Although Zac Cooper, owner of Coopers Optique, a designer eyewear boutique in Uptown, has worked with glasses for a number of years, he only recently decided to take his business to the next level. In addition to running his eyewear business, which specializes in high-end glasses frames, Cooper said he is also an artist, and one day, when downsizing his art collection, he was inspired to create his own designer frames that incorporated his art work. “I’m a crafty person,” Cooper said, adding that combining his love for art with eyewear sounded like a fun challenge and the next step in his business. After some sketching and seeing which artwork was suitable for the glasses frames he had in mind, Boldazza Eyewear was launched. “I think I’ve always in the back of my mind wanted to do this when I opened my store,” Cooper said. “It’s fun. I’m excited for this.” Cooper designed the frames himself, taking into account

Group receives grant for safety improvement at intersection near QA elementary school By Jessica Keller

Pedestrians and parents concerned for their or their children’s safety crossing a busy intersection on Queen Anne can breathe a little bit easier. The Department of Neighborhoods announced recently it had awarded the Coe Kids Crossing Community Group a matching funds grant for $49,000. When combined with community funds raised, the Seattle Department of Transportation will make crosswalk safety improvements at Seventh Avenue West and West McGraw Street. “We are extremely fortunate to have been chosen as one of the 21 grant recipients out of 44 submissions,” said Queen Anne Community Council President Paula
Mueller, who helped spearhead the effort. “This was due in no small part to the great work by all the volunteers who have worked to promote the project throughout the neighborhood, the local businesses who lent their support, the leadership, faculty, staff, parents at Coe Elementary School, and the other civic leaders and elected officials who endorsed the proposal and, most of all, the extraordinary generosity of our Queen Anne neighbors who have pledged so generously. This has been truly a community-wide effort!” Currently, the intersection has a painted crosswalk on the east side of Seventh Avenue West but no crossing aids that alert drivers of children or anyone else trying to cross there. Mueller said the com-

Magnolia tree lighting slated for Saturday As part of Small Business Saturday, where residents are encouraged to support their local businesses in their neighborhoods, Magnolia Garden Center is hosting a tree lighting for the community at 5 p.m. at the intersection of 32nd Avenue West and West Smith Street in Magnolia. Magnolia Girl Scouts will be caroling and serving hot cocoa and cider.
Cookbook can be found at Magnolia bookstore
The Seattle Sister Cities Association, a coalition of 20 citizenled sister city organizations, has published a new cookbook featuring recipes, anecdotes and photos from across the globe. “The International Table: Recipes From the Seattle Sister Cities” collects over 100 dishes, all suitable for the home chef, from Cambodia, Cameroon, China, France, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, New
Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Korea, Taiwan, Uzbekistan and Vietnam, according to a press release. The cookbook is only being sold in independent neighborhood bookstores, including Magnolia’s Bookstore, 3206 W. McGraw St., Seattle. In addition to the many amateur chefs of Seattle’s sister city associations who contributed their own recipes, many professional chefs contributed to the project, including Jp McMahon, author of “The Irish Cookbook “(Phaildon Press, 2020); Marialucia Luongo, author of “Cucinaria: Lettere dalla cucina” (Cucinaria: Letters from the Kitchen; 2018 ); Letizia Mattiacci, author of “A Kitchen With A View” (RDJ, 2016) and “Festa Italiana” (Madonna del Piatto, 2020); and Narin Seng Jameson, author of “Cooking the Cambodian Way: The Intertwined Story of Cooking and Culture in Cambodia” ( JSRC Printing House, 2016). All recipes are accompanied by photography and an engaging and historical description of the city of origin, according to the
press release. The book includes anecdotes on family and local traditions, cooking tips and tricks, and information on the expansive array of ingredients. The Seattle Sister City Association’s mission is to strengthen relationships between Seattle and its sister cities around the world. “With this cookbook, the association furthers its mission by sharing the food traditions of the paired cities, bringing the flavors of the globe to the tables of Seattle,” according to the press release. “Breaking bread with strangers has long been a cornerstone to building new relationships and strengthening existing ones.” The book is the collaborative effort of all Associations, coordinated by a small, dedicated team of volunteers including the editorial team of Justin Allan-Spencer (Reykjavík, Iceland), June Cutler (Surabaya, Indonesia), Susan Kegel (Nantes, France), Patricia Lichiello (Perugia, Italy) and Thyda Ros (Sihanoukville, Cambodia). The book was designed by Justin Allan-Spencer, book designer at Fantagraphics Books, Inc.
In addition to independent book retailers, “The International Table” is available at museums,and cultural organizations throughout Seattle. All proceeds benefit the Seattle Sister City Association and its affiliated organizations. 254 pages, 8” × 10”, $34.99. ISBN 978-1-68396-497-1.

United Way of King County seeking volunteers
The United Way of King County is seeking volunteers to help working families with tax preparation. The organization will offer free tax preparation in early 2022 to working families with the assistance of IRS-certified volunteers who will help filers claim all the tax credits and refunds to which they’re entitled. United Way of King County needs 1,000 volunteers to help in this effort. From January through April, United Way volunteers offer free tax preparation assistance at more than 16 locations throughout the county. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, filing was all virtual in 2020. In 2022, there will be both in-person and virtual opportunities. In addition to tax-preparation assistance, volunteers also help filers with information about public benefits, financial counseling and other services. To learn how to volunteer, go to https://www.uwkc.org/volunteer/ free-tax-prep/.

The glasses, which can be either sunglasses or regular eyewear, come in six different colors that feature some pattern of his artwork. “I kind of just went a little bit bigger and chunkier,” Cooper said, adding his first line of Boldazza frames are designed for women in mind, but he will expand in the coming year. “This evolved fairly quickly. Cooper said he is close with his mother, Kathy, and wanted his first eyewear line to honor her. Future lines will honor other family members. “Family is a good pillar of my values,” Cooper said. With one design behind him, Cooper said his goals for 2022 will be to create five more models, including for men and one for

children. “It’s not the design that’s the difficult part, it’s the artwork,” Cooper said, adding one of the challenges is determining what part of his artwork is ideal for his frames. Not every piece of art is suitable for eyewear. For his first line, he featured the strong lines and primary colors he created in one of his pieces. Not all of his artwork will work on glasses frames, he said, nor will he create artwork with his eyewear line in mind. “You can’t put art in a box,” Cooper said. Cooper said, while he is proud of what he created, he doesn’t see his eyewear lines expanding, at least initially, beyond Coopers Optique. For now, he’s just interested in creating eyewear featuring his artwork for his Seattle customers and seeing where his creativity takes him.

It’s not too late for people to buy tickets for the popular Vino in the Village event, which is returning to Magnolia Dec. 4. The event takes place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Modele’s Home Furnishings, 3220 W. McGraw St., Magnolia. “Vino historically has been one of the more popular events we host,” Magnolia Chamber of Commerce Director Jason Thibeaux said. “Because of the pandemic, we’ve not been able to host anything of any size for a year and a half, plus it’s good to be doing this again. The event, which the chamber hosts, is for people 21 years and older. People who purchase a ticket receive a commemorative wine glass and tokens to sample wines while strolling Magnolia Village and enjoying the holiday lights and merchant decorations. Bottles of wine can be purchased tax free. The event is important in that it helps the chamber promote Magnolia’s small businesses, Thibeaux
said. It also benefits the Chamber of Commerce. “Usually, the majority of our funding comes through our memberships,” Thibeaux said. “That being said, maybe 20 to 30 percent of our revenue comes through our events, as well.” Because the chamber has not been able to host regular events for the past 18 months because of COVID-19 pandemic, it has experienced a loss in revenue, like many businesses. Although it received a couple of small grants from King County last year, being able to host events like Vino will help the chamber return to full strength. “This helps us a bit financially, as well as promoting our members, which, again, is key,” Thibeaux said. He said the chamber was able to bring back Vino in the Village because it is an adult-only event, and people must show proof of vaccination prior to entry in participating mor a negative COVID-19 test in the 72 hours prior to the event. People will also have to show proof of age for consumption of wine. Merchants will

Why do we find bones in rock?
When humans want to look into the past, they often dig into the ground. Under the soil, archeologists can find all kinds of things that help us learn about life long ago. That’s what I found out from my friend Rachel Horowitz, an archaeologist at Washington State University who is very curious about the lives of our human ancestors. She said part of the answer to your question lies in some important processes that happen above and below Earth’s surface. Let’s say a human ancestor passed away and was buried at the edge of a lake. Layer after layer, the soil, pebbles, sand and other earth materials start piling up on top of the burial site. Over thousands of years, the layers create a lot of pressure and heat which can eventually turns all those different materials into rock. All of these layers create a lot of pressure and heat which eventually turns all those different materials into rock. Meanwhile, there’s another process at work that helps transform the human ancestor’s bones. Inside of a bone, there is a soft material called marrow. Over thousands of years, the marrow gets replaced with minerals. Maybe you’ve heard of minerals like calcium, zinc or sodium. As water moves through the soil, it brings some important minerals to the bone. The minerals replace the marrow. When this happens, we get a fossil. Fossils might look a lot like bones, but they are now rock — and we can learn a lot from them. Some of the fossils that have taught us about the past were bones belonging to a
human ancestor that archeologists named Ardipithecus ramidu, or Ardi, for short. Archeologists found Ardi at a dig site in Ethiopia more than a decade ago. A study of her bones revealed she likely lived about 4.4 million years ago. Scientists continue to study her skeleton and ask questions about what her life might have been like in the past. Horowitz told me that we can also find other things besides traces of bones. For instance, some archeologists have found fossils of poop, which are called coprolites. They have also found fossils of teeth. These kinds of fossils can help scientists learn more about what animals and humans used to eat. Archeologists have even found fossils of
human footprints that have been preserved in stone. We can also find things in the earth that don’t fossilize, including stone tools, scrolls, coins and pottery. All of these different fossils and remains can help scientists put together a better picture of history on our planet. Of course, you never know what someone might dig up next. It might add a new chapter to the story or change the way humans think about life long ago. Who knows, maybe one day you can be an archeologist or a historian and help us discover something new about the past. Sincerely, Dr. Universe

Senior Scene Does Medicare cover mobility scooters or wheelchairs? By Jim Miller Savvy Senior
Dear Savvy Senior, I have arthritis in my hips and knees and have a difficult time getting around anymore. What do I need to do to get a Medicarecovered electric-powered scooter or wheelchair? Need a Ride Dear Need, If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, getting an electricpowered mobility scooter or wheelchair that’s covered by Medicare starts with a visit to your doctor’s office. If eligible, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the cost, after you’ve met your Part B deductible ($203 in 2021). You will be responsible for the remaining 20 percent unless you have supplemental insurance. Here’s a breakdown of how it works. Schedule an appointment Your first step is to call your doctor or primary care provider and schedule a Medicare required, face-to-face mobility evaluation to

Photo by Steven HWG via Unsplash The first step to getting a mobility scooter or wheelchair through Medicare is to schedule an appointment with a primary care provider or doctor. determine your need for a power scooter or wheelchair. For you to be eligible, you’ll need to meet all of the following conditions: * Your health condition makes moving around your home very difficult, even with the help of a cane, crutch, walker or manual wheelchair. * You have significant problems performing activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, getting in or out of a bed or chair, or using the bathroom. * You are able to safely operate, and get on and off the scooter or wheelchair, or have someone with you who is always available to help you safely use the device. If eligible, your doctor will determine what kind of mobility equipment you’ll need based on your condition, usability in your home, and ability to operate it. It’s also important to know that Medicare coverage is dependent on your needing a scooter or wheelchair in your home. If your claim is based on needing it outside your home, it will be denied as not medically necessary, because the wheelchair or scooter will be considered a leisure item. Where to buy If your doctor determines you need a power scooter or wheelchair, he or she will fill out a written order or prescription. Once you receive it, you’ll need to take it to a Medicare approved supplier within 45 days. To find Medicare approved suppliers in your area, visit Medicare.gov/ medical-equipment-suppliers or call 800-633-4227. There are, however, circumstances where you may need “prior authorization” for certain types
of power wheelchairs. In this case, you’ll need permission from Medicare before you can get one. Financial aid If you have a Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy, it may pick up some, or all of the 20 percent cost of the scooter or wheelchair that’s not covered by Medicare. If, however, you don’t have supplemental insurance, and can’t afford the 20 percent, you may be able to get help through Medicare Savings Programs. Call your local Medicaid office for eligibility information. Or, if you find that you’re not eligible for a Medicare covered scooter or wheelchair, and you can’t afford to purchase one, renting can be a much cheaper shortterm solution. Talk to a supplier about this option. For more information about power mobility devices call Medicare at 800-633-4227 or visit Medicare.gov/coverage/ wheelchairs-scooters. Medicare advantage If you happen to have a Medicare Advantage plan (like an HMO or PPO), you’ll need to call your plan to find out the specific steps you need to take to get a power-wheelchair or scooter. Many Advantage plans have specific suppliers within the plan’s network they’ll require you to use. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Seattle downtown facing challenging recovery after COVID By Ruairi Vaughan Contributing writer
In late January 2020, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in the United States was reported in Snohomish County. As the virus spread across the country, Seattle was one of the earliest cities to experience the devastating economic effects of the virus. Downtown Seattle was hit particularly hard; the workforce of the district’s many office buildings disappeared overnight as work-from-home policies came into effect. This, in turn, caused the small businesses that served the office workers to rapidly close down. Added to that economic strain was the pressure on the area’s thriving tourism industry, which cratered as people everywhere began to avoid public spaces. Seattle’s downtown is the city’s economic heart: over 80,000 people live there, and almost four times that number are employed by businesses in the area. Most of the infrastructure that existed before the pandemic — transport networks, small businesses, restaurants and even parking garages — had effectively nothing to do when office workers stopped commuting, putting thousands of jobs in peril. This problem was not limited to Seattle but spread across the nation’s city centers. Jon Scholes, a leader in Seattle’s business community, has argued that the pandemic “reinforced how fragile our downtowns are: We can’t take anything for granted.” Seattle’s city leadership agrees with Scholes. In the summer, the city announced that it would be investing $9 million into revitalizing downtown, and then-outgoing Mayor Jenny Durkan made the effort a top priority for her final months in office. The city is also considering rebooting projects, such as a new streetcar in central downtown, that were put on hold by the arrival of the
pandemic. The effort to revive downtown is being spearheaded by the Downtown Seattle Association, the group led by Scholes. The DSA is a consortium of over 1,700 businesses, nonprofit groups and residential organizations that have been involved in city life for more than six decades and frequently partners with — and sometimes opposes — the city government’s actions on economic issues. To strategize the recovery of downtown, the DSA hired a prominent local expert in industrial and organizational design, Surya Vanka. Vanka has spent months examining urban revival efforts across the world — from homelessness policies in Melbourne, Australia, to earthquake recovery in Mexico City — to analyze the most successful tactics used by crisis-struck cities. The problem is a daunting one, and Vanka’s comprehensive strategy reflects the scale of the task at hand. When he spoke at the “State of Downtown” virtual conference hosted by DSA member organizations, he told his audience that recovery would not only need money, it would also require “the creativity of ordinary citizens coming together and reimagining their city.” Part of that reimagining will involve the creation of a more equitable city. Vanka is adamant that “when we serve those folks who are typically overlooked, we end up with solutions that work for everybody.” Downtown business leaders across a variety of sectors are optimistic that Seattle will make a strong recovery from the pandemic. Tom Norwalk, the CEO of Visit Seattle, spoke at the “State of Downtown” conference. While he admitted that the damage to the tourism, cruise ship and airline industries was “broad and felt everywhere,” he expressed confidence that travelers would soon be returning to the city.

“The foundation and the number of assets we have in place as a downtown is incredibly strong." — Jon Scholes Downtown Seattle Association “By 2023, we think we’ll see a return to pre-COVID levels of travel,” Norwalk predicted at the conference. Seattle had an advantage, he said, because all the things that make the city attractive to visitors — the history, arts scene, tech-
nological prowess and abundant natural beauty — are all still here. Seattle’s business leaders anticipate a very different downtown environment once the COVID-19 pandemic recedes: — the nature of office work has been fundamentally changed, many downtown business lots are empty, visitors and locals alike will be more cautious than before. Nevertheless, Scholes is confident the city will bounce back. “The foundation and the number of assets we have in place as a downtown is incredibly strong,” he said. Scholes said the best way for Seattleites to help the city’s recovery is for people to “come downtown!” “Seriously, come downtown!”

GRANT, FROM PAGE 1
Photo by Erica Browne Grivas The 1970s are having a reprise as houseplants continue their stratospheric rise in popularity like this alocasia. TRENDS, FROM PAGE 4 florals, are in. But for all this desire for nature, technology is woven into our lives. The report indicates online shopping is here to stay, and tech will be incorporated into much of our seeking for, if not our actual, interaction with nature. Are you unsure how to lay out your new vegetable garden or take
cuttings from your philodendron? Where to find grosbeak starlings? Where the nearest forest-bathing walk is? How wide your ax-lane should be? There’s an app — or a TikTok video — for that. Going forward, you’ll be able to buy a vegetable garden kit with a swipe while watching the seed-sowing video of the floral-clad #cottagecore #homesteader — as well as her sun hat and boots.
munity group learned the city’s Neighborhood Matching Grant fund was its best option to raise the money needed to make any safety improvements. Once the money is secure, SDOT will install a concrete floating curb-bulb on the northeast corner of the intersection and replacing the painted one that exists there now. The floating curb will allow pedestrians to stay safely out of the way until vehicles stop and people can step into the crosswalk. The grant funding will also pay for new signage that will be more visible to drivers. Mueller said once the group has its fiscal sponsorship official in place with the Parks Foundation, it will then be able to accept actual donations. The amount of the community match needed is $28,420, which covers 50 percent of the actual construction costs, plus fees and insurance charged for services and insurance by our fiscal sponsor. As of mid-November, the group had almost $13,000 in pledges, with a little over $15,000 more to raise through cash donations and volunteer time contributions. Mueller said the group will continue to campaign to continue to inform even more people in the community. Residents can still pledge at https://forms.gle/ WVm9fP64RE3uMeF89. The Coe crossing project was one of 21 community-initiated projects that received awards
through the Seattle Department of Neighborhood’s Neighborhood Matching Fund, which offers grants to organizations committed to fostering and building their community. The $49,000 awarded to the Coe Kids Crossing Community Group was among the higher amounts granted by the Depart-
ment of Neighborhood. Grants ranged from $18,900 to $50,000, according to a city press release. To receive the grant, community groups must first demonstrate they can match the award through local cash donations, volunteer hours, donated materials and in-kind professional services.
