Message from the Editor
Hello Beaverton, welcome to another issue of The Beaverton Resource Guide. As a full-color, monthly newspaper that’s dedicated to the positive aspects of our community, you can be sure to find interesting and uplifting stories about what makes our city one of the best in the country (ranked #3 nationally for “Best Places to Raise a Family” in 2018 by www.livibility.com). The goal of The BRG is simple and can be easily read at the top of each page: connecting people who live, work or shop in and around Beaverton with the abundant local resources available. So whether you’re shopping and want to try out a new store or a new store that wants to reach out to new customers, The BRG is equally useful and happy to help play the role of match-maker. We also know a lot about what’s going on in the county and for those who are looking to get “Out & About”, we have the county’s event calendar, an exclusive with the Beaverton Farmers market, an extensive regional theatre line up, a full list of library programs as well as other announcements to help you connect to whatever interests you. The BRG is available for pickup at over 170 locations from major grocery retailers, restaurants, doctor offices and banks to city hall, hotels, regional libraries and the farmers market. For more information about advertising rates, current or past stories, distribution, our photo gallery and more, visit www.beavertonresourceguide.com. Thank you and I hope you had as much fun reading this issue as I had putting it together. Sincerely, Michael Wong (Managing Editor)

sk people what they think of running or jogging, and you get a variety of responses. Some people hate it, some people love it. Some people think it’s a great... in theory. Some have tried to become runners, only to be sidelined with injuries, lack of time, or boredom. I’m one of those people that once thought of running as a means to an end. In my case, I ran as a youth so that I could be in better shape to play real sports like baseball or soccer. Somewhere between the timed fitness runs in gym class as an elementary school student and now, I have grown to love running. Running has become not only a hobby and exercise, but a spiritual practice. Have you ever wanted to have more time to pray, to think, reflect, and listen, but you just are too busy with the crazy lifestyle we have created for ourselves? We have all been there at one point or another. Most people that don’t run usually only associate pain and agony with such an activity, but it has truly become a time and space for connection with the divine in some most amazing ways. I like to think of running as intentional time where I am able to stretch the physical body in ways that connect with my humanity and the world around me. Breathing becomes so focused and rhythmic that it may resemble meditation. When we run, we force oxygen throughout our bodies, reminding ourselves of the life-giving breath of God that is within all of us. I pray as I run. Sometimes each minute or mile becomes a unique prayer topic or a person I want to be mindful of. Sometimes I pray aloud (weird guy talking to himself as he runs), sometimes I pray silently. I listen to the world around
me: the birds in the branches, the breeze blowing through the trees, running of the waters. For those who live in the urban jungles, perhaps there are other sounds that are life-giving! Running has become a daily reminder of the dedication and discipline that is needed in order to achieve goals, and ultimately to enjoy such an activity. Like many hard and challenging activities in life, running becomes so much more enjoyable and life-giving with the more time we put into it. Running can lead to community. Now, running can be quite solitary at times as well (which has its own spiritual benefits), but there are great communities of runners around the world. What better way to experience God than with others over a shared activity? This may not inspire anyone to become a runner anytime soon, but I do hope that we are inspired to look for God in the ordinary during this season of Lent. And if you are ever in the area and want to go for a run, just give me a call!

Connecting Businesses to Local Customers Business Spotlight: World of Smiles
It’s a World of Smiles At World of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry Local Business
D
r. Michelle Stafford, the owner and founder of World Of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry knew even before completing dental school that she would go on to specialize in kids’ dentistry. She was inspired to become a dentist in the first place after working for her Orthodontist while in high school, and witnessed firsthand the impact he was having on lives of young people. “I wanted to be able to start children off with a positive impression of the dentist from a very young age,” she says, adding, “So much of the fear and anxiety that exists around dentistry for entire generations is easily avoided by starting early, and making it fun!” How early? Dr. Stafford likes to see kids by age 1, or when their first teeth arrive.
www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
“So much of the fear and anxiety that exists around dentistry for entire generations is easily avoided by starting early, and making it fun!”
This is in line with both the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics. This has as much to do with acclimating kids as it does with educating the parents. Parents can ease their kids into the experience, while learning what to expect about oral health and development, and how to help their kids build strong habits. Establishing a dental home early also proves invaluable when the unexpected happens.
Knowing who to call when a tooth is chipped or knocked out provides a lot of peace of mind. Since it was founded back in 2008, World Of Smiles has continued to grow and evolve. About two years ago, Dr. Stafford noticed that she was running out of room in the schedule for new patients and had to “graduate” kids out of the practice as they reached double digits. The solution seemed obvious! So, in December of 2017, she expanded across the
hall to create a Teen office, allowing her patients to remain in the practice for many more years. Dr. Devin Bowyer joined the team as well to provide care for the teen population, and even their parents! More recently, World Of Smiles welcomed Dr. E. Chioma Onwuka to the practice! She is a board-certified pediatric dentist who recently moved to the area from California. As a pediatric dentist, Dr. Onwuka values preventive dentistry as the core of her practice philosophy. For this reason, she strives to build strong relationships with her patients and their families in order to provide adequate oral health education and in turn quality,
comprehensive dental care. World Of Smiles is excited to see what the next ten years will bring! They continue to invest in education and professional advancement for their team in order to bring the best technology and resources to their patient families. As always, they remain committed to inspiring children through a uniquely positive dental experience by creating an atmosphere of imagination, travel and adventure.

What is your bridge of yum? Better yet, what is “A Bridge Of Yum”???
If you add a Bridge of Yum to your business...it will take constant time, energy, resources and consistency. Let’s get back to what a Bridge of Yum is. Tim Miles is an exceptional marketing expert, based out of the Midwest. He is an author, a speaker and a consultant. Years ago, one of his restaurant clients in Missouri created The Bridge of Yum! BRIDGE OF YUM: After every meal, everyone at the table received a HOT, right out of the oven chocolate chip cookie, along with a shot glass of ice-cold milk! WOW! Is there a better combo?? The cookies and milk are free!! No charge! Just a thank you for choosing us! We appreciate you joining us! Have a treat on us! Now, for regulars, it’s something to look forward to and always fun (and tasty)!! For new customers that don’t know about the Bridge Of Yum, imagine their surprise when these HOT cookies and ICE-COLD milk arrive. They did not order them...but how fun when they are told they are a gift. SO, WHAT IS A BRIDGE OF YUM? I have not gotten there yet, have I? Imagine picking up a HOT, right out of the oven chocolate chip cookie and pulling it apart. That HOT, gooey, yummy chocolate will stretch between both halves of the cookie. THAT... IS THE BRIDGE OF YUM! More than just a treat...more than just a thank you...The Bridge Of Yum is very powerful. No one

Beaverton Church of the Nazarene else does it. Most are not willing to do it. It takes extra effort and energy. The cookies and milk cost $$. But rather than thinking of this as a cost, place it in your marketing budget and call it an investment. Sure, your service, product and overall engagement have to be spot on. That’s why people do business with you. But all things being equal (generally) in the business world...what are you doing to thank, dazzle and surprise your customers?

connecting Residents to their community Fresh Air: Zoo News is Good News
New program gives endangered Northwest frog a leg up So they can get back to the wild Oregon Zoo
H
undreds of imperiled northern leopard frogs will be hopping back into the wild soon, thanks to a pilot recovery program at the Oregon Zoo. The froglets, which the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife collected as eggs earlier this spring, are growing big and strong in the zoo’s conservation lab. “The Oregon Zoo has a great track record for head-starting native species, and we’re thrilled to be able
to help northern leopard frogs too,” said Shelly Pettit, the zoo’s senior keeper for reptiles and amphibians. “The froglets are doing really well so far. We’re doing everything we can to get them ready to go back to the wild.”
Once abundant throughout North America, northern leopard frogs are rapidly disappearing from their native ranges in Washington, Oregon and western Canada. In Washington, where the zoo-reared froglets will
be released, the species has been listed as endangered since 1999 and only one known population remains. “The froglets came to us as eggs, and we’re keeping them safe, warm and fed until they grow legs and can hop on their own,” Pettit said. “A big, healthy young frog has a much better chance of surviving in the wild than an egg or a tadpole.” Though the reason for the northern leopard frog’s decline in the Pacific Northwest is still unknown, it is likely due to a combination of threats from habitat loss, disease, non-native species,

By head-starting the frogs at the zoo, Pettit and her team are hoping to combat these threats and grow the population of northern leopard frogs in the region. “We’re at a critical point for this species,” Pettit said. “We’re doing everything we can to help northern leopard frogs thrive again in the Pacific Northwest.”

A fire-dependent pine
Q&A w/Bonnie Hays

E
ach month, you will have the chance to have your questions answered by the animal shelter. Email your questions to Jennifer_Keene@ co.washington.or.us and we will try to answer as many as possible. I know my cat has a microchip, but I’m not sure which company it is with or whether my contact information is correct. What can I do? We always encourage people to regularly check their chip to make sure it is still functioning and that the contact information associated with it is current. It can take a few steps to verify everything, but the time spent will be well worth it if your pet ever gets lost. First, have your pet scanned for a microchip. Your veterinarian’s office should be able to do that free of charge. They will be able to give you the chip number. Then, go to PetMicrochipLookup.org and enter the number. This database from the American Animal Hospital Association will tell you which company manufactured the chip. Next, go to that

company’s website to verify your information. Some you can do online and others you may need to call. Finally, you can create a secondary registration at FoundAnimals.org for free. We can also add your pet’s microchip information to our records here at Animal Services. My dog loves to go places, and I love bringing her with me in the summer. What are the rules for dogs at restaurants and bars? According to the Oregon Health Authority, there a special rule provision that allows food service operators such as restaurants, bars and food cart pods the ability to offer designated outdoor seating for patrons wishing to dine with their dogs. Such eateries must have written procedures that demonstrate how public health concerns will be

addressed, such as prohibiting employees from touching the dogs, and providing a way for people with dogs to access the area without traveling through the main restaurant. Permission to dine outdoors with your dog is at the discretion of the restaurant, so always ask politely and make sure that both you and your pet demonstrate your best manners. Of course, services dogs are always allowed, including indoors.

• Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade. • Plant type: Single leader coniferous tree. • Foliage: Dark green needles, often twisted. Grow in groups of two. • Fruit/Flower: Short cones with spike-tipped scales.
T
he Lodgepole pine can be found throughout many parts of Oregon, as well as down through central California and up through Washington and western Canada. Identifiable by its twisted branches and spiraling needle growth, this fire-dependent pine can often be found in large stands that spring up in burned out forest areas. Its cones, which will remain closed until exposed to a heat source, are 1 to 3 inches long, and usually short and cylindrical or egg-shaped. As a fire-dependent tree, the Lodgepole helps fill a vital niche in forest ecosystems. After a large fire, this pine will be one of the earliest trees to spring up, bringing back food, shade, and harborage for a variety of displaced wildlife. One of the unique aspects of this pine is its ability to grow in
soil conditions that other trees might find hostile. This is partially due to the common occurrence of the fungus suillus tomentosus alongside the Lodgepole, which provides an ideal environment for nitrogen-fixing bacteria to grow. This tree was of particular value to Native Americans of the northwest. The tall, straight trunks were ideal for constructing lodges or other buildings. The inner bark was harvested and eaten or stored for the winter months, and the pitch was used for a variety of medicinal purposes. In modern times, the wood is used to make plywood, paneling, mine props, and fence posts.

I have the usual pug weak back legs, but I still get around just fine except for stairs. I am house trained, but because of my rear leg issues, sometimes I can poop without knowing it, but hey that is pretty easy to manage! A perfect home for me would be with someone who just wants a pug to hang out on their lap...yes that is right I love to be held and just hang out with you, I am a expert level snuggler!

he Pet Care industry is big, and it’s growing. So how does a new pet care business stand out in growing market? Ask Beaverton resident, and business owner, Rafael Montelongo. He will tell you there are three things that BARKLANDIA, Beaverton’s newest doggie daycare, grooming, and pet hotel does to stand out: Provide a quality service and be passionate about it; Earn the trust of clients by being consistent, reliable, and most importantly, learning from mistakes that are made, and finally, have a higher purpose or mission that guides your work. Enter the slogan, “Pet Care with a Purpose”. For Montelongo, that manifests in a belief that personal and professional fulfillment can be found by giving back to others. For Barklandia, that means a portion of all daycare profits are shared with Wounded Warrior Project® and 4 Paws for Ability®. Both
foundations are aimed at improving the quality of life of others… for WWP it’s about helping those who has been injured while serving in the military…for 4 Paws it about providing highly trained service dogs to enrich the lives of children living with medical conditions. Barklandia also offers a Pet Hotel discount to those on the front lines of service: First Responders, Active/Retired Military/Public Educators. “Opening Barklandia was a way to pursue my lifelong dream of owning my own pet care business, and do so in a way that can make the world a better place for everyone.” Montelongo says.

Fire Chief Deric Weiss Takes Helm of TVF&R With a commitment to innovation Public Safety
S
ince the formation of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue in 1989, there have only been three fire chiefs. On July 1, Chief Deric Weiss became the fourth. In a traditional “Transfer of Command Ceremony,” the responsibilities of providing service to 11 cities and four counties — as well as providing guidance to 650 career and volunteer personnel — passed from Chief Mike Duyck to Chief Weiss. Chief Duyck retired at the end of June after more than 30 years in the fire service. Following a rigorous internal selection process, the Board of Directors tapped Weiss, who Seal & Protect Your Concrete Surfaces Today!
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Deric Weiss gave his first public address after being sworn in as the district’s new fire chief during a Transfer of Command Ceremony on July 1 at Rolling Hills Community Church.
previously served as assistant chief, to take the helm of the district. Chief Weiss spent the beginning of 2019 working closely with Chief Duyck to ensure a
smooth leadership transition. “This is an exciting time,” said Chief Weiss. “Having a change in command is a rare occurrence for our department. We’ve benefitted from
having leaders who dedicated many years to this organization and the fire service. I have some big shoes to fill, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to serve.” Weiss volunteered and served as an intern before being hired by TVF&R as a firefighter in 1994. Since then, he served on the Hazardous Materials Team for several years and promoted through the ranks of apparatus operator, lieutenant, captain, battalion chief, division chief, and assistant chief. He’s been involved with several local and statewide fire service initiatives including emergency communications, dispatch, hazardous materials response, government affairs, and interoperability. Strengthening relationships with community partners and
exploring opportunities to work with other organizations to create safer communities are priorities for the new chief. In preparation for his new role, Chief Weiss evaluated what the District can do differently to enhance the services TVF&R provides, starting with a reorganization of work groups and operations. “I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead and getting to work,” Chief Weiss said. “I plan to have a renewed focus on our people, and I will carry on Chief Duyck’s commitment to innovation.”

On the road to discovery
Anyone missing $10,000 in cash?
Meet Jenecia
Money found on MAX train
Local Business
I
n May 2019, Jenecia Lawson had one thing on her mind – to become an active member of her new community. After relocating to Oregon from Florida, Jenecia came around to the idea of looking for employment, beginning her career path exploration journey with Dirkse Counseling and Consulting’s Discovery Specialist, Tara McIntosh. Discovery is a person-centered process for individuals like Jenecia to help identify their unique talents and contributions and help define their work interests through a wide range of activities, such as job shadows or informational interviews. With Jenecia’s interests and skills in mind, Tara connected with Dirkse CC’s Director of Business Development and Amplify! Events, Cindy Bahl, to have Jenecia participate in work experiences or job shadows, and to perform informational interviews. Having been active in the Portland metro area for over 22 years, it was easy for Dirkse CC to tap into the great partnerships with businesses in the community such as the Beaverton Downtown Association and Portland Badge & Sign. Kevin Teater, Executive Director of the Beaverton Downtown Association, was eager to have Jenecia come in and lend him a hand doing data entry. Through this work experience, she was able to learn a new task and gain new skills, while Tara observed Jenecia’s work performance and identified her strengths and weaknesses.
B Michael Carlson, owner of Portland Badge & Sign also provided a work experience for Jenecia, where she worked side-by-side with the office assistant, Alyssa learning how to greet customers, make phone calls, process payments, and file and shred documents. Alyssa also made time to sit down with Jenecia for an informational interview, helping her see if a job like this was the right fit for her. When Discovery Specialist, Tara, asked Jenecia what she likes the most about the Discovery process so far, she said that she loved the variety of tasks that she’s experienced, especially the ones in an office setting. After completing Discovery, Jenecia hopes to get an office position where she can keep herself busy and brighten her new coworkers’ lives with her exuberant personality.

ecause that’s exactly what a TriMet crew discovered on a MAX train during an overnight shift in Beaverton. The sanding team was checking the sand boxes on the trains, as they do every night. The sand is used at times to give the train wheels more traction and the boxes are stored under seats near the cabs of the trains. When one worker looked under a seat, he spotted some bills. He looked closer and discovered it was a “wad of cash.” Once the crew started counting it up, they discovered it was actually $10,000. The workers held up the stacks of cash so their actions could be captured by the security cameras on the train. The crewmembers alerted a supervisor and turned over the money. “I cannot believe someone would ditch money on a train,” said one of the service workers. “Those trains go from Gresham, through Portland to Beaverton and Hillsboro, and then back again. It seems like that’s a bad idea. Anyone could have found it.” Beaverton police were contacted because of the amount of money, along with the fact the money was clearly hidden
away on the train. Investigators could not connect the money to a specific crime. Nobody has come forward to claim the cash, either. “So, if you’re missing $10,000 that you left behind on a MAX train, contact Beaverton Police. However, you may have some explaining to do,” according to TriMet. If an owner is not identified, the money could go into the city of Beaverton’s general fund, based on the Oregon Revised Statutes found property rules. TriMet commended the
actions of the service workers. “They take a lot of pride in the job they do and their comradery on the graveyard shift. Their supervisor is proud of their actions too, not just when it comes to the cash but how they work hard every night to get the trains ready for TriMet’s riders,” according to a TriMet statement.

Socializing for Life The National Institute on Aging provides a few ideas to get you started:
One of four protective factors in brain health Senior Living
W
hat do dogs, young children, teenagers, young parents, middle-aged people and elders have in common? We all need socialization! Social engagement is one of four protective factors in brain health later in life. The Alzheimer’s Association provides the following facts: • Social engagement is associated with living longer with fewer disabilities • Staying engaged in the community offers you an opportunity to maintain your skills • Remaining both socially
and mentally active may support brain health and possibly delay the onset of dementia. Healthline adds, “Compelling research suggest seniors who spend most of their time in their immediate home environment are almost twice as likely to
develop Alzheimer’s disease compared to those who travel more.” While socializing is important, it’s not always easy to do. Changing abilities are a reality; however, everyone can stay engaged in meaningful activities with appropriate supports.
• Cultivate your social network (partner, children, friends), interacting with them daily to weekly. Go to visit friends or family. • Participate in social groups or any organization weekly • Visit a senior center and take part in its events and activities • Attend local events, such as the theater, concert, or a sporting event • Join a group interested in a specific hobby like knitting, hiking, bird watching, or painting • Visit local museums. Many offer free group tours. • Play cards or other games with friends • Volunteer at a local
nonprofit organization. • Take a cooking, art, dance, language or computer class. • Form or join a book or film club. Even as abilities change, everyone can engage in meaningful activities. Address barriers to participation. Is a care partner needed? Modifications to previously enjoyed activities might make them doable again. People who stay engaged experience a happier life.

The Fear of Selling One’s Home It can be an emotional journey Senior Living
S
elling a home is not only about addressing the possessions that have been collected; it is also about the emotional journey transitioning from one location to another. And fear is often a prominent emotion that arises. So how does one combat it and continue to move forward? Like training for a competition, one can prepare for a move mentally, physically and emotionally. Morning is the best time to prepare for the day, making it a perfect time to ‘exercise mentally’. Meditation calms and relaxes the mind and You Tube offers guided practices, short and long. Throughout the day, write ten things for which you are thankful. The benefit is it trains the mind to go towards the positive. Selling a home is stressful and can become personal. This activity helps to develop an arm’s length mentality, so when negotiations occur, it is not seen as a personal assault when the buyer aims for a price reduction or closing cost credit. Thirdly, create a vision board of why you are moving and
where you are moving next. This keeps you focused on the goal, maintains motivation and inspires joy. Physical preparation yields wonderful benefits. Three exercises that can serve any age are walking, yoga and swimming. They are gentle on the body, can be done at or near home and may be done if physical challenges exist. Lastly, is emotional training, which includes 6-8 hours’ sleep, drinking a quart to 1-gallon of water daily and eating healthily. Mental, physical and emotional training overlap and strengthen each other. Remember, being sale ready includes preparing yourself, as well as the home, making it as valuable as staging, addressing deferred maintenance and creating curbside appeal.

There was an earthquake in California last month and I was there! Oregon could be next so learn how to stay safe Student Essay
A
bout a month ago, I went to California to visit some family. What I didn’t know was that during my short three-day excursion, I would experience my first ever earthquake. Many of you are probably aware of the many earthquakes that have been occurring, specifically in California. Before I went there, I hadn’t really thought about the fact that I could potentially
be in one. Before I knew it, my aunt was informing me that I slept through two that happened during the night. I’m not going to lie; I was a little disappointed with myself and my heavy sleeping. To a small extent, I had always wondered how it would feel to be in an earthquake. Well, after the next day, July 5th, wondering was no longer necessary. I was at Disney California Adventure in line for the Incredicoaster when the 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck at approximately 8:20 pm. Since the earthquake was near Ridgecrest and I was in Anaheim, I didn’t feel it as
strongly as other parts of California. But, when I was in line and saw everything swaying as if I was in a rocking crib, I knew immediately that an earthquake was happening. The rides were shut down, and fortunately no one was hurt. Even though I thought the experience was in a way kind of thrilling, I’m well aware that these dangerous natural disasters should not be taken lightly. If you are ever in an earthquake, drop onto your hands and knees, cover your head and neck (either with your hands or go under a table), and hold on! Since Oregon is a higher risk

Meet Tina Richerson Founder Tina Richerson fell in love with music in fifth grade band class while living in Chelan, WA. and has followed her passion from that time forward. After completing her Baccalaureate (Univ. of Idaho) and Master’s degree (Univ. of Washington) in music, she began working as a band leader, freelance musician and educator in Seattle for 10 years. In 2006 she moved to New York City to do the same. Upon returning to the northwest in 2016 Tina recognized a gap in the education culture. “It seems There are many adult amateur and semi-pro musicians who would love to be in a steady small jazz ensemble improving their overall musicianship and improvisation skills. There are local youth programs and some located in Portland but nothing offered in Beaverton or year-round anywhere. So here we are!” Become a jazz master The study of Jazz offers high level technical growth and mastery. Jazz requires understanding and application of history, theory,
harmony and ear training to fully participate. When you study jazz, you study all aspects of music. This provides the best and most well-rounded musical education and experience. We address the essential elements of musicianship and teach you how to be the best contributing member in your small jazz ensemble. Nonverbal communication, focused listening, and group dynamics are essential for making great music.

The Devil’s Golden Handcuffs Genre: Allegory Flash Fiction
I
n a sleepy hamlet just over the hill, a man named Jim put an ad in the paper for a day-laborer to dig him a hole. Three townsfolk, being down on their luck, answered the ad. The first, a man well past his prime, spent half a day digging before Jim offered him a glass of water. The older man thanked Jim and drank, though it tasted tinny and stale. The man continued to dig at Jim’s direction, until he had a hole that was three feet wide, eight feet long, and six
feet deep. Then the man keeled over dead from a heart attack. The second, a single mother of three, spent considerably longer digging. Jim paid less than she’d have liked but a
fair market wage for digging. She was immeasurably strong and had babies to feed, so she returned, day after day, until the hole got hotter and the screams got louder and she could no longer see the opening at the top. Despite all her good intentions, she never saw her children again. The third, a young man with more debt than opportunity, took the job because he thought he was supposed to. But after the first shovelful, he became suspicious. When he hit three feet down, he asked, “What’s this hole for anyway?” Surprised, Jim responded,
“No one’s ever asked me that.” The young man suddenly noticed scores of other patches nearby, covered in loose earth. “I’ve hit a rock,” the man told Jim. “I can’t go any further.” “Nonsense,” said Jim, hopping into the hole to prove there was no rock. But once Jim started digging, the spell holding the young man transferred to Jim. The young man then scrambled out of the hole and away, leaving Jim to dig the same shovelful of dirt, over and over, for the rest of eternity.

Community Submission: Ask The Beaverton Car Guy
I heard that water spots can damage my car’s paint Is this true? Car Guy •
Hello Beaverton readers!
T
his month we are going to talk about horrible water spots on our vehicle’s paint and windows. Compared to other dreaded irritants to your car’s paint (like overspray, tar, squashed bugs, or other debris) water spots sound pretty tame. The fact is, that water spot has the potential to damage your paint every bit as much as many other troublesome contaminants. Water usually comes in contact with your car in one of three ways: • Overspray (sprinklers, etc.), • Nature (rain) • or washing So how can a little bit of water hurt your car’s finish? Water contains varying amounts of minerals and microscopic debris, or particle pollutants, which can not only dull your car’s finish but have the potential to do real harm to your vehicle’s paint. 1. Common Water Spot Regular old tap water can cause a buildup of total dissolved solids (TDS) on your car’s paint. Naturally occurring minerals are found in water. Hard water is rich in dissolved minerals, especially magnesium and calcium. These minerals lead to water spots or hard chalk-like deposits (called limescale) that are difficult to remove. 2. Bonded Mineral Particle pollutants include microscopic particles from sources
•
such as forest fires, smoke from wood stoves, emissions from industrial plants and vehicles, and dust from construction sites. These tiny particles can either fall on your car in the form of dust or mix with rainwater to plague your paint’s finish. Rainwater is always acidic to some degree. Acid rain, as we know it, is rain with higher amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids absorbed from the atmosphere. These contaminants combine to create water spots and leave behind hard deposits after the water evaporates. These deposits can bond to your car’s paint and even erode the clear coat If not removed properly. 3. Etching Etching is typically seen when water spots are baked into the finish as a result of high heat or direct sunlight. Severe etching can require the use of an abrasive means to correct the situation including wet sanding for severe cases. A qualified professional is recommended in this scenario as improper handling and application can lead to irreparable damage to the car body.
20 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 9 - Issue8 (August 2019)
How to remove water spots from your car. A solid start is a complete wash and dry. Yes, I know you know how to wash a car, but here are a few tips and reminders to make your car washing experience more efficient and successful. Many dealers recommend using portable deionizers or in-line water softeners for car washing. While water quality is an all-important aspect of water spotting prevention, many consumers do not own or can’t afford these extras. As an alternative, buy a few gallons of distilled water at your local grocery store to use as a final rinse after washing your car and rinsing with your ordinary tap water. Tips for Washing your Car • Avoid washing your car in direct sunlight. A shaded area goes a long way to help keep your entire car wet during the washing process so that water does not dry on the car and lead to more water spots. • Be sure that you rinsed all loose debris away from the car. Never wipe a dry car or begin washing before rinsing away debris or you may inadvertently scratch
•
•
the finish. It’s preferable to use a washing mitt with long strands that will not grind debris into the car. The all-important rinse bucket will keep your mitt or sponge clear of dirt and grime as you wash so that you are not depositing that dirt onto other areas as your wash. Be sure to replace dirty rinse water as needed. Wash the wheels first to prevent soot and grime from splashing on the clean car. Have plenty of clean drying towels on hand. Never air dry your car as evaporation is not your friend. A thorough drying process will go a long way to preventing new water spots and will leave your finish looking much nicer. We recommend using good quality microfiber towels. White vinegar is a low pH form of acetic acid and is a great hard water spot remover. The minerals found in hard water such as calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) have a high pH factor and usually respond well when treated with vinegar or other low pH removers. Prepare the vinegar solution by emptying equal parts of white vinegar and distilled water into the bucket.
Preventing Water Spots As with any maintenance and repair, prevention is critical. The best way to get rid of water spots on your car is through routine care. • Keep your vehicle clean – Wash your car on a regular basis and never air dry. • Always use a clean, soft towel or microfiber cloth to dry your car thoroughly. • Use a quality car wax or sealant to keep your car’s finish protected and looking good. • Watch where you park – Avoid areas where sprinklers or overspray is likely to occur. I hope this information is useful, as 3 or 4 people have asked about water spot removal due to sprinklers and not drying their vehicle after washing. Thank You all for reading.

A guide from a Beaverton mom Essay

lthough it’s back to school season, the reality is kids need new clothes all the time. Between growth spurts, season changes, and the general messiness of life, there’s always a reason to be on the hunt for kid’s apparel. Any parent knows, your kids’ clothing, shoes, and accessories add up fast. Thankfully, there are a variety of options to keep their closet within budget. Consignment Shops My first stop (for about anything kid related) is a consignment shop. Stores sell gently used clothing, toys, and more, at a deep discount. Shops inspect every item for quality before accepting them for sale. Since little kids are notorious for growing out of things instantaneously, you can easily find pieces in new (or likenew) condition. My personal favorites around Beaverton include Baby to Baby, Baby & Me, and Hoot-n-Annie. Consignment Events Twice a year (spring and fall), several businesses host pop-up consignment sales. These multi-day events are fantastic places to find deals on all things kid related for ANY age. Typically, the final day offers an additional 50% off many items. Consignors price items themselves, so you can find real STEALS on clothes, shoes, toys, and more. You’ll need to come early for the best selection and be prepared to spend some time in line as these events are POPULAR.

e all enjoy more time outdoors when the sun is out. Unfortunately, 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime as a result of sun exposure. The good news is that sunscreen and covering up can help prevent skin cancer including its deadliest form, melanoma. “Understanding how sunscreen works can help you better protect your skin, reducing the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging,” says Dr. Rebecca Bremner of The Oregon Clinic Portland Dermatology. Physicians recommend regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreens on sun-exposed skin to help prevent skin cancer and slow visible signs of aging. Choose the Right Sunscreen • For the best protection, sunscreen should be SPF 50+
and broad-spectrum (able to protect against UVA and UVB). SPF refers only to how well sunscreen protects against UVB. • Look for these key UVA-blocking ingredients: Avobenzone, Mexoryl, Zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide How Much Sunscreen Do I Need? • About 1 ounce—a shot glass full or a large adult handful—should be enough to cover an adult’s entire body.
or swimming. Apply sunscreen prior to sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen before spending prolonged time in the car, since UVA passes through the glass windows and can harm skin. Avoid Direct Sunlight & Wear Sun-Protective Clothing • Avoid midday sun exposure and cover up with clothing, a broad-brimmed hat, and sunglasses. Thorough sun protection requires multiple elements: effective sunscreen, protective clothing and avoiding peak UV hours between 10am and 2pm, when rays are most harmful.
How Often Should I Apply Sunscreen? • Sunscreen loses effectiveness after a few hours. You should apply ample amounts of sunscreen every 2 hours, even if you’re not sweating

Summer Hydration

Health
s temperatures slowly but surely climb and we spend more of our day on outside activity, it’s time to remind ourselves of the importance of hydration. Fluids are essential for the proper function of every single system of your body. According to a recent Harvard medical study, the average person needs 30-50 ounces of water a day to maintain a healthy body. Surprisingly, the Mayo clinic reports caffeinated beverages like coffee and tea don’t actually increase your risk of dehydration . However, caffeine can contribute to headaches or disruption of your sleep patterns, so water is still the healthiest choice of beverage. Water not only helps to keep your body cool, but also carries nutrients through your blood, carries toxins out of your body, protects your organs and spinal cord, and lubricates your joints. Some tips to make sure you drink enough water throughout the day:
• Drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up in the morning and before every meal • Carry a reusable water bottle with you to work or in the car so you always have water on hand • Include foods in your diet that hydrate, such as watermelon, tomatoes, or leafy greens • Drink water before and after exercise, and any prolonged time spent in the sun Chiropractic Physicians particularly recommend hydration before and after any bodywork, as it helps to flush out toxins and makes your regular chiropractic adjustments easier. So whether you’re playing in the sun or relaxing in the air conditioning, make water your best friend all year round.

The Leaning Tower
Port of Livorno
A
s a native Oregonian, I should be able to ignore the rain showers as our Princess Cruise ship approached the largest sea port in Italy, the port of Livorno. Since ancient times, the city has always been an important port, holding as many as 300 ships in its harbor. The port was so important that for a time, Napoleon took over the city in 1808. Built in a natural cove, Livorno was ruled by the Republic of Pisa throughout the Middle Ages. It was sold to Milan in 1399 (ruled by the Visconti family) and then in 1407, it was sold to Genoa. Finally, in 1421 Livorno was sold to Florence and for the next 300 years, it was under the rule of the Medici family. Unfortunately, the city was damaged during the World War II bombings that destroyed
many landmarks and historical buildings including the Cathedral and the Synagogue. We didn’t have much time at this port as we headed to the town of Pisa. The town of Pisa The distance from the port of Livorno to the town of Pisa is approximately 3 hours of motor-coaching through the winding, Tuscany country side and spotting their legendary wineries, and the occasional sheep. Our guide for the day, Martina, was very informative and once we arrived into the town of Pisa, our motor coach had to park only in areas reserved just for motor coaches. Definitely wear good walking
shoes. Martina was instrumental in guiding us through the many cobblestone streets, back alleys and even a street named ‘Leonardo da Vinci’, to reach our destination – the leaning tower of Pisa. Though the walk was about 35 minutes, our guide never stopped talking about the rich history of this town. The fascinating stone wall, seen on our walk around the city, is a prime example of a medieval wall that is mostly still intact. A major trade center, Pisa was under constant attack and is understandably why they built such a great wall. Our walk ended with a glimpse first of the beautiful and imposing Cathedral and Baptistery that are
Originally built as a freestanding bell tower for the city’s cathedral, it is a marvel of architectural wonder from the middle ages. The cathedral complex (or Piazza dei Miracoli, which means Field of Miracles), includes the cathedral, Baptistery and the bell tower. The first building constructed was the cathedral, or Duomo di Pisa, which rests on a white marble pavement and is an impressive example of Romanesque architecture. The next building added was the baptistery just west of the dome. The tower was built on top of subsoil and due to the watery ground, the foundation was initially built only 10 feet deep. Fun Fact: As the first story of the tower was completed, the south side began to sink. The builders tried to make it look better by building the columns and arches on the south side
about an inch taller than those on the north side. However, by the time they got to the fourth story, they had to make the southern columns 2 inches taller than the northern ones. The tower just continued to lean, and because of the difficulties the construction was stopped. It would take 172 years to complete the tower, even as it leaned more and more. This town is worth a second visit not only for the incredible history but to sample the many wineries and restaurants waiting to be discovered!

Health
he skin is a large organ – it weighs almost 10 pounds on the average adult and covers about 2 square meters of territory. It provides a barrier from the outside world and gives shelter to the internal world. It protects us against light, friction, temperature extremes and infectious agents. It serves as a calorie reservoir, gives us sensations for both pleasure and pain and serves to warn us against danger. It allows us to
grasp and manipulate objects. Our skin also reflects our internal health and shows signs of illness – ranging from mild to serious. Our skin’s health depends on many factors: adequate water, good nutrition, healthy fats, moisture, some—but
not too much sun—and hormones. If you suffer from chronic skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, try a hypoallergenic diet for 6 weeks. Foods like dairy, gluten, sugar, alcohol, corn and eggs can all trigger skin reactions. Vegetables and richly colored fruits are high in antioxidants which protect the skin from aging. Healthy fats rich in omega fatty acids—such as raw nuts and seeds, fish (avoid tuna and shark), avocados and olives—help heal and nourish your skin. These dietary changes, along with
an omega rich supplement, can make a huge difference. When I do a dietary cleanse, I am often amazed at how much softer and healthier my skin feels. Washing too often, or with water that is too hot, can strip your skin of healthy oils and bacteria and lead to dry itchy skin. Use warm water, gentle cleanser or even green tea to clean your face. Put on a clean simple moisturizing cream after washing. While some sun is good for your skin, too much increases aging and is a risk factor in many skin cancers.

When you need a serene moment, or a treat, stop in either location to taste our wines or call ahead and schedule a private tasting or tour of the winery with our warm, friendly staff. We also play host to lively events such as “Buy Local” bazaars, release parties, holiday teas, painting classes, and more.
