Fundraiser organized to benefit Magnolia couple who lost house in mud slide last week

Queen Anne &Magn
A Gofundme account has been set up to benefit a Magnolia couple whose house was destroyed following a mud slide on the hill behind their home on Perkins Lane, Friday.
James and Didi Fritts sustained minor injuries, but both of their dogs perished when their house slid off its foundation and col-
lapsed on itself during the mud slide. Jamee Dunn, who organized the gofundme to benefit her friends, said the Frittses are staying with friends while they look for a new place to live.
According to the gofundme description, Didi was reaching for the front door handle when the top story of their house crashed down. She crawled to safety, but James Fritts was trapped under a refrigerator, which fell on his legs.
Firefighters extricated James Fritts and also put out a small fire that broke out, presumably when the house collapsed.
Dunn said in the gofundme description that the Frittses lost almost all of their belongings in a matter of minutes.
“If you see the house, the first floor where they were has been flattened, and they cannot believe they are alive,” according to the gofundme.
According to the gofundme, the Frittses had lived in the house for 10 years, but insuring it for mud slide damage was not an option. The fundraiser will help the couple pay off their home loan and also replace their belongings.
As of Monday afternoon, almost $100,000 had been donated for the couple.

Dog park proposal moves forward
Queen Anne &Magnolia Queen Anne &Magnolia
Residents will have plenty of opportunity to comment
By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor
An application asking Seattle Parks Department staff to consider creating an off-leash dog area at David Rodgers Park in upper Queen Anne has been submitted to the city.
Don Harper, chairman of the Queen Anne Community Council Parks Committee, sent off the paperwork Thursday morning after the QACC approved sponsoring the application, with more than 10 members in favor.
Pursuing a possible off-leash dog area in David Rodgers Park is part of an effort to give residents on Upper Queen Anne a sanctioned place to let their dogs run around without breaking leash or park rules.
At a parks committee meeting in December, Harper said, without an easily accessible off-leash area at the top of Queen Anne, pet owners have resorted to letting their dogs off-leash at all the local parks and athletic fields, despite it not being permitted. As a result, Harper said, the quality of the parks and ball fields are deteriorating because dogs tear up the fields and turf and, in some cases, make the play fields unusable.
“I will say that the more OLA’s that we have, the greater the chance we have of saving our parks,” Harper said at the December Parks Committee meeting. “Our parks are being ruined by the dogs off leash in them.”
The proposal, however, has at-

tracted a fair number of opponents, many of whom are neighbors to David Rodgers Park.
Prior to Wednesday’s meeting, a letter signed by people calling themselves Friends of David Rodgers Park, was submitted to the QACC opposing the OLA.
“Queen Anne has a lot of parks, many of them with great views in addition to sports fields and playgrounds,” according to the letter. “But David Rodgers Park is special; its intended purpose is more expansive. It does not
have the views, but instead it has nature. Come to this park for the walking trails that begin at the more landscaped top section of the park and wind through a natural habitat setting, loaded with native plants, trees, naturally felled trees that create log bridges and the blackberry bushes that are great for foraging. Creating an Off Leash Area (OLA) would completely change the sense, purpose, intention and feel of this unique park.”
Since last week, more than 60
people have signed the letter, with residents who do not support an OLA establishing themselves as Stewards of David Rodgers Park. Amy Carlson, a member of the Stewards of David Rodgers Park who submitted the letter to QACC, said before the Community Council vote last week that the park is enjoyed by many residents and home to a number of wildlife, including coyote and barred owls.

Seattle Shakespeare Company announces indoor 2022 performances
Seattle Shakespeare Company will return to indoor performances with a series of productions this year.
“Shakespeare: Drum and Colours,” an ambitious, alternating repertory of two Shakespeare classics pared to their essence and featuring an all-POC company, will perform in late winter 2022.
Spring 2022 features the rescheduling of a previously COVID-cancelled production of “Much Ado About Nothing.”
“We’re deeply aching to be back on stage again and are doing everything we can to make that happen,” Artistic Director George Mount said in a press release.
“This past summer’s outdoor Wooden O show told us just how much our audiences want to see live theater again. Nearly every park we performed at had more than double the number of patrons that we typically see during the summer. We can’t wait
to welcome our audiences back to theater.”
Managing Director John Bradshaw said staff have been evaluating HVAC systems, lobby traffic patterns and safety procedures to ensure patrons are safe while attending shows at The Center Theatre, according to the press release.
Seattle Shakespeare Company has implemented a mandatory vaccination policy for all employees, volunteers, patrons and
visitors to the Center Theatre as well as mask requirements while in the building. For the 2022 indoor season, all shows will only be available for single-ticket purchase.
“Shakespeare: Drum and Colours” is an adaptation of two of Shakespeare’s plays — “Hamlet” and “As You Like It” — that will alternate performances.
The production features an all-POC Shakespeare repertory company that includes nine ac-
tors, two directors and an allPOC design team.
:Shakespeare: Drum and Colours” will run in repertory Feb. 15 through March 13 at Center Theatre at Seattle Center.
“Much Ado About Nothing” will perform April 26 through May 22.
Tickets for “Shakespeare: Drum and Colours” are on sale now. To purchase tickets, go to www. seattleshakespeare.org, or call the ticket office at (206) 733-8222.

Climate solutions can’t wait
Editor,
What a year it has been. In Magnolia and Queen Anne, along with many others in the Pacific Northwest, we experienced extreme heat, wildfire smoke, flooding from “atmospheric rivers” and record-breaking frigid temperatures. Climate change is here, and it is time to prepare for what’s coming while we work on ways to limit further damage caused by extensive fossil fuel use. One particular proposal before the Washington Legislature can move us forward on that path.
Thirty years ago, Washington passed the Growth Management Act to help cities and counties accommodate rapid growth, while protecting vibrant cities, working farms and forests, healthy rivers and mountains and a beautiful rural landscape. But in the face of climate change, the GMA needs

Legislation to do that, H.B. 1099, has been introduced in the Washington State Legislature. It anticipates the need for a new comprehensive climate solution to build more resilient communities throughout the state.
Under HB 1099, cities and counties will be asked to upgrade their land use and transportation planning to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build more livable and connected communities that don’t rely exclusively on private car transportation.
In addition, under HB 1099, Washington communities will begin to mitigate and protect against the impacts of a changing climate, including efforts to protect communities from wildfires, drought, landslides, flooding, sea level rise

It is important that this legislation pass this year so that Washington counties and cities updating their comprehensive plans starting in 2024 have time to implement these new requirements.
This proposed legislation is supported by several local organizations, including the Audubon Society, the League of Women Voters, the Washington Environmental Council and many others (see http://www.futurewise.org/ projects/washington-cant-waitcampaign).
Some time ago, I decided that I would substitute my despair about climate change with efforts to mitigate the impacts — at whatever level I could.

How are baseballs made?
There are a lot of steps that go into making a baseball. As we investigate this question, we’ll focus on the ones made for Major League Baseball.
My friend Lloyd Smith, a mechanical engineer and director of the Sports Science Laboratory at Washington State University, told me all about it.
A while back, he had a chance to visit a facility in Costa Rica where they make MLB baseballs. Smith said it begins with a small sphere called a pill, which has a cork center and a couple of rubber layers.
The pill helps with elasticity — that is, how the ball bounces back up after you bounce it on the ground. The pill gets put into a bin of adhesive, which is sort of like a tacky glue, before it gets wrapped in wool yarn.
If you’ve ever tried to wind up some yarn into a ball, you know that it isn’t always easy to get it into a perfect sphere. The facility uses special winding equipment to wrap the wool yarn into a nice, spherical shape. They wind it three different times with very particular kinds of yarns. The exact way they wind up the yarn is top-secret information, Smith said.
Next, the ball is wound in a layer of cotton and it gets another layer of tacky coating. This tacky coating will help attach the cotton to the outer layer of leather. A machine cuts out white leather panels that will fit just right around the baseball. The panels are soaked in water to soften them up and make it easier for people to mold around the baseball.

also features a playground, three tennis courts, public rest rooms, a bigger set of swings and paths that eventually lead to the Queen Anne Bowl.
“If you have not taken a walk recently in David Rodgers Park, I urge you to do so and think of the impact a fenced-in area would have on this well-used park,” she said.
Last week’s vote is only the first step to create an OLA at David Rodgers Park, however, and a successful outcome is not a foregone conclusion.
First, the Parks Department has 30 days to respond to the application. If the proposal is accepted, a formal application will be submitted, starting a process that will take over a year to complete and include a number of opportunities for people to support or voice their objections.
Even then, an OLA would open as a pilot program for 18 months to ensure things are running smoothly and address any problems that arise, QACC board member Sharon Levine said last week. If those issues can’t be resolved, it is possible the OLA would be closed.
Levine also reiterated this could be the last opportunity for an OLA in Upper Queen Anne.
“There are always going to be pros and cons in each of these [efforts], but we’ve pretty much run out of possibilities in the upper Queen Anne area,” she said.
To read the entire off-leash area application process, go to https:// www.seattle.gov/Documents/Departments/ParksAndRecreation/ PoliciesPlanning/NewOLAPreliminaryProposalPacket.pdf.
Finally, there is the sewing. This was one of the steps that amazed Smith the most on his tour. The workers stitch the balls by hand with long pieces of a red-dyed thread. Each baseball gets exactly 108 stitches.
At this point, the thread is still a bit raised on the surface of the baseball. To smooth out the surface, the ball goes into a wooden piece of equipment that flattens out the seams. Even a seam that is just a little too high can add to the drag, or slow down the speed of the ball. They’ve got to get everything just right.
“There’s so much interest in the ball and so many conspiracies that if anything changes in the game, they sometimes look at the equip-
ment,” Smith said. “People will take these balls apart and look for any differences.”
Smith also adds that about 55 percent of the baseballs from the facility will end up in an MLB game. In a single game, players will use dozens of baseballs that came from the facility. The remaining baseballs are often sent out to shops where fans can buy one.
Now you know there’s a lot more that goes into making baseballs than meets the eye. It’s something to think about the next time you are watching — or maybe even playing — the beloved sport of baseball.
Sincerely,
Dr. Universe
Seattle Art Museum presents water-themed exhibit in March
The Seattle Art Museum presents Our Blue Planet: Global Visions of Water, March 18 through May 30. According to a press release, the exhibit explores the many ways artists around the world have engaged with the theme of water.
The exhibition features works from SAM’s collection and three local lenders, with over 80 works of art from 16 countries and seven Native American tribes, including video, sculpture, textiles, paintings, ceramics and photographs.
The works date from ancient to contemporary times, including work by 46 living artists and two contemporary works acquired specifically for the exhibition.
Our Blue Planet is a collaboration among three SAM curators: Barbara Brotherton, curator of Native American Art; Natalia Di Pietrantonio, assistant curator of South Asian Art; and Pamela McClusky, curator of African and Oceanic Art.
In the early months of the pandemic, museums and galleries around the world were impacted by exhibition schedule disruptions; SAM began to plan for a future special exhibition primarily relying on its wide-ranging, global collection that would respond to an urgent and relevant topic, according to a press release.
According to the press release, the curators worked closely with many of the living artists on view to develop the themes and points of view in the exhibition. Many of the artists’ thoughts will be represented with labels in the galleries.
The artistic responses to water found in Our Blue Planet range from wonder and awe to anger and revelation, inviting viewers to learn, dream and engage their empathy to cre-

ate social and environmental change, according to the press release.
“We sought to present diverse perspectives on water, with works from the museum’s collection — from Durer to Hiroshige to Bierstadt — placed alongside younger artists whose work has often not been shown in the Pacific Northwest before,” McClusky said in the press release. “Our Blue Planet
offers reminders of the great pleasures water provides while also turning to artists who help us face the impact of our species on the planet. Indigenous artists in particular offer long-term visions of what is just and sustainable, as we all face increasing environmental emergencies.”
