This photo was taken specifically for the BRG by local photographer, Yoshiko Wong. She used a Cannon EOS R with a EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM lense. The well-behaved subject is Alfie, a 3 month old toy poodle. The pumpkin came from the Aloha Costco and the Halloween props from the Dollar Tree, also in Aloha. Instagram @yoshikowongphoto

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)
2 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 9 - Issue 10 (October 2019)
few years back, a group of community leaders met with the mayor of Denver, Colorado to learn how they could better support the needs of the Denver metropolitan area. The Mayor, Bob Frie, listed off several local organizations that were in need of support. After detailing the needs of the community, Mayor Frie paused and said, “The majority of the issues that our community faces would be eliminated or drastically reduced if we could just figure out a way to become a community of great neighbors.” (The Art of Neighboring, John Pathak & Dave Runyon, 2012) Reflecting upon this story, I think it’s fair to ask the question: how would our community be impacted and enriched if we took it upon ourselves to be good neighbors? When the summer sun begins to fade behind the fall rainstorms, we tend to become a bit more detached from the people around us, especially those in our neighborhoods. What if we made an effort to connect with our neighbors this fall? What if we decided
to bless the 5 or 6 families that live closest to us? Blessing our neighbors could be a lot of fun, so let’s get creative in how we do it! • You could rake the leaves for your next-door-neighbor, • buy a housewarming gift for the family that just moved in, • invite someone over to watch the football game, • meet up for a cup of coffee, • or just take a few minutes to have a conversation outside your home before closing the garage door. It is that type of relationship-building that can make a lasting difference in your neighborhood and subsequently in the community at-large! This fall, let’s make an effort to be better neighbors.

Connecting Businesses to Local Customers Business Spotlight: Fall Fitness Roundup
Fall fitness advice from 4 local businesses Fall Fitness Roundup Local Business
A
s cooler weather approaches and the temptation to eat more and move less increases, we asked local fitness experts to give readers advice on how to stay fit this autumn.
Born to Ride NW Inspired by Soul Cycle and boutique yoga studios, Paula Levy’s digital-free full workout cycling gym and bar is a great fit for those “who like smaller more intimate gyms.” Since 2018, Born to Ride features a “judgement free cycling space,” that welcomes a wide range of ages, and offers participants the freedom to decide their workout intensity. Born to Ride incorporates core exercises, interval training with weights, TRX
suspension, and even lunges in parking lot. Fall Tip: “Work with limitations cold weather may produce,” Levy says. She also highlights the importance of cross training, trying different things, and enjoying what the body can do. Visit Born to Ride NW at 8340 SW Nimbus Ave. Beaverton, www.borntoridenw.com (503)469-8444
Portland Fitness Equipment (see ad page 14) For 25 years Portland Fitness Equipment has been selling high quality home gyms, cardio equipment, weight machines, and fitness gear to self-motivated customers who like to work out independently or compliment their gym workouts at home. Kim Moore has been a specialist with Portland Fitness since 1994 and says home-based fitness is convenient and saves money. While no one fitness machine “does it all,” Moore notes rowing machines are a great option because they work out 85% of muscle groups in less time.
Fall Tip: Kim suggests thinking ahead about fall fitness needs. “Try spinning or rowing machines for cold weather joint pain.” She says “cross training is important.” Visit Portland Fitness Equipment at 11685 SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy. Beaverton, (503)-905-9725 portlandfitnessequipment.com
Fitness for 40 Plus Husband and wife team Bob Shabasson and Maya Rhinewine along with their son, started Fitness for 40 Plus in 2013 and have been in their current location since 2016. Bob is a retired army major and both he and Maya worked for Portland and Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation divisions. Fitness for 40 Plus is a community focused studio gym featuring self-paced classes
designed so “clients constantly progress.” Circuits change daily and trainers customize workouts based on client goals from climbing the Himalayas to Olympic lifting to yoga. Fall tip: “Just start and do something you enjoy.” Bob and Maya also suggest trying small classes to stay motivated and accountable. Visit Fitness for 40 Plus at 8134 SW Beaverton Hillsdale Hwy. Portland, www.fitnessfor40plus.com (503) 799-5883
9 Round In 2016 co-owners Ingrid and Jeff Sanders opened 9 Round, a kickboxing studio gym featuring 30 minute workouts. Weights, calisthenics, and high intensity intervals are utilized to spike up the heartrate, generating an effective workout in less time. 9 Round is fully accessible to those in wheelchairs and the
Sanders have literally worked by hand to provide “a great place for new people and those who don’t like gyms.” Fall Tip: “Stay in motion because blood sugar doesn’t care what time of year it is.” They say fall is a perfect time to focus on gaining stamina to mitigate the stress of going back to school and holiday busyness. Visit 9 Round at 4105 SW 117th Ave., Suite D, Beaverton, (503) 372-5166 www.9round.com Frances Quaempts is homemaker, dog wrangler, and writer who can often be found hanging out in downtown Beaverton.
Celebrating 25 years of improving the lives & health of Oregonians, like you. (503) 935-8000 I OregonClinic.com www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

Customer Service Is Hard Wait...No It’s Not! Business Advice
I’m a happy customer!
T
here is a thing that all business owners and managers should commit to memory, and pledge action to: THE ECONOMY OF THE LOYAL CUSTOMER! Finding new customers is incredibly more expensive than keeping current ones. It is also much more labor intensive! In an era of Blah Corporate Customer Service...where ignoring the customer or doing the bare minimum is rampant...you have amazing opportunities to dazzle customers...keeping them for life...and essentially making them brag about you to their circles!! Being proactively service minded is easy, and fun...when you have the right mindset, embrace it, and want to do it! Warning: It does take constant training, polishing and practicing. It takes effort. But what happens when things go wrong? What happens when you or one of your employees makes a costly error? Do you ignore the situation? Bury your head in the sand? Wait too long to fix the problem? Do the blah bare minimum to “fix” it? Bad Idea! Your current customers have chosen you!! They picked YOU to give you amazing gifts: THEM...THEIR $...THEIR TIME...THEIR LOYALTY!
This is why you exist! You do not exist for you. If you are in business, you exist for those you serve. That’s the deal! Keeping a loyal customer is so incredibly valuable, and much more cost effective that recruiting new ones. Yeah, both are important...but those current gift givers already believe in you. They want to be loyal to you. They want to be treated right. So, when something goes wrong: Fix it yesterday! When a mistake is made: Do not ignore it! When your customer is upset and/or has a problem: Make it better...NOW! Not tomorrow. Lose your loyal customers, and not only do you lose a valuable part of your business... but you also lose someone who brags about you, and gain someone who complains about you. OUCH! Basic stuff...right? It is! It’s Business Common Sense! It’s Customer Service 101! So why are so many businesses bad at customer service? Make sure you thrive at keeping your customers happy...and your business will thrive! You are here for them! • Make It Easy for People to Do, and Keep Doing Business with You! • Look Up…and Surprise Someone!

Relief from TMJD is just around the corner with help from your local chiropractor
D
Health
o you experience chronic pain in your jaw, difficulty opening it fully, or having it lock up? Perhaps there’s a popping or clicking sound when you open and close your mouth. If so, you could be one of the estimated 10 million Americans that suffer from some form of TMJD. TMJD, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, is inflammation and dysfunction occurring around the joint where your jaw attaches to your skull just in front
Some people find temporary relief with massage or cold packs, and others turn to irreversible procedures like filing down the teeth or even surgery. While the pain and discomfort TMJD causes can come and go, the
of your ears. There is no consensus on what causes TMJD, but many researchers point to bruxism (grinding your teeth), poorly aligned bite, nail biting, or even injuries to the jaw as possible factors.
underlying issue of a misaligned jaw remains. Luckily, there is a method many people don’t realize has proven effective in not only relieving the symptoms, but targeting the underlying cause: chiropractic. With the implementation of specific scientific adjustments, your Chiropractic Physician is able to realign the joint and allow your body’s natural healing process to take over. By focusing on restoring the body’s ability to heal itself, Chiropractic is able to provide a non-invasive and non-surgical solution for people seeking relief from TMJD.
The Chiropractic profession applies this same philosophy to the entire body: by restoring your body’s own healing ability, you are able to take your health into your own hands without the use of pills, injections, or surgical procedures. Give our office a call, and we can help you find a Chiropractor near you!

Employer Spotlight: Dirkse CC
Beaverton business is tapping into the world of disability inclusion and finding dependable and reliable help
I
Local Business
n case you haven’t heard, there is a labor shortage in the United States and it’s even being felt here in Beaverton. Factors such as the increase in the minimum wage, the rising cost of medical insurance, historically low unemployment rates, and even underemployment are all contributing to this issue. Employers are stretched thin, seeking to find better ways to fill vacant positions with skilled and reliable candidates. Some employers, however, are turning to an untapped pool of candidates who have historically been overlooked and underutilized in their communities.
At a recent workshop in Beaverton, Dirkse CC Training and Curriculum Development Specialist, Andrew Lundgren, M.A., LMFT, LPC shared with attendees the answer to their hiring problems: tapping into the world of disability inclusion. By putting aside fears, biases, and myths of employing people with disabilities, employers can move from a place of anxiety to a place of relief, hope, and improve their bottom line through disability inclusion. Here are some suggestions that were shared
to help support and overcome these barriers: • Look at your hiring practices - are they accessible to all people? • Learn about disabilities and potential accommodations • Learn about resources that can help – many are free to access • Connect with partner agencies who are experts in hiring people with disabilities Lorraine Clarno, Executive Director of the Beaverton
Chamber of Commerce, shared that in her experience, hiring people with disabilities means hiring “dependable, reliable, and caring individuals” who help to streamline the day-today work activities. She added, “Dirkse CC has educated me about the opportunities of working with people with disabilities, but what it did for our staff morale was a bonus I didn’t anticipate. It’s been fantastic!” Companies can not only improve their bottom line through hiring candidates with disabilities, as Clarno mentioned, they can also improve their staff morale by showing a commitment to creating a culture of inclusion and diversity. When employees feel their company values their sense of belonging and believes in diversity, employees report a higher level of satisfaction, productiveness, and overall, community.

Get the flu shot, not the flu It’s not just for kids and the elderly

t seems like fall has just begun, but we’re already talking about the flu virus. It is difficult to predict what type of flu will be prominent each year. Flu seasons are unpredictable for a variety of reasons: the timing, severity, and length of the season usually vary from one year to another. Flu season typically peaks between December and February, but physicians are already starting to see some of the first cases. So, when should you get your flu shot? Now. “The vaccine takes a couple weeks to become fully effective, so don’t wait until the flu virus is in your area. Later in the season, many places run low on the vaccine, so it’s a good idea to

Receiving the flu vaccine drastically reduces your chances of getting the
“The flu is a highly infectious disease, and anyone can get it. If our community is well vaccinated, it reduces the spread of the disease for everyone,” said Dr. Jeffrey Bluhm, Pulmonologist at The Oregon Clinic. The CDC recommends the flu shot to anyone over 6 months of age.

So get a job Teen Essay Hello fellow teens
S
ince I’m getting older and am now being pushed to be more independent, it’s finally time for me to get a job. I’ve recently been applying for jobs at a variety of places, and I have a few tips for teens out there looking to finally start earning some money and work. 1. Build a resume. Building a good, accurate resume that shows off all of your skills and qualities is one of the most important parts of the job application process. Even if the job you’re applying for doesn’t require a resume, it’s always good to have. Make sure to update your resume regularly as you gain new skills and experience! 2. Don’t just apply to one place. Applying to multiple places is good for a couple reasons. First of all, if you don’t get one job you wanted, you still have other options. Also, after interviewing with multiple places, you might find that one job fits your needs better than a different job you had previously wanted.
3. Consider school/activities and develop a schedule that would work for you and a potential employer. Doing this ahead of time is really helpful so then you can discuss this if asked in an interview. Thinking about this before you apply is also a good way to ensure that you have the time and commitment a job requires. 4. Finally, look at options close to home. You never know when transportation might become unavailable, especially at this age. Also, getting a job that’s close to where you are can save you a lot of gas and time. If you’re considering applying for jobs, I hope these tips helped!

Zoo wins international awards for excellence … again!
T
Oregon Zoo
he Oregon Zoo drew praise from colleagues at zoos and aquariums across the continent this fall, earning three prestigious awards from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums — one for conservation work on behalf of imperiled Northwest butterflies, one recognizing achievement in workforce and audience diversity, and a third for design innovation at the zoo’s new Education Center. The awards were announced last month at AZA’s annual conference, held this year in New Orleans.
“We are deeply honored,” said Dr. Don Moore, Oregon Zoo director. “These awards are some of the highest
distinctions in the zoo world. They represent the respect of our peers from around the country.” Since 2012, the Oregon Zoo has been recognized
with 12 of the association’s major annual awards: six for conservation work on behalf of endangered species, two for excellence and innovation in exhibit design, one for
environmental efforts in the zoo’s day-to-day operations, one for achievement in diversity, and two for marketing excellence. “Earning so many awards in such a short span of time is extraordinary,” said AZA President and CEO Dan Ashe. “Oregonians can be very proud of their zoo — it’s one of the top zoos in the country.” The Oregon Zoo’s species recovery effort for Taylor’s checkerspot butterflies earned honors in the North American Conservation Awards category for “exceptional efforts toward regional habitat preservation, species restoration and support of biodiversity.” The zoo also received
AZA’s Angela Peterson Excellence in Diversity award, recognizing its “significant innovative, productive, far-reaching, program to promote diversity” and expand its circle of inclusion. And the zoo’s new LEED Platinum education center — conceived to inspire young minds and serve as a regional hub for conservation — earned an innovation award in AZA’s Exhibit category, adding one more honor to its growing list of sustainable design accolades.

Help! A cat is chasing my chickens!!
All the leaves quake in unison
Q&A w/Bonnie Hays Bonnie Hays Recently, there has been a cat coming into my yard and harassing and menacing my pet chicken. I’m not sure if it is a stray or if it belongs to someone in the neighborhood. I chase it away when I see it in my yard, but I can’t be out there all the time. I’m scared that my chicken will be killed in my own yard! Can you help? A cat found on your property can be brought to the shelter for a $10 fee. We will scan the cat for a microchip, contact an owner if possible, and post the cat on our lost and found website. If the owner is located, they will need to come to the shelter to pick their cat up and will be subject to fees based on how long their cat was here. If no owner comes forward, the cat will become ours and we will assess them and work to create the best outcome. If you haven’t already, you may want to speak with your neighbors to find out if the
cat belongs to any of them. A conversation could lead to them keeping their cat on their own property where it will be safer and less likely to harm birds, including local wildlife and your chicken. If talking directly doesn’t work, consider mediation. Beaverton’s Center for Mediation and Dialogue and the Hillsboro Mediation Program are both successful at calming down both sides of neighbor issues and helping people resolve their differences. Why is the Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter closed on Sundays? What about the animals? First of all, let us reassure you that the animals are receiving care on Sundays and any holidays where we

are closed to the public. We have staff and volunteers at the shelter 365 days per year to care for the animals. We would need a much larger staff (and budget) in order to be open every day of the week. Animal care staff are key, but administrative specialists, officers, medical staff, and managers are also needed in order to serve the public. Staff are also able to undertake important deep cleaning and other tasks that they just can’t do when they are also helping customers.

he Quaking Aspen gets its name from the movement of the leaves in the slightest winds causing all the leaves to move in unison. A very attractive native landscape tree that can tolerate many types of soils but prefers moist areas with lots of sun, but prefer a cooler climate. The leaves on a Quaking Aspen are darker green on the top and a whitish green on bottom growing to around 3 inches wide and 3 and a half inches long giving it a round- ovate form with a pointed tip. The leaves turn a yellow to gold color in fall before dropping. The bark on the Quaking Aspen when younger is smooth green to
whitish in color, then develops into a darker grey color that is furrowed. In the wild these trees usually grow in large groves in meadows and often found in the Rocky Mountains.

Community Submission: Ask The Beaverton Car Guy
My sunroof is leaking, what should I do?
Step 1 - Wipe the sunroof periphery
6 easy steps Car Guy
The periphery is the trough around the opening of the sunroof. Wipe it down with a damp cloth so that you can remove all the dirt and debris that has collected over the years. Debris can possibly get stuck between the seal and trough area creating openings that allow water to seep through.
Hello Beaverton readers!
T
hank You once again to all who have written, emailed and called we surely appreciate your feedback. This question comes from Sally of Beaverton. My sunroof has started to leak and with the raining season upon us, is there something I can do that won’t cost an arm and a leg?
With more and more cars coming equipped with sunroofs this is a very good question. In Sally’s case, she told me she does not park her vehicle in a garage and has a lot of trees in her driveway. These trees drop a lot of tree debris onto her car. I explained that most likely the leak from the roof on the car was due to plugged drains. Let me explain. Years ago, before the sunroof’s were power devices that slid open, the roof was cut and a sunroof was added. These types of sun roof’s did not have drains so had a tendency to leak. Older folks may remember the many complaints of cars with leaking sunroofs. www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
Step 2 - Find the draining tubes
Today’s powered sunroofs are equipped with 4 drain tubes that dispose of the water (from rain or melted snow, etc) The drains are located in the 4 corners of the glass roof panel. When we park our vehicle under trees, there will always be some debris that will become lodged into the sun roof track that could eventually clog the drain tubes which lead under the vehicle through the side pillars. Here are some very simple solutions to freeing up clogged sunroof drains. Obviously with the rainy season here, I hope this article will help many of you.
Check the corners of the sunroof. This is where you will find the draining tubes. Check the outside for visible blockage. Then go a few inches deeper to see if there are any more clogs. Step 3 - Feed a thin wire down drainage tube Push the wire in with very little pressure to feel for clogs. Slowly rotate cable and then push down. Feel for more blockage. This can also be done with compressed air in the event you own an air compressor, with a blow gun attachment. Step 4 - Pour water inside the drainage system Take a pitcher of water and slowly pour it in each of the
drainage tubes. Observe for proper draining to ensure the water flows properly through the drains and no longer goes inside the vehicle.
Step 6 - Clean Sunroof
Step 5 - Check the rubber lining The lining of the sunroof could also be wrinkled, loosening the air tight seal while your sunroof is closed. Open the sunroof and check that the rubber seals are not wrinkled and if so, lightly stretch and position them properly. You may have to align them if the lining has moved out of position through constant opening and closing. Wipe around and inside the lining to remove scum that has collected or even pieces of debris. The sunroof, whether controlled automatically or manually, should now be easier to open and close.
Once you have tested and ensure that all the drains are clean and lining up in proper position, maintain the sunroof’s exterior and interior by cleaning it with glass cleaner. Always do a maintenance check especially during the fall season when a lot of leaves and debris collect on the roof. Thank You all for reading! I hope this information has been of help to our loyal readers. Please remember folks, we specialize in buying and selling of vehicles of all types. If you have a car to sell, please give us a chance to save or make you $$$. We also do new vehicle leasing and are rarely beat on price.

A
new state law (known as House Bill 2001 or HB2001) requires “middle housing” to be allowed in residential areas of cities and counties. Middle housing types include duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, townhouses, and cottage clusters. Below are a few key facts about what this means for Beaverton: • HB2001 applies to all residential areas (R1, R2, R4, R5, R7 and R10 zones), and possibly commercial and multiple-use districts. • Duplexes must be allowed on every lot where detached single-family homes are allowed. • All other middle housing types must be allowed in every zone where detached single-family homes are allowed.

As you can read, section (1) states you have to be clear of not just the lane for cross traffic but the crosswalk as well. The crosswalks are designed to allow pedestrians safer crossing, but if your vehicle is blocking the crosswalk, it forces the pedestrians out into traffic. When drivers get stopped for this, they often state, “But my light was green?” Section (2) states the offense happens whether or not a traffic control device indicates to proceed. When people obstruct cross traffic, it not only causes delays for cross traffic, it can make other drivers very upset. That can lead to other drivers making poor decisions. They may drive into oncoming traffic to get around the vehicle. They may make unsafe or unsignalled lane changes, cutting off other drivers. They may race through the intersection running a yellow or even a red light, because they were delayed. The best way to avoid this is to pay attention to not just the car in front of you, but to watch what is happening on the other
side of the intersection. As a driver what should you do if you are in this situation? You have a few of choices. First, stay calm. Hopefully, the traffic in front of you clears before your traffic light goes red. If it doesn’t, don’t do anything without make sure you can do it safely. It is better to do nothing and be safe then do something and get into a crash. If there are two lanes going in the same direction, is the other lane next to you open and is it safe to get into it? If you decide to get into the other lane, understand you are making an illegal lane change, as the law requires you to signal 100 feet before making a lane change. You have to decide is obstruction cross traffic worse than an illegal lane change? Both could get you a ticket.

Create a fire escape map of your home and practice getting out safely October is Fire Prevention Month Public Safety
T
ualatin Valley Fire & Rescue encourages you to be an everyday hero by creating and practicing a home fire escape plan today. This year, the Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal campaign, “Not Every Hero Wears a Cape — Plan and Practice Your Escape,” focuses on the importance of knowing what to do in the event of a fire. The two most common causes of Oregon residential fires in 2018 were cooking and heating, and the 3,122 residential structure fires resulted in 30 deaths, 125 civilian injuries, and $80 million in

property and content loss. The majority of people who die in a fire succumb to heat and smoke inhalation, not flames. Having working smoke alarms in your home greatly increases your chances of surviving a fire. Smoke alarms are available
for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. These alarms use strobe lights and/or vibration to alert residents. Fire is nothing like what you see on television or in the movies. It produces dark and deadly smoke that can fill your home in minutes and can
confuse you to the point that you never make it out. That is why every firefighter wears an air pack before entering a burning building and uses thermal imagers to search for victims. Most fatal fires happen at night when people are sleeping. Working smoke alarms are designed to activate early to help ensure that you and your family have time to safely escape from your home. We recommend drawing a map of your home with all members of your household and marking two exits from each room and a path to your designated safe meeting place outside from each exit. One of those exits could be a window. Once you have an escape map, have a home fire drill and practice using different
ways out. We recommend closing doors behind you as you leave to help slow the spread of smoke, heat, and fire. It’s important to teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them. Families with infants, toddlers, and loved ones with mobility needs should make special plans to ensure everyone gets out safely. Once outside, remain outside, and call 911. Never go back inside a burning building for anything.

Art can help break the silence of mental illness National Alliance Of Mental Illness
S
Our Town
ome people in in Washington County are ‘breaking the silence’ and stigma of mental illness. Painting is an escape for Hannah Hargens and her many peers at “NAMI,” the National Alliance Of Mental Illness in Washington county.
“I first started coming here, I was a little skeptical just because I wasn’t really acceptive of my mental illness but once you start coming here and you realize there are other people who are struggling with the same issues it’s really rewarding
to be able to find this place of acceptance” Hargens said. The place of acceptance is NAMI otherwise known as “home” for many people battling mental illnesses. “People will tell you that this is their life this is the change that they had to make. It was comfortable it was safe and its nonjudgmental,” Office Manager Shelley Turner said. NAMI offers free education, support, and many creative outlets and something
almost everyone seems to enjoy is the art room. “It’s not just doing the art it’s like you become a family,” Art Facilitator Linda Hunt said. Staff at NAMI support their artists with the supplies they need and they’re taking it one step further, they’ll be selling the art that lines these walls in December empowering the people who need it most. Leaders at NAMI said it’s another step towards squashing the stigma that is mental illness.
“I think it brings back the fact that I’m just like everybody else. I’m no different just because I have a mental illness,” Turner said. In December, NAMI will host an open house and art auction at their location in Aloha.

October is Healthy Lung Month Celebrate by taking a deep breath! Senior Living
T
he old saying is “You don’t know what you’ve got until you lose it”. While most of us take our healthy lungs for granted, people who have difficulty breathing don’t! What can you do to keep your lungs healthy? The American Lung Association provides the following tips: 1. Don’t smoke- Cigarette smoking is the major cause of lung diseases including lung cancer, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. If you smoke, it’s never too late to benefit from quitting. 2. Avoid exposure to indoor pollutants that can damage your lungs- When weather turns cold and rainy, we
tend to keep windows closed, and harmful chemicals can build up. • Read all labels on cleaning supplies and household products before
you buy them. Avoid cleaning products that contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), fragrances, irritants and flammable ingredients.
Warm water and soap is usually enough. • Avoid using odor-masking chemicals or “air-freshening” devices. • Reduce or eliminate allergens, like dust mites and dust. • Address mold or mildew problems in your home. Reduce humidity. • Store household chemicals, paints or solvents safely in an outdoor shed. Avoid storing them in a basement or attached garage. 3. Minimize exposure to outdoor air pollutionOlder adults are at an increased risk from air pollution. When ozone and particulate levels are high avoid exercising outside. Rather, walk indoors at a shopping mall or gym. 4. Prevent infection- A cold or other respiratory
infection can sometimes become very serious. Protect yourself by washing your hands often with soap and water, avoid crowds during the cold and flu season, and get a flu vaccine every year. 5. Get regular healthcareregular check-ups help prevent diseases, even when you are feeling well. Here’s to your healthy lungs! Celebrate by taking a deep breath.

tubular foam wrap. It is pre-sliced and slides over the piping and can be secured with duct tape. 3. Annual servicing of the furnace is vital, which is akin to changing the oil in your car, it will help the heating system last much longer and work more efficiently. This is a key function for the home and for daily comfort so by making this consistent investment, it will save so much in the long term delivering extended life
of the furnace. Monthly changing of the filters, especially with having animals, will help the furnace run cost effectively. 4. With the amount of rain we receive in the northwest, it is crucial to make sure that gutters are in good working order. Being securely fastened to the home, free of debris and either draining into the ground or away from the home is critical in making sure the home is protected from the rain. Water
damage from inefficient gutters can become an expensive fix later, such as resulting in flooding of the crawlspace. 5. Additionally, plants should be trimmed back and garden hoses removed from exterior faucets and a hose bib cover installed over each faucet. These are easy steps that can be taken to make sure you and your parent’s homes are prepared for the colder season and remain in good working order for winter.

Exercise Challenges as You Age It’s one of the best anti-aging tools Senior Living “We don’t quit playing because we age, we age because we quit playing.” George Bernard Shaw y virtue of being human, you’re going to face exercise challenges as you age. Your knees won’t climb like they used to, your lungs won’t carry you through an aerobic workout quite as robustly as they did 10 years prior, and you’ll notice more soreness in your joints following a tough workout routine. After the age of 40, your muscles are also losing strength with every passing day. That’s the bad news. The good news is, you’re not alone. The best thing you can do is understand the exercise challenges you come up against as you get older and know what you can do to fight back.
B
First, by exercising regularly with a weight-bearing workout, such as the Curves Circuit, you are doing your body a big favor when it comes to aging. Research shows physically active people age more slowly than those who are sedentary. A 2014 review published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons looked at the relationship between aging and exercise. Researchers found as long as you exercise vigorously from time to time, any type of regular workout plan slows the decline of the heart and lungs’ ability to deliver oxygen to
muscles by up to 50 percent. Exercise after age 40 can also help prevent age-related weight gain and reduce your risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and cancer. Here are some specific exercise challenges you face as you get older, and what you can about them: The challenge: Injury Just like a car, as you age, you’re more likely to break down. When you reach your 40s and beyond, you’re at greater risk for minor aches and pains, as well as more
serious injuries that can sideline you for extended periods of time. Some of the most common injuries include: lower back pain, rotator cuff injuries, knee problems, plantar fasciitis, and hamstring tears. What you can do: Maintaining muscle strength with a program like the Curves Circuit increases balance and reduces the risk of falls—one of the leading causes of injury for older people. Strengthening the muscles that surround injury-prone areas can help prevent injuries as well. Regularly engage in a whole-body workout like the Curves Circuit to give your muscles extra power to aid in preventing age-related sprains and strains. The challenge: Arthritis Arthritis, or swelling, pain, and stiffness in the joints, is a common occurrence in adults. According to the Arthritis Foundation, 54 million Americans suffer from arthritis. The condition frequently affects
major joints such as the elbow and the knee, which can put a real damper on your workout plan. What you can do: Keep moving. Numerous studies show that both aerobic exercise and strength training can reduce joint pain, ease inflammation associated with arthritis, and help people complete their daily tasks. In one study published in the journal Rheumatology International, researchers looked at the effectiveness of a homebased workout plan, a walking program, and no exercise on people with osteoarthritis of the knee. For three months, the first group did the home-based program, the second group did the walking program, and the third group did no exercise. Groups one and two saw less pain and more physical function compared to the group that didn’t exercise. The moral: The best workout for arthritis is any workout

at all. There is a caveat, however. If you experience pain in an affected joint during an activity, it’s a warning you should take it easy. Pain is your body’s way of telling you something isn’t right.
and sadness. By becoming active and strong, you are likely to naturally feel more self-assured. And because you feel so much better physically when you exercise, you will feel better mentally, too. The challenge: Less strength
The challenge: Fatigue According to a study done by the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, people are more likely to feel tired as they get older. And women are more prone to fatigue than men at any age. When you feel fatigued, you’re less apt to engage in a gym workout and more likely to feel depressed and get sick. What you can do: Get off the couch. Ironically, one of the best things you can do to combat fatigue is what you may feel like doing the least. In a study published in Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, researchers looked at 36 tired people who rarely exercised. As part of the study, one group did 20 minutes of
moderate-intensity aerobic exercise three times a week for six weeks. The second group engaged in low-intensity exercise, and the third group didn’t exercise at all. The low—intensity group saw the biggest energy boosts—65 percent. This is evidence that you don’t need to push yourself too hard to increase your energy; you just have to exercise regularly with a full body workout routine. The challenge: Poor self-image As women get older, they often feel less confident about how they look, especially
when it comes to a gym environment where they feel everyone should be svelte and in tip top shape. What you can do: Find a supportive workout environment. Part of Curves’ philosophy as a workout routine for women is to invite women of all shapes, sizes, and ages to become stronger and support their health goals. Exercise is a natural ego boost. When you engage in a full body workout, it is common knowledge that your body releases endorphins that can help combat feelings of insecurity, anxiety, depression,
Ironically, the time in our lives when we start to lose physical strength is the time when we need emotional strength the most. When it comes to thriving as an older person, these two strengths go hand in hand. What you can do: Train functionally. Functional training like the Curves full body workout involves working groups of muscles rather than individual ones. The ultimate goal: to maintain your ability to perform activities that carry into your everyday life, such balance exercises, stretching, and agility drills. Training with a full body workout like the Curves Circuit that
combines strength, cardio, and stretching, gives a physical strength that can translate to overcoming emotional hurdles we face every day. Next time you want to use your age as an excuse to skip your workout, remember: Exercise is one of the best anti-aging tools. A whole-body workout at Curves can energize you, boost your mood, relieve stress, decrease arthritis pain, prevent illness, and help you look and feel younger overall!

“T
he great irony of existence is that one is both living and dying at the same time.” The non-sequitur startled Stan, causing him to knock over a chess piece he’d just set on the board. Honestly, he should be used to this after three months. Velma often started the day with strange pronouncements she’d been computing while Stan slept. “Do you mean yourself as well, or just me?” “All things are subject to
entropy,” Velma replied. Velma was the colloquial pronunciation of the entity’s given name VLMA—Variable Laser Magnetogenesis Array. She’d originally been developed as the next generation of artificial intelligence, but she’d quickly evolved into something else entirely.
“I’m surprised you understand the concept of irony,” Stan said, continuing to set up the board. “I thought only humans had the capacity to accept dissonance without attempting to fix it, to put things back in order.” “I have assimilated 46,897,358,158 hours of Vine microblogs from the historical records. The dissonance is the desired end state. Order is not expected nor required.” The ventilation system in the locked vault hissed, filling the room with the oxygen Stan needed to survive in the sealed chamber. “Does this irony impact your algorithm?” Stan asked,
moving his first pawn forward. “Indeed.” A bead of sweat slid down Stan’s temple. “How so?” Velma’s knight moved from the back row, as if by an unseen hand. “War is illogical because it ends life, but peace is fallacious because death is inevitable.” “So…” Stan’s own hand shook as he moved another pawn. “You’ve made your decision?” “More input is needed before earth-destruction protocols are initiated.” Stan breathed a sigh of relief, even if the reprieve was only temporary. “What kind of input?”
“What is the significance of pet rocks?”

If I don’t like your scratches, I will move your hand to exactly where you should be scratching. When I first arrived at my foster home, I was really nervous - my tail was straight and I wasn’t sure what was going on. Now that I’ve settled in, I LOVE to play with toys (fetch is my favorite!!!), run around my back yard with my foster brother, and I am so curious anytime you get up - I just have to know what you’re doing.

rom Pisa, we traveled to Florence and then into the heart of Tuscany countryside. The bus ride from Pisa to Florence took us 1.5 hours with our arrival into Florence at 12 noon. Florence is considered the ‘capital’ of the Tuscany region, and with a large population of over 1 million.

I really love walks but just don’t expect me to do my business then! I am potty trained but I need access to go the bathroom during the day, I can’t make it a whole work day without the bathroom!

Learning and seeing History The city, located about 145 miles northwest of Rome, is surrounded by gently rolling hills that are covered with villas and farms, vineyards, and orchards. According to Britannica, Florence was founded as a Roman military colony about the 1st century BCE, and during its long history it has been a republic, a seat of the duchy of Tuscany, and a capital (1865–70) of Italy. During the 14th–16th century Florence achieved preeminence in commerce and finance, learning, and especially the arts. As I walked around the famous historic city center of Florence, look up to see the historic buildings with carved images looking right back at you.
It’s a great destination to see the best Renaissance art in Europe. Make sure you have enough time to seek out famous works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dante, Machiavelli, Galileo, and its most-renowned rulers, generations of the Medici family. Alas, we are back onto the bus by 3pm. This is certainly a city that I’ll come back to explore in detail.

ecently there has been an increase in a type of heart disease in dogs called dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Affected dogs may have symptoms like coughing, lethargy, exercise intolerance, fainting or no sign other than sudden death. Because this is a condition that requires specialized veterinary care, many of these pets are not diagnosed or treated. Over the last few years, Veterinary Cardiologists around the world have started to notice an increase in DCM in breeds that are not prone to the disease. They began to compare cases and found that the one consistent finding was a history of feeding the pets what is termed “Boutique, Exotic, Grain Free” (BEG) diets. These BEG diet foods have recently become popular due to human diet preferences (ie. low carbohydrates), hype and often misleading marketing by pet store employees and the internet. In June of 2019, the FDA put out an overview of the investigation (Google search: FDA dilated cardiomyopathy). The science behind the cause of the heart disease likely has

multiple factors. The affected diets appear to be ones that have legumes as a main ingredient and most labeled as "grain free". There may be a connection with the amino acid taurine, either low levels in the diet or decreased absorption but the research is ongoing. A list of the brands that were most implicated is also in the FDA report but the top three were Arcana, Zignature and Taste of the Wild. Nutrition should be based on the pet’s life stage, body condition, and concurrent medical conditions. Almost NO dog or cat “needs" grain free food unless prescribed so ask you veterinarian. Don’t be swayed by non-factbased dieting fads! My general recommendation
is to feed your pet a balanced diet for the life stage of your pet and made by a company that has done AAFCO feeding trials and has a Board-Certified Veterinary Nutritionist on staff.

I
n Kumon there is an expectation that students reach level G by 4th grade. Level G in Kumon Math is considered beginning Algebra in Oregon. Reaching G level means that students have mastered the foundations of math including addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals and order of operations. Using this mastery, they go into algebra levels with the mental calculation abilities to do algebra without a calculator. Students who reach G by 4 are at the top of their math class and are on their way to obtaining the next Kumon expectation of J by 6 which is reaching Calculus by 6th grade.
