to the billowy, bold double “dinnerplates” because they feed pollinators best. I’m in love with “Kelsey Annie Joy,” a sorbet confection in pink and yellow, but also the wildly contrasting “Pooh” — a traffic sign in red and yellow that you can see from space. Then there’s the other myriad forms — little button “Valley Rust Bucket,” 2-inch spiral balls in pumpkin, or full-blown “Fairway Spur” — with mango flowers as big as a newborn’s head, it looks like a ruffled prom dress. “Crème de Cassis,” a 5-inch waterlily, brings all the drama with lavender petals framing a blackberry eye. “A la Mode” is a longtime favorite in my garden — striped in persimmon and cream, it adds excitement to any arrangement.

I welcomed the puff-balled singles

“Anemone”-style dahlias that look like the hottest new echinaceas but that come with a simpler owner’s manual. “Totally Tangerine” is orange with golden stamens, while “Mexico” is purple with a gold center expanding like its own galaxy.

Some of my choices are heirlooms, like “Kaiser Wilhelm,” a ball of yellow dipped in wine, and “G.F. Hemerik,” a beautiful single in the clearest orange. Both were from the historic conservationists at Old House Garden,

an online catalog.

You can wait for mail order in December or January, or for nursery tuber sales in earliest spring through April. Online ordering gives you the pick of the world’s varieties. Several growers attend the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, too. For instant gratification, however, some growers, like Dahlia Barn in North Bend, offer dahlias for sale now that you can be picked up or mailed in April. Just saying.
