e humans are patterned to search for meaning to our lives and this has caused me to often wonder how we are supposed to orient ourselves to a purposeful life (especially when we live in a society where things can, and do, change so fast!). My slight critique of the social media world is that the rapidity of shifting causes can, like a twisting kaleidoscope, disorient us and leave people feeling hopeless and powerless, like nothing truly matters. To help re-orient to this world, author Victor Frankl reminds us in his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, that we have the power to provide meaning to our own lives. You, yourself, can decide
today that if anything matters in your life then everything matters. Find meaning in planting ÀRZHUV YLVLWLQJ WKH ORQHO\ volunteering, loving your VLJQL¿FDQW RWKHU RU VLPSO\ laughing at a good joke. Life is full of meaning and you are D SRZHUIXO PHDQLQJ ¿QGLQJ being! Happy Spring!

Beaverton Named Tree City USA

ere in Beaverton, we care about our trees. We know that trees enhance the beauty of the city and we actively encourage the planting and care of local trees. Mayor Denny Doyle proclaimed April to be Arbor Month at a recent City Council meeting and events and programs were held throughout the month to celebrate. Beaverton celebrated Arbor Day in a big way this April — by planting 40 trees in collaboration with volunteers and Friends of Trees at the corner of Southwest 142nd Avenue and Southwest Farmington Road. “Today’s event also establishes this site as a ‘Heritage Arboretum,’” said Mayor Denny Doyle. “We’re transforming this land into a plant arboretum and community gathering space for current and future generations to enjoy!” The event also marked two important milestones. The city commemorated its 25th year as a Tree City USA and was awarded a Growth Award for the 15th year by the Arbor Day Foundation and Oregon Community Trees. In order to maintain a Tree City USA designation, a city must have a tree board or department, a community tree ordinance, spend at least $2 per resident on urban forestry, and celebrate Arbor Day. The Tree City USA Growth Award is awarded by the Arbor Day Foundation to recognize higher levels
of tree care by participating Tree City USA communities. The Growth Award highlights innovative programs and projects as well as increased commitment of resources for urban forestry. One such project is the Beaverton’s Favorite Tree Contest. Previously held decades ago, the contest was brought back this year by City Arborist Jered Lane to highlight landmark trees in the city and encourage conservation and preservation of existing trees. The three landmark trees are the Giant Sequoia at Beaverton Post 2I¿FH DW 6RXWKZHVW %HWWV Avenue and Southwest First Street, the Ponderosa Pine at Southwest Fourth Street and Southwest Angel Avenue, and the American Sycamore at Beaverton City Library at Southwest Hall Boulevard and Southwest Fifth Street. Did you know that the city has over 20,000 street trees? And we’re just getting started! We add new street trees each year to enhance the quality of our neighborhoods and our residents love to lend a helping hand! Last year the Highland Neighborhood Association Committee received second place in the Neighborhoods,
City Arborist Jered Lane and Mayor Denny Doyle are pictured with an Arbor Month proclamation at a City Council meeting in April.
USA Neighborhood of the Year Neighborliness Award for holding neighborhood walks, runs, and tree plantings to promote an active lifestyle and create opportunities for neighbors to build relationships. And they are still going strong! The Highland NAC planted 20 trees at Fir Grove Elementary School and nearby homes in February.

Hold up the line and rush to the produce section? Concoct a way to blame your parents? Uncertainty everywhere. Suddenly, a friendly voice exclaims, “Two bells!” You feel at ease.

Shaina is now bagging groceries, collecting carts, cleaning, and enthusiastically going to grab those two pesky avocados.

Shaina’s potential is limitless and thanks to employers like Trader Joe’s, Shaina is building a strong foundation for career and personal development.

Maybe horticulture and greenery is your style. Come pot some plants with us on June 8 near the Farmers Market! These are great activities, but we are only scratching the surface of what’s coming. Our vision is that of a downtown that is thriving 18 hours/ day. It’s a downtown full of fun shops, businesses, and restaurants. We see a downtown where people live, build families, and age. It’s a downtown that is inclusive, fun, and exciting. A downtown like this can revolutionize the way we live, cutting carbon emissions and leading to a more creative society. These dreams are not far off. So, hold on tight, because “the sky is not the limit”.
Pick up your passport in any of the 20 participating businesses to receive fun deals and for your chance to win one of several grand prize packages when the program ends on August 31.

Stop Hiding! Email/texting vs face to face communication LOCAL BUSINESS
E
mail and Texts are cool...and fast...and convenient. But, they are one of the worst things that humans ever created for business. Now, before you call me a dinosaur, or misguided, or fool, or anything...let me clarify. I love emails and texts. As I said, they are fast, convenient, and a good way to stay in touch with others. I know, I said they are the worst for business...in certain important situations. When you have an important situation or topic to discuss with an employee or customer... an email or text just does not cut it. Emails/Texts are impersonal ways to communicate as opposed to a face to face conversation. 7KH\ WDNH ¿YH WLPHV DV ORQJ WR compose and resolve as face to face chats. For important problems and projects on the job...nothing beats manager to employee, person to person communication. It is more personal, more effective and more productive. Texting and emailing have become great walls to hide behind. Compose...send...hide. To a business, the most important people in your business life are your customers and employees! Why would you choose the most impersonal way to send important communications? I want to clarify, that there are many forms of emails and texts that work well in business. Sending important business documents, alerts, announcements, a quick congratulations or “Nice Job”, sending group messages to your employees... quick replies to customers’ orders, questions, concerns... these and others are great scenarios for electronic communications.
Food & Drink However: • When you have something important to resolve...face to face or voice to voice are more impactful! • When you want to say thank you, email & text are ok...but follow up with a face to face conversation, shake their hand, and say Thank You! Or call them on the phone, and say Thank You! • When a customer calls or emails with a problem or complaint... face to face or voice to voice communications solve the problem faster, and tell the customer how important they are! • :KHQ \RX KDYH WR ¿[ D SURElem involving your employee’s performance...electronic communication is ok to have a record of the communication... but you better meet face to face, eye to eye so you can be crustal clear with them, and solve the problem. We humans are getting pretty bad at interpersonal communication. It’s like any skill. Practice it, and it gets sharper and more polished. Don’t practice it, and it gets rusty...and we get less skilled and comfortable with it. Humans are not as good at face to face communication as we used to be. Eye contact is uncomfortable for many these days...so we avoid it. Email and texting have a great place in life and business... but they will never replace the power and effectiveness of more the more emotional, powerful, personal, impactful Face To Face conversations and meetings. • •

Our founder, Elsie Stuhr, and others worked tirelessly to talk about WKH EHQHÂżWV RI DFFHVV WR SDUNV and recreation for our community health and wellness. Today, THPRD has become Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest special park district. Because our organization is dedicated exclusively to parks and recreation and due to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generous support, we are able to excel at what we do. For four years running, THPRD has been recognized as one of the Top Four parks providers in the nation for organizations serving a similar population group. This Gold Medal recognition is an important reminder our park system is truly special in terms of services nationwide. Our Inclusion Services team, that focuses on serving people experiencing disabilities
continues to receive recognition for their work, generously supported by donors to the Tualatin Hills Park Foundation. And our Aquatics Department was recently recognized by national representatives from the American Red Cross as a Top Training Provider for our lifeguarding programs. We were also honored to learn that we are third in the nation for providing Learn to Swim programs behind Chicago and Los Angeles who have between six to ten times the number of pools we do. An amazing accomplishment! But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not done. As we look to the future, we need your wisdom and guidance on what

id you know someone has a stroke in the U.S. every 40 seconds? Healthline reports stroke is the fourth-leading cause of death in U.S. women, and WKH ¿IWK OHDGLQJ FDXVH RI GHDWK in U.S. men. In Oregon nearly 8,000 people were hospitalized for stroke in 2014 according to the organization Stroke Awareness Oregon. Fast medical attention is the key to surviving a stroke, so it is important to know the sudden signs and symptoms: • Face: Is the face numb or does it droop on one side? • Arms: Is one arm numb or weaker than the other? Does one arm stay lower than the other when trying to raise both arms? • Speech: Is speech slurred or garbled? • Time: If you answered yes to any of the above, call 911
immediately. A stroke needs immediate attention, and the faster the person receives medical help, the less damage is caused. Strokes are caused by a disruption of the blood supply to the brain.

Avoid mindless eating 7 Simple ways
I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long day. Finally, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to unwind. You sink into the couch with your favorite snack in-hand to give you a quick energy burst before making dinner and turn on your favorite show. Before the episode is over, the bag is empty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; EXW \RX FDQÂśW UHPHPEHU ÂżQLVKLQJ it. Sound like a familiar scenario? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to eat mindlessly when there are so many distractions around us. Without even realizing it, you may overeat and make unhealthy food choices â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which can lead to weight gain. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news: there are simple ways you can be more mindful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; starting today. Check out these seven easy ways to go from mindless eating to mindful eating! 1. Enjoy a balanced, proteinrich breakfast.
includes healthy sources of protein may help you to feel fuller and satiated longer. Try this: Start your day right with a savory egg, cheese and turkey sausage burrito, a small handful of berries and a 6-ounce nonfat yogurt. 2. Keep portion sizes in mind. Portions and serving sizes can be very different. A portion is what you decide to eat, whereas a serving size is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s listed on a food label. Portion sizes can be deceiving, so try to keep the recommended serving size in mind (especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a restaurant).
We get it: mornings can be busy. But by making time for a morning meal, one study found that you may be less likely to snack on unhealthy foods (like soda or processed treats) later in the evening.A breakfast that 18 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 9 - Issue 5 (May 2019)
Research also indicates it can be easier to overeat when the portion size is larger. In one study, participants were given a sandwich that was either 6, 8, 10 or 12 inches long. Those who received a 12-inch sandwich were likely to eat more and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t report feeling VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ IXOOHU DIWHUZDUG FRPpared to those whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d eaten smaller sandwiches. This suggests eating more wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily leave you feeling full. Try this: Avoid snacking straight out of the bag and try to keep your portion sizes in mind by sticking to this portion-friendly infographic.
3. Find the right mindset. Set yourself up for success by practicing a few mindful eating techniques. Not only is mindful eating linked to weight loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it might help you enjoy your next meal even more. Being present and paying attention to the sight, taste and aroma of your food will help you to appreciate your meal and savor every bite. Try this: Disconnecting from your devices and leaving extra portions in the kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are two ways you can begin to eat more mindfully.
4. Steer clear of â&#x20AC;&#x153;procrastin-eating.â&#x20AC;? Ever avoid a deadline by grabbing something to snack on instead? Procrastinating by snacking, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;procrastin-eating,â&#x20AC;? provides a distraction, instead of allowing you to focus on the task at hand. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the only RQH Âą UHVHDUFKHUV IRXQG RQH LQ ÂżYH people are chronic procrastinators, meaning they consistently procrastinate in their personal, social and work lives.

Making healthy foods easier to access may make you more likely to reach for themâ&#x20AC;Ś but the same goes for unhealthy treats. Google got to the bottom of its employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; snack habits by observing 2,000 workers from WKH 1HZ <RUN RIÂżFH %XON 0 0 candies were hidden in opaque containers, while healthier snacks, like nuts and dried fruit, were placed in glass jars. After this change, researchers found employees ate 3.1 million fewer calories â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from M&Ms alone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; over a seven-week period. To put that number of calories in SHUVSHFWLYH HDFK RI WKH RIÂżFHÂśV 2,000 workers would have eaten
nine regular-sized packages of candies. Try this: Prep your healthy snacks for the week and keep them within reach, like the front of your pantry and fridge, or out on your desk. Apples, a bag of carrots and celery or a small palmful of nuts are all great options. 6. Take time to rest and digest. You should give yourself at least 20 minutes for fullness to set in. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why: As you chew, swallow and begin to digest your food, it can take anywhere EHWZHHQ ÂżYH DQG PLQXWHV IRU the glucose from your food to be absorbed by your body. As a result, your insulin will increase and hormones in your gut will be released. All these signals travel back to the brain to signal fullness. The amount of time it takes to feel full can vary from person to person, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to give your brain time to catch up with your body. It can also be easy to mistake dehydration for hunger. The symptoms can be similar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fatigue,
lightheadedness, or headaches. Keeping a reusable water bottle on hand and sipping it throughout the day can help you stay hydrated and may even help you avoid mindless eating. Try this: Listen to your hunger and fullness cues. Mindful eating is a great way to pay attention to your meal and avoid eating past the point of feeling satiated. 7. Avoid distractions. Scrolling through your social media feed while eating, taking lunch at your desk, or snacking while watching TV might seem harmless, but being distracted while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating may lead to weight gain. In fact, a review of three studies conducted by the University of Birmingham suggested that being inattentive or distracted during a meal resulted in people eating more at that meal, conversely, paying more attention to a meal was linked to eating less later. Researchers think the memory of eating impacts how long youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel VDWLVÂżHG DIWHU \RXU LQLWLDO PHDO Try this: Unplug at mealtimes to take the time to enjoy your meal and company. To avoid mindless eating, remember to focus on your meal. Take a moment to appreciate the vibrant colors on your plate, the GHOLFLRXV DURPD DQG Ă&#x20AC;DYRU DQG WKH textures of the ingredients. Take a seat at the table instead of in front of the TV, or walk away from your desk and enjoy lunch with your coworkers.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going vegan? Insane! Why I decided to make the change STUDENT CORNER
A
bout two months ago, I decided to make a huge change in my lifestyle. I had been thinking about going vegan for a while, but it was only when I realized that what I was eating had been negatively impacting my health and the environment that I took the plunge and made the change. Now, I know what you might be thinking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vegan? Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insane!â&#x20AC;? But, before you judge me, let me tell you why I decided to make this change in my diet. First of all, before I eliminated animal products from my diet, I would eat whatever was in front of me. Then, I started following RQH RI P\ IDYRULWH 1HWĂ&#x20AC;L[ VWDUV on Instagram and found out he was vegan and a huge environmental activist. This made me interested and I decided to do a little research on exactly what I was putting into my body and the effects it had on not only myself but also on our planet. Coming from someone who used to love the everyday
fast-food chicken nuggets, learning the reality behind mass production was excruciating for me to hear. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to go into detail about this because you can do your own research if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested. But, something to consider is that not only are billions of animals being tortured every year but the raising of livestock is one of the main contributors to climate change. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not trying to convince you to go vegan, but I think that there are many ways to help our environment and our health by making some different choices. It will be a big adjustment to change your eating habits, but the earth and all its inhabitants will thank you.

Hello again loyal Beaverton readers!
O
nce again, I have been asked to write about the difference between leasing or buying a new car. Is one a better option than the other? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to understand that the decision to lease or buy D FDU KDV ÂżQDQFLDO LPSOLFDWLRQV that should be considered before pulling the trigger on a deal. Your personal taste and lifestyle should also play a big role in whether you decide to lease or buy. In this article, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you the major pros and cons for each side of the lease vs. buy debate and tell you what you need to know about how to lease cars, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to decide which option is right for you. What are your goals, budget and preferences? Whether you choose to buy or lease your next car depends mostly on your goals, budget, and personal preferences. Both buying and leasing cars KDYH WKHLU EHQHÂżWV WKH NH\ LV GHWHUPLQLQJ ZKLFK RI WKRVH EHQHÂżWV matter the most to you. Before you begin your search for your next car, you should take time to decide what you want to get out of it, what terms youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re FRPIRUWDEOH ZLWK DQG WKH ÂżQDQFLDO implications, letting those factors drive your decision. Below are some of the best EHQHÂżWV RI OHDVLQJ D FDU IROORZHG by some of the best reasons for buying a car. Take a look and decide for yourself which option appeals the most to you.
Here are 5 advantages of buying a car:
Here are 6 advantages of leasing a car: 1. Lower monthly payments. The cost to lease a car is typically much lower than to buy one. Little or no down payment is required, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to pay any upfront sales tax. However, when you return a leased vehicle, you may have extra charges for racking up mileage that exceeds the allowable limit, terminating a lease early, or having any unrepaired damage. 2. Never being â&#x20AC;&#x153;upside-down.â&#x20AC;? When you lease a car, you UHQW LW IRU D Âż[HG WHUP ZKLFK is typically 2 or 3 years. The amount you pay each month is tied to the amount of depreciation thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected during the lease term (note that different makes and models of vehicles depreciate at different rates). You only pay for the depreciation of the car that occurs during your lease term and you can never be â&#x20AC;&#x153;upside-down,â&#x20AC;? which is a common situation where vehicle owners owe more than their car is worth. 3. Fewer repair expenses. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re covered by a
manufacturer warranty during your lease term, you never have to worry about getting hit with a large, unexpected repair bill. However, you are still responsible for regular upkeep, maintenance, and the minimum amount of auto insurance required by the state where you live. 4. Driving a new car more often. If you lease a new vehicle every few years, you will always KDYH WKH EHQHÂżW RI GULYLQJ D car with the most up-to-date technology, comfort, and safety features. 5. Never having to sell a vehicle. Once a â&#x20AC;&#x153;closed-endâ&#x20AC;? lease term expires you can simply return the vehicle or choose to initiate a new lease for a different vehicle. But you never have to go through the hassle of selling a vehicle yourself or being concerned about getting a fair trade-in value. Or you may have the option to buy a vehicle at the end of the lease term for a pre-set price. That could be a good idea if the vehicle is worth more than the agreed upon purchase priceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or a bad idea if it is worth less money.
1. Paying less over the long term. Monthly lease payments are generally less expensive than monthly car loan payments. However, with each loan payment, you build up equity for the future when you decide to sell or trade your car in. Buying a vehicle and driving it for several years after you pay it off can be the cheapest way to own a car. The longer you drive it, the less it costs. 2. Have the option to sell it. As a car owner, you have the Ă&#x20AC;H[LELOLW\ WR WUDGH LW RU VHOO LW (and pay off any existing loan balance) at any time. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re QHYHU ORFNHG LQWR D Âż[HG ownership period like with a car lease. 3. No mileage limit. When you need to drive a vehicle as many
miles as you want, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much better to own it. Leases put caps on the number of miles you can drive and charge a hefty fee when you exceed the limit. 4. No restrictions on appearance. If you want to use a car or truck without having to keep it in perfect condition or want to accessorize it, you should always buy it. 5. Discount the depreciation. Depending on the vehicle, 20% to 40% of its depreciation FDQ RFFXU ZLWKLQ WKH ÂżUVW IHZ years. So, when you buy a 2- to 3-year-old-vehicle, you get the advantage of paying a SULFH WKDW UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWV D VXEVWDQWLDO depreciation discount.

The Seller Left What?! Communication is important COMMUNITY Did the seller leave a nice potted plant or just an old broken pot?
R
ecently, a buyer purchased a beautiful contemporary home. :KHQ ZH ÂżUVW ZHQW WKURXJK LW ZH saw a chicken coop and a dog pen, both nicely done. During the transaction the seller announced they were selling the dog run, which was perfect, as my buyers did not want it.
When it came time to deliver keys, however, we were surprised to notice numerous wood boards lying behind the shed. Not only that, but there were also plastic piping left piled up, numerous plastic plant containers of all sizes, old paint and other unwanted items.
20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 9 - Issue 5 (May 2019)
Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for sellers to understand that when moving from a home, it is not an excuse for leaving items that are no longer desired or do not have time to address. Clear communication is vital regarding items no longer wanted. If there are a number of possessions that are ready for donation then either ask the buyer if they would like them or take them to the appropriate location for disposal and if necessary, pay for them to be hauled. For example, some buyers may want to utilize left over carpeting from the newly laid carpet put down to sell the house. In my
opening story, a buyer may want the extra wood boards, plastic piping, old pots, etcetera. But the point is to ask and not assume. Make the transition a positive one for the new homeowner rather than having them greeted with leftover belongings that need to be removed. I have seen sellers leave a potted plant, a lovely note, or a letter sharing what wonderful memories were experienced while living in the home, wishing the same upon the new owners. Transitioning to a new home is an exciting time and the seller can play a big role in making it the best experience possible.

Work the Crowd:
Shout out a friendly hello when people walk up, and let the customers come to you.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act pushy. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to haggle right away. However, in afternoons or near the end, negotiate.

ver 20 million American women suffer from some type of bladder leaking. But often, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too embarrassed to talk about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is probably the most common theme in my incontinent patients: they think they are the only one who leaks,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Sarah Boyles, a Urogynecologist at The Oregon Clinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many women have this problem but are too embarrassed to talk about it even with their friends, let alone a doctor.â&#x20AC;? This common condition is often thought to only impact older women, but even teens can have leakage. Many different factors can lead to urinary incontinence. Pregnancy and childbirth are common contributing factors, but urinary incontinence is also common among elite runners and athletes who do high impact sports. Risk factors including obesity, chronic coughing due
to lung disease, nerve damage, and repeated heavy lifting can all contribute to this condition. Urinary incontinence can be isolating. Some women stop doing activities they love, like traveling or hiking, out of embarrassment or fear they will leak. Running, playing sports and staying active are great ways to lead a healthy life. With many simple and non-invasive treatment options available, urinary incontinence should not be something that prevents anyone from getting outside or exercising. Anyone suffering from urinary incontinence should talk
to their doctor, and consider seeing a Urogynecologist. A Urogynecologist is a medical specialist who specializes in ZRPHQÂśV SHOYLF Ă&#x20AC;RRU SURElems, including urinary incontinence.

Meet bartender Steven Pistor Giving moms a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day they deserve A worker who makes me smile!
Here are some suggestions LEARNING CORNER
LOCAL BUSINESS
B
or those who encounter Steven Pistor in the copper colored atmosphere of First Street Taqueria, the answer is, yes. For almost three years, Steven has been a bartender and server at First Street Taqueria (formerly Watson Hall) and is passionate about bringing neighbors together by proudly serving innovative drinks and fresh modern tacos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever your way of life is, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all looking for good tacos and good drinks.â&#x20AC;? The key to Stevenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to â&#x20AC;&#x153;create memorable experiences,â&#x20AC;? is in his approach to interactions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How would I treat this person if this was my home?â&#x20AC;? As a bartender, Pistor makes the bar â&#x20AC;&#x153;a sacred space,â&#x20AC;? for customers to unwind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter who you are, you can leave saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;that was a good part of my day.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? His ebullient and relaxed demeanor combined with focused attention on every customer, fosters a sense of genuine hospitality and social harmony. Steven is an active part of the area by supporting local businesses daily. After spending a month in Thailand, Pistor couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to â&#x20AC;&#x153;get back to the community, businesses, and workâ&#x20AC;? in Beaverton. Residing nearby, Steven wants the area to grow but believes
downtown â&#x20AC;&#x153;needs better parking.â&#x20AC;? He also hopes the city will keep the â&#x20AC;&#x153;spirit of family owned businesses alive.â&#x20AC;? His favorite places include: Solace and Fine Espresso, Ex Novo, Spool and Pen, Thornton Coffee, and Decarliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. To Misa Thompson at Solace, Steven is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the heart of any community heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in.â&#x20AC;? Pistor believes Beaverton is unique from other places because â&#x20AC;&#x153;everyone is supportive of each other,â&#x20AC;? and that the community focuses on â&#x20AC;&#x153;enjoying what we have in common.â&#x20AC;? By being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;conscious part of others HQMR\PHQW ´ 6WHYHQ 3LVWRU UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWV the spirit of Beavertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goodwill. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drink to that! Frances Quaempts is homemaker, dog wrangler, and writer who can often be found hanging out in downtown Beaverton.
Ask Her About Her Interests This may seem obvious, but asking Mom what she likes or is interested in could be the best way to making her Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day genuinely enjoyable. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advocate for merely asking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom, what do you want for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day?â&#x20AC;? because that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel particularly thoughtful. Take a more subtle approach. You could ask her if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found any new books that captivated her attention or ask about the new hobby sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken up.
We feature housemade draft margaritas! â&#x20AC;˘ TACOS â&#x20AC;˘ BOTANAS
Give Her Time to Herself It may seem counterintuitive, but some moms would just like a break (especially those of us with toddlers). Wanting a few hours to herself for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is totally acceptable. She should be able to do whatever she feels like doing without any guilt for doing so.
Call your Mother My mom (and my grandmother for that matter) appreciate this the most since we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to visit as often as we would like. Of FRXUVH , FRXOG VHQG Ă&#x20AC;RZHUV EXW what they really want is to hear my voice and have a meaningful conversation.
Take the lead on managing the day Many mothers feel exhausted because they handle the majority of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management. They juggle doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments, driving the kids to various activities and making sure everyone has their homework packed for school just to name a few. Let her relish a day where she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to make ANY decisions and can simply enjoy the day planned out for her. Treat her to a nice meal Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is one of the busiest days of the year for most restaurants. If you decide to take mom out for brunch, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in good company.

F
eing a mom is hard work. It takes a toll physically, mentally, and emotionally. As mothers, we give our children so much of our time, energy, and personal space. We do it willingly of course because our children are worth it. As Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day rolls around, I would implore you to make sure the moms you know feel appreciated and loved (because they absolutely are). Most of us, myself included, fail to grasp how much our mothers contribute to our lives until we reach adulthood. Therefore, kids will need a little help from the adults in their life to show their gratitude. After conducting extensive research (aka talking to other mothers I know) here are a few ways you can give the moms in your life a Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day that they deserve.

hank you for your interest in Portland Farm Girl. I grew up always wanting to live on a farm, rescue racehorses and work with with children in the garden. That dream was realized and Portland Farm Girl was born. Portland Farm Girl is all about the healthiest and best tasting organic and heirloom vegetables
available. Every plant is started from heirloom seeds or propagated from our little farm in West Linn. Children are a huge part of this endeavor. When a child plants, harvests and learns to cook what they
grow they blossom! It is exciting for them and forms the beginnings of their healthy eating lives. Every Saturday between 10-11 we will have a FREE “kids corner”. The ¿UVW ZHHN ZLOO EH DVVHPEOLQJ \RXU own pinecone birdseed hanger to take home. Following weeks will feature fairy gardens, succulents, harvesting seeds and more. Come visit! We are going to have some really unique and rare varieties, both starts and vegetables! For more information, visit us at portlandfarmgirl.org
