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).
e have an exciting lineup of community favorite events coming up this summer! When you’re not out exploring all of the natural beauty of Oregon from the coast to the mountains and beyond, I hope you’ll stop by one of our signature events. More details about all of the events are included in the July/August edition of <RXU&LW\ GHOLYHUHG WKH ¿UVW week of July), but I want to highlight three: • Flicks by the Fountain (Encanto!), • Ten Tiny Dances (it’s amazing what those performers can do on tiny stages!), • and Night Market (food and beverages and goods IURP VR PDQ\ GL൵HUHQW cultures—need I say more?). We’re participating in the Mayors Institute on City Design through which we will receive pragmatic recommendations on urban planning and design
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.
challenges. Federal and State funding has been rolling in to support a variety of projects around the City, and we are still submitting more requests! I’ve been out in the community cutting ribbons, WKURZLQJ ¿UVW SLWFKHV PHHWing with constituents, and attending events. Let me know how I can support you.
Lacey Beaty was elected Mayor of Beaverton in 2020. Prior to serving as Mayor, she served for six years on the Beaverton City Council.

Time for a Change at the Beaverton Downtown Association A Heart for Downtown 6.
DOWNTOWN
I
remember standing on the roof of Westline Apartments in downtown Beaverton in 2018. I looked out over the community that I was bound to love. I thought of my life before Beaverton, and I knew that this place would change me. I only hoped that I could change it too. It’s been four really great years. Really hard years. I’ve led the Beaverton Downtown Association as far as I feel I should take it, and so it is with a total bitter-sweet feeling that I am sharing that Friday, June 17, 2022 was my last day with this organization. It’s time for new leadership here, and I am excited to see our next executive director, Kamil Khan, thrive in this role and continue building upon all of the good here in downtown Beaverton. Over the past four years, we have had some wonderful highlights including:

Nice guys (and girls) finish last? Really? I disagree BUSINESS ADVICE
M
aybe it seems that way when you’re young. and, I’ll concede that maybe nice guys might finish “last” in a short term sprint...but in the long run...in my opinion, nice guys cross the line 1st in the long Marathon of Life! My youngest child, Emma, just graduated high school. Besides being super smart, passionate and hardworking: Emma Is Nice! She might be the nicest person I have ever known. Because of this, Emma is a collector of friends. True friends. Not the shallow “friendships” that tend to occur during middle and high school. Emma is a kind young lady. The first thing into her mind is not criticism...or judgement. It is typically acceptance for who someone is, and interest in them. In her most recent world, of young people trying to be popular...and belong to popular groups...it is easy for teens to leave true friends behind, for who or what they perceive to be a better situation for them, or another rung up in the ladder of popularity. Typically, this creates hurt feelings, rifts, stress, tears and worse. If you navigate life with interest in people, acceptance of who they are, a keen ability to listen...and simply being nice and respectful... generally speaking, you too will be a collector of friends.
Graduating with a degree in
*nice* By no means do I recommend being a punching bag or pushover. Sometimes you have to draw the line, walk away from friendships, stick up for yourself and protect your own persona and reputation. But, over time, if you are known for being nice... you will be happier and more enriched. It’s nice having financial security...but in my estimation, those with a collection of true friends are the wealthiest people. Having witnessed my 18-year-old daughter’s journey through what can only be termed as the 7 most stressful social years of young peoples’ lives: I have seen her gather friends from many grade levels, cultures and social groups. Humans love being engaged respectfully... they love being respected... they feel special when other are nice to them. Emma could run a master class! In parting, some questions I have for you Mr. Manager, Miss General Manager, Mrs. Owner:

Oregon Zoo welcomes ten tiny pond turtle hatchlings It’s a critical time OREGON ZOO
Smaller than a walnut
T
en tiny northwestern pond turtles have arrived at the Oregon Zoo’s conservation lab. The zoo is “head-starting” the endangered reptiles, caring for them until next spring when they will be large enough to KDYH D ¿JKWLQJ FKDQFH LQ WKH wild. “The hatchlings are especially vulnerable at this stage,” said Sara Morgan, senior keeper for the zoo’s Great Northwest area. “They’re smaller than a walnut — so tiny, a bullfrog can gobble them up right out of the nest.” The American bullfrog,
native to the eastern United States, is considered invasive here and has been driving pond turtles and a host of other small, vulnerable aquatic species to the brink of extinction. This spring, Morgan and her
colleagues helped Washington Fish and Wildlife biologists retrieve the turtle hatchlings from sites in the Columbia Gorge, transporting them to the zoo conservation lab. With heat lamps and plentiful food,
the turtles experience summer year-round so they don’t go into hibernation. Once they weigh a little more than 2 ounces, they are returned to their ponds and monitored for safety. “We make sure they’re safe and warm, and have all the food they need,” Morgan said. “When they go back to the wild, they’re only about a year old but they’re as big as 3-yearold turtles.” The northwestern pond turtle, also known as the western pond turtle, is listed as an endangered species in Washington and a sensitive species in Oregon. Two decades ago, the turtles were on the verge of
completely dying out in Washington, with fewer than 100 left in the state. Since then, more than 1,500 zoo-reared turtles have been released. “This is a critical time for these turtles,” Morgan said. “We need to get their population numbers up if we’re going to save the species.”
Visitors can watch the hatchlings grow inside the zoo’s Nature Exploration Station. For video of the new arrivals, visit bit.ly/10-tiny-turtles. For more zoo animal stories, visit oregonzoo.org

Should cats be kept indoors? Q&A with the animal shelter ANIMAL SHELTER
T
here are many risks that come with allowing your cat to roam freely around your neighborhood. Not only is your cat in danger of being hit E\ D FDU RU LQMXUHG LQ D ¿JKW with another animal, but they may also harm birds and other wildlife while out and about. Being outside also increases the chances they will be mistaken for a stray, even though
an indoor cat is A safe cat they have a family back home! If you have a cat, we urge
you to keep them inside. Whether they are indoors or out, double check that the contact information associated with their microchip is current and that their tag is easy to read and accurate. This will help your cat get back home LI LW ¿QGV LWV ZD\ WR D VKHOWHU or into the arms of a Good Samaritan. If you have a free-roaming cat that you would like to move indoors permanently, know that this may take some time. One idea is to start with feeding your cat indoors,
gradually increasing the time you keep them inside after each feeding. Be prepared for some pushback against the new lifestyle, such as scratching at doors or window screens, meowing or yowling, and attempts to escape. If you have the space and resources, you may want to consider adding a catio to your home. Catios are outdoor enclosures that provide a happy middle ground for cats that enjoy being outside and their owners who want to keep them safe.

eaverton and Tualatin Hills are hosting a July 4 Concert and Celebration. Or if you want a taste of our city’s artistic and cultural diversity, take in Ten Tiny Dances, a performative arts event on July 9 upon a 4’ x 4’ stage. If an intercultural and family-friendly Night Market with ethnic foods and craft vendors sounds intriguing, circle July 23 on your calendar. Shakespeare was right about this time, “Summer’s lease hath all too short a date.” Deferred vacations since March of 2020 may tempt us to overextend ourselves, leaving us not refreshed by summer’s end but exhausted. John Lubbock in The Use of Life reminds us, “Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, RU ZDWFKLQJ WKH FORXGV ÀRDW across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
How might we best receive this gift of time? May we receive the gift of leisure. There are unparalleled outdoor excursions from mountain peaks to ocean VKRUHV ZLQGVXU¿QJ WR ZLQHULHV nature parks to greenway trails, or farmers markets to being a fan in the stands at Providence Park. May we also receive the gift of light. July is the sunniest month locally; it’s important to remember the extra light can help us see better not just physically, but spiritually. As we woolgather let us receive that light and UHÀHFW XSRQ RXU OLYHV VHHNLQJ interior illumination.
Let us receive the gift of love. Summer romances often fade by season’s end but can be the start of something more durable. For those already in relationships, why not renew that love? Or take up a new beloved hobby, or revive a prior one? July is a gift, let us use it wisely.

I
f you’re an investor, you probably enjoy the convenience of managing your accounts online. But you’ll also want to make sure that you’re not making it convenient for hackers, “phishers” and others with bad intentions to gain the same access. Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do to protect your privacy. Here are a few suggestions offered by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission:
Use a strong password or passphrase. You’ll want to pick a password that would be virtually impossible for anyone to guess, employing capital and lowercase letters, plus symbols and numbers. Of course, you’ll want to record the password in a secure place so you won’t forget it. Instead of using a password, you may have the option of choosing a passphrase, which contains a series of words strung together. You’ll want to avoid phrases taken from popular culture or that are otherwise commonly used. And it’s also a good idea not to use phrases containing
your name, birthday or other SHUVRQDO LGHQWL¿HUV Use two-step authentication. If your LQYHVWPHQW FRPSDQ\ R൵HUV two-step, or multifactor, authentication, you’ll want to take advantage of it, since it’s a good security tool. When using two-step authentication, you’ll need to add an additional factor – such as your best friend from grade school or the model of WKH ¿UVW FDU \RX RZQHG DQG so on – to your username and password. And when you log in to your account from an unrecognized computer, your LQYHVWPHQW ¿UP PD\ VHQG \RX a code via text message or email, which you’ll need to enter to open your accounts. Activate your account alerts. When you turn on your account alerts, you’ll receive text messages or emails notifying you of certain
activities, such as account logins, failed account login attempts, personal information changes, money transfers, adding or deleting of external ¿QDQFLDO DFFRXQWV DQG PRUH These alerts can help you monitor your accounts for fraud and verify your own moves, as well. Avoid using public computers to access investment accounts. If you’re at a hotel or library, try to avoid the temptation to use the computer to check in on your investments. But if you do use a public computer, at least take proper precautions. For starters, don’t leave data on a screen and walk away, even for a moment. And when you’re ¿QLVKHG ZLWK WKH FRPSXWHU ORJ out of your account to end the online session. You may also want to change any password you used.
¿QDQFLDO RU LGHQWLW\ WKHIW (YHQ if the link seems to be coming from a business you know, you’ll want to be quite cautious – experienced “phishers” can now create websites or online documents that look real. And keep in mind that legitimate LQYHVWPHQW ¿UPV ZLOO QRW ask you to divulge personal information without going through the password or twostep authentication protocols already described.
The ability to connect with your investment accounts online can be extremely useful to you – and you’ll feel more comfortable about these interactions if you know you’ve done all you can to safeguard your information.

T
his past week, I had an opportunity to speak with a nice young lady named Jenna who was in need of a vehicle in the $5,000 price range (which unfortunately in today’s market basically doesn’t buy much). Since she resides in Beaverton and works in Hillsboro, Jenna wanted a car to cut down on her commute time. She called me for help but ended up and we even set up an appointment but before we could meet, she acted upon what she thought was a good deal. The car she found all the way in Vancouver had a nice exterior and low miles (48,000 miles over 14 years). It was also being sold by

a grandmother whose grandson moved to Texas. Jenna felt comfortable with the grandma so purchased the car with cash. As she was driving home, however, she noticed some noise from the engine and called me to see if I could take a look at the noise
and evaluate her purchase. Of course, I told her she should have waited for me (or anyone for that matter) but I’m also happy to inspect cars for customers so when she arrived, , ¿UVW UDQ D FDUID[ UHSRUW :KDW we discovered was not good news. The report basically told us that the car had never had any maintenance in over 14 years, not even a basic oil change! To verify this, I removed the RLO ¿OWHU FDS DQG IRXQG RYHU DQ inch of hardened sludge. Next, we removed the engine valve cover and this too looked so bad, it was obvious the whole engine would need replacing soon. Jenna asked how bad, so I explained that the engine noise was a direct result of zero maintenance and only having
oil added over 14 years when it was low meant that sludge built up over time and was blocking the oil galley ways, starving the engine of proper lubrication. In the end, we wound up selling the car to an auto wrecking yard for $200. The moral of the story Buyer beware! Do you research or hire a professional.
There are many sellers out there who simply want to rid themselves of a car with known issues or in Jenna’s case, was about to require extensive maintenance. In the event anyone is in search of a new or pre-owned vehicle, please let us know. We would be honored to be of assistance.

A good story Should change the way you see the world #TEENESSAY
When parents get divorced, the children get divorced too The impact of divorce on kids
My parents are getting divorced . . .
TEEN ESSAY
I
moved to Oregon when I was on the cusp of turning ¿YH \HDUV ROG , ZDV PRYHG because my parent’s divorced. Now, I’m not about to give you a sob story, but I’ve begun to have a continuous conversation between me and my close friend (who also lives within a divorced family) about the greater impacts of it. There is an understanding that when parents divorce, children are split up and shared. I’ve always thought of it as if the children too are divorced. They never went through the black and white wedding, but they were most likely part of a promise made.
And so am I And that promise was broken, in a clean manner or not. But the interesting thing is that the impact of divorce differs depending on the child or parent. Parents feel it, live through it in bright colors, and so might older children. Younger children do not. Life continues as somewhat normal as things do not
fully get processed in their young minds. Then, let’s say ¿YH RU VL[ \HDUV ODWHU PRUH questions are raised and there is a scramble to understand what had happened. This is all natural, but what happens when the parents aren’t willing to speak? If all the questions a kid has are left unanswered, and if WKH\ DUH QHYHU IXOO\ ÀXVKHG
out, then when the child grows older, does divorce not matter? Will marriage for them hold less gravity? This is all hypothetical, but there are probably people thinking divorce is nothing to bat an eye at. I know sometimes it truly is best to break apart a marriage, but how that break happens is important. My mother brought up that marriage today has less meaning than it did when she got married, that the intentions going into it are PRUH VHO¿VK I don’t fully agree with this, but this perspective feeds into the idea that if the gravity of divorce lessens, do those tying the knot not fully understand the longevity that being married implies?
As a teenager, I think how adults address the culture around divorce is an important conversation and one that impacts children, no matter what age.

Why home loans today are different from those 20 years ago The tighter loan standard of today REAL ESTATE
I
n today’s housing market, many are beginning to wonder if we’re returning to the riskier lending habits and borrowing options that led to the housing crash 15 years ago. Let’s ease those concerns. What is the MCIA Several times a year, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) releases an index titled the Mortgage Credit Availability Index (MCAI). According to their website: “The MCAI provides the only standardized quantitative index that is solely focused on mortgage credit. The MCAI is... a summary measure which indicates the availability of mortgage credit at a point in time.” Basically, the index determines how easy it is to get
a mortgage. The higher the index, the more available mortgage credit becomes. The index stood at about 400 in 2004. Mortgage credit became more available as the housing market heated up, and then the index passed 850 in 2006. When the real estate market crashed, so did the MCAI as mortgage money became almost impossible to secure. Thankfully, lending standards have eased somewhat since then, but the index is still low. In April, the index was at 121, which is about one-seventh of what it was in 2006.
many mortgages were written for borrowers with a FICO score under 620. While there are still some loan programs that allow for a 620 score, today’s lending standards are much tighter. Lending institutions overall are much more attentive about measuring risk when approving loans. According to the latest Household Debt and Credit Report from the New York Federal Reserve, the median credit Why Did the Index Get out of Control During the score on all mortgage loans RULJLQDWHG LQ WKH ¿UVW TXDUWHU Housing Bubble? of 2022 was 776.

Teen Writing Contest Winners Broken Record by Sarah Trastanetz, Grade 10 International School of Beaverton The tune skips, every now and then. The music starts soft, like a warm touch, reaching out to hold you. The sound progresses to get louder, and the record dances. The tune skips, every now and then. The soft touch is not the same as it was first felt, And the music progresses to get louder, It feels blaring each time it is played. The tune skips, every now and then. You cannot take the record out of the player, because like you, You are stuck and cannot move forward. You will not move, but repeat. Because mistakes come circling back to you, Like a broken record, The tune skips, every now and then.

Sarah’s Inspiration for this story:
“My inspiration to write Broken Record came from my record player, and of course, a broken record. I had one record that would play for a while till it reached a certain song and began to repeat itself (jump). I really liked that sound. It was repetitive, which inspired me to write this poem. I thought about ideas/ interpretations that related back to me and this broken record. The idea of a thing always coming back to me. Life doesn’t feel like it LV PRYLQJ IRUZDUG ,W ZDV ¿WWLQJ I also played around with how I wrote the poem, making certain phrases “the tune skips, every now and then” really repeats itself in the poem, giving it a sense of realness. I really like writing poems, and writing things for SHRSOH WR GLJ WKURXJK DQG ¿QG their own meaning to. Like a story, except shorter, you still need to read it all to really understand it and interpret it how you want.”
Life is Not as it Seems
No one is filled with glee
by Sumaya Mayfield, Grade 7 International School of Beaverton
Those beautiful trees and wondrous sights were just a ploy
Why is death inferior to life? Is it because we have no clue what will happen after this?
Frightened of something everyone will experience
Us human-beings are filled with strife
Fright not, scared not, but accepting
Life does not give us eternal bliss
Why must we all be so curious?
It is OUR thinking that lead us to believe death should be avoided Working until the ripe old age of 65 Everyone of us, exploited The rich are the only ones who thrive The trees outside we don’t have time to see The sights we don’t have time to enjoy
Yet here ye are, lamenting Remember, you are in control of how you perceive the world Don’t spend your time sitting in a ball, curled Sumaya’s Inspiration for this story:
“I chose to write a poem about how life isn’t as it seems because the realization that nothing will ever be perfect in this world hit me.”

Beaverton High School alum and Olympic track star honored with award Congratulations to Mac Wilkins OUR TOWN OHJHQGDU\ WUDFN DQG ¿HOG star was honored in Beaverton. Olympic Gold Medalist Mac Wilkins attended Beaverton High School decades ago, but his legacy on the track lives on. The high school honored him with an award reserved for the state’s top global-ranking athletes, Friday. Wilkins attended Beaverton High School back in the 1960s and only for his senior year, but he made quite an impression on the track. He was a track star here and went on to win two Olympic gold medals. Now, decades later, the high school is honoring him with a
A
commemorative plaque from museum of world athletics. “Open as many doors as you can. You don’t know which one is going to be the best door for \RX IRU WKH QH[W ¿YH GD\V ¿YH years, or 50 years,” Wilkins said. After graduating from Beaverton High School in 1969, Wilkins went on the University of Oregon to become a national champion for discus before

becoming an Olympic medalist for that same event. Wilkins’ former classmate and competitor, who now coaches track at Beaverton High School, refers to him as “Multiple Mac,” a nickname to honor his many accolades. “My goal was to break the school record, held by some guy named Mac Wilkins,” he said. “He then went on to make
four Olympic teams , winning gold in ‘76, silver in ‘84, breaking the world record in the discus four times, doing it three times in one meet. Multiple Mac could do it all.” Now, Wilkins can add another award to the list, the Oregon 22 Heritage Trail Plaque from the World Museum of Athletics. It is an honor reserved for athletes who achieve global medal
status. Each plaque is installed in the athlete’s hometown. The honor was made even sweeter as Wilkins celebrated alongside his mother who turned 95 on Friday. She sat in the rain as Wilkins received his award, something he said she often did all those years ago right here in Beaverton. “Nobody will love you in your life as much as your mother. Nobody. Don’t forget that,” he said. Wilkins’ plaque is one of just 22 being installed statewide to honor Oregon’s iconic track stars..

ext month on July 16-17, nationally-recognized and regional chalk artists will gather in the heart of Downtown Hillsboro, Oregon for La Strada dei Pastelli Chalk Art Festival. Artists will have 48 hours to complete large-scale images, most averaging 10x10 feet, centered around the theme “Joyful Play.” Their drawings are made with chalk pastels drawn directly on asphalt. Not meant to be purchased or carried away, chalk art is a temporary and ephemeral form of public art. In honor of the 500-year old tradition of Italian street painting where artists draw publically for the masses, Tualatin Valley Create’s La Strada dei Pastelli is an immersive experience into the creative process. The process starts just as one would imagine- with a line drawing. As each hour passes the array of red, yellow, blue,
and green hues begin to blend into semi-recognizable features. The drawings really start to take shape by mid-day Saturday. Returning Sunday morning, the DUWLVWV UH¿QH WKHLU SLHFHV ZLWK colors, shading, and realism. By 6:00pm Sunday each one-of-akind image is complete. “The festival has been successful for four years, and now with the support of the City of Hillsboro, we are expecting this to be our best year yet!” says Raziah Roushan, founder and lead coordinator for the chalk festival. ³(YHU\RQH KDV EHHQ D൵HFWHG E\ the times, and there’s no better time than now to celebrate joyful
play through the chalk creations, live performances, and family activities.” The Festival will also feature a collection of live entertainment by local performers, local art vendors showcasing multimedia works, food, drinks and ample family activities to provide fun and entertainment all weekend long. Tualatin Valley Creates is extending a special invitation to media partners interested in promoting the festival. On Friday, July 15th from 4:30-5:30pm, festival founder Raziah Roushan and festival coordinators are available for interviews. During
this time, media partners are also welcome to capture photos and footage of the team setting up in anticipation of the weekend. Event: La Strada dei Pastelli Chalk Art Festival • Date: Saturday July 16Sunday July 17, 2022 • Time: 10:00am-6:00pm each day • Location: Cultural Arts District in Downtown Hillsboro along E Main Street (1st Ave to 4th Ave) in Hillsboro, Oregon • Cost: FREE For more information, visit https:// tvcreates.org/lastrada/

Strawberries generally peter out by the second week of July, but shoppers will be lucky to enjoy this sweet treat through the end of July, maybe even early August! Shoppers that have their eyes on heirloom tomatoes, corn, and okra may need to wait till later in the month, or even August to pick up these summer items. It may be tempting to shop
