Autumn Lake by Lana Nelson
This painting was a journey during the Covid pandemic. It began as an unfinished hooked rug project from 50 years ago and rose in 2020 from storage in my attic to expressing the unreality of our world in 2021. I think the momentous and dramatic overature from the ballet, “Swan Lake” also works with “Autumn Lake” “Autumn Lake” is the October Big Bold Painting featured at Village Gallery of Arts in Cedar Mill.

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.

The BRG is available for pickup at over 170 locations from large grocery stores to small dentist offices.

hese delightful colors bloom not only in our gardens each Spring, but bloom on the streets of Old Town Beaverton as well. Like bees, EXWWHUÀLHV DQG RWKHU SROOLQDtors, these beautiful baskets help attract visitors from far and wide. Once here, while the SROOLQDWRUV EX]] RU ÀXWWHU IURP one yummy basket to another, visitors can experience the variety of restaurants and shops that make Old Town Beaverton a distination to come back to again and again. The hanging basket program started in 2002 from a City Council agenda bill for the Hall DQG :DWVRQ %HDXWL¿FDWLRQ SURMect. In addition to the creation of The Round Amphitheatre, WKH SURMHFW FRQVLVWHG RI KDQJLQJ ÀRZHU EDVNHWV IURP May to October each year. Today, there are 360 baskets hanging along the following streets: Hall Blvd. Watson Ave., Lombard St., Broadway St., and Farmington Rd. 7KH ÀRZHUV DUH SURYLGHG E\ The Garden Corner in Tualatin and carefully chosen to make sure they keep their blossoms the entire 6 months they are up.
Over the years, 100+ different varieties of plants have been used in the baskets including: Special Supertunias, Calibrachoas, Lysinachias, Scaveloa, Brachychomb, Sutera, Santivitalia, Cuphea, and Plectranthus. Two seasonal employees rotate on a schedule to water the baskets every day and fertilize once a week. They use a 10-gallon water-wise container with a 3-gallon water reservoir which reduces water waste by 50%. This container allows the plants to withstand extreme heat during summer months. These two amazing ÀRZHU FDUHWDNHUV DOVR EUDYH WKH summer heat and complete the task of watering all 360 baskets in a single 10-hour shift! Fortunately, the two employees can rotate on 4-day schedules.
Thanks to the City of Beaverton’s Landscape and Urban Forestry Department for help with this story. To find the right native plant for your garden, visit Clean Water Service’s webpage for interactive questions and answers.

Costume Avenue urges you to get creative and make someone smile! Fun in a new world SPOTLIGHT STORY
P
andemics and lockdowns may be new to most of us, but adversity certainly isn’t. In all walks of life, in every part of the world, in every era, people have faced nearly insurmountable challenges. It is in those most trying times that our humanity shines. These days it’s no different. Even here at Costume Avenue, in our little corner of 1st & Main, Old Town Beaverton, humanity shines despite it all. In the face of the Pandemic our customers had to get creative in their efforts to have fun; some would dress
up the whole family for a mini parade to entertain their block, some would wear mascot costumes and goof around outside a sick person’s window, and others did the ‘waist-up dress-up’ thing when their Zoom meetings got dull, all for a few precious smiles. Call it courage, SHUVHYHUDQFH RU MXVW SODLQ stubbornness, when laughter is hard to come by, we get creative. With Halloween coming up it’s the perfect time WR JHW WKRVH FUHDWLYH MXLFHV ÀRZLQJ (YHQ LI \RX DUHQ¶W yet comfortable with going to parties or trick-or-treating remember that there is always another way to have fun and do it safely. Our little store is full of options
year isn’t as bad as the last and, hopefully, tomorrow will be better than today. Remember that progress is progress no matter how small it seems. So hold on to that momentum. Happy is healthier so get creative and make someone smile. Get silly and make yourself smile. Find your fun in this new world of ours.

lack bears are found throughout Canada, the United States, and the northern half of Mexico. They prefer remote, inaccessible areas. They are extremely adaptable and show a great variation in habitat types, though they are primarily found in forested areas with thick ground vegetation and an abundance of fruits, nuts, and vegetation. American Black Bear conservation Black bears once lived in larger numbers throughout North America, but hunting and agriculture have driven them into heavily forested areas. In their current locations, black bears are numerous and thriving, but they continue to be threatened by habitat destruction, poaching and motor vehicle accidents.

To protect yourself and your business, you may want to review your insurance to make sure you have the right kinds and amount of coverage. General liability insurance can be appropriate for sole proprietors, if you’ve established an LLC or you’ve incorporated your business.

Fall is a good time to weather-proof your car Easy maintenance tips to see your car through the winter months AUTO Q&A
Is your car ready for winter?
Hello Loyal Beaverton readers.
T
hank you all for reading and writing in, we greatly appreciate it. We would also like to thank all of you for your feedback and comments. One reader recently asked a very good question: What inexpensive things can I do to help my car survive the upcoming cold and rainy Beaverton weather? Excellent question and the answer is far more important for older vehicles, than it is for newer, or new vehicles. With Summer all but a fading memory, now is the time to start getting our vehicles ready for the colder months ahead. Here are some very simple items to help keep your vehicle in top operating order. Check the battery Fall is a good time to inspect your car battery, making sure the cables and terminals are snug, and retighten if needed for good contact. If your
connections are dirty or showing corrosion, disconnect and clean them with a wire brush or cleaning tool. Be aware that when you disconnect the battery, you may have to re-enter a security code in your radio or navigation system. This is a very common aspect to be aware of with today’s sophisticated electronics. If the vehicle is to be parked for extended periods of time, it may be wise to connect a trickle charger, or battery tender. Check the head lamps As our vehicles age out headlamps can become cloudy and or hazy, this is a more common issue on vehicles that are parked outside and not in a garage. When the headlamps get cloudy and hazy, they no longer are as bright as they once were therefore limiting our ability
to see the road as best we can. Headlamp lenses can easily be polished with recently available headlamp restoration kits which can run slightly over $20 for a good kit, and the results last for quite some time. This is a very good investment that will pay off when driving during those rainy (and possibly snowy) evenings. Check the wiper blades Wiper blade inspection is also a very good idea. If they are streaking or not clearing the windshield of debris, you FDQ ¿UVW WU\ WR FOHDQ WKHP 7KLV is done by simply using full strength glass cleaner on a clean rag and wiping the wiper blades clean and free of summer debris which settles on the blades. If the wiper blades continue to streak or not clear debris, obviously it is time to replace the wiper blades. Beaverton NAPA
on Lombard and Broadway in downtown Beaverton is where I go. The staff is very helpful and if you purchase wiper blades, one of their counter people will install them for you. If you want to go a step farther, a nice, good coat of rainX is something I always apply to all of my vehicles for the wet season. This will help repel the rain and snow during the winter. It’s amazing how well this product works. Check the tires Tire inspection is also very important. Again, with the amount of rain we commonly get, a good amount of tread allows us to avoid hydroplaning in addition to improving the car’s stopping power and overDOO URDG WUDFWLRQ +RZ WR MXGJH whether we need tires is really quite simple: insert a quarter into the tread; if you can see George Washington’s hairline then your tread is 1/8th of an

Beaverton stands ready to resettle Afghan refugees Sanctuary city resolution passes unanimously OUR TOWN
W
hen Afghan refugees start arriving on the West Coast, Beaverton will be ready for them. The City Council this week approved a resolution declaring the city a “sanctuary” IRU $IJKDQ UHIXJHHV ÀHHLQJ WKHLU homeland to escape the Taliban. Beaverton Mayor Lacey Beaty introduced the resolution, noting that the crisis in Afghanistan is “personal” for her. “My husband served with an Afghan interpreter who is currently in danger,” Beaty said.
www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
Mayor Beaty with husband who served in Afghanistan “We will be called to action when refugees start arriving, and I look forward to working together on policy and funding mechanisms that will help us roll
out the welcome mat.” The resolution, approved unanimously, declares that there is a home in Beaverton for
refugees of the war in Afghanistan and that the city stands ready to support the resettlement of Afghan refugees who hold a Special Immigrant Visa. “Beaverton has a long history of being a community that welcomes people from all over the world to live here and become members of the community,” said Councilor Marc San Soucie. “That includes immigrants, DACA Dreamers, and refugees from many war-torn and impoverished regions of the world. Now Afghanistan is in crisis, and I strongly support any assistance Beaverton can offer to help resettle refugees from Afghanistan in our great city.” The council passed the resolution Aug. 24, two days
before terrorists connected to the Islamic State killed 169 people - including 13 U.S. troops - in suicide attacks outside the airport in Kabul. The 13 U.S. service members who died included 10 Marines, a Navy sailor and an Army soldier. The military has QRW LGHQWL¿HG WKHP RU JLYHQ D VHUYLFH DI¿OLDWLRQ IRU WKH ODVW victim. Beaverton leaders celebrated the contributions of its immigrants and refugees during Welcoming Week that happened Sep. 10-19.

Simple steps to help ensure a safe and happy Halloween Halloween Safety

A
s we march toward the end of October, the days are getting shorter, the nights a little colder, and the weather a little wetter. Welcome to fall in WKH JUHDW 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW Throughout the month, kids of all ages have been thinking about, and planning for, Halloween. Many of us have already decided on costumes and are now working on those ¿QDO GHWDLOV WR PDNH WKLV WKH best Halloween-candy-haul ever! It’s easy to argue that we all need a break from the challenges of the last 18 months, and what could be better than spending the evening pretending to be someone (or someWKLQJ HOVH ¿OOLQJ +DOORZHHQ bags with candy, and reveling in the world of make-believe? While Halloween has the potential to offer a break from reality, it also provides an opportunity for real-life tragedy.

Monsters on the Prowl in Sexton Mountain was 43% more likely to be involved in a fatal crash on Halloween than on any other night. Children between four and eight years old were ten times more likely to be involved in a fatal pedestrian crash on Halloween. (Staples JA, Yip C, Redelmeier DA. Pedestrian Fatalities Associated with Halloween in the United States. JAMA Pediatr. 2019; 173(1)). While the total number of fatalities are relatively low, considering the millions of children out trick-or-treating, it’s doubtful the families of those involved would argue it’s LQVLJQL¿FDQW
To prevent a tragedy like that from happening here, the Beaverton Police Department would like to remind Halloween drivers to be extra cautious. • Please slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods; children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways. • Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians, and on curbs. Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. Minimize the number of GLVWUDFWLRQV ± HVSHFLDOO\

The choice of Halloween costume, and accessories, can also make a valuable difference. • 8VH UHÀHFWLYH WDSH RU stickers on your costume and candy bag. • Choose face paint and makeup, instead of masks, so as not to obstruct vision. • Carry glowsticks or ÀDVKOLJKWV WR KHOS VHH DQG be seen by drivers. • When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right VL]H DQG ¿W WR SUHYHQW WULSV and falls. 7UDI¿F VDIHW\ LV LPSRUWDQW to all of us at the Beaverton Police Department.

K
yla from the Eugene Shutterbug loves taking photos of pumpkins every Halloween. Here are her instructions on how to creDWLYHO\ FDSWXUH \RXU MDFN R ODQWHUQ carvings this year.
What you’ll need: A camera, tripod, and a hand-held LED light.
Before we dive in: 1) Wear dark clothes, so you don’t show up in the photo. 2) Make sure any light source inside the pumpkin is pushed back inside so it doesn’t give a light glare. 3) Give the pumpkin space so you can move around it without tripping. 4) If you’re shooting a
group of pumpkins, make sure you set them up so they’re not blocking each other.
Camera Set-Up: Place your camera on a tripod, point at your
pumpkin. Turn your camera mode dial to “Shutter priority” DND ³6¶ RU µ7Y¶ PRGH 7R ¿QG the ‘right’ settings, you will have to play around with your dials a
• Nikon’s Camera Remote app: SnapBridge, • Canon’s Camera Remote app: CanonConnect, • Sony’s Camera Remote app: ImagingEdge Mobile Take the Photo Fire your camera and wave your handheld light quickly around your pumpkin for the whole duration
of your shutter speed (2-10 seconds).If you move the light in front of your pumpkin, keep it low so you don’t block your carving with the light painting. Play around with how you’re moving the light. Experiment as PDQ\ WLPHV DV \RX FDQ 7KH ¿UVW shot might not be ‘the one’. If your light painting looks too dark or if there are not enough light streaks, increase your shutter time and try again.
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.

You don’t have to be from Norway to practice frilufsliv
O
regonians continue to band together to do their part to spread the Delta variant of COVID-19. While many in our FRPPXQLW\ HQMR\ VRPH IUHHdoms now that they and other family members are vaccinated, many are still needing to be extra cautious, especially families with young children back in school and daycare. So, the question is, given that Quarantine Fatigue is real, how are we going to cope with the continued restrictions in order to stay safe, but still having normalcy? It was easy to move activities outdoors during the summer, but what do we do for fun during our cold, wet winter months? As the temperature drops, more people will gather indoors where there is less opportunity for viral particles to disperse — increasing the risk of coronavirus spread. Poorly ventilated buildings will add to the risk. Oregonians are hearty souls, but being outside during the winter seems like an unlikely option for many people. If you are one of them, we recommend looking to the Norwegians for advice regarding Friluftsliv. Pronounced free-luts-liv, it means “open-air living”. Stanford University health psychologist, Kari Leibowitz, explains that friluftsliv is all about having a positive wintertime mindset. It is a commitment to celebrating time outdoors, no matter the weather forecast. According to National Geographic writer, Jen Rose Smith, it might be the model for coming more safely, and sanely, through the approaching winter pandemic season.

Ed Addis, Ambassador of Chess A friend to every chess player LEARNING CHESS
I
f you read this column regularly, you know I usually SUR¿OH ORFDO FKHVV VWXGHQWV and their efforts to improve their games. Today I’d like to tell you about an older local chess player, one who has been a great friend to me and also to the area chess students. My friend Ed Addis was a leading member of the chess community as a player, coach and tournament director for almost 60 years. When he died recently, we lost one of our main event organizers and directors, which is a loss to chess players of all ages. , ¿UVW PHW (G LQ WKH V when we played in the high school chess league. He was the top player for David Douglas High School and I was the top player at Madison High School. We played against each other many times over the years. At every tournament I would seek out Ed. His friendly way made the games WKDW PXFK PRUH HQMR\DEOH Between rounds Ed, I and some of the old guard, who were reaching middle age, would gather and talk about
past tournaments and show our chess games. After retiring Ed started volunteering and helped restart the high school chess league becoming the tournament director. He helped schools start chess clubs and became the coach for Clackamas High School for a number of years. Ed was one of the top tournament directors for the Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation, directing 10-12 tournaments a year. During the summer he would hold small tournaments at libraries or in the parks to keep the kids interested in chess over the summer. He would give out chess books from his own library and get prizes donated. His tournaments were run perfectly and he was always ready to help other directors at their tournaments. No problem was too ELJ RU WRR VPDOO KH MXVW OLNHG

helping out. Ed was also happy to sit and review a player’s game to help that player understand where they may have gone wrong. Every player felt better after going over their game with Ed. They felt that they didn’t lose but that they got a lesson and would play better in the next round. Now when I go to a chess tournament, Ed won’t be there. When a group of kids are reviewing their games with an adult Ed won’t be there. I’ll think about the contributions he usually makes and hope there are new ambassadors to WDNH XS WKH VODFN %XW WKH\ MXVW won’t be like Ed. Game of the Month: Sicilian Defense • White: Ken Hunsucker • Black: Edward Addis 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 g6 6.Be2 (The Attack popularized by Velimirovic and Fischer of castling long and playing h2-h4-h5 has attracted most SOD\HUV E\ LWV EUXWDO HI¿FLHQF\ but there is something to be said about the older Be2 and 00 line.) 6...Nc6 7.Qd2?! Bg7 8.Nxc6 (As Black threatened ...Nxe4, this is probably White’s best attempt to strengthen his position.) 8...bxc6 ± ±
10.Rd1 (Black should pay close attention to the center and play 10...Be6 when 11. Qf4! repositions the Queen in an aggressive manner when White has a fair game.) 10...a5 11.e5 Ne8 12.exd6 exd6 13.Ne4 (Now the positioning of his Queen on d2 begins to tell against White. After 13. Qf4 White still has a good game.) 13...Bf5 14.Nxd6 Nxd6 15.Qxd6 Bxc2 16.Rd2 (White replaces the blockading Queen with a blockading Rook, and the problem of developing his queenside grows with each move. Black now stands better.) 16...Be4 (Simpler was 16. ...Qxd6.) 17.Qc5 Qb8 18.f3 Bd5 (Bishops are better organized than White’s. From now on Addis’ superior endgame play takes over to score the point. White should now try to get rid of one of Black’s Bishops with 19. Bc4.) 19.Rc2 Re8 20.Qf2 Qa7! (Effectively preparing to double Rooks and removing White’s most active piece.) 21.Qxa7 Rxa7 22.Kf1 Rae7 23.Bf4 (Allowing the win of the b-Pawn, but White really had nothing better.) 23...Rxe2! 24.Rxe2 Bc4 25.Rae1 Bxb2 26.Bd2 a4 27.Kf2 Rxe2+ 28.Rxe2 Bxe2
29.Kxe2 Be5 (The extra Pawn on c6 gives Edward all the winning chances. The next step is to activate his King. The rest of the game proceeds almost like an endgame study.) 30.h3 Kg7 31.Kd3 Kf6 32.Kc4 Bd6 33.Bb4 (Otherwise White cannot stop Black from improving the position of his King.) 33...Ke6 34.Bxd6 Kxd6 35.Kb4 Kd5 36.Kxa4 Kc4 (Squeezing the White King.) 37.Ka5 c5 38.a4 Kd4! 39.Kb6 c4 40.a5 c3 41.a6 c2 42.a7 c1Q 43.a8Q Qc5+ The Queens are exchanged and then Black’s King invades the kingside many tempi ahead of the White .LQJ ± s with Coach Larry e on Skype yahoo.com
