Queen Anne resident now serving community after 22 years in military

Veterans Day important to Navy vet Robert Kettle

By Jessica Keller Queen Anne & Mag News editor

After 22 years spent proudly serving his country as a U.S. naval intelligence officer, Queen Anne resident Robert Kettle is looking to how he can best serve his community outside the military.

Kettle said he is proud to have served his family’s adopted country as a first-generation U.S. veteran who comes from a long line of military veterans, including his paternal great-grandfather and grandfather, who served in the two world wars.

Kettle joined the Navy as an officer because he had graduated from Boston University with a degree in political science-international relations focus, and a career as a naval intelligence officer seemed to be a good way to continue his interest, he said.

He did tours in Europe, Asia and the Middle East and grew an even greater appreciation for all the work that goes into keeping the country and the world safe.

“Being an intelligence officer allowed me to have that varied career,” he said.

Since Kettle was in intelligence command, he said his experience was different from others, although he was in dangerous situation. In one of his deployments to Iraq, four people in his unit died, something that affects him to this day.

Kettle said this Friday, which is Veterans Day in America and Remembrance Day in the British commonwealth, he will think about those soldiers who died, while remembering and honoring the ones who served.

Remembering those who lived, especially those who were injured in war, is something Kettle feels strongly about on Veterans Day. While Memorial Day is for remembering the dead, Veterans Day is about honoring those who served.

“Nobody who goes into the military comes back the same way,” Kettle said.

Generation X veterans like himself share an unusual experience. They are the bridge between newer vets and the veterans of previous foreign wars, like Korea and Vietnam. And although Generation X veterans served in any number of wars and conflicts, unlike the veterans who came before, Kettle and others like him received a warm welcome home and respect from the public.

I didn’t know how to respond. She added, “Ye-es?” before I could. She seemed a little nervous about my “love marriage.” I didn’t want to tell her, or not yet, that I’d met my husband while hitchhiking Highway 101. He pulled over and, quite literally, picked me up.

I think back to that question, how I paused, and in my hesitation, I realized we were taking our first leap of faith, when we both recognized how, if we were to become friends, we’d need to jump from two very different starting points over a vast cultural divide.

So that’s what we did. We jumped. Being who I am, though, it didn’t feel like a jump, it just felt like being curious in a city where 40 percent of the foreign-born tech employees are from India. At first, we struggled to share the everyday in an everyday way. Our exchanges tread carefully, not even close to the kidding around we manage now.

And on that first meeting, before I could put romantic love into words for her, I was busy asking myself should I say something funny? No. Serious, then? No, again. Elaboration wouldn’t do. It was a simple question in need of a simple answer. “That’s right,” I said, finally. “A love marriage,” and because I couldn’t stop myself, I started to sing, “All you need is love, love. Love is all you need.”

Tilting her head to the right, she responded, “Ye-es?” lengthening the sound into two syllables again, making more of a question out of the word and, though not intentionally, more of a clown out of me. Funny, funny me. My stomach flip-flopped. Humor can be the most difficult disconnect between cultures; it really can. Luckily, with no reluctance — none — Amargit moved us onto safer ground. “Sanelli,” she said, “you have a beautiful voice, yes?” Honestly, if diplomacy could speak, it just had.

It was Super Bowl Sunday. We were at Macy’s downtown. (I miss that store. I miss willing myself, sometimes successfully, not to linger in front of the shoes. Or the handbags. Or the jewelry bling always on sale, before taking the escalator up to the second-floor loo.) I was shopping for nothing, really, but Amargit was working, rearranging clothes on a rack. “You don’t like football?” she said, grinning. And when she pronounced her name, I pretended to grasp the sound, straining to remember it.

invited my love marriage, Larry and me, for dinner at their home on their one day off a week. If they take it. They and their two college-age sons (their education the reason the family immigrated) live in a basement apartment north of the city. As soon as I entered, I wondered if maybe this is why she’d hesitated inviting me here, needing time to make sure I’m not the kind of person who’d snub someone who lives in a two-room apartment off Aurora.

That night I was shocked to learn something else Amargit hadn’t disclosed. In India she didn’t need to work. By Indian standards, she had plenty of money. She employed several “domestic servants” (I admit, I gasped when she used the words) who waited on her family’s every need. Which all sounds very un-Seattle-PC, I know, but what better example of how much she wanted to ensure an American education for her sons. And now they, Amargit and Tito, husband and wife, work six, seven days a week waiting on others. The feast spread out for us remains one of the eating peaks of my life. Which led to a story about how Tito removed his turban and cut his hair the first day on American soil, a ponytail that, since boyhood, wound around his head several times underneath his headdress. How relieved he felt. “I was freed from a religious and cultural law,” he said, “and much cooler. Life is more fair in America.”

Ah, yes, it is. Here is where I could have said how unfair it is that he still wouldn’t allow Amargit to go out alone, other than to work. Nowhere with me, certainly, not without him or my husband tagging along. And what fun is that? (Just kidding!)

But I decided not to wave my independent-woman flag so soon. Though I detect a bit of mellowing on his part. His younger son’s girlfriend joined us, an Afghan student who proudly told us that, yes, they date without chaperones. In a single generation, everything can change. She also told us how she, her parents and six sisters had left Afghanistan.

“Did you flee? I asked.

“Oh yes,” she said. “We took an airplane.”

“No, I mean from us, the Americans?”

“Oh, yes. There were many bombs.”

Another bomb, of course, was my question. But she was warm, not offended. Bless her for that. And later when I baptized Tito “old-fashioned,” he laughed. “Yes,” he said. “I am very ancient.”

From the start, we intrigued each other. She wanted to learn more about the freedoms of American women now that she is one (I like to remind her), and slowly, over the years, we’ve chipped away at the bulk of our differences, only to find that underneath we are just two women who want to talk, laugh, complain, share. Four words that I believe are the definition of intimacy, the meaning itself. If lucky, we find it in a friendship. If really lucky, in marriage.

Now, I like to remember what was a big, big day for Amargit and me, when she and her husband, Tito,

State land agencies announce Discover Pass free days for 2023

Submitted

The Washington State Discover Pass Program has designated the Discover Pass free days for 2023. On these days, visitors will not need a Discover Pass to park at Washington state parks and on recreation lands managed by Washington Department of Natural Resources.

The 2023 Discover Pass free days are:

• Jan. 1 — New Year’s Day and First Day Hikes

• Jan. 16 — Martin Luther King

Jr. Day

• March 9 — Billy Frank Jr.’s

birthday

• March 19 — Washington State

Parks’ birthday

• April 22 — Earth Day

• June 10 — National Get Outdoors Day

• June 11 — Free Fishing Weekend

• June 19 — Juneteenth

• Sept. 23 — National Public Lands Day

• Oct. 10 — World Mental Health Day

• Nov. 11 — Veterans Day

• Nov. 24 — Autumn Day

For 2022, Billy Frank Jr.’s birthday, Juneteenth and World Mental Health Day replaced a

springtime day (the first Saturday in April), National Trails Day (the first Saturday in June) and National Park Service’s birthday (Aug. 25).

State lands free days align with 2011 legislation that created the Discover Pass, which costs $30 to $35 annually, or $10 to $11.50 for a one-day visit, depending on point of purchase. The pass is required for vehicle access to state recreation lands managed by Washington State Parks, WDFW and DNR. The Discover Pass legislation directed State Parks to designate up to 12 free days when the pass would not be required to visit state parks.

Seattle Giving Garden Network provides fresh produce to the food insecure

Vine ripened tomatoes. Just harvested basil. Vitamin rich greens. Beautiful beets. Seattle Giving Garden Network helps serve as a connector for hundreds of individuals and gardens dedicated to the growing and giving of organic fresh produce to Seattle food banks, street kitchens and other food pantries.

SGGN is a volunteer organization that provides seeds, vegetable starts, network opportunities and small financial grants for individual gardens. Within Seattle’s P Patch Community Garden system, there are over 85 gardens that participate in a growing and giving program.

SGGN has an annual seed giveaway event at which gardeners may select any seeds they want for their gardens. Seeds are donated by local companies and gathered by SGGN volunteers. Last year more than 8,000 seed packets were collected for the seed give away and distributed across the state with the help of Northwest Harvest.

Starting in February, teams of volunteers with Ballard Sprouts, a SGGN project, grow vegetable starts at three donated greenhouse spaces. Last year over 22,000 plant starts were distributed to giving

gardeners, providing them a major head start on the growing season.

SGGN also has a small grant program through which funds are provided to individual gardens for tools, compost, raised bed repair and other small projects.

SGGN receives no direct funding from any government source. All funding is obtained through their annual fund raiser. SGGN operates under a fiscal sponsor -

Seattle Pacific University athletic director resigns

Jackson Stava has announced his resignation as Seattle Pacific’s athletic director to accept a job as senior associate athletic director at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

Stava has served as AD for the Falcons for 6½ years, arriving on campus in July 2016.

“I remember on my interview here saying that I was looking for a school that was a wonderful academic place and had a history of excellence academically and athletically,” Stava said. “I love the West Coast and wanted to be on the West Coast. At that point, I felt I needed to stay in the world of Christian higher education. Seattle Pacific checked all of those boxes.

“It has been a wonderful 6½ years working in that context,” he added. “I’ve loved every second of it.”

San Luis Obispo is just 10 to 15 miles from where his parents and family live and is closer to his wife Melissa’s parents in San Diego. The city is on the central coast of California, almost centered between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

“For us, it was the opportunity to have our kids grow up around their grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins,” Stava said. “That draw to family was really a critical piece of this decision.”

Stava will remain at SPU through early to mid-December. The school is hosting the NCAA Division II Fall Sports Festival on Dec. 1-3, during which national champions in men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, and women’s field hockey will be crowned.

The school will conduct a national search for his replacement.

Make dinner memorable with manicotti

Few cuisine styles are as diverse and beloved as those that have been exported from the Mediterranean nation of Italy. From pasta to pizza and everything in between, the rich and savory flavors of Italian cuisine

are enjoyed across the globe. Italian restaurants can be found in many cities and towns throughout the world. However, it’s just as easy to create traditional, mouthwatering dishes at home with simple ingredients. Manicotti is a popular pasta dish that can be filled with cheese or other ingredients,

and topped with a traditional tomato sauce or other saucy creations. The word “manicotti” is the plural form of “manicotto,” which translates to “little sleeves” in Italian. They’re meant to be stuffed and baked.

While manicotti may seem complex, they’re rather easy to prepare. Enjoy this recipe for “Mom’s Homemade Manicotti with Crepes (Crespelle),” courtesy of the blog 3 Italian Sisters (3italiansisters.com). They present well for the holidays or any special occasion.

Mom’s Homemade Manicotti with Crepes (Crespelle)

Yields approximately 20 crepes

Serving size: 2 to 3 crepes per person

Crepes

• 4 extra large eggs

• 1 cup flour

• 1 ¼ cup whole milk

• 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil

• 1 teaspoon salt

• Butter for pan

Ricotta filling

• 3 pounds part skim or whole milk ricotta cheese

• ½ cup fresh parsley, minced

• ½ cup grated pecorino romano cheese

• 2 extra large eggs, scrambled

• 1 pound mozzarella cheese cubed

• Premade tomato or meat sauce

1. Put all the crepe ingredients into a blender. Blend till smooth; scrape sides if necessary and blend again till all ingredients are blended well.

2. Melt a little butter in a 9-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat.

Pour in small amount of batter and swirl to cover bottom of it with a thin film. Cook for approximately 20 seconds and turn to the other side and cook for another 20 seconds. Transfer crepe to plate. Continue until all batter is finished. Crepes can be stacked on top of each other. 3. If you aren’t using them right away, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for 3 days or freeze for up to one month.

4. Ricotta filling: Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl and set aside to fill crepes. Take 1 tablespoon of ricotta filling onto each crepe and roll gently and place on a cookie sheet, seam side down.

5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Layer large casserole pan with your favorite tomato or meat sauce. Place single layer of rolled manicotti in the casserole pan on top of sauce. Ladle thin layer of sauce on top of manicotti and sprinkle with additional mozzarella cheese.

Bake in the oven for 25 minutes, or until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted.

Hmong New Year Celebration offers food, music and dance at Seattle Center

Seattle Center Festál continues with the Hmong New Year Celebration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Seattle

Center Armory Food & Event Hall. The free festival, open to the public, is produced in partnership with Hmong Association of Washington.

Hmong New Year Celebration

celebrates the end of the harvest season with traditional dances, Hmong food and intricate textile clothing.

This year’s focus is on Hmong arts and culture and includes a

schedule of songs, youth dance performances and musical acts, according to a news release.

The Hmong New Year Celebration was created to thank ancestors and welcome a new beginning. Traditionally, this celebration lasts for 10 days, but has been shortened in the United States. This is the last Festál festival of the year.

The Hmong people are an ethnic group who have maintained their own language, customs and ways of life, while adopting the ways of the country

in which they live. The Hmong do not have a country of their own, according to the release.

The Hmong Association of WA started in 1983 to serve the Hmong American community in Washington. Today, based on the last census in 2010, there are more than 2,400 in Washington. HAW aims to preserve and promote Hmong culture and education in the community and advocate for the Hmong people.

Washington revenue up $126 million since September forecast; recession fears loom

By Brett Davis The Center Square

Washington state’s revenue collections since the September forecast are $126 million, or 6.3 percent, above expectations. But that good news at Friday morning’s Economic and Revenue Forecast Council’s virtual meeting was tempered by concerns about the heightened risk of a recession.

In the parlance of ERFC Executive Director Stephen Lerch, Washington had “a positive variance of $126 million.”

Despite the uptick in revenue, Lerch pointed to monthly data through September from the U.S. Census Bureau showing residential construction activity in Washington and the U.S. has trended down since July, a possible indicator of a slowing economy.

“What you can see is really since about the middle of summer, the trend is certainly downward,” he told the council. “So, we are starting to see, really, a slowdown in construction activity for both single- and multifamily homes.”

Mirroring a national trend, Seattle home prices declined in June, July and August, according to information Lerch presented from the Case-Shiller Home Price Indices.

“Again, on a year-over-year basis, they’re still growing,” Lerch said. “They’re still higher.”

He provided some context regarding home prices.

“In August of this year, prices were

certainly still on the order of 11 percent above where they were in August of 2021,” Lerch explained. “But as the sidebar notes, we’ve now seen a couple of months where prices have actually come down. So, they’re still above their year-ago levels, but we’re seeing a couple of months where home prices are starting to come down a bit.”

Concerns about a possible recession permeated Lerch’s presentation to the council.

He pointed to several factors stoking fears that an economy already beset by record-breaking inflation and high gas prices could get worse, including the rise in interest rates, several polls of economists that indicate they think a recession is coming, and a leading indicator hinting at a downturn in the business cycle.

“We’re expecting that ultimately, the federal funds rate will get to a range of four-and-half to four-andthree-quarters of a percent by March of 2023, so that is pretty consistent with what the Federal Reserve said,” Lerch stated.

On Nov. 2, the Federal Reserve approved a fourth-straight rate hike of three-quarters of a percentage point as part of its plan to bring down inflation.

Lerch pointed to a canvassing last month of a number of economists — including a Blue Chip Survey, a Wall Street Journal Forecasting Survey, and a Bloomberg Economist Survey — that show a majority of respondents anticipate a recession in the next year.

“And you can see these are rather

pessimistic views,” Lerch noted.

Also suggesting a recession is on the way: the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s composite leading indicator for the U.S., which includes housing starts, new orders for durable goods, stock prices, interest rates, consumer confidence, and weekly hours worked in manufacturing.

“It’s supposed to give a sense when the business cycle is turning,” Lerch explained. “In other words, some sort of advanced warning of recessions. And you can see, the last three recessions, it certainly has turned down prior to the recession, and we see that it is turning down now.”

That doesn’t assure a recession is on the way, he said.

“But we can also see some periods where it has turned down and a recession did not happen imminently,” Lerch said. “This does not guarantee a recession, but it would certainly be one indicator that a recession may be coming.”

Despite signs the economy is slowing and the threat of a recession, it wasn’t all bad news.

“On the upside, we could see some improvements in labor productivity, which would among other things, help with lowering inflation and would keep the economy going at a bit stronger pace,” Lerch said.

The next monthly revenue collection report will be out on Nov. 14. The final revenue forecast of the year is set for Nov. 18.

KETTLE, FROM PAGE 1

Continuation of service

Since retiring from the military in 2012, Kettle has dedicated himself to continuing his service, within his community, something he encourages veterans to do. He recently left the Queen Anne Community Council to free up his schedule but is active in the Ballard Eagleson VFW Post 3063.

While the post is active, Kettle said he would like more veterans to join, specifically later Generation X veterans and younger military members just getting out.

Kettle said becoming a member of the VFW or supporting local VFWs is a way to continue serving. His VFW frequently hosts events benefitting the community, such as blood drives and fundraisers.

Joining the VFW is also good for veterans because they interact with people who share similar experiences, even if they don’t

talk about it.

“It provides a space for people who have gone through the same things,” Kettle said. “It’s a great community asset.”

Kettle has also been active in lobbying the Seattle school district, city and Seattle Center to take better care of Memorial Stadium and the memorial wall, where the names of all the over 750 young men from Seattle who died in World War are listed. While the area surrounding the wall is much cleaner than it was, Kettle said he hopes plans to renovate the stadium through a successful school district levy passage and partnership with the city include a better design for the memorial wall, which now abuts a parking lot. He said he would like the area surrounding the wall to be more contemplative and solemn, a memorial that respectfully recognizes the young soldiers.

“It’s really important to treat that right,” Kettle said.

One project Queen Anne veteran Robert Kettle feels strongly about is raising awareness of the memorial wall at Memorial Stadium. He wants a proposed capital project funded through the school district to give wall more honor than abutting a parking lot.

Washington wildlife department holds invasive species awareness art contest

By Lawrence Wilson The Center Square

Washington high schoolers can win up to $500 from the Department of Fish and Wildlife in a digital art contest featuring invasive species, cosponsored with the Washington Invasive Species Council.

The purpose of the contest is to raise awareness about plants, animals and other organisms that originate outside the state and disrupt the natural environment causing environmental and economic harm.

Exotic species often outcompete native plants and animals and are costly to control.

Examples of invasive species include the Egyptian grasshopper, recently sighted in Everett; the giant Atlas moth (with a wingspan up to 10 inches), which was seen in Bellevue in July; the emerald ash borer, an invasive insect that has decimated ash tree populations in 35 states and was sighted near Vancouver in July; and the European green crab, which multiplied over 5,000 percent in Puget Sound last year, prompting Gov. Jay Inslee in January to order that emergency measures be taken to eradicate it.

Winning art entries will be used to decorate a WDFW trailer that will travel the state to raise awareness of nonnative species. The trailer will also include pictures WDFW’s invasive mussel-sniffing dogs

Puddles and Fin.

“Staff from both WDFW and WISC travel to many communities to educate people about the dangers of spreading these species from one area to another,” Justin Bush, executive coordinator of WISC, said in a statement. “This trailer will allow them to do that more effectively and bring attention to the issue with its eye-catching art.”

The contest is open through Dec. 31. Submissions must be digital art format and can include graphic designs, photographs, illustrations, cartoons, digital paintings or other digital art form.

Each submission must include pictures or information on one or more non-native species that has been or could be introduced to the region.

A list of invasive species can be found on the WISC website.

The first-place winner will receive a $500 Amazon gift card. A second-place winner will receive a $300 Amazon gift card. Other entries will be viewable on the websites of the WISC and WDFW.

Full contest rules are available on the WDFW and WISC websites.

Throughout the years, she has worked many different jobs and enjoys her current role being responsible for crane safety at the Queen Anne construction site and working in an industry that includes a lot more diversity.

Goering’s first exposure to the world of construction was when she was a little girl. Her father was a site superintendent for Turner Construction Company and would take her to work with him on Saturdays. Back then, there were not a lot of women in the construction trades, so she has been really happy to see more women joining the profession.

She began her construction career as a laborer — doing concrete pours, digging and cleaning up the sites. Then she started to work on her 3-4 years of operator’s apprenticeship with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 302, a union representing around 14,000 workers from Washington, Idaho and Alaska. Being a crane operator was not Goering’s favorite job, however, because she was spending too much time sitting in the operator’s cab. Instead, she prefers to stay active as the rigger. She spends her day hook-

ing things up, teaching others how to rig things and “making sure all of the lifting is done right,” she said.

Safety is the No. 1 concern as crane operators make up to 50 “picks” in a day. This Queen Anne crane is a tower crane and can do picks ranging from 10-pound picks of tools up to 13,000-pound picks of heavy equipment.

As her job description has grown and evolved, so has the industry as a whole. Goering said, at one point, she “was the only female on a site with 500 people.”

As the construction world has slowly expanded, Goering said she is proud to be out there as a reminder to other women that they work in construction, too. She has even made progress advocating for more inclusive clothing in construction. Carhartt is one of the top outfitters for the construction industry.

“I used to call them and tell them that we need women’s clothes,” Goering said, adding clothing options for women has grown through the years.

Scott Donder, the 21Boston site superintendent, said there is a greater shift in the industry that features more women and minorities.

“We have found it to be amazing.”

He said people can see Goering

every morning and throughout the day at the Queen Anne construction site because “every pick is monitored by Rachel.”

In addition to Goering’s management and attention to detail, he said there are many other safety measures in place at the site.

In the case of strong winds, workers would not be operating the crane. But the design of the crane allows it to move with the winds, hence the term weather-vaning. By allowing the crane to move with the wind, it reduces pressure on the crane and can prevent damage. There is also an automatic override to serve as a containment for the loads. It is equipped with an auto shut-off that ensures no equipment will be suspended over the street or sidewalks or come too close to the power lines.

Donder began his career in construction after graduating from Colorado State with a degree in construction management. After a decade of project management experience in Los Angeles, he came to the Pacific Northwest and made the switch to the superintendent’s office. Some of his other duties at the site superintendent include site organization, managing complex schedules and ensuring safety of the site, crew,

community and neighborhood.

Recent schedule efforts have included completing the site excavation and getting to work on the substructure, which has meant a lot of concrete pouring. A big day at this site can include up to 65 concrete mixer trucks. Each truck carries about 10-12 cubic yards of concrete. Donder said as construction centers on the concrete foundation, workers have to remain mindful of the weather conditions. A little bit of rain during the placement is not a bad

thing, however. Concrete cures as it hits the ground.

Both Donder and Goering are enjoying this project in Queen Anne and find the neighborhood to be friendly and a nice place to hang out at the end of a workday. They take pride in their work keeping the community safe and enjoy answering questions from the community.

“I love it when the kids come around staring over the fence,” Goering said.
