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” by www.livibility.com, 2018). The goal of The BRG is simple and can be easily read at the top of each month’s cover: “Connecting Community”. 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. Find the county’s event calendar, the Beaverton Farmers Market Vendor Guide, regional theatre line ups, a full list of library programs and more. The BRG is available for pickup at over 170 locations from large grocery stores to small dentist offices.

Abhiruchi South & North Indian Cuisine digestive aid but basically it’s made of homemade yogurt with Onions, Tomatoes and Cucumber. Rao says the active culture “reduces spiciness on the tongue and in the stomach” but I just say it’s delicious and worth the visit. Some of the Rao’s recommended dishes include Chicken Masala, Lamb Vandaloo, Mixed Veggie Pakora and Flavors of Biriyani.
Come enjoy a taste of India SPOTLIGHT STORY
A
bhiruchi roughly translates to having a high “opinion of taste” and if you are looking for my opinion on where you can enjoy a taste of India, then Abhiruchi Indian Cuisine comes with my recommendation. The owner, who is also the head chef, has over 37 years of cooking experience that dates back to 1994 when he arrived from Hydereabad, the capital of southern India’s Telangana state. Upon arriving to the US, Rao opened up Abhiruchi restaurant in the old K-Mart shopping center on Murray and TV Hwy. Specializing in both northern and southern Indian styles, Rao caters to to both casual and experienced diners of Indian cuisine. They take pride in their service, quality of food and vast range of traditional dishes they can serve. According to Rao, “our objective has been and continues to be, one of introducing the Indian delicacies to QRQ ,QGLDQV DQG WR ¿OO WKH void which some Indians feel about missing the home

We are ever grateful to our wide customer base and their overwhelming support.” Abhiruchi South & North Indian Cuisine is surely one RI WKH ¿QHVW ,QGLDQ UHVWDXrants in Beaverton. Their restaurant is best known for its outstanding food,

R
rrrr-Rrrrr-Rrrrr. You know that sound…the sound of a car with an old battery trying to start on a cold winter morning. These days, many businesses in the Beaverton area feel like that old car. March 2020 brought the full punch of the pandemic on employers, from the supply chain to the human resources side. As we entered 2021, there was hope on the horizon with effective vaccines becoming available and restrictions starting to loosen. Finally, on June 30th, the State of Oregon lifted all restrictions. So naturally,
Does your business feel like an old car? the engines of local businesses cranked up and purred like a kitten, right? WRONG.
There are many factors that appear to continue the
4 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 11 - Issue 9 (September 2021)
drain on local businesses. Obviously, the Delta variant is having a major impact, but the current labor shortage has also led to rough
re-starts for local businesses. As a job developer connecting with a variety of employers in different industries, this shortage of willing workers continues to be a major factor. Companies that can afford it are offering hiring and/or retention bonuses to attract workers, but not all businesses have this luxury, and many continue to struggle. All this is to say, please be kind, slow down if you can, and practice some patience when you are out supporting local Beaverton businesses. They may be shorthanded, but they are trying their hardest to meet
demands. They truly do want your business. We are not immune! DCC is hiring Direct Support Professionals. If you are looking for work, have a High School Diploma and some experience (personal or professional) working with individuals with disabilities, please fax your resume and a brief cover letter to Jennifer at (503) 672-7668.

Just as you would do if it was you who got bit, for dog bites call Animal Services at 503-846-7041, and for all other animal bites call DCAP at 503846-3594. By law, dogs that bite humans and break the skin must be quarantined and observed for 10 days. This is to make sure they do not show any symptoms of rabies. Although rare, this is a
very serious and deadly disease that can be transmitted through a bite. If a dog is up to date on its rabies vaccine, it can usually be observed at home. If a dog is not up to date on its rabies vaccine, or if the bite was a particularly dangerous one, the dog may be required to be quarantined and observed at a licensed YHWHULQDULDQ¶V RI¿FH RU ZLWK Washington County Animal Services. Under most circumstances the dog will be released from home quarantine and/or returned to the owner at the end of the observation period.

The froglets, which hatched from eggs collected by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife earlier this year, spent six months growing big and strong in a protected area at the zoo before being released into the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge this summer. “They come to us as eggs, and we keep them safe and well-fed until they grow legs and can hop on their own,” said Shelly Pettit, who oversees the zoo’s frog-rearing efforts. “A big, healthy young frog has a much better chance of surviving in the wild than an egg or a tadpole.” In Washington, where the zoo-reared froglets were released, the species has been listed as endangered since 1999 and only one known

Natural support for menopause Nourish your soul HEALTH
I
n Chinese Medicine, during a woman’s reproductive years, there is a channel that travels from the heart to the uterus in order to nourish any offspring. When a woman goes into menopause this channel shifts to go from the heart to nourish the soul. In this way a woman becomes wiser and learns to live in a deeper, more contemplative life. Symptoms such as hot ÀDVKHV PRRG VZLQJV QLJKW sweats, sleeplessness and heart palpitations occur as the energy in this channel moves to its new location. Thinking about this shift often eases some of the aggravation that I experience when having a hot ÀDVK ZLWK P\ PDVN RQ DQG my glasses fog up and I

become uncomfortably hot and sweaty. But I also feel like things have changed in a positive way for me. I am less likely to ignore something that bothers me. I have experience and perspective about things in life that I didn’t have when I was younger. I am more likely to voice these opinions regardless of what others may think. I feel more sure of who I am.
Menopause can cause a lot on symptoms that are uncomfortable and frustrating. Couple that with the loss of fertility and from a cultural viewpoint -a loss of beauty. It is not for sissies. Hormones can ease the symptoms of menopause, but they carry risks, especially the synthetic ones. Bio-identical hormones which are structurally identical to our own hormones
probably have less risks and can be tailored in doses VSHFL¿F WR DQ LQGLYLGXDO but they are expensive and insurance won’t usually pay for them. Non-hormonal support to ease some of the transition into menopause can be helpful. Increasing soy in the diet (organic, nonGMO) if you are not sensitive to it, black cohosh, wild yam, maca root all can help. These plants contain hormone like substances called phytoestrogens which will boost hormone levels. There are a number of products on the market with these ingredients geared to ease KRW ÀDVKHV Sleep is critical and many women struggle with night sweats, heart palpitations and sleeplessness. Melatonin, motherwort (an herb in the mint family), progesterone
cream can help. The other big symptom is vaginal dryness. There are hormone creams that can be prescribed if it is bad, but coconut oil, vitamin E capsule broken open or inserted vaginally or a good quality lubricant can ease some of the discomfort. Menopause is not pathological. It is a natural part of life. Treat it as a sacred transition. Consider the ways that you can work to nourish your soul. Find fellow women to share this phase of your life with. Honor your connection to yourself.

The Forgotten Path to Health You DO have some control! HEALTH
C
ovid cases are on the rise again. Heart disease, cancer, and diabetes rates continue to increase. Obesity and chronic illnesses are at all-time highs.
Life is a journey...
What are we to do? If you are looking for a simple 5-step answer to reversing all your health issues, this is not the article for you. However, if you are willing to spend some time making real changes in your lifestyle, you will reap the rewards for a lifetime! To begin a discussion on KHDOWK ZH PXVW ¿UVW GH¿QH health. According to the World Health Organization: “Health is complete physical, mental and social well-being and not just the absence of disease or LQ¿UPLW\ >SDLQ @´ I like to simplify this to: “The body’s ability to FUNCTION and REPAIR to the best of its God-given healing ability.” It is important to know that it is the brain’s job to control
the function and repair of every organ, tissue, and cell in the body. Having a properly functioning spine and nervous system allows one to experience better repair of the body. Chiropractors have been dealing with this aspect of health for over a hundred years. Many patients come into P\ RI¿FH IRFXVHG RQ JHWWLQJ the pain to stop. That makes perfect sense because pain can consume almost 100% of our attention. Pain though is often the alarm, not the problem. Heart disease, cancer, and HYHQ GLDEHWHV KDYH QR VSHFL¿F symptoms, especially during the early stages of onset. Thus, waiting for a symptom before you start making lifestyle
changes could be too late. Okay, let’s cut to the chase! The path to health begins with the food in your kitchen, travels through the thoughts in your head, continues down the road to the gym, all while being careful to avoid toxicity in your environment. Add this to a healthy spine and nervous system and you are well onto your way to better health. Your body was designed to eat food. Understand that there is not ‘junk food’ and ‘health food.’ It is either junk or food! The more processed the items you eat, the less it is food. Ideally it is best to eat organic fruits and veggies, clean meats (meaning no hormones, antibiotics, or pesticides), and
healthy sources of fat. Positive and negative thoughts have a major impact on your health. Consider this, if you spent 5 minutes per day (or longer) focusing on how sick, tired, and rundown you are – doesn’t it make sense that your health will suffer. Yet so many people spend much of their day stuck in a rut. The opposite then would be to focus on the blessings and the good in your life. This is not meant to be a just think it and get it idea, nor is it intended to be a ‘get over it’ type of comment. If this is an area you struggle with, it would be a great idea to talk with a professional. We all know that we need to exercise. It doesn’t necessarily need to be at the gym, but we need to move – daily. Go for a walk, ride a bike, participate in an exercise class on Zoom or YouTube. You can even join a gym. Whatever you enjoy doing – begin and keep on keeping on. An often-overlooked area affecting health are toxins in our environment. Not just the pollutants in the air and FKHPLFDOV XVHG RQ ¿HOGV DQG yards, but inside as well. How often do you change your
IXUQDFH ¿OWHU" :KDW W\SH RI cleaning products do you use in your home? Are you using personal care products with lots of chemicals and unhealthy additives? Are you eating conventionally raised meat and/ or non-organic produce? All of these toxins add up over time. Whew, that is a lot to process in such a short time! The best way to be successful is to take small steps. Pick one or two things you can add, or do differently. After a couple weeks, assess your progress. Modify what needs to be PRGL¿HG DQG DGG DQRWKHU VWHS or two. • It is progress, not perfection that you need. • Remember life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride!

These foods give more energy than coffee Try some apples, eggs or beets HEALTH
M
orning coffee is a regular for many of us, and a staple part of our morning ritual in order to take on the day. Caffeine can bring quick highs, jitters, and afternoon crashes, however, and even the most ethically grown organic fair trade coffee on the market isn’t considered something that should be consumed daily. If it is just the energy that you are looking for, there are healthier alternatives to eat in the morning, and many can be found grown locally. Here are a few locally grown foods that you could try replacing with the daily cup of Joe and see if you get the pep in your step without it:
www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
Need energy that’s not coffee? Try an apple! Apples: Apples have 13 grams of natural sugars that process through the body slower, while providing the same effect as caffeine. The energy you get is directly related to how long it takes to digest, which allows the body to avoid a spike of energy.
Eggs: While not as energizing on their own, they are packed with protein, Omega 3’s, and healthy fats which help to slow down the metabolism in the body. If eggs aren’t for you, try looking for cooking protein with an Omega 3 Oil, live Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Beets: This little veggie is GH¿QLWHO\ OHVV SRSXODU EXW should get the attention it deserves. Beets are packed with QLWUDWHV WKDW KHOS EORRG ÀRZ which allows more oxygen to get the cells, creating energy. Not only that, but they are full of FDUEV VXJDU DQG ¿EHU WR JLYH D longer boost. With all of these foods, drinking water and a little exercise, even a short walk, will greatly enhance the effect you get. Even
if you aren’t looking to cut coffee out, they can make a great addition to your morning.

When it comes to my mom’s health, I’m not afraid to take charge Who’s the parent? Who’s the child? SENIOR LIVING
A
s I have been growing older - and so has my mom - a shift has been happening where the parenting roles reverse: I become the parent and my mother becomes the child. 6KH LV DQG VXSHU ¿W IRU KHU DJH She swims 40-50 minutes 3-4 times a week and walks every day including a 3-mile walk once a week with a friend! Given this amount of activity, you may wonder why would she need ‘parenting’ at all. One of the areas of concern is her health. Mom, what’s wrong with your leg?
My mom recently noticed something uncomfortable in one of her legs. Honoring her privacy, I recommended that she get it checked out. “Oh no, it is nothing” she said. I am not one to sit still when it comes to health concerns so when she continued to mention it, I wanted to step in and take control of the situation. Unfortunately, that’s much easier said than done. There is nothing more upseting to my mom than for me to insert myself into her health care.
Mom, go see a doctor Fortunately, she was already going to see a podiatrist for a toe issue, so she asked him about her leg concern. He gave her an ultrasound and discovered that, yes, the condition was serious enough and needed to be evaluated by a surgeon. Being told that she would receive a call, she went home with anticipation. Two weeks went by and still no call from the surgeon so she called her podiatrist to ¿QG KH ZDV RQ YDFDWLRQ 7KH\ WROG KHU that he would call when he returned. 1RZ LQWR WKH WKLUG ZHHN P\ PRP ¿nally received a call from the podiatrist’s RI¿FH DVNLQJ KHU KRZ WKH VXUJHU\ ZHQW"
Here are some of the lessons I learned I’d like to share some insight I’ve gathered from this personal story which, by the way, is still being played out. Parents, please add a friend or family member to your medical record so that when needed, the doctors have permission to speak to the assigned person. This is critical and it greatly helps your loved ones understand what is happening with your health. As an adult child in this instance, it was worth having my mom be XSVHW ZLWK PH LQ RUGHU WR OLJKW D ¿UH XQGHU the podiatrist and let the surgeon know about her health issue.
Three weeks was really one week longer than I wish I had waited. Giving our parents some leeway is important AND there may be a point where it is life altering if we do not step in. Our parents will always be our parents and we their children, and it is true that WKH UROHV ÀRZ EDFN DQG IRUWK LQ VXSSRUWive and loving occasions, appropriately judging the right time to step in with care and respect is important. If you would like to learn more about real estate and move management services, please contact Kimberly. Call 971-227-1302 or visit www.pdxmaturemoves.com.
Mom, it’s time for me to play parent You can imagine how I was practically out of my skin wanting to manage the situation. My mom asked me not too and I agreed although, by now it was over the top. When I returned to Portland, I tried WR VOHHS DQG FRXOG QRW , ¿JXUHG RXW ZKR the surgeon was and made a call.

529 plans: Not just for college Put it to work for your family FINANCE
I
f you’ve heard of 529 plans, you might think they can only be used to help pay for college. And you wouldn’t be alone: Less than one-third of adults SURSHUO\ LGHQWL¿HG WKDW D plan can be used for more than just higher education, according to a survey by Morning Consult and Edward Jones. But what are these other expenses? Before we get to them, let’s UHYLHZ WKH PDLQ EHQH¿WV RI plans. Contribution limits are high and earnings can grow tax-free if withdrawals are used IRU TXDOL¿HG HGXFDWLRQ H[SHQVes such as tuition and room and board. (Withdrawals for QRQTXDOL¿HG GLVWULEXWLRQV DUH subject to taxes and a 10% penalty on the earnings portion.) Plus, as the account owner, you maintain control of the plan, so \RX FDQ VZLWFK EHQH¿FLDULHV WR DQRWKHU TXDOL¿HG IDPLO\ PHPber, if necessary. Now, let’s consider the other uses of 529 plans, which have
been made possible by various pieces of legislation over the past few years: Student loan repayments – The average amount of student loan debt per borrower is well over $32,000, according to the Federal Reserve. So, many people welcomed the news that 529 plans could be used to repay student loans. There’s an aggregate lifetime OLPLW RI LQ TXDOL¿HG student loan repayments SHU SODQ EHQH¿FLDU\ plus $10,000 for each of the EHQH¿FLDU\¶V VLEOLQJV %HLQJ able to use 529 plans to repay student loans gives you some ÀH[LELOLW\ LI \RXU IDPLO\ members have excess balances in their accounts. K-12 expenses – A 529 plan can now be used to pay up to $10,000 per year in tuition expenses at private, public and religious elementary and secondary schools. This amount is per student, not per account. However, not all states allow 529 plans to be used for K-12 expenses – or to be technical, some
states consider K-12 tuition WR EH D QRQTXDOL¿HG SODQ expense, which means the earnings portion of a 529 plan is subject to state income taxes and possibly a “recapture” of other state income tax breaks connected with 529 plan withdrawals. So, make sure you understand your state’s rules on K-12 expenses before taking money out of your 529 plan. Apprenticeships – Not every child wants or needs to attend a college or university. And now, 529 funds can be used to pay for apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor. These types of programs, which combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, are offered at community colleges and trade schools. Once students complete their apprenticeships, they often go on to wellpaying careers in a variety of ¿HOGV $QG VLQFH WKHVH W\SHV of programs are typically far less expensive than a four-year college degree, a 529 plan can have a particularly long reach.
The tax treatment of 529 plans for all these expenses can vary from state to state, so, if you move to another state after you’ve established your plan, you’ll want to know the rules. Even if you don’t move, it’s still a good idea to consult with your tax advisor about how 529 plan withdrawals will be treated.
Nonetheless, a 529 plan could be valuable to you in many ways. Consider how you might want to put it to work for you and your family For more information, contact Karen Bolin at 503-356-1190. “My focus is on legacy planning, charitable giving strategies, and socially responsible investing options.”

The Micro-chip shortage The impact of COVID-19 on the auto industry AUTO Q&A
Where are all the chips?
Hello Loyal Beaverton readers.
T
hanks to all of you who have written in or called, we love answering your questions. Over the last few weeks, we have had many of our Beaverton residents ask about why there are so very few vehicles available, and why certain service operations are delayed? Here are some interesting facts to help us all understand more about how the COVID19 has further caused issues that are not health related. New Vehicles New vehicle shopping has been a crazy rollercoaster ride since the COVID19 pandemic hit the US last spring, and buyers just do not understand how there cannot be any vehicles
over a year later. I get phone calls seemingly every day IURP SHRSOH ZDQWLQJ VSHFL¿F YHKLFOHV ZLWK VSHFL¿F RSWLRQV and I have to tell them the bad news. There has to be an understanding that, right now, we cannot be picky and for time being, we simply have to take what we can get. This means EHLQJ ÀH[LEOH ZKHQ LW FRPHV to things like options and color unless, of course, you special order a vehicle but in this case, delivered could be many months out. What happened? First, the global shut down occurred which meant stagnant inventory but no new deliveries. Then, when automakers
went back to work, they reopened with less staff while the demand for new vehicles sky-rocketed. The new vehicle inventories at dealerships were snatched up faster than automakers could build them. Now, ZKHQ PDQXIDFWXUHUV DUH ¿QDOO\ fully operational and wanting to meet the new car demand, we have a global micro-chip shortage. The Micro-chip shortage These chips are primarily produced in China and it’s harder for the U.S. to get the chips in general. China shut down sooner and came back sooner, so they were able to get the chips domestically earlier than other parts of the world.
Another car producing country that has access to chips is South Korea. So, what country with huge car market doesn’t have someone in their corner? The U.S. domestics. :KHQ WKH ¿UVW JOREDO VKXW down occurred, the chip manuIDFWXUHUV QRW RQO\ FORVHG ¿UVW EXW DOVR UHRSHQHG ¿UVW $IWHU the automakers had ceased production, they were not considering their contractual agreements with microchip manufacturers. When this occurred, the chip manufacturers began selling their microchips elsewhere, putting us exactly where we are today: a lack of
microchips for our domestic auto industry. This is also true with some vehicle servicing as well as repairs that would require parts, many of which contain microchips. I sure hope this information will be of use to all of our readers.

ConnectingCommunity It’s that’s time again... watch out for school buses
Traffic Q&A: With the Beaverton Police Department Q: I was waiting to turn right (East) onto Farmington from Hall Blvd and when the light turned green, a family started to cross from the other side of the street. The three cars in front of me all rushed to make the turn in front of the family crossing. Is this legal or should they have waited for the family to cross entirely and turn only when they reach the other side? ANSWER: Motorists must give the pedestrians one lane plus six feet. If three cars got through before the distancing issues were in effect, so be it.
#BEAVERTONPOLICE
School is back in session it’s time to watch for school buses! PUBLIC SAFETY
H
ere is a quick refresher course for the drivers in your family. Remember, you cannot pass a school bus when WKH UHG OLJKWV DUH ÀDVKLQJ ² even when the school bus is coming from the other direction on a four-lane highway with a painted center median strip or a center turn lane. All vehicles must stop- and remain stopped- as long as red lights DUH ÀDVKLQJ There is one exception to this law- if you are on a divided highway with two sides separated by an unpaved median strip or barrier, you
must stop only if you are on the same side as the bus. School Bus Drivers will turn RQ ÀDVKLQJ DPEHU OLJKWV - 300 feet in advance to warn WUDI¿F WKDW WKH EXV LV SUHSDULQJ to stop on the road to load or unload children. Drivers should get ready to stop.
Q: While on SW Murray Blvd. between Millikan Way and Farmington Road I noticed a lot of people using the safety zone median strip to pass other cars in order to get in the left turn pocket. Is that legal? ANSWER: Passing in a no passing zone under ORS 811-420 is considered to have occurred if a person drives a vehicle to the left of the roadway against a “Solid Yellow Line” on the pavement for more than the last 100 feet prior to making a turn. Although the “continuous left turn lane” may look like a legal lane of travel, it is not.
Q: There’s a strange signal at the fire station on Farmington Rd near Beaverton High School. It has 3 red lights that stay on for a while then flash. I haven’t seen this type of signal at other fire stations so what is it and why was it installed? Also, must cars stay stopped even then its flashing? ANSWER: This is a new type of traffic signal and has been used successfully to increase motorist awareness at high traffic volume, midblock crosswalks in other cities around the country. It is a “HAWK” or High-intensity Activated crosswalk signal. While the lights are solid red the motorist must stop and stay stopped. Once the lights go to a flashing red the motorist must come to a complete stop but may proceed when the pedestrian has cleared the crosswalk.
Q: Is it legal to change lanes in the middle of an intersection?
From BPD in partnership with WCSO Information and diagrams are available in the Oregon Driver Manual published by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Let’s all do our part to keep our kids safe!
ANSWER: There is no direct Oregon Revised Statue that says you can’t change lanes in an intersection. However, ORS 811.375 Unlawful or unsignaled change of lane states you violate this statue if the change of lane cannot be made with reasonable safety. So depending on the circumstances you could end up with a ticket for changing lanes in an intersection. I would not recommended doing it.

Photo using ND Filter & Tripod
#THESHUTTERBUG
Take stunning photos of waterfalls With only two accessories OUT & ABOUT 1. A neutral density (ND) ¿OWHU 2. and a tripod.
N
D Filters reduce the amount of light making its way into the camera. With less light entering the camera, you will be able to slow a camera’s shutter speed down to capture a longer exposure, without over-exposing the image. Over exposing a long exposure typically leads to bright undesirable white patches in an image. A slower shutter speed allows anything moving in your frame to become blurred, and in this case, create that smooth water effect. In order to keep your photos sharp, you will want to use a tripod. Tripods do not need to cost you an arm and a leg. You can get away with a $40 tripod, but higher end tripods will allow you to shoot at different angles, and even upside down. Now that you have your tools, find yourself a waterfall!
If you want to practice at home, you can set your gear up next to a sink with running water to test out these settings. Set up your camera on the tripod, and find a composition you like. Remember to use your ND filter (circular or fixed). You can shoot in aperture priority, shutter priority or manual. Turn your ISO down to ISO 100. You want your aperture somewhere between f/5.6-f/22, and your shutter speed to be at least 5 seconds, or longer. Feel free to increase your shutter speed up to 30 seconds to capture an even smoother effect. Last but not least, be sure to set a two second timer on your camera. If you find that your image is too dark, be sure to decrease your shutter speed (slower). If you find that it is too bright, increase your shutter speed (faster).
Have more questions? Schedule a 1-on-1 in-person photo class at the Shutterbug (1 hr for $45) online or in-store! Interested in renting from The Shutterbug, Beaverton? Give us a call for availability at (503) 639-5088.

Out and About... There is always something to do in Beaverton #ChesswithCoachLarry
Chess with a European flair! Meet 10-year-old Alec Pobanz LEARNING CHESS
F
or over 300 years Germany has been one of Europe’s chess powers. Emanuel Lasker became World Chess Champion in 1894 and since then many chess stars have risen. 10-year-old Alec Pobanz, born in Germany of U.S. parents, is the latest to start studying to become a chess master. Before moving back to America his family spent a few years living in Switzerland, also known for great chess and chess players. People play chess everywhere: cafes and parks, anywhere there is room to set up a board. People walking by can stop and watch the games. Being exposed to all this chess, it didn’t take much to get Alec interested in learning the game. He has spent this summer working with Coach Larry at the Steinitz Chess
Alec Pobanz Academy, playing some tournaments and meeting other chess-playing kids. Alec also is looking forward attending Scholls Heights School, hoping to be part of the school’s chess team and playing in the upcoming Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation chess tournaments during the school year. Alec wants to be able to play in the Oregon State Class Championships in Seaside, Oregon.
When Alec is not working on his chess openings, chess tactics or playing online, he practices the piano and likes to read history books. Baseball is another favorite activity, whether it’s part of a little league team or just a bunch of guys in a pick-up game. Soccer is something else he learned in Europe and enjoys. Europe’s loss is Beaverton’s gain. We are looking forward to Alec playing chess here for many years.
