TEACHING A LOVE FOR THE ARTS

QA teacher leads

Coe performing arts program

By Laura Marie Rivera Contributing writer

Queen An &Ma olia ne Queen

Magnolia resident Krista Carreiro is the heart and soul of Queen Anne’s Coe Elementary School’s performing arts program. She’s been living and working in the neighborhood for the last 30 years but only experienced her largest audience to date — directing her students during a performance at a Mariners game — last Sunday.

Growing up performing

Carreiro, who grew up in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, began her journey in performing arts when she was only 2. Her mother started her in dance classes at a very young age, and she stayed with it all through high school. She said that she was never a very good singer, but she loved it, nonetheless. Soon enough, she was helping to choreograph school musicals and show choir performances. Her commitment paid o when she got her rst job as a summer camp counselor where she got to sing around the camp re and create skits to make the children laugh. is summer job also served as her introduction to teaching while she worked as a lifeguard and a swim instructor. It would be a while, however, before she made her way into her o cial teaching career.

Little League, sports teams struggle with eld problems

By Jessica Keller Queen Anne & Magnolia News editor

e ball elds at West Queen Anne Play eld, more commonly known as Big Howe, have been slated to be modernized for some time only to be delayed by the city, to the consternation of youth athletics organizations.

rough most of the year, Big Howe ball elds are used by youth soccer and boys and girls Queen Anne Little League teams, as well as adult recreational teams.

Former Queen Anne Community Council member and Queen Anne Little League parent Creighton Carroll said

upgrading the ball elds at Big Howe has been on the city’s priority list for 25 years.

e city was set to replace the grass elds with turf in 2020, but because of COVID and other factors, the project has been postponed until 2027.

Frustrated by the city’s inaction and encountering delays, Queen Anne Little League organizers and parents are trying to push up that timeline as the need for modernized elds grows more pressing.

“ e time for us to have this modernization complete is sooner than later,” Carroll said.

Field needs

One of the biggest problems Queen Anne Little League is

encountering is the eld space available in Queen Anne and speci cally Big Howe playelds cannot accommodate the growing number of players interested in players, specically among the girls teams, QALL President Tommy Kim said.

From 2018 to 2023, the number of softball players enrolled in Queen Anne Little League has almost tripled. In 2018, 58 players between the ages of 5-12 signed up. ose numbers have grown each year, reaching 96 players in 2021 and 155 at the start of this season. Five years ago, Kim said, QALL only elded two softball teams; now it has a full slate.

“Basically, what is happening is that we have more teams than ever and the same number of elds.

While this is positive in itself, the Little League has had to adjust schedules to accommodate all the players.

“In order to give the softball teams the same amount of playing time as the baseball teams, we’ve basically had to pull back how many times a week they get to practice,” Kim said.

Before, the older players would practice four times a week, while the younger athletes would practice three times a week. Now, the older players practice for three, and the younger players practice

twice a week.

“ e problem is, there’s only so much space in Seattle, so there’s not many other elds

we can go to,” Kim said. Kim said one

Have you had one of those mornings lately when you say to yourself, “I need to do something else today?”

When you feel incapable of facing your inbox; of accomplishing; a feeling of urgency that causes your chest to tighten even now as you read this. Not that there haven’t been about a million times you’ve felt like this before.

e good news is that whatever you choose to do to keep burn-out at bay, the momentum itself carries you to a better place.

So maybe you jump in the car and head up to the Olympus Spa in Lynnwood and try not to feel guilty about booking the Tropical Korean Moisturizing Service on top of the hot tub soak and body scrub even though it will now cost about as much as ying to Hawaii. Perhaps this is why there is an old Korean proverb that says, “All of one’s physical illnesses come from one’s mind.” However, it does not say that they come from Visa. is omission was helpful in numbing my buyer’s remorse.

Marshall Islands in February and su ering from bed bug bites. But even so, he’ll apologetically pay for my splurge. And I am ne with that.)

Now, today, I am an ocean away from that spa, invited to sign copies of my children’s book at a Honolulu production choreographed by a friend of mine. And on my ride in from the airport, what do I see in a small building behind the convention center? e

Aloha Women’s Spa. I’d just endured a six-hour ight in a middle seat next to a snoring man. I called immediately. I was just holding my breath to see if they could squeeze me in.

Because this island is much closer to Korea, the women in the spa speak little or no English, but we don’t need words to complete the art of give-and-take. It is one of those times when sound, either guttural or melodious, is enough.

And, oh, pardon me for thinking if you’ve seen one Korean bathing spa that somehow you’ve seen them all. e scene inside is right out of an 18th century painting.

“ e family is one of nature’s masterpieces,” the writer George Santayana said, capturing the best de nition of family I’ve ever read.

are escorted to a massage table, a soaking-wet massage table, where a Korean woman in her matching bra and panties will scrub us down until there is not one dead cell left atop our raw pink skin. And no one laughs. Or says a word.

In a hot tub, it’s hard not to overhear, which is good for a writer. Sometimes, though, I wish this wasn’t so. e woman closest to me is talking about the defamation lawsuit made by Dominion, which is suing Fox News, arguing the company knowingly made false claims that its voting machines rigged the 2020 election. “Oh, that’s good,” I say, trying to keep things light, “the truth always wins out in the end.” Prompting her to say, “Eventually, but to no avail.”

Which is just such a depressing thing to say in a hot tub.

I won’t elaborate on how many other depressing subjects the women bring up, but like the earth passing over the moon, all lightheartedness recedes. And what gets me the most is how OK this is with everyone, as if the shortcut rabbit hole of what is wrong with everything, the idea that we don’t deserve this indulgence to be happily here, that to be accountable rst-world women, we must su er the world’s woes at all times, as if we are personally to blame, should be our natural state. And these are women on vacation. Oh! is is something I’ve been wanting to say for so long that I’d nearly forgotten how much.

I make a silent vow to work harder at not being too willingly distracted from what joy there is.

If you’ve never heard of a Korean bathing spa, the Korean cleansing process, called “sesshin,” involves soaking the body in hot water, then rubbing it with a loofah to rid the body of all the dead skin. (Note: you do not want to look at the oor right after they rinse you. Except that you will. And you will not comprehend how all that gunk came from you.)

e whole experience relaxed me in a way that must have been inside of me somewhere; I just had to nd it again. Now, in order to stay relaxed, I thought, basically, all I’d need to do is charge the bill to my husband’s card, the husbandwho-forgot-Valentine’s-Day. (To be fair, he was working in the

To my left is what appears to be a grandmother, rosy-cheeked, sitting on a low stool next to two younger women who look so much like her, they must be her daughters. And scrubbing them are their daughters. I am in awe of how beautifully, comfortably, nakedly, they sit scrubbing each other, laughing and laughing and talking in Korean. And because they are so unselfconscious, you get to see all the good that is possible in a family.

Now, on the other side of the room, a group of Haole women, which is exactly what we are called on this island, so I won’t sugarcoat it, sit in a hot tub waiting for our number to be called. Once it is, we

Because no matter how independent you’ve grown to be, and independence doesn’t run in our culture, it races, sometimes we need more than a hug; we need laughter and a scrub, shared with someone we love. Performed in a warm, wet, nearly perfect place so that we can pretend that the tubs and loofahs and essential oils are still our own little secret that makes us say on the way out the door: Mahalo.

Seattle Public Schools and Seattle Center collaborate on new Memorial Stadium vision

Seattle Public Schools and the City of Seattle have issued a request for proposals for a private partner to replace Memorial Stadium with an innovative new, multi-purpose sports, educational and entertainment venue. e project will focus on expanding the ways the stadium serves students from all backgrounds and will be more open to the Seattle Center campus and integrated with its arts and cultural life.

SPS and the city will review proposals from potential private partners to invest in, design, build, operate, maintain and manage the new stadium, with SPS

continuing to own the facility and maintain priority use. is approach helps SPS pay for the development of the new stadium and eliminates the Seattle School District’s costs to maintain and operate the facility. It also provides for a signi cantly enhanced facility beyond what it could develop on its own for a full range of athletics, graduation ceremonies and other events for future generations. e city and community, too, will bene t from a new multiuse stadium, which will transform the heart of the Seattle Center campus, support a broader range of cultural events, and create new open spaces and Seattle Center

Roasted lamb is an Easter Sunday classic

Courtesy Metro Creative

Easter is a religious holiday that occurs each spring. Easter commemorates and celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is full of symbolism, but it’s also steeped in traditions, including family meals.

Lamb is a popular Easter Sunday meal, and this recipe for “Roasted Lamb with Roasted Asparagus” from “Feast of the Seven Fishes: A Brooklyn Italian’s Recipes Celebrating Food & Family” (Powerhouse Books) by Daniel

Paterna can make for the perfect Easter entree. Lamb is most tender in spring and mild in flavor, and it pairs well with the earthiness of asparagus.

Roasted Lamb with Roasted Asparagus

Serves 8 to 10

Lamb:

1 leg of lamb or loin of lamb, about 4 to 5 pounds

5 garlic cloves, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cups dry white wine

1 fresh bay leaf

4 sprigs fresh rosemary

4 to 5 sprigs fresh thyme

Cut small slits in the meat of the lamb with a sharp paring knife. Insert a slice of the garlic into each slit. Place the lamb in a large sealable plastic bag and add the olive oil, 2 cups white wine, bay leaf, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag tightly and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 12 hours. Remove the lamb from the fridge the next day, at least 4 hours before roasting. Keep the lamb sealed in the marinade bag and allow it to come to room temperature. Heat the oven to 400 F. Remove the lamb from the bag with marinade. Place it on a rack

in a roasting pan. Add 2 cups of wine. Roast for 1 1/2 hours or until the thermometer reads 150 to 160 F. Baste with drippings while roasting. Serve warm.

Asparagus:

4 pounds of asparagus, remove woody ends

2 cups coarse bread crumbs

1 cup grated Romano cheese

2 tablespoons garlic powder

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 large eggs

Sea salt, to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 F.

Place the bread crumbs, cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper in a dish or bowl wide enough to hold the asparagus. Mix well to combine thoroughly.

Put the eggs in another dish or bowl of similar size and beat well. Working in batches, dip the spears into the egg, making sure they are coated well. Immediately place them in the bread crumb mixture and toss until each spear is fully coated. Transfer the breaded asparagus to a large baking sheet.

Place the asparagus in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the breading is browned and crispy. Serve with wedges of fresh lemon.

Seattle Emergency Hubs is hosting a free “Stop the Bleed class” to teach people how to respond to injuries that bleed in the event of an emergency while waiting for first responders. The class will take place from 4:30 p.m. -5:30 p.m. Parkshore Senior Living, 1630 43rd Ave. East, Seattle. To register, go to https://signup.com/go/TbZCBqU

Formal fundraiser to support popular restaurant planned

A black-tie fundraising event to support and raise money for Ms. Helen’s Soul Bistro, a popular restaurant that has plans to reopen in a brick-and-mortar building in the central district, is scheduled for 6 p.m.-9 p.m. April 8 at Midtown Square, 2301 E. Union St., Seattle. The event, which has a Harlem Nights theme, will feature food, drinks and music. General admission tickets are $55 and can be purchased at qrco.de/mhsb.

operations facilities.

Public funds for the project currently include $66.5 million approved by Seattle voters in last year’s SPS capital levy, as well as $21 million from the city, plus another $19 million, which the Seattle City Council expressed its intent to identify no later than 2026. In addition, Gov. Jay Inslee has proposed $4 million in the state’s capital budget which is subject to State Legislature approval this session.

The shared vision for the new stadium will provide for further advancement of educational and racial equity, including opportunities to deepen engagement with Seattle Center’s resident arts, cultural and sports organizations. In support of this vision, SPS and the city seek a private

partner to bring creative approaches to help advance the longstanding partners’ commitment to education and their objectives for fostering workforce development with career technical training in fields such as cultural, culinary and performing arts; science; journalism; sports and sports management.

“Memorial Stadium – and the Memorial Wall, dedicated to honoring alumni who lost their lives in World War II, has historical, experiential and emotional resonance for Seattle Public Schools,” SPS Superintendent Brent Jones said in a press release. “An enhanced stadium would allow the district to provide students with a modern facility for cultural performances, athletic events, commencement ceremonies, and social and educational opportunities. The School District is eager

to demonstrate how this partnership can benefit students and families while improving integration with the Seattle Center campus.”

Several design concepts that reimagine the 76-year-old Memorial Stadium – built on land the city gifted to the district –have been developed over the years as thought-starters, allowing for significantly greater integration with the Seattle Center campus and achieving the goals of Seattle Center’s Century 21 Master Plan. The RFP requires a design that removes the current stadium’s massive, view-obstructing walls; completes August Wilson Way with a long-awaited east-west pedestrian and bike connection across the Center’s campus; creates new public space linking the International Fountain with the stadium; and restores the Memorial Wall.

of installing artificial turf is the lower, main ballfield at Big Howe will be converted from two to four baseball diamonds, which will allow more teams to practice in the week.

Field condition

Installing artificial turf would reduce another problem: rain delays and the damage and erosion rain can cause on the field. Kim said Seattle rain on the grass fields not only reduces the time available for QALL athletes to play and practice because of cancellations and delays in the spring — youth soccer clubs encounter the same issues in the fall — but field quality is also affected as waterlogged fields create messy and muddy conditions.

Compounding that is the damage that dogs have on the fields when owners bring their pets to the ballfields to run around, despite that being prohibited.

When the dogs run around, their claws fling up the dirt and grass, plus they leave holes from digging, leaving teams not able to play on the ballfields. As a result, QALL parents, coaches and players frequently have to grade the dirt and fix the problems before the games, when city staff cannot do so.

“I do sort of want to make it clear that we’re sympathetic to dog owners because they need someplace for their pets to go, but Big Howe is not the right place,” Kim said.

Not only would artificial turf eliminate field damage from dogs, players would not miss so much time practicing and playing because the turf dries faster than water-logged grass and dirt. Kim estimates that turf would be ready for play 30 to 45 minutes after a rainstorm, whereas rain on the grass fields can result in over a day’s delay. Volunteers and city staff wouldn’t have to spend so much time maintaining the fields, either.

Solutions

So far, QALL organizers entreaties to the city have yielded “a lot of encouraging words but nothing concrete,” Kim said.

He said Queen Anne Little League has already committed to fundraising so turf can be installed on the upper field at Big Howe, but nobody from the city has signed off on that idea. Currently, no funding has been budgeted to fix that field.

“It feels like one of the most frustrating parts is we are willing to fundraise and pay for this, but just let us know or give us permission to do this,” Kim said.

In mean time, Kim said parents and sports clubs and athletic supporters will keep pressuring the city to modernize the Big Howe ballfields and possibly convert Little Howe into a dog park.

Carroll would also like for the city to actually police the parks and ticket dog owners who allow their pets to run around on the fields.

It’s important for dogs to have places to run, he said, while pointing out that pet owners need to be responsible and offenders held accountable.

“Dogs aren’t people,” he said. “Children should be the priority.”

Carroll said nothing that has been proposed should be mired in politics, and he hopes the city agrees to pushing up the date to modernize the fields.

He also thinks finding a model that addresses the city’s athletic fields that also satisfies the different stakeholders would be ideal. Then that model could be applied to the rest of the city, he said.

Career journey

After graduating from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia with a degree in clinical psychology, she moved to Seattle with her then-boyfriend, now husband of 30 years. She found work as an apprentice to ceramic artist Carol Gouthro. She enjoyed working with clay but ultimately realized the solitary work of a visual artist was not for her.

“I preferred the community that was a natural part of the performing arts,” she said. A little more than 20 years ago, she gave birth to her rst child, Annabelle, and began her chapter as a stay-at-home mom. And when her son Maxwell was ready to start preschool, Carreiro said she was ready to start a new career. She went back to school to earn her master’s degree in teaching and added a theater arts endorsement.

“I feel very fortunate to have found my rst teaching job at Coe Elementary School,” she said.

For the last 15 years, she has been teaching performing arts, which includes music, dance and drama, to children from kindergarten through fth grade.

Teaching an appreciation for the arts

“I like that I get to introduce kids to a variety of musical genres as well as multiple styles of dance and theater,” Carreiro said. “Even if they never become artists themselves, I hope they will develop a deeper appreciation for the arts because of my program.”

Students hone many 21st century skills by participating in the arts, Carreiro said, adding that creativity, communication, collaboration, perseverance, and the ability to hold a growth mindset are all skills that she keeps at the top of her mind when developing her lesson plans. And she credits the theater curriculum for creating opportunities to incorporate even more social-emotional learning goals, which she said are needed in elementary schools now more than ever to compensate for the time

students spent physically separated from their classmates during online learning.

“It is wonderful to have our Coe Cougars back on the stage,” she said.

She makes sure that each student gets to share their learning in an authentic way by actually performing for the parents and community at one or more of the school assemblies throughout the year.

To further develop the performance opportunities, Carreiro o ers two afterschool clubs. Her company, Popco Productions, popcoproductions.com, o ers a choir and musical theater club. e clubs are at capacity, serving about a quarter of the student body, but she may be accepting students for summer camps at Children’s Dance Workshop,

childrensdanceworkshop.com, the dance school formerly directed by Lynn Beasley.

Busy spring is spring has been a busy time as all of her groups are performing in full productions for the rst time in three years.  e musical theater club will be doing “Junie B. Jones the Musical JR” at Ballard High School Performing Arts Center in June. And on Sunday, Carreiro brought 77 second through fth graders to T-Mobile Park to sing the national anthem for the Mariners’ opening weekend.

She said it was her rst Major League Baseball game, but thought it was an amazing opportunity for the students.

When she was contacted by a Mariners’ representative, she knew her students would be excited to perform at the game. She created an audition of the children singing “ e Star-Spangled Banner” and submitted it. Many other schools applied, and Coe students were thrilled when they were chosen, Carreiro said.

It was a lot of work for her, however, as there were a lot of logistical challenges that went into preparing for the event. Besides teaching the song and directing the choir, Carreiro coordinated tickets orders, answered parent concerns and kept the students busy for the two and a half hours between the sound check and actual performance time.
