To me, this means connecting people who live, work or shop in and around Beaverton with the abundant local resources available here. So, whether you’re a shop or a shopper, we’ll do our best to introduce you to each other. Are you looking for something to do out of the house? We’ve got you covered there too with a variety of options in our Out & About section.

RAISE-UP downtown Beaverton Promoting art, events, design and innovation DOWNTOWN

he Beaverton Downtown Association (BDA) is announcing the launch of RAISE UP Downtown Beaverton, a program with the purpose of bringing more public art, events, design improvements, and innovation opportunities for small businesses through monthly community donations. Community members can now affect how downtown FRQWLQXHV WR UHFHLYH EHQH¿WV of public-facing programs like Wine Walks, murals, landscaping enhancements, and creative and sustainable business improvements. The RAISE UP Downtown Beaverton program

provides the opportunity for anyone to help sustain the creation and implementation of annual events and programs that support the district’s economic and social health. The new program encourages donors to give a monthly gift of $10, $15 or $25.

The BDA has leveraged grants and event income to keep our community moving forward. Between 2018 and 2021 alone, the BDA has raised approximately $400,000 that it has funneled into historic preservation projects (like the Nak Won building renovation) and economic development

initiatives (like the creative blade signs around downtown). The BDA has also been able to work directly with businesses to help them apply for grants, resulting in tens of thousands of more dollars going directly into the accounts of businesses during the pandemic. In recognition for its work, the BDA has received multiple statewide awards over the past few years including Best Retail Program (2019), Volunteer of the Year (2019 and 2020), Best Placemaking Project (2020), Main Street Manager of the Year (2020). “The BDA and Beaverton are exploding on so many good fronts,” the coordinator of Oregon Main Street, Sheri Stuart, stated proudly. “The BDA is a critical part of moving the city

forward. The level and quality that is coming out of the BDA is really incredible to see.” Want to get help RAISE UP Downtown Beaverton? Visit our website: www.downtownbeaverton.org/ raise-up or text GIVE to (503) 486-3443 to get started today.

ConnectingCommunity #BEAVERTONBUSINESS

Simple things you can do to grow your business business where it’s helping their community and where brand values align with theirs.

Happy small business marketing LOCAL BUSINESS

Be A Great Member of Your Business Community-

Analyze Your Competition-

Can you share resources? Perhaps you can share other business’ cards on your counter or in your space and they can do the same for you. Become a referral source for each other because the best marketing is word of mouth. Can you organize community events that showcase many businesses at one time? That’s a great way to bring a lot of people to your area at one time.

hat are the Big Box stores doing? They spend tons of money on research. The data they come up with has to do with overall market trends, the area you are doing business in, and the consumer your area targets. What does their advertising and messaging look and sound like? Are there points you can take and integrate into your own messaging? For instance, if the season is Back To School, can you target that consumer with the service or product you offer? Create a special around the season, add the messaging to your social media, or paint it on your windows! Targeting Young CustomersDo you want younger customers? Their views, wants, and needs may be different from yours. Be willing to step outside of your box to gain that new customer. They like experiences so what can you change about your service or your product (perhaps in the

packaging or delivery) that creates something different for the young customers. They also like a sense of belonging which means creating a space that is inviting and/or they can spend time in and feel right at home. Social Justice MattersIssues like recycling and eco-awareness affect everyone

and can be the difference when someone chooses where to do business. If social issues are a part of your business include that in your messaging. If you recycle, make sure that’s known to the consumer. If your business is energy-saving or you give part of your proceeds to charity don’t be afraid to share that. People want to do

If your brand is product or entertainment driven-Instagram is for you. It’s all about visuals and pictures telling a story. LinkedIn is great for reaching other businesses and sharing information- but don’t forget to include a picture as WKDW KLWV WKH UHDGHU¶V H\H ¿UVW Facebook should have pictures as well but a great way to share events, updates, employee and business news, and keep the consumer informed. Twitter is all about the short messaging and information- great for media-related businesses and quick updates. TikTok is for the

creative business owner that can tell their story to the beat of a song- if that’s you start creating as it’s a great way to grab that younger consumer. Create A Photo OpIs there a space at your business that makes a great photo op? Can you paint a mural on your wall outside with a bench in front of it (and your business name somewhere)? Drawing people to you and getting them to take a picture and share it with the world is, guess what, free advertising!

Happy Small Business Marketing! As always, you can email joanne@ winehausco.com to ask your small business marketing questions.

Summer Work Experience Program In partnership with Oregon Commission for the Blind EMPLOYMENT

irkse Counseling & Consulting and Oregon Commission for the Blind (OCB) have partnered for over 20 years to help Oregonians with vision impairments explore and access opportunities for employment. Every summer, 16 to 20-year-old Oregonians who experience blindness come together in Portland, Salem, or in their local communities

Helping Oregonians with vision impairments explore and access employment opportunities and participate in the Summer Work Experience Program, or SWEP. Participants practice independent living

skills by staying in a dorm and engage in paid work experiences with real employers. OCB support provides

these students with valuable life skills such as mobility and orientation in a new environment, cooking, and cleaning, and work readiness skills such as career exploration and interviewing. SWEP relies on partnerships with local employers to support these students each summer. While Covid has limited the independent living portion of the program, the employment option continues this summer with several local employers including New Seasons Market, MOD Pizza, the YMCA of Columbia-Willamette, and OMSI among others. Jennifer Powers, a Science Educator at OMSI states

“Hosting a SWEP student is such a wonderful experience. As an institution, we learn and evolve because of these students. And watching each student grow in ways they never imagined is the best gift of all!” If your business would like to participate in next summer’s SWEP program, or learn more about general employment opportunities, please contact Morgan Rincon at Oregon Commissions for the Blind, at morgan.rincon@ocb.oregon.gov.

For more information about Dirkse’s mission and programs, please call (503)-265-9256.

However, that friend was not capable of caring for Magzie as the rescue received her with all her nails grown into her pads, urinating blood, and a large tumor on her face. 8-year-old Pippy came to us when her human went into a care center. She will need lots of vetting as she has not been spayed and has some pretty rotten teeth, along with a few other ailments, but we should be able to have her feeling better soon. Once Magzi and Pippy have been fully vetted, they will be posted on the Rescue’s Facebook page when they are ready for adoption.

They have become American buzzwords as a new focus on mental health emerges, and we begin to realize that these have become normal conditions that most of us are facing on a regular basis. No matter where you sit on the socio-economic ladder, they are symptoms that most of us have to struggle with, and feel like we have to struggle through, at some point. We decided to reach out to a local mental health therapist, and ask if there were any new approaches or methods that

were proven effective. They had to be something anyone could do in a short time on their own. We spoke with David Hayden| MA, LPC, EMDR, owner of Natural Mind Counseling, and asked if there was anything he could offer. David stated that there was a relatively new realm of study

Time to get ready for Back-to-School

Scoliosis & chiropractic care

The importance of posture

Restore a more normal posture

Kids can get back pain too

HEALTH

What we know

t’s August, so the end of summer is near. The time that most children dread and most parents wait for, because the beginning of school is just around the corner. This school year, like last year, begins with uncertainty. Masks or no masks? In-person or online? Hybrid or full day? The list goes on and on and on. Plus, it seems as if the rules and information change all the time. What we do know is that once September rolls around, children will be back in school. And with that there will be backpacks and sitting at desks – or Chromebooks and kitchen tables. Each scenario brings postural stress and strain to the body of the child. And with the stress comes an increase in sickness and/or future health consequences. For many, it is assumed that a child’s body is more adaptive to physical stresses because they are younger and still growing. Unfortunately, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Abnormal posture can set

HEALTH

a child up for lifetime of back pain, neck pain, headaches and more. So, what should be done? For those going back to the classroom, be sure the child is careful as to how many books get placed in their backpack. Ideally the total weight of the pack should be no more that 15% of the child’s total body weight. If online schooling is the option of choice, assess the positioning of the computer or Chromebook. Sitting on a bed, or hunched over a coffee table is very hard on the spine of a child. A suggestion for homeschoolers would be to have them stand up, wiggle around, and stretch every 30 minutes or so, then back to work.

Regardless of which schooling option a child takes, making sure that their spine is functioning at it’s best is critical for short term and longterm health.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient Make sure you get enough HEALTH

Vitamin C Are you eating enough?

“Optimum nutrition is the medicine of tomorrow” - Linus Pauling

itamin C has gotten a fair amount of press over the years. In 1970, Portland’s own Nobel Prize winning chemist, Linus Pauling, advocated using 1 gram of vitamin C per day to prevent the common cold. Vitamin C is also important in many body systems. In fact, people who take high amounts of vitamin C have lower risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and other diseases. Vitamin C is so much more than an immune booster. It is important in many biochemical processes in the body. It helps maintain connective tissue

integrity. It activates enzyme processes that burn fat to make energy. It works in our adrenal glands to make norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that helps us cope with stress. And it acts as a free radical scavenger.

Because it is a critical anti-oxidant, higher concentrations of vitamin C are likely to reduce the risk and severity of diseases associated with free radical damage to tissues such as cataracts, atherosclerosis

#FOX12OREGON

and stroke. It has also been shown to reduce risk of cardiac complications following surgery. Vitamin C is the most abundant water-soluble vitamin in the body. But, unlike many other animals, humans can’t synthesize vitamin C. It must be derived from our diets. Many fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C. But cooking, canning and processing can destroy vitamin C. Eating fresh raw or frozen fruits and vegetables or drinking juices yield optimal amounts. Our bodies can only store about a month’s supply of vitamin C. In the absence of fresh fruit and vegetables, people develop scurvy in about 3 months. Its symptoms include anemia, loose teeth, muscle and bone pain, bruising, bleeding gums and gingivitis and exhaustion. The term

“Limey” comes from sailors bringing limes on ships to prevent scurvy. Smoking, stress, alcohol consumption and disease all increase your need for vitamin C. Vitamin C supplementation is generally very safe even for young children. Doses of 2-3 grams (2000-3000 mg) is typically safe for an adult. Higher doses can cause diarrhea or stomach upset. Some people may get canker sores from high doses of certain forms of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient. Make sure you get enough.

Become a school bus driver for the Beaverton School District OUR TOWN

ooking ahead to the 202122 school year, some districts say they are dealing with a shortage of school bus drivers. The Beaverton School District is one of the districts hiring. The district needs to hire 30 to 40 drivers and says with training, almost anyone can learn to drive a school bus. “Myself, I came in with zero experience,” said J.D. Russell, who switched careers about 10 years ago. The district is holding three Bus Driving Hiring Events to give job applicants a chance to test drive their buses. This hands-on experience, however, does not include a packed bus of boisterous kids. “Driving with students onboard does take training and skill,” Russell said. The district does offer that training. Russell has advice for new bus drivers. “[The bus] is essentially an

do not sell in such fashion are left to wonder what is wrong with their home. I would say the question shouldn’t be “what is wrong with the home” but “what is the price the home is selling for given its condition location and the market?” When there is such a vast difference between the selling price and sold price, it skews data and confuses sellers. They believe they should list their home for what the nearby home sold for. That is however not the recommended step. The $100,000 difference between the list and sold price is a very large leap and savvy buyers will realize that if the next home starts their price with the $100k included, then the home is overpriced. A seller may say, “I will wait for the person who realizes my home is worth X”. Although leaving a home on

And if you’re married but don’t have children, you’d still want to provide support for your spouse, particularly if student loans or a mortgage is involved. “Life insurance is too expensive.” Different types of

First, it may be for a minimal amount and not enough for your needs, especially if you have several dependents. And second, an employer’s life insurance policy is not necessarily portable – if you leave your job, you might lose your coverage. “I have a pre-existing

condition, so I’m sure I couldn’t get life insurance.” Some pre-existing conditions don’t automatically disqualify you from getting life insurance, although you might end up paying higher premiums than someone without any health issues. In any case, it’s a good idea to look at what various companies might offer, as insurers use somewhat different underwriting processes and may view pre-existing conditions differently. “Insurers don’t want to pay out the proceeds.” Actually, there’s a fairly straightforward process for paying out death EHQH¿WV <RXU EHQH¿FLDULHV PXVW ¿OH D FODLP DQG VXEPLW WKH GHDWK FHUWL¿FDWH ± DQG WKDW¶V about it.

With gas prices going up, does it matter if I buy cheaper gas? I recommend using only TOP TIER™ gasoline AUTOMOTIVE Q&A

Look for this sticker before you pump

ver the last couple of months, we have had readers ask about where to purchase fuel? The reason is some of our Beaverton neighbors have had some unusual and costly repairs, which their repair facility has mentioned were a direct result of poor fuel quality. So, I did some investigation in order better inform myself as well as others. New tests from AAA have resulted in huge differences in the quality of gasoline from state to state. There are two states that do not regulate their fuel quality and both states do not allow people to pump their own fuel (big surprise). So, as independent tests have revealed, all fuel brands are not the same. In fact, several do not meet with automaker-backed programs.

7KH UHVHDUFK ¿QGV WKDW consumers can clog not only their fuel injectors, but can also cause oxygen sensors and catalytic converters to clog as well. This can cause major damage. For example, the damage that can occur from a clogged catalytic converter is straight forward. If the exhaust is plugged or clogged, the cylinder head gaskets can “blow” since the exhaust gasses have to go somewhere. This type of major repair is all from consumers who are trying to

save a buck by buying cheap, poor-quality fuel. Clearly, this causes more damage and is more costly in the long run. In our example, a catalytic converter can cost well over $2,000 to replace and that is a lot of fuel as a comparison. Other expensive parts that can fail from poor fuel quality are: catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, fuel injectors and throttle bodies. TOP TIER™ detergent gasoline is recognized as a premier IXHO SHUIRUPDQFH VSHFL¿FDWLRQ

and among brands that were tested were both TOP TIER™ and other non-TOP TIER™ brands. After only 4,000 miles, the other brands caused 19 times more engine deposits than the top tier brands and the resulting carbon deposits reduced fuel economy, heavily increased emissions and impacted overall vehicle performance and economy. After all of this, yes TOP TIER™ fuel costs more but it’s well worth it. All fuel stations that sell TOP TIER™ fuel have it clearly posted on their pumps. So, in short, unless

there is a sign on the fuel pump stating TOP TIER™ detergent gasoline, I recommend going elsewhere. In the long run, the small savings at the pump is not worth the cost of large repairs bills that could occur down the line. I hope this information has been helpful!

What has carried you through this pandemic? What will you carry forward? SPIRITUAL ESSAY

ith the governor’s order lifting COVID-19 restrictions on June 30th, we have entered a new space as a community. What from these ¿IWHHQ PRQWKV ZLOO ZH FDUU\ forward into this new territory before us? This virus has taught us, hopefully at the cellular level, that we are one family sharing a single planet and that what infects one can infect all. May we carry forward the awareness that our destinies are tied together and work for better local, state, national, and international public health measures.

What has this virus taught us? While our destinies are tied together, COVID has not affected everyone equally. Health care access and vaccine availability have skewed toward richer nations and wealthier people within those nations. Yet it was poorer “essential

workers” that insured crops were picked, trucks were driven, shelves were stocked, fast food prepared, and meals were delivered. May we carry forward the awareness that those who mattered most in the worst of last year ought to be matter

equally this year. When hospitals were swamped last year and healthcare workers were stretched beyond reason, communities rallied to express support of frontline workers. By physical distancing and masks, we were able to protect others so healthcare workers could do their life-saving work.

#OREGONLIFE

How Gizmo, a very magical horse, helped save my life... one ride at a time My journey to calling Oregon Home LIFE ESSAY

woke up shivering and in a state of panic in the middle of a cold and snowy winter night three years ago when I lived and worked near Washington D.C. A few hours earlier, I had engaged in bench-watching the new season of Orange is the New Black RQ 1HWÀL[ The popular show that displays the rough life of female inmates, including cheating, verbal and physical abuse and deceit, had left me numb and tense. Besides my hectic life in a busy city as a single mom dealing with long hours at work, the show was probably not the right addition to my stressful lifestyle. I felt unsettled, anxious and on the edge. That fateful night, trying to lower my stress levels, I grabbed the remote control DQG VWDUWHG ÀLSSLQJ FKDQQHOV I stopped on a show called Heartland. The story revolved around horses. Not only did it help soothe my nerves, but the show also grabbed my attention as I became more curious about horses.

Although I liked their physical beauty, I had always imagined horses as larger-than-life creatures and somewhat intimLGDWLQJ 6XUSULVLQJO\ P\ ¿UVW initial direct contact with horses was magical and made me feel at easy and connected. My love affair with horses in the Virginia heartland didn’t last long. I decided to move back to Washington County, Oregon, to be close to my mother who had serious health issues. The move across the country with my daughter and facing a new

daunting reality was taxing and stressful. Being a caregiver and seeing my mom’s condition deteriorate didn’t help either. I didn’t have time for horses anymore. Eventually my mom passed away peacefully as I IDFHG D GLI¿FXOW JULHYLQJ SHULRG ZKLFK ZDV PRUH GLI¿FXOW because I had not considered Oregon as home - only a temporary residence to be closer to my mom. That week, as my family was taking care of funeral matters, I met my neighbors who said they owned two horses. One was named Gizmo. They were very kind and invited me to ride the horse and even take lessons. I obliged and was happy to be around horses again. Gizmo was the best healer. Exactly what I needed at that moment in my life.

I never knew my life could be saved and healed by this beautiful horse. Large and strong yet gentle and so forgiving. Gizmo is teaching me patience and unconditional love one ride at a time. Not only is Gizmo helping me deal with grieving, but he has also helped me call Oregon home again.

Building a Better Beaverton OUR TOWN Beaverton Night Market Moves to New Location in Downtown

he Beaverton Night Market will be back in person this summer in a new location! The market will take shape this year on the streets of downtown Beaverton at Southwest 1st Street and Southwest Tucker Avenue on two back-to-back days, Friday, Aug. 13 and Saturday, Aug. 14. In addition to vendors, performers and designated food courts, this year’s Beaverton Night Market features an exciting collaboration with the La Strada dei Pastelli Chalk Art Festival. Two of the festival’s sites will be within the market area and feature live artists and performers during the hours of the market so attendees can experience both events when they visit. Now that state restrictions have been lifted, the Beaverton Night Market will no longer require limited entry. For more information, visit www. BeavertonOregon.gov/nightmarket.

Help with the Community Vision Update: Take the Survey! The Visioning Advisory Committee (VAC) presented its plan for an update to the city’s current Community Vision at the Mar. 30 City Council meeting. The VAC are the primary authors and accountability partners for the plan, which also includes input from community members and various partners. The group is gearing up for a 2021 update, which will review, and possibly update, the SUHYLRXVO\ LGHQWL¿HG FRPPXnity goals and the 104 current action items.

• Build Community • Create a Vibrant Downtown • Improve Mobility • Expand Public Services • Enhance Livability What do you think should be priorities? A survey will be available later this month at www.BeavertonOregon.gov/vision.

“The current Visioning board is energized and enthusiastic about getting started on this update,” said VAC City Council Liaison Mark Fagin. “I hope all members of our community will take a few minutes to add their thoughts about our city and help shape the future of Beaverton.” During the City Council presentation, VAC members shared a tentative plan that would include an 18-month process consisting of outreach to community members, surveys, virtual and live events, and other participation. Goals include a focus on intentional outreach to traditionally underrepresented groups, being responsive to the changing needs of the community, DQG GHYHORSLQJ D ¿QDO SURGXFW that will be useful for the City Council and staff.

Congratulations Shutterbug Celebrating 50 years of capturing memories OUT & ABOUT

ust a few years after immigrating to the United States, 31-year-old Parviz Samiee received the opportunity of a lifetime - a loan from the Small Business Administration. With these funds, in addition to what he and his wife Maudie had saved, he was able to leave his position of managing a Payless camera counter to start his own store. In August of WKH GRRUV RI WKH YHU\ ¿UVW Shutterbug opened in Salem’s Lancaster Mall. Complete with orange shag carpeting and a photo studio with mushroom-shaped stools, the store was eye-catching and inviting. Customers were treated with kindness, pro service and enjoyed a curated offering of the ODWHVW FDPHUDV ¿OP DQG SKRWR ¿QLVKLQJ After two years of initial success, a perfect second location became available in Beaverton’s

brand-new Washington Square! Right next to Meier and Frank, this store also attracted “shutterbugs” with its incredible customer service. Soon, The Shutterbug stores were established around the state as far south as Medford, east to Bend, west to Lincoln City, and north to Portland. 2QH RI WKH ¿UVW LQ WKH QDWLRQ WR RIIHU VDPH GD\ ¿OP GHYHORSLQJ The Shutterbug’s famous service, “In by 11, out by 5” kept their in-store labs busy all day long. Looking back, Parviz and Maudie feel that the Shutterbug’s staff and devoted patrons are truly what made their stores so special. Their team of camera-loving men and women created a community for photo enthusiasts to shop, talk and share beautiful imagery. August 2021, Samiee’s The Shutterbug success is truly a story of The American dream, right here in Oregon.

Summer is just now getting into full swing and we want to enjoy it as long as we can. We are not thinking about pencils and notebooks because we are dreaming about sweet corn and peaches. Here in the BFM, mid summer means a transition from early season fruits such as strawberries and cherries to more stonefruit, a wider variety of berries and of course, melons. Hermiston Melons has an array of melons, including cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, and their infamous “Black Mamba” watermelon.

#TEENESSAY

MLB has become very exciting to watch Thanks to twoway phenom, Shohei Ohtani

Could Shohei Ohtani be the next Babe Ruth?

TEEN ESSAY

ast week, I had the chance to go to Seattle to watch a Mariners game against the Los Angeles Angels. The full stadium was a sign of things starting to return to normal, at least in the world of sports. How long it had been since the stands were populated by fans who cheered and stood from their seats instead of cardboard cutouts! Watching baseball live is always a memorable experience. But this day game in particular was special. Second in the Angels’ batting order is the Japanese two-way phenom: Shohei Ohtani. If you’ve glanced at any sports show or have been reading news headlines, there’s a chance that the name “Ohtani” rings a bell. So what? • 33 home runs before the all-star break! • a two-way player reminiscent of Babe Ruth! That’s what! To people not familiar with baseball, all of this hype could be mystifying. So, what about him makes it onto sports headlines every week?

Being a major league pitcher is hard. Within a 25-man active roster (player list) of a team, only 12 are composed of pitchers. Ohtani is one of those core players in the Angels’ bullpen, and his splitter is his foremost tool. Hitters strike out 90% of the time when it’s thrown, the highest for any pitch type in the MLB. This effectively sees opponents getting on base only 1.2 times per inning. While it’s only a little past the halfway point of the season, Ohtani has many noteworthy batting stats. So far (as of July 17th), he has contributed 74

Not only is Lisa working one year above grade level in reading & writing, but she is also working a whopping 6 YEARS above grade level in math, WOW! This means Lisa is already working through high-level high school material. Outside of her outstanding progress in Kumon, Lisa enjoys playing piano, drawing, studying Chinese, and coding!

year above grade level in reading & writing, and 5 YEARS above grade level in math. This means that Russell is already studying pre-algebra, which is high-level middle school work. Besides these incredible academic feats, Russell loves to swim, as well as play piano, draw, study Chinese, and code alongside his sister. We are continuously in awe of the intellect and understanding these siblings have displayed so early in their lives, and cannot wait to see where it will take them.
