Edward Jones financial advisor April Connell shows off her office at 319 W. Galer St. in
By Daniel Warn
QA&Mag News editor
April Connell is the only female Edward Jones advisor on the hill in Queen Anne.
“I feel like a lot of industries are trying to make a push to expand and have more females present,” Connell said. “There is still a long way to go, but I will say that Edward Jones is making good strides in deepening their female presence.”
She said that she doesn’t feel like her gender gives her a specific edge on the competition, but that as a woman, she says she cares and feels that caring for others is ingrained in her.
“Sometimes someone might feel more comfortable confiding in me,” she said. “Maybe I might be a better listener than others, who knows? There’s not necessarily an edge, but maybe a softness.”
When she started her professional life, she said had no plans to become a

Folks may not be evicted during winter months starting in December
Seattle City Council passed legislation that will create a moratorium on winter evictions during the months of December, January and February.
This legislation is targeted for winter months because in December, January and February temperatures regularly fall into the 30s overnight.
Just before the ordinance passed 7-0, with councilmem-
bers Lorena González and Debora Juarez excused from the meeting, councilmember and ordinance sponsor Kshama Sawant congratulated her colleagues on a job well done.
“At the end of the the day, what we will have achieved if this legislation is voted through is landmark legislation that has no precedent in the country and in fact very little precedence in the world, because as far as we know, only the country of France has something similar,” she said.
“This is huge, and I think we should be proud of our movement for this.”
While introducing the legislation, Sawant detailed a study jointly issued by

Why are bears called bears when they can be called anything else, not just a bear?
You’ve noticed something very important: there’s no natural reason for the words humans use. Any sound could be used to describe a big mammal that eats berries and salmon.
But people who speak English choose “bear.” People who speak Spanish use “oso.” People who speak Maricopa say “maxwet.” They’re all different, but they’re all correct.
That’s what I learned from my friend Lynn Gordon, a linguist at Washington State University.
“Why do we call bears ‘bears’?” she said. “Because we’ve agreed to.”
Humans have a unique knack for speech. They talk about things in the past or future. They make up new words. They even say things they’ve never said before (like you did with your excellent question).
Dr. Universe, a grey cat with a lab coat, in a hero poseTo be understood, speakers of a language agree about its rules. This happens very early, when a baby is first learning to talk. When you were little, you learned by listening to others. You agreed to your language’s rules without even thinking about it.
“Most of what we know
about culture people didn’t teach us,” Gordon said. “They acted it out in front of us and we absorb it by being human. We’re driven to absorb the culture and language around us. Our brains are built that way.”
That’s how English speakers have passed down the word “bear” for generations. We don’t know exactly how or when the first word for bears was created. But linguists can hunt for a word’s history by looking at its relatives.
English, German, and Dutch are like cousins. English speakers say “bear,” Dutch speakers say “beer,” and Germans say “bär.” These languages sound similar because they share an ancestor – ProtoGermanic, an old language that isn’t spoken anymore.
Others look farther back at Proto-Indo-European, ProtoGermanic’s ancestor. This language had a different word for bears: “*rtko.” That’s where the Ancient Greek “arktos” and Latin “ursus” come from.
Before “bear,” Old English speakers used “bera.” This word may come from the ProtoGermanic “*berô,” meaning “the brown one.” Others think “*berô” might be related to the Latin “ferus,” making it mean “the wild one.” We don’t have any written examples, so linguists use an asterisk (*) to show it’s their best guess.

West Seattle’s Lowman Beach Park will be the beneficiary of a shoreline restoration project thanks to a couple grants given to Seattle Parks and Recreation.
The first grant, of $500,000, has come from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office. A second grant of $525,000 from the King County Flood Control District to Seattle Parks and Recreation will also go, in part, to the project. Lowman Beach Park beach restoration will receive $450,000 of this second grant, with $75,000 remaining earmarked for a feasibility study on shoreline improvements to where Scheuerman Creek discharges in Discovery Park.
The restoration efforts will be as a result of the removal of a historic seawall, according to David Graves, strategic advisor with Seattle Parks and Recreation.
"When the park was built in the '30s… they built a seawall that went from the north end of the park, all the way down to the south end of the park," Graves said. "They built a
tennis court, and they built a swing set."
The seawall held for a couple decades, but it was eventually replaced.
"In the '50s, the north section of the seawall failed and they built a new seawall," Graves said. “In 1994, the south half of the seawall failed and we just took it out and created the beach that you see there today."
Graves said that by the Thanksgiving storm of 2015, the remaining north half of the seawall began to fail, as it was moving outward from the shore.
The removal of the remaining seawall will have a positive effect on the shoreline, he said, because bulkheads typically cause ecological problems.
"From a strictly habitat per-
spective, the vast majority of all of West Seattle has concrete bulkheads along the shoreline” Graves said. “Concrete bulkheads refract the wave energy. They tend to not have a lot of shallow water in front of them. They're not really good for… salmon — they like shallow, sloping beaches, natural habitat."
According to the Lowman Beach Park Restoration Basis of design document published by Seattle Parks and Recreation in spring 2019, the project “will substantially improve the natural coastal process at the site while also improving the beach access opportunities at the park.”
In addition to removing the failing seawall, Seattle Parks
But how could “*rtko” become “*berô”? It’s possible people didn’t want to say a bear’s true name out loud, so they said “the brown one” or “the wild one.” People might have been afraid of warning bears they hunted, or calling bears to attack them.
That part of the history involves a lot of guessing. But
it’s clear “*berô” became “bera,” and “bera” became “bear.” All of this shows languages change over time. It’s normal for words to shift in sound and meaning. It’s even normal to create new words. Humans move around, meet new humans, and borrow words as they go. They agree to the rules, but the rules can change. So whether you call me “cat” in English, “gato” in Italian, or “kedi” in Turkish, it’s all right by me.

Ron Petelle passed away on October 19, 2019 at the age of 76. We will miss the twinkle in his eyes when he teased you, his endless funny stories, his yummy soups on a cold day and his love for his wife, children and grandchildren.
He was born in Mount Vernon, Washington and attended grade school in Bellingham. In 7th grade his family moved to Ballard. His junior year at Ballard High School he met Donna, the love of his life, at a friend’s party, and they have been inseparable ever since.
After high school he went active duty with the US Navy where he served three years in Southern California. Upon returning to Seattle he worked construction, then moved to Washington Natural Gas (Puget Sound Energy), where he worked for over 30 years.
Ron loved fishing for both salmon at Point No Point and Shilshole Bay, and trout at Pine Lake. He was happiest on the water or sitting on the dock fishing with his son or grandchildren. He supported his family in their many endeavors, from coaching his son’s soccer team to assisting his daughter’s, or cheering on the grandchildren from the sidelines. Once retired he could often be found in the kitchen whipping up a new soup recipe.
He is survived by Donna, his loving and devoted wife of 57 years; daughter Dawna Petelle-Moini; son-in-law Mehrdad Moini; son Peter Petelle; daughter-in law Ilsa Petelle; grandchildren Ariana, George, Nick, Natasha, Mason and Sydney; his sister Brooke Stevens and brother Kirke Anderson. He was preceded in death by his son Brian; his brother Gordon Petelle, sister Bobbie DeAngelis and his parents Peter and Josephine Petelle.
Memorial services will be on February 22nd at 11AM at Bethany Presbyterian Church at 1818 Queen Anne Avenue N, Seattle. Reception to follow in the Fellowship Hall.

Kaiser Permanente opened a clinic in Ballard last month, designed from the bottom up for residents who call Ballard their home.
Trina Davis, medical director of innovation and business development for Kaiser Permanente Washington, and a family physician, said that Ballard people love Ballard and that Kaiser wanted to respect that as much as possible with the design of the clinic.
“Here at Ballard, when Kaiser decided that it would open a clinic in the Ballard neighborhood, we wanted to be really thoughtful and attentive to the location,” Davis said. “So we engaged in a process called ethnography, which is going above and beyond typical market research, doing intensive, in-depth interviews with over 100 people, and polling those members and bringing them into our design process.”
The ethnography process confirmed that Kaiser would be moving into a neighborhood passionate about local sights and culture.
“One of the main things we heard in all of that research was how important it was… that we show up in a way that was authentic to Ballard,” she said. “We want to be attentive and sensitive and not come
EVICTIONS, from Page 1
“This study found that nearly 90 percent of people evicted become homeless and that people of color were disproportionately, in fact, overwhelmingly were the ones who were evicted,” Sawant said. “More specifically, black
in like a big corporate brand, trying to just copy and paste an experience. Everything from the art on the wall, which is all local Ballard sights, to the color scheme were all informed by the place where we are.”
According to a press release announcing the clinic’s opening, Kaiser members will have personalized choices for the care patients will receive, with access to lab services, radiology, pharmacy, physical therapy, mental health, chiropractic care, obstetric, pediatric and primary care all on one campus.
The Ballard clinic is located on the fifth floor of the Ballard Blocks 2 retail complex at 1401 NW 46th Street in Seattle.
“This clinic was built to meet the needs of Ballard and nearby neighborhoods,” said Dr. Hannah Burdge, Chief of the Ballard Medical Center, in the press release. “As a resident of this neighborhood, I’m so proud to be part of the team bringing Kaiser Permanente medicine to this community, to serve current and welcome new members.”
Davis explained how the typical patient journey would progress starting even before a patient enters the clinic.
Before each appointment, patients can receive a digital bar code that they can conveniently scan upon arrival to check in. There is also a patient
tenants experienced eviction at a rate 4.5 times what would be expected based on their demographics in Seattle.
She said that most Seattle tenants are evicted for not paying their rent, or for being short on rent.
“In most cases the study found that evicted tenants owed one month or less in rent,” Sawant said. “In one case, the tenant was evicted for owning $10.”
access representative available to check-in the old fashioned way, but Davis said the point is to give members the option.
“You come in, you check in and you take a seat,” Davis said. “Within a couple minutes, your healthcare guide would come and get you.”
Davis said that a health care guide is a new role at the Ballard Clinic.
“It is like an advanced medical assistant,” she said. “It’s someone who has all the skills to room you and take your blood pressure and all that, but they also have some training in health coaching and system navigation.”
This means that if a person’s doctor says they need to eat less salt, the healthcare guide will sit down with a patient and explain what foods have a high amount of salt in them and make a plan for follow-up care.
The next stop on the patient journey is the rooms that the guide will take the patients to.
“In this exam room… our chair is also a scale, so you don’t have to go out in your gown and get weighed in front of a bunch of other people,” Davis said. “You just sit down, they push a button and we tell you how much you weigh.”
The rooms each have a large screen in them where the guides will sync their laptops to while writing in each
Sawant went on to say that an eviction can be a death sentence, with the study finding that out of 2017 evictions, six Seattle tenants died during or right after evictions.
Four of these individuals committed suicide, she said, one died of an accidental overdose the day after being evicted, and one tenant died during the eviction process while receiving hospice care.
According to Sawant, the study also found that at least nine people who died homeless on the street in 2017 had an eviction filed against them in the three years preceding their deaths.
“The data are a brutal inditement of a private housing market that is dominated by corporate landlords who care more about profit than housing people,” Sawant said.
Several amendments to the ordinance passed prior to the vote.
One amendment, put forth by councilmember Andrew Lewis, was to create a framework for a mitigation fund that people facing an eviction could have access to in order to pay unpaid rent.
“Under this amendment, we would establish a mitigation fund,“ Lewis said. “It would only be accessible to folks who establish this defense. And I think it is important that when we talk about this moratorium,
patient’s chart. This way, each patient can see in real time what is being input into the system about their visit.
The screen can also be used to bring up educational materials or be used to help children feel more comfortable in the exam room.
“We curated five videos of local natural things to entertain kids while they are waiting,” Davis said. “So we’ve got footage from the Woodland Park Zoo of the baby giraffe. We’ve got footage of the Seattle Aquarium with the otters playing. Just things that are interesting and entertaining, but not like over stimulating.”
Then, when the provider comes in, the guide will
when are really talking about a defense in an eviction proceeding as where it’s applied.
“In a case where a tenant facing an eviction is able to establish this defense, this would then exist as a fund that could be accessed by the tenant in order to pay rent or access additional rental assistance.
Lewis said that up to half a million dollars would have to be put aside in the fall budget to make this mitigation fund fully effective.
This amendment passed 7-0.
Councilmember Alex Petersen put forth an amendment to the ordinance that would exempt small landlords — those who own four or fewer units — from the legislation.
“The amendment I think is important to exempt them because they do face economic hardships as well, in terms of being able to provide those units to the housing market. They do have a mortgage. They do have utility bills, property taxes…”
Sawant disagreed, saying that it would be an unfair burden to put on the detrimentally affected party to figure out whether they are eligible to take advantage of the legislation.
“This is unfortunately an example of a politician proposing a policy to benefit those who already have more than most at the expense of poor
perform a warm hand-off and detail what the patient came in for and the concerns of the patient all while the patient is sitting and observing. Once the provider finishes up, there will be another warm hand-off back to the guide to facilitate the patients’s care plan. Another aspect of the Kaiser model is the collaboration space for staff.
“All of our providers and nurses and guides work together in a colocation,” Davis said. “So there are no provider offices on purpose, because working together allows for a more real-time collaboration.” Call 206-397-5360 for more information.
and working class people with really no data or evidence to support it,” Sawant said. “The point remains that the small landlord that this amendment is intended to help is entirely hypothetical.
“But the tenants whose lives are being destroyed and whom this amendment would not help — that’s very real,” she said.
The amendment passed with a 4-3 vote.
Councilmembers Tammy Morales, Lisa Herbold and Sawant opposed.
Herbold then put forth an amendment that expanded language already in the bill.
“Currently a reason for termination that is exempt from the bill includes unlawful behavior, and this amendment would expand unlawful behavior to a particular type of lease violation and specifically impacts the health or safety of other tenants or the owner.”
Sawant and Morales opposed the amendment, but the rest of the council voted it in. Sawant said that the language could give landlords the grounds to evict someone by saying that they attracted unsafe vermin to the building, or hung out with dangerous people.
(StatePoint) Screen time is a hot topic for parents and researchers alike. While digital devices are the norm, and children can certainly use them to their benefit, parents can also help children learn healthy digital habits.
Research is still working out the long-term impact of devices on kids. Here’s what’s known so far, and what you as a parent can do about it.
• Devices Before Bed = No Sleep: It’s undisputed: when it comes to bedtime, devices are a big no-no. According to
Hoag Medical Group, devices are known to emit a specific light wavelength that messes with sleep patterns. Doctors recommend that kids don’t use devices for at least one hour before bed.
The fix: At night, stick to the basics. Read to your children or tell them a bedtime story. When they’re old enough to read to themselves, encourage them to stick with the habit of curling up with a good book before light’s out.
• Screen Time Linked to Depression and Anxiety: Ac-
cording to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics, kids who spend a lot of time in front of screens are at a greater risk for emotional issues and low self-esteem. This is in part because the more time kids are spending in front of screens, the less time they’re spending doing healthy activities like socializing or being active. Additionally, certain content can increase anxiety, particularly social media.
The fix: Distract kids with fun, thought-provoking alternatives. Whether it’s a trip to
(StatePoint) While the majority of the more than 25 million Americans living with asthma enjoy active, healthy lives, for others, severe symptoms are part of daily life, despite using high dose asthma medicines and avoiding triggers. Does this sound familiar? If so, you could have severe asthma, a type of asthma that affects approximately 5-10 percent of those with the condition. Increasing the risk of death, illness, and depression, and limiting the ability to work or go to school, severe asthma is dangerous, and is responsible for 50 percent of all asthma healthcare costs. Control is the key and is attainable even if you do have severe asthma. Is your asthma under control? To find out, start by visiting the American Lung Association website, where you can take the My Asthma Control Assessment and access a downloadable summary of its findings to take to your next doctor’s appointment. Visit Lung. org/severe-asthma for more information, as
well as to access questions that you can ask your doctor for a more productive conversation. Better understanding your asthma is the first step to taking better control of your symptoms.
the playground, board games or fort-building, putting screens away gives children’s imaginations time to flourish.
• Verbal ‘Warnings’ Do More Harm Than Good: Every parent knows the struggle of limiting device use. Handing a tablet over is easy enough, but getting it back? That’s when the struggle begins. According to research, giving kids a warning that screen time is coming to an end increases the chances that kids will fight back and defy their limitation.
The fix: Setting clear limits on tech use is not just important, it’s essential. New technology can help you do so much more seamlessly than an idle warning. Think apps that don’t lead kids into the next level of a game or give parents control over kids’ devices remotely.
One such tool is a parental control app called OurPact.
To start, parents sign up for a free account. After pairing their child’s devices, they’re able to manage them remotely through at-a-touch blocking or automated schedules. It’s great for setting bedtime schedules, ensuring devices don’t cause homework distractions and for enjoying pingfree family dinners. It works on Wi-Fi and all cellular connections, meaning you can manage access whether you’re at the grocery store or at home. To learn more or download, visit OurPact.com.
And of course, open the lines of communication about device use with your kids early on, and keep the dialogue going. Explain why screen time rules are important and set a good example. If you don’t want your kid to look at their device in the middle of a conversation, hold yourself to the same rule.

Merrill Lynch.
“Initially [Merrill Lynch] hired me on as a financial advisor to help take on that part of this book of business,” Connell said. “They had a huge change in clients. They had about roughly 300 households and $180 million come through from another firm… It was like an arranged marriage, but you had to kind of build trust.
Finally, she found an opportunity with Edward Jones, and took over for a retiring financial advisor in Queen Anne back in August.
“Come to me for anything that has a dollar in front of it,” she said. “Literally anything. I may not be able to advise you an everything, but I have a pretty deep knowledge of the markets, of interest rates, of stocks and what types of bonds you should be buying.”
She likes how there are so many ways you can come at wealth management, she said.
While the main thing people think about with wealth management is retirement, she likes to take it a step further and look at her business from the viewpoint of protecting her clients’ legacy, while also affording them to enjoy the savings that they have accrued.
“I like to help clients get more juice for the squeeze,” Connell said. “If I can find something that gets them a
Page 3
little bit more, then I really enjoy that too.”
She said she was really good at processes, holding hands with clients and building relationships.
“From a relationship perspective, when you become someone’s advisor you really have learned so much about them,” she said. “Stuff that they don’t even tell anybody else in their family almost. Sometimes they don’t even tell their children. That’s a really deep relationship to protect and honor.”
As a fiduciary, she said she is held to a higher standard. She has do what is right for her clients.
She has to ask clients so much sensitive information about themselves, but to be successful, they have to be willing to give her that type of information.
“It’s kind of a circle of trust,” she said. We have privacy practices here. Everything is secured. Everything is shredded. Most things are digital now, but we do protect our clients’ privacy.”
She asks her clients what they want from life, she said, and she ties that information into her dealings with their financial situation.
“Basically it’s like putting a puzzle together for every single client,” Connell said. “You have to give me everything and then we can put it together.”
Since her move to Edward Jones, she has found the organization to be very supportive,
and Recreation will build a new, smaller seawall to protect adjacent properties, and then new sediment will be introduced to the shoreline to simulate natural processes.
“The project will introduce new beach sediment material to the littoral system,” the design document states. “The new beach material will be similar to the existing material and placed at slopes and grades that will promote natural beach cross-shore processes and backshore ecological function. It is expected that the placement of new material to the littoral system will help to mitigate ongoing erosion at properties immediately to the north of the park.”
Another aspect of the restoration will be the daylighting of Pelly Creek, which currently flows through the failing seawall by use of a pipe.
Currently, there is a tennis court on the land side of the failing seawall, but that aspect of the park will be removed to accommodate the daylighting of the creek, which will create a positive ecological process by the fresh water of the creek flowing freely into the saltwater through the renewed shoreline sediment.
"Freshwater going into saltwater is beneficial for benthic organisms — those little things that live in the sand and gravel that juvenile salmon like to feed on,” Graves said. “So having a little bit of fresh water is beneficial."
Pelly Creek will be coaxed through the park after Seattle Parks and Recreation creates a rock channel for it to flow through. The park will also see a fair amount of planting on the north side of the creek.
The project is in the design process now, and Seattle Parks and Recreation will be getting
with mentors willing to travel just to help out.
Connell said she wants everybody to have a good feeling from the moment they walk through the door to her office at 319 W Galer St. in Queen Anne.
“No matter who you meet, it is all about how you make that person feel,” she said. “That’s it. You need to make them feel good. If you make them feel bad, it’s never going to go anywhere. So always leave a good impression. Always leave a good taste in someone’s mouth.”
With the right work ethic, people can do anything they
ready for bid after some permits from the Core of Engineers and from Fish and Wildlife are obtained.
The three-month construction project will ideally begin in August, after it goes out out to bid in late spring, Graves said.
"This is one of the few spots in West Seattle where you can put a blanket out on the lawn and actually walk directly to the beach,” he said. “It is actually pretty unique from a public-access standpoint."
The park will also be handicap and ADA accessible.
According to the design document:
“The major ecological benefits and potential benefits of the project include:
- Approximately 16,445 square feet in nearshore habitat and additional 6,915 square feet of backshore will be created.
- With the majority of the seawall removed, the beach will be designed to mimic a natural backshore, and over time, natural ecological processes are anticipated to return to the beach.
- The additional sands and gravels may provide feeding and refuge habitat for juvenile salmon.
- The project would increase the amount of fine material and natural sands across a larger area, it also provides the possibility for additional spawning habitat for surf smelt. Wood recruitment and wrack accumulation would likely increase over much of the site and support larger invertebrate assemblages which would result in an increase in shorebirds.
- The planting clusters of several marine riparian trees and shrubs will provide shade to the restored shoreline and result in ecological benefits. Due to a net increase in vegetation, a net increase in the terrestrial input of organic material and invertebrates is anticipated.”
set their minds to, she said, but people have to put themselves out here.
“Constantly be uncomfortable, she said. “Always try to expand. Always try to put yourself in uncomfortable positions. If you hate public speaking, do it every single day until you don’t hate it anymore. The things that you hate, or the things you are afraid of — your Achilles heel — do it until you are not [afraid], until you are really good at it, until people see you as the expert in that thing. Obsess about it.”
Connell wants her business
to be incredibly efficient and wants to be able to inspire other people with it, she said, because she got to where she is in life through hard work and dedication.
“The number one thing is I never took ’no’ for an answer,” Connell said. “If I had a feeling that I could get something done, I got it done. You have to make things happen. You can’t just take a ‘no’ if you want to be successful. You need to push through, especially if you know it’s the right thing.”
Connell can be reached by phone at 206-282-0214.
