A festival of light
After reciting a prayer marking the first night of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, Chabad of Queen Anne Rabbi Shnait Levitin overcame technical difficulties to light the public menorah Sunday evening at the corner of Crockett and Queen Anne Avenue North.

Local Jewish residents share what makes Hanukkah special to them
By Jessica Keller QA&Mag News editor
Although it’s not known as a major religious holiday, Hanukkah is celebrated by the local Jewish community in a variety of ways, with families setting their own traditions.
Chabad of Queen Anne Rabbi Shnait Levitin said the eight-day holiday, which began Sunday evening and concludes Monday evening, is a busy time for him as both a pastor and a father. Sunday evening, he hosted
a public menorah lighting and Hanukkah carnival before lighting his family’s menorah with his wife and two sons at home.
While the public celebration featured strong cultural elements, such as fried foods popular at Hanukkah: latkes and jelly rolls, traditionally, Hanukkah is strongly tied to family.
“You’re not supposed to light the menorah by yourself,” Levitin said, adding for eight days, Jewish families are reminded to turn off the business of the world off for an hour or two and spend time with family by reciting prayers
and lighting the menorah, playing games, such as dreidel, and giving gifts or Hanukkah gelt. “It’s definitely got a very strong family element to it.”
It also has a universal message, Levitin said, which he shared at the public menorah lighting Sunday: one of religious freedom and the understanding that light can dispel darkness as long as people make an effort to keep spreading the light.
“The message is we don’t just absolve ourselves our obligations [after one day], and our opportunity to spread light continues to
grow,” he said.
Of course, Hannukah elicits other feeling, as well.
Magnolia resident David Kaplan remembers Hanukkah being a “big deal” for him and his sister growing up in Mercer Island.
A highlight, Kaplan said, was the presents they received for each night of Hannukah.
“I would go crazy trying to figure out what was what,” he said.
As he got older, his family’s tradition changed, and he would

receive one big gift, like tires for his car or a car insurance payment.
“From a religious sense, you learn it’s not a major religious holiday, but when you’re little, that doesn’t really jibe, at least it didn’t for me,” Kaplan said.
Queen Anne resident Suzi LeVine remembers fondly and humorously the gifts given to her and her siblings during Hanukkah.
LeVine said, during Hanukkah, her mother would give her four children each eight small presents, with each night’s gift frequently making up a larger one. For example, Levine said, if one of the presents was a pair of mittens, the children would receive one mitten on one night, the second on another night.
“So she parceled it out to be very economical, and I’ve tried to do the same with our own kids,” LeVine said.
She said their family gift-giving tradition involves a gag gift; one year she gave her children different kinds of tape. LeVine laughs that when one of her children had a drawer full of tape, they made a
pair of pair of slippers.
“You can be very creative with duct tape,” LeVine joked.
LeVine said one of the things that makes Hanukkah so special to her is the “durability of that story.” While Hanukkah celebrates the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrian-Greek armies in their fight to continue practicing their religion, LeVine said, given shootings at synagogues and antisemitic attacks, as well as Jewish people’s resiliency, the message is just as appropriate today.
“It’s really more about survival and culture and how do you retain culture in the face of assimilation and how have we persisted over thousands of years despite continued suppression and efforts to attack us,” LeVine said of the holiday.
She said she also appreciates that Hanukkah is a festival of light.
“It’s the joy and the family. It’s coming together, and as a festival of light, it’s so beautiful,” LeVine said adding her family lights three or four menorahs. “It’s a lot of candles. Especially in the depths of the dark of winter, to bring that light into our home, it bring us
joy.”
Similarly, Rabbi Rachel Nussbaum of Queen Anne’s Kavana, said Hanukkah appropriately comes at the darkest time of year, when the days are shortest and the light sparse.
“For me, I think the theme of the holiday that resonates the most deeply is the opportunity to bring light into the world at a dark time of year and the light in the story also represents freedom: freedom of oppression, freedom of expression, freedom of religion,” Nessbaum said.
Although Hanukkah is special in that regard, Nessbaum said it is also a relatively relaxed holiday that doesn’t come with extra requirements, such as attending synagogue for special prayers or refraining from work. And since it frequently coincides with winter break, it can easily be celebrated while on vacation; travel menorahs are made specifically for that purpose.
For Margaret Okamoto, Queen Anne, Hannukah is a way to remember and honor her history. It’s also part of her culture.
“For me, what makes these holidays so wonderful, is it’s about
family and friends,” she said. “It’s about people gathering together to celebrate an occasion.”
Okamoto celebrated Hanukkah as a child with her extended family in California and then with her own children. She now makes an effort to celebrate it with her grandchildren if possible.
“I just think it really is focuses so much on children, it’s a fun holiday.”
Okamoto said Jewish holidays are also about the food.
“The parties that we gave, you had to start making latkes days ahead of time, freezing them,”
Okamoto said of family gatherings in California.
Now that she’s older, Okamoto said the traditional significance of the holiday means more to her.
“I’m always sad when there’s no more candles to light,” she said.
Although both of Okamoto’s children did not marry into Jewish families, she hopes they will continue to keep their traditions alive.
“I do want my grandkids to know something about Judaism and why we celebrate the holidays and what their meaning is,” Okamoto said.
Hanukkah history and traditions
Hanukkah is an eight-day Jewish holiday that celebrates the victory of the Maccabees over Greek-Syrian oppressors who would not permit them to practice their own faith. Following their victory, they retook the Second Temple in Jerusalem. According to the story, the Jewish people who participated in the rededication of the temple discovered there was only enough pure olive oil to light the menorah for one day. In what was deemed a miracle, the oil burned for eight days, the time needed to prepare purified oil. To celebrate the victory and subsequent miracle, Jewish people began celebrating Hanukkah. Hanukkah is sometimes called a festival of lights, which is celebrated with lighting the menorah, eating traditional fried foods, such as latkes and jelly donuts, playing games, such as dreidel, and giving gifts and Hanukkah gelt, gold-wrapped coins made of chocolate.

At the start of every mayoral election, there are new sparks of hope. These sparks may be emotional or symbolic, but either way, candidates elicit sparks. And sparks are many things, but they always shed a little light. Which helps us to see our way forward.
Blind faith
Mary Lou Sanelli Falling Awake
And that’s what we want, isn’t it? To see our way forward. To feel like we are doing something to move beyond our mistakes. Because a city is fragile, such a fragile thing. A city can fall faster than anyone imagines. But, like I said, new hope!
I wanted to like Lorena Gonzales, I really did. But her effects on me were two: First, I felt like she
was putting our city at further risk, and I sensed a worrisome threat I could never completely shake off.
Secondly, and far worse, she, a few other council members, our out-going mayor and the head of Decriminalize Seattle who still wants added cuts to the budget of Seattle’s Police Department, well, these women have caused me to really question myself. I thought women would do a better job. By now, I think most of us know we cannot de-fund our way out of a crisis. Most people want a police response when they call 9-1-1. Because what does it really mean to have the police feel under appreciated, underfunded? Whatever it means, it is never good for
a city, and the people who talk as if it is have almost never lived anywhere where this is so. Given the high stakes of a lawless city, who in his right mind wants to be a social experiment?
The point, or points, I mean to bring up is that from the very beginning, I feared these women would put their ideals above diplomacy, which they eventually did. I used to tell myself, any day now, I am going to feel confident that they know what they are doing.
After a while, I just had to admit that gender has little to do with leadership skill. I mean it’s a fine enough word: gender — rife with significance, but I will now vote based on one human being at a time, regardless of it. Which is why, the day before the election I was texting everyone I knew, asking them, pleading with them, to vote for Bruce Harrell.
There are days, like today, when
Verlaine & McCann’s ‘Land
“There is a sense of despair when the only jobs to hope for are ones that are going to have you filling orders for Amazon in a windowless concrete hanger."
I see so clearly how being a visiting dance teacher has given me new perspective on our political challenges. See, even the most rundown town can have a ballet studio. And the thing that is most troubling to me is how rundown so much of our state is.
I’d anticipated seeing a few towns that are down on their luck, but I didn’t think there would be so many, which is really how it is out there.
There are exceptions, such as college towns like Ellensburg. And Walla Walla has reinvented itself into a wine-tasting mecca, a little gem of Syrah success, triggering investors to buy up
surrounding farmland and plow under the fruit and nut trees to make room for more and more vines while TRUMP 2024 signs shoot up as fast as vineyard stakes. Why? Because the next generation who thought they’d be orchard farmers feel left out of the tech-affluent, investment, corporate culture of the coast.
There is a sense of despair when the only jobs to hope for are ones that are going to have you filling orders for Amazon in a windowless concrete hanger.
This is what I saw, and what I felt I understood, in eastern Washington: that people are put off by anything that seems to stand for “socialism,” and a tightfisted resistance to anything that might in fact be positive for their town if it presented by the “other side,” or, as a father of one of my choreography students put it and not all that jokingly, “you crazy folks in Seattle.”
Friends in the city are always saying things like, “What is wrong with these Trump supporters? I just don’t get it.”

What bacteria make us get stomach bugs?
There are all kinds of tiny pathogens, including bacteria and viruses, in our world. Some of them are helpful and do things like keep the human gut healthy — but there are others that can make us quite sick.
I talked to my friend Alan Goodman about it. He’s an associate professor at Washington State University who knows a lot about the pathogens that can cause illness in people and other animals.
When we talk about stomach bugs, usually we think of pathogens that cause the stomach flu. If you wanted to call the infection by its official name, you could say “viral gastroenteritis.” But we’ll stick with stomach flu for now.
The stomach flu isn’t influenza. Goodman said we might call influenza “the flu,” but influenza actually impacts the nose, throat and lungs. The stomach flu causes trouble in the stomach and intestines that make up the gastrointestinal system.
The culprit behind the stomach flu is often norovirus. Norovirus is a sphere-shaped virus that is really good at spreading from person to person.
This virus can sometimes spread through tiny particles of poop, which is part of the reason it’s really important to wash our hands after we go to the bathroom.
When we wash our hands properly, it can help prevent all kinds of germs from getting into our bodies. It also keeps our germs from spreading to other people.
If norovirus does get into the body, it can create some changes in the digestive system and intestines. It can make the body react in unpleasant ways, such as causing diarrhea or vomiting. Thankfully, that usually only lasts for a couple of days before a person starts feeling better.
Meanwhile, there are also some bacteria called Salmonella and E. coli that can cause
stomach troubles. These bacteria might be living on uncooked poultry, raw eggs or unwashed vegetables. That’s why it’s important to keep food safety in mind when cooking or eating certain foods.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a perfect treatment for these kinds of “stomach bugs.” You just have to let your body’s immune system — which works to protect you — do its best to fight back.
But the good news is there are also some things we can do to help illness from striking in the first place.
If you haven’t already taken note by now,
one thing we can do to avoid spreading around pathogens is to wash our hands after we use the bathroom, and before and after we prepare or eat food.
A lot of pathogens can spread pretty quickly and easily, so if you are sick, it’s good to stay home from school if you can. That way the virus or bacteria doesn’t have as much of a chance to spread to other people.
When we take these thoughtful measures, we can help ourselves, along with our family and friends, stay safe and healthy.
Sincerely,
Dr. Universe
Providence Health Care Foundation honors local Gonzaga nursing student
Courtesy
A Gonzaga University nursing student from Magnolia, who provided care for a patient in Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center’s cardiac unit, received surprise honors after an individual made a donation recognizing the quality of her work.
The gift was made to the Providence Health Care Foundation, which has a program called Honor Your Caregiver. Melanie Miller, director of annual giving and special events for the foundation, arranged with Gonzaga for the presentation of a certificate and pin to Elaine Frank, Magnolia, during a class Nov. 12. She was joined by another student, Quincy Neal, in receiving the award.
The ceremony occurred during Sarai Libsack’s senior-level NURS 465, Transition to Professional Nursing Practice. Tiffanie Hoffmeyer and Crystal Talamantes, team members from Providence Health Care’s Professional Development Program, presented the awards.
“Quincy and Elaine were very surprised” Libsack said. “They both were tearing up a bit after class over this. The rest of the class was also surprised and very happy for them.”
Frank called her senior practicum on the Cardiac Acute Care Unit “an amazing experience” and said it “validated my pursuit of a career in cardiac nursing.”
She is focused on cardiac/telemetry nursing.
“My time at Gonzaga University in the nursing program has truly been a formative experience for me,” Frank said. “The simulations and skills training coupled with our lectures from the nursing faculty focus on holistic healing. This has influenced my nursing care to be patient-centered with therapeutic communication at the forefront.”
The foundation shared what impressed the donor.
“While I found most of the staff were great, especially those who go unseen, I must say that the two student nurses, Elaine and Quincy, were most attentive and helpful, as were my RNs,” the patient wrote, and recognized the difficult circumstances. “I was impressed with the care your staff gave, despite the fact that they were dealing with so many

COVID patients on two floors. There were so many that needed direct attention, I was amazed at how well they took care of those that didn’t have the virus, and how they kept their spirits up, and never showed that they were tired or ready to go home, when most people would have, or gotten grumpy.
“The quality of the care that everyone showed me this last time I was in the hospital was truly exceptional, in spite of the work and the patients they dealt with daily.”
Libsack is confident about what lies ahead for Frank and Neal, and for all those in her class.
“I am very proud of both Quincy and Elaine for this honorable recognition from a patient at Providence,” she said. “They both went above and beyond in their care during their practicum experience, embodying the holistic care that we teach within the nursing program at Gonzaga. Although both were surprised with this honor, I was not surprised when Providence reached out to me with a request to recognize them.
“Quincy and Elaine, as well as all of their classmates, are going to be amazing nurses here very soon and will touch many more lives in their work,” Libsack added.
It’s not every day that a patient responds to a hospital stay with a gift to Providence.
“The act of making a donation, as a response to receiving incredible care, is truly generous,” said Miller, of the Providence Health Care Foundation. “And for this donor to have recognized Elaine and Quincy, specifically, and acknowledged that they are still training was incredibly thoughtful. They have a bright future in nursing ahead!”

DOH launches state’s new digital COVID verification record system
As the need for COVID-19 vaccine verification increases across the state, the Washington State Department of Health wants to ensure people are prepared and know how to prove their vaccination status when it is required. Vaccine verification options now include QR code functionality through WA Verify, https://waverify.doh.wa.gov/, the state’s new digital COVID-19 vaccine record system.
Currently, there are several forms of proof people can use to verify their vaccination status:
• Original, copy or photo of the CDC COVID-19 vaccination record card
• Verified electronic medical record printout from a medical provider
• Record from the state’s immunization information system, which can include:
1. A digital COVID-19 verification record from WAVerify.org, which includes a QR code that can be scanned by a SMART Health Card reader, or 2. A certificate of COVID-19 Vaccination from MyIR Mobile, https://myirmobile.com/
Depending on the establishment, some places may only accept one specific type of vaccine verification, so it is important to check ahead of time.
“More businesses, events and employers are requiring people to be vaccinated,” said Umair A. Shah, MD, MPH, Washington secretary of health. “We ask that you respect the rules of the room and be prepared in advance to show the type of vaccination

Well, now, I do get it.
I also get that some of these friends don’t fully understand what employment-hopelessness feels like. But those that know what it feels like, know. My last tour helped me to realize there is another flicker of hope that people will put their faith in when they see no other spark of light: blind trust.
I admire politicians who can face up to accountability on both sides, but I don’t meet a lot of them lately, do you?
I don’t know why I’m asking you this, except that I don’t believe Jenny Durkan didn’t run again because of threats; I think she gave up.
Anyone in the public eye receives threats. I’ve received a few just for writing this column. I once felt so threatened by a man in Magnolia I had to involve the
proof requested. If you have plans to go to an event or want to grab dinner with a friend, please do not wait until the last minute to verify your vaccination status – prepare ahead of time by taking those steps today.”
DOH’s Office of Innovation and Technology worked closely with partners at MITRE, Microsoft and the state of California to stand up WA Verify.
WA Verify is Washington’s new digital COVID-19 verification record system that draws COVID-19 records from the state’s immunization system. To use the tool, people enter their name, date of birth and an email or phone number associated with their vaccination record. If the information matches an official record, they will receive a text or email with a link to their digital COVID-19 vaccine record. WA Verify currently supports more than 30 languages, with additional languages available soon. For more information, visit WA Verify’s Frequently Asked Questions page.
People who have questions or need help accessing their vaccination records can call the state’s COVID-19 Information Hotline at 1-800-525-0127, then press #. Language assistance is available.
Everyone 5 and older is currently eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. To find a vaccine provider near, visit Vaccine Locator, https://vaccinelocator.doh. wa.gov/.

Which makes me remember what a friend said after he recently did buy one to protect his Pioneer Square business. Gun sales are up exponentially in Seattle, which always happens when homicides are exponentially up (and they are), so he wondered aloud — then laughed at his own joke — if the real truth of our current City Council is that they are undercover agents for the NRA.
I laughed, too, not wanting to admit, even to myself, the sudden constriction in my throat.
