ow many of us have wondered at one point or another in the previous month if a certain store or organization was open for business at this time? During these phases of re-opening according to the state and nation, we seem to be caught between two worlds; between “pandemic” and “normal”. So where are? Should we move forward toward getting back to the way we have always done things, should we remain distanced and safe, or is there something in between? We live in a time and place where we are experiencing the very tensions of “already/not yet”. We long to move forward towards normalcy, yet we understand that things will never quite be the same—the future has yet to reveal itself. And at the same time, we can’t allow such moments to paralyze us from living our daily lives. Belden Lane, author of “The Great Conversation” writes about this tension as he recounts the thoughts of renowned thinker Carl Jung: Jung raised the great question of our time: How do we
¿QG D ZD\ ³WR JHW HYHU\WKLQJ back into connection with everything else?” In struggling to ¿QG DQ DQVZHU KH ZDUQHG ³:H must resist the vice of intellectualism, and get it understood that we cannot only understand.” We have to get out of our heads and into the wilds. We have to risk ourselves to mystery. We have to love what ZH¶UH ¿QDOO\ XQDEOH WR H[SODLQ Only then will we comprehend the power of community that is already ours. So that’s my hope for us as well during these days of mystery and the unexplained. May we get out of our heads for a few moments each day. May we embrace the unknown, welcoming the paradox of the already/not yet world amongst us. And may we continue to live into the community that we are blessed to be part of each and every day. ~Pastor Jeff

OUR TOWN: MAYOR’S MESSAGE
I see signs of hope Message from the Mayor CITY NEWS
I
often share about what makes Beaverton the great city that it is, and the wonderful comments I regularly hear from people who call our community home. Lately though, the more I speak with residents and witness some of their experiences, the more I realize that our community is hurting. Even with our diverse makeup and a commitment to being welcoming, Beaverton is not immune to the systemic racism that has plagued our institutions and services for far too long. From Beaverton’s incorporation more than 127 years ago on Indigenous land to the state’s historically racist treatment of People of Color, many have suffered at the hands of our government. Rightfully, there is a strong spotlight on these institutions, as well as an equally strong commitment from our leaders in public service to remove this bias. For that reason, I’m proud to have been the second mayor in Oregon to sign the
My Brother’s Keeper Alliance pledge led by former President Obama and commit to review city policies, seek community LQSXW FRPPXQLFDWH ¿QGLQJV and reform our police use of force policies. But, it can’t and shouldn’t stop here. Systemic racism is real and pervasive, and we all have a role to play in its demise. Despite our current struggles, I see signs of hope. I’ve attended Black Lives Matter gatherings led by local residents and have witnessed the energy of people of all backgrounds committed to making Beaverton better. The work is emotional, demanding, and long overdue but I know that we are up to the challenge, together, we will create a brighter future for everyone who calls Beaverton home.

Seems like the years that end in 0’s are both hard on me...and push me to adapt, change, get creative, etc...! Back in 2010, in the midst of one of the worst economies America has ever experienced, I approached my then business partner (who had controlling interest in a different business before I founded my current company) needing to renegotiate our contract, and how much we paid him each month. When we forged our contract in 2005, it was quite a different economy. Then the world changed in 2007-2009! He would not budge, and we ended up turning the company over to him. It was hard on me! Really hard! But I made it through. Other than my wife’s unwavering
support...what got me through was my constant exercise!

Q:
What are my responsibilities in an accident? ANSWER: If you have a traffic crash or collision, you
Join us Sundays at 11am
must:
• Stop at once. If there are no injuries es and vehicles can be safely moved, they should be moved out of travel lanes nes as soon as possible. Information can an be exchanged away from the actual al crash scene. Needlessly blocking or endangering other traffic can result in secondary crashes.

• Render aid. Give any reasonable aid to injured persons. Remember, injured people should never be moved carelessly. In many cases, they should not be moved at all until it is possible to get an ambulance or someone trained in first aid to the scene. If a driver is involved in an accident in which a person is killed or rendered unconscious, the driver is required to remain at the scene of the crash until a police officer arrives. Failure to do so is classified and punishable as a “hit and run”. “Hit and run” is a serious traffic crime. Conviction will mean your driving privileges will be revoked or suspended. • Exchange information. Give to the other driver, passengers in the vehicle, or any injured pedestrian, your name, address, driver license number, license plate number of your vehicle, and your insurance information. • State law requires you to file an accident report with DMV if: 1) Damage to the vehicle you were driving is over $1,500; 2) Damage to property other than a vehicle is over $1,500; 3) Damage to any vehicle is greater than $1,500 and any vehicle is towed from the scene of the crash; 4) There is injury or death resulting from the crash; or, 5) You are the owner of a vehicle involved in a reportable crash and the driver fails to report the crash. NOTE: You must make the report within 72 hours. If you do not report a crash when required to do so, your driving privileges will be suspended. These high-risk drivers climb into a vehicle and take out their frustrations on anybody at any time. Their frustration levels are high and their level of concern for other motorists is low. They run stop signs and red lights, speed, tailgate, weave in and out of traffic, pass on the right, make improper and unsafe lane changes, make hand and facial gestures, scream, honk, and flash their lights at motorists who are in front of them. These are the symptoms of road rage. If you encounter an aggressive driver, make every attempt to get out of the driver’s way. Put your pride in the back seat. It’s a battle with no winners. Wear your seat belt, avoid eye contact, ignore gestures, and refuse to return them.
If you have a traffic question that you'd like us to ask the Beaverton Police Department for this column, email us at: BRG@cedarhousemedia.com. For all other police questions, call the police non-emergency number: 503-526-2260.

Fresh Air: Pug Adoption
Orphaned 8-week-old cougar cub
Don’t stay home alone
Receives help from the Oregon Zoo
Adopt a pug! PET ADOPTION Meet Baily, Female, Age 11 (Adoption Donation: $200)
OREGON ZOO
B
A
tiny, orphaned cougar cub with a big appetite made a brief stop at the Oregon Zoo’s veterinary medical center recently. The cub — an 8-week-old male with a fuzzy, spotted coat and big, baby-blue eyes — was rescued by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife RI¿FHUV DIWHU EHLQJ IRXQG on a logging road outside of Spokane. Since the cub wouldn’t stand a chance in the wild without its mom, WDFW bear and cougar specialist Rich Beausoleil contacted Oregon Zoo keeper Michelle Schireman, who serves as the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ species coordinator for cougars. After a short stopover in Portland for some vaccinations and a medical H[DP WKH FXE FDXJKW D ÀLJKW to his new permanent home at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado. “Without a mother, young
cougars can’t survive on their own in the wild, so I work WR ¿QG WKHP JRRG KRPHV ´ Schireman said. “We would rather they grow up with their moms, but when that’s not an option we want them to have the best lives possible.” “He was a great eater,” said Oregon Zoo veterinarian Kelly Flaminio. “He had baby teeth coming in, and he was not into the formula unless it had meat in it. He purred while eating — you could see how much he enjoyed food.” As AZA species coordinator, Schireman has found homes for more than 150 cougar cubs in zoos around the country. Most of the cougars currently living in U.S. zoos
are orphans she has placed. Usually, though, she never sees the cats she helps. “In most cases, we try to arrange for orphaned cubs to go directly to their new homes,” Schireman said. “But in special situations, and depending on whether we have space, we sometimes take care of them at the zoo until their health has stabilized.”
The Oregon Zoo Foundation is leading efforts to fund critical operating needs of the zoo during its closure. To contribute, go to oregonzoo.org/donate.
ailey is a sweet, goofy 11-year-old puggle with a pug personality and beagle nose. She has enough energy and agility to keep up with her pit bull foster siblings on hikes, but is a total couch potato at home, and puts herself to bed by 8pm. Bailey loves going for walks but she can be pretty leash reactive, especially with bicycles and other dogs. Once she’s been out walking for a while, she calms down and loves to trot and sniff around the neighborhood. Bailey’s adopter will need to be comfortable working with a leash reactive dog (unless you live in a less-populated area where it won’t be an issue). She’s super food-motivated and smart, and continued training will help her mind her manners. Bailey has a strong beagle nose and will sniff out a piece of kibble that fell behind the fridge weeks ago. She’s been known to get into an unsecured trash can or litter box, and will need a home where the family is mindful of keeping dangerous treats out of reach. Bailey is crate
trained and will happily stay crated while you’re out. She’ll then give you a hearty beagle bark when you get home! We think Bailey might be happiest as an only pet, but she is tolerant of the other animals in her foster home. She’s people-oriented and mostly ignores other dogs. She has chased the resident cats off when they get too close to her food, but dog-savvy cats might be okay as long as the litter box is kept well out of reach.

Can I donate to the shelter?
BONNIE HAYS
My family really wants to adopt a pet this summer, where can I find one if your adoptions are still closed?
S
ummer can be a great time to bring in a new family member! Since the Governor’s stay at home order went into place, we have continued to have a very high rate of returning pets to their owners. When pets do not have an owner who they can be reunited with, we have worked to transfer them to one of our many shelter and rescue partners for eventual adoption. Some of these organizations are doing contactless adoptions at their facilities
and some have procedures in place to do adoptions directly through foster homes. On our website, we have a list of other area shelters who may be offering pets for adoption right now.
12 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 10 - Issue76 (July 2020)
I understand why the shelter isn’t currently able to take drop off donations at the shelter, but I still want to give things to help the animals there.
We appreciate your understanding and your desire to help! If you want to donate items, our Amazon wish list link is posted on our website and features the items we use most frequently or that are a current need. We will be continuing to update and add new items, including supplies for animal enrichment and seasonal needs. We often use gift cards to purchase VSHFL¿F LWHPV IRU DQLPDOV with special needs, so those are always nice to have. Pet supply stores are great, but stores like Safeway, Target, Walmart, and Fred Meyer are helpful too as are general Visa gift cards, which are accepted anywhere. Of
FRXUVH ¿QDQFLDO GRQDWLRQV are also gratefully accepted online or by mail as well. Each month, you will have the chance to have your questions answered by the animal shelter. Email your questions to Jennifer_Keene@co.washington.or.us and we will try to answer as many as possible. For more information on these topics and more, please visit www.WashingtonCountyPets.com.

eaching heights of 20 – 60 feet, the Pacific Willow is a short-lived, fast-growing large shrub or small tree. It grows particularly well in wet, heavy soil, often even found growing in VWDQGLQJ ZDWHU VXFK DV ÀRRGSODLQV RU ULYHUEDQNV 3DFL¿F Willows also attract wildlife by providing food and cover for many species, including deer, elk, mice, and cattle. Pacific Willow’s thin, green and elliptical-shaped leaves are 4 -15 cm long and 1 - 3 cm wide, with fine teeth along the edges. They are dark green and shiny on top, with tiny, soft hairs on the yellow-green bottom. This native’s flowers are 1 - 9 cm long yellow catkins (slim, cylindrical flower clusters,
with inconspicuous or no petals), and its fruit is a glabrous capsule. The Pacific Willow has long been used for a variety of medicinal uses, including treating sore throats, toothaches, colds, dysentery, stomachache, dandruff, and diarrhea. Willows can also produce salicin, a close relative to aspirin. Native Americans also used the stems for making bows and baskets, and the bark for making fabric and tea. For modern landscaping, Pacific Willow is ideal as a screen, a windbreak, and as previously mentioned, for attracting wildlife.

t the early part of June our nephew, just short of 27 years old, hung himself. The impact is devastating. We are bereft at the loss of this beautiful young man. It has made me think about the impact of social isolation and the risk of suicide. I have seen in my practice increasing rates of depression and anxiety, especially in those who live alone or far away from family. Add to that the stress of losing a job or working an essential job that puts you at increased risk, along with decreased access to community support like churches or schools. And then, add a history of depression or other mental illness and/or drug abuse and you have the perfect storm. Indeed, quarantine and social isolation have created a strain on all of us but especially on people who have a number of risk factors. Our nephew was such a person. Suicide affects all classes, all ages, but especially teenagers and people over 65. One article claims that
In memory of Robert Merritt, born July 12, 1993, died June 4, 2020
2/3rds of high school students consider suicide. Most people who attempt suicide have sent warning signs to those around them, although few make direct requests for help. Some worrisome signs are that they talk about death; they don’t answer their phone or reach out; they have mood swings; they give away their things, they have a history of suicide attempts or someone close to them has succeeded in committing suicide. Trust your gut – if you think someone might be in trouble, reach out. Don’t be afraid to ask someone if they are having thoughts of ending their life. If they say yes, take it seriously.

hiropractors use their hands to provide spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments. Treatment can involve mobilizing joints or muscles to allow proper healing of an injured body part. The theory is that proper alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure, particularly the spine, will enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication. Manipulation is used to restore mobility to joints restricted by tissue injury caused by a traumatic event, such as falling, or repetitive stress, such as sitting without proper back support.
Check if any of the recommended chiropractors are covered by your insurance plan. If you receive a strong recommendation for someone not on that list, you might consider out of network EHQH¿WV RU HYHQ SULYDWH payment.

A
s businesses and government buildings reopen throughout Washington County, the City of Beaverton would like to emphasize the importance of keeping the public safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 is also known as “coronavirus disease” (coronavirus disease 2019). It is a new disease that can cause potentially severe respiratory illness. Symptoms include fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. The City of Beaverton created a committee with representatives from all city departments and employee union representatives to ensure that the city is following regulations and guidelines set forth by the federal, state, and county governments and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This core plan establishes basic requirements for providing city services in the current COVID environment.

Current actions are as follows: • Continuing telework to the greatest extent possible.
• Continue providing as many city services as possible virtually. • Open and frequent communication with all staff. • When a return to City of Beaverton buildings is necessary: 1) Ensuring adequate separation between workstations, 6-foot spacing or vertical partitions installed. 2) Observing established protocols for employee health self-check and workplace hygiene. 3) Based on state guidance, face coverings are required in indoor public spaces throughout Washington County.

s we have all experienced, this pandemic has been frustrating. We all would like the virus to stop interfering with our lives so that we can get back together with our friends and family and so our businesses can fully reopen. But it is critical that we all remember that this virus remains a serious threat to our public health – even fatal for some of our Washington County residents – and has disproportionately affected the historically underserved and marginalized here in our community. We respect the Governor’s decision to link Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties into one regional territory when it comes to moving into Phase 2 together. In fact, we’ve long had a regional approach to this pandemic and

n 2015, the State of Oregon passed House Bill 2571 relating to law enforcement use of body-worn cameras.

The information provided is current and correct at the time of this publication. Alaska - Like many other states, Alaska is beginning to ease some restrictions that have kept tourists away. On Saturday, June 13th, the state began allowing travelers to enter the state without undergoing a mandatory 14-day quarantine, however, visitors still needed to show proof they are free of COVID-19. Due to the restrictions, most of the major cruise lines have suspended all 2020 Alaska cruises. It also didn’t help when Canada banned all cruise ships until October 31st. Hawaii – The Governor just extended the 14-day quarantine to the end of July. With some of the lowest cases of COVID-19, the Governor plans on keeping those statistics down. Las Vegas – Need to get away for a few days? See if your favorite hotel is listed in WKH ¿UVW URXQG RI UHRSHQLQJ Bellagio, Caesars Palace, The Cosmopolitan, The D, Downtown Grand, Excalibur, Flamingo, Golden Nugget, Harrah’s, The LINQ, M Resort, MGM Grand, New York, New York, The Plaza, Station Casinos, Treasure Island, The Venetian, The Westin, Wynn/ Encore, Paris, Westgate, Luxor, Aria, Mandalay Bay, OYO. Cruises – 97% of our cancelled cruises have rebooked for next year. While those with cruise reservations set for October, November and December, are just waiting to see what happens. Most are very encouraged about the possibility of actually sailing this year. Or waiting until the cruise lines sends out a notice of cancellation, so they can be offered a future cruise credit of up to 150% of what they paid, and can be applied towards a future cruise. As for all cruise lines, most of the
major ones do have a launch date for sailing by October 1st. Will this happen? There’s a 50/50 chance, so yes and no. So far, most of them have been pushing out their launch date farther out as the launch date approaches. Since this is such a ÀXLG VLWXDWLRQ ± WKLV FDQ FKDQJH at any time. Disney – Disney Parks, announced proposed plans for a phased reopening of the Disneyland Resort. Pending state and local government approvals, Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel plans to reopen on July 23, and Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park will plan to reopen on July 17. Additionally, Downtown Disney District will begin reopening on July 9th. Walt Disney World theme parks will open beginning July 11 for Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Animal Kingdom, followed by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15. Passport Renewals – The US State Department did a pretty quick turnaround for new and renewing passports before the pandemic. Usually getting passport back within 2-3 weeks versus the standard 4-6 weeks. They suspended the passport applications for a time and were only processing emergency passports and processing case-by-case as needed. As it enters Phase 1, June 1, they will resume routine passport operations at eleven passport agencies and centers. TSA – Going through TSA, passengers should take extra care to ensure that they do not have liquids, gel or aerosols in quantities greater than 3.4 oz, in their carry-on bags. But in response to COVID-19, TSA

is allowing one liquid hand sanitizer container, up to 12 ounces per passenger, in carryon bags only. Airlines – In the beginning, airlines cancel and refund policies were not fun to deal with as it changed on a daily basis and it was pretty crazy to try and keep up.

s a person with an immense amount of white privilege in America, I feel that it is my responsibility to dedicate this month’s column to talking about the Black Lives Matter movement. For around 400 years, black people have been oppressed. Whether it’s slavery or police brutality, there is no doubt that systemic racism is ingrained in the United States. The only way that things could ever change is if white and other people of color, like myself, educate ourselves, speak out, DQG DFWLYHO\ ¿JKW DJDLQVW UDFism. As Desmon Tutu said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor”. Now, many people don’t know how to use their privilege to help the movement, so I am going to provide a few ways to ¿JKW IRU FKDQJH 1. Educate yourself. A lot of people who are silent about this issue just aren’t educated about the severity of systemic racism. A great documentary about the history of racism towards black people is 13th, ZKLFK LV DYDLODEOH RQ 1HWÀL[ Another good documentary is Whose Streets, which is available on many platforms. There are many other ways to educate yourself, so learn and spread awareness! 2.If you see something, say something. If you see racism, use your privilege to speak out DQG ¿JKW IRU UDFLDO HTXDOLW\
3.Donate! There are many organizations out there that need donations to create change. A few good organizations to donate to are Black Lives Matter, NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and Black Visions Collective. Even a small donation helps. Besides those three things, there are many other ways to help the movement as a white or POC including protesting and supporting black owned businesses. We wouldn’t have to say “Black Lives Matter”, if everyone really did believe all lives matter.

ello loyal Beaverton readers! Once again, a big thank you to everyone who have called or written in. This month’s question was about the supply of new vehicles at local dealerships. With all manufacturers being closed for 3 months, the question has been on my mind as well so I did some research and made a few phone calls and here is ZKDW , ZDV DEOH WR ¿QG RXW 0\ ¿UVW FRQYHUVDWLRQ ZDV with the general manager of one very well know Beaverton dealership. In our conversation, the GM said point blank, “We’re going to run out of vehicles. So, to say [a particular vehicle] may not be here tomorrow is a reality... we just can’t go out WRPRUURZ DQG ¿QG DQRWKHU RQH as quickly as we could, let’s say two months ago.” This makes sense. Car and truck factories were on hold and not being built for over 3 months but while sales have been slow, people could still buy cars online and many did and this has depleted inventory at many dealerships around the city. So much so that even slow-moving vehicles like sedans are selling out and with no new inventory coming in, the challenge for dealerships continue. In fact, some of the inbound vehicles that do come LQ ZLOO EH JRLQJ WR ¿OO VSHFLDO RUGHU YHKLFOHV ¿UVW 7KHUH LV QR doubt in my mind that it will remain this way for months. When the country shut down for a few months, so did the big three auto manufactures of General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. But around the same time, they began offering ]HUR SHUFHQW ¿QDQFLQJ IRU XS to 84 months plus payment deferrals for up to 120 days and it’s worked well, almost too well. A GM of one local dealership told me that their inventory is getting thin saying, “Explorers edge’s Super Duty’s.

Aesthetics are important and a customer is less likely to stop if the lot looks empty. “The Silverado Pickup is our big market,” this GM continues. “We got the light-duty half-tons. We normally have a hundred on the ground... we’re down to 14 or 13, I think, as of Saturday. We’ll probably run out of pickups literally within a couple weeks here.” And once this happens, customers who order a new vehicle from the factory will be waiting a while. “A year ago, we were saying we could probably have your vehicle in six to eight weeks. Now it might be three WR ¿YH PRQWKV :H GRQ¶W UHally know. A lot of unknowns right now.” “So, Ford opened their plant up last week and they basically told us that they’re ¿OOLQJ VROG RUGHUV DQG SUHYLRXV RUGHUV ¿UVW 6R DQ\WKLQJ we order now probably won’t
show up until closer to August, at the earliest. Even getting parts into our parts department is a challenge because some truckers aren’t driving. Some trucking companies don’t wanna truck so that’s changed our world as well,” He adds that it’s also getting harder to do dealer trades (a practice of being able to trade with another dealership for the exact car you need for a customer) because the two sides can’t agree thanks to the limited selection one side may have. Bottom line is if you are looking to purchase a new vehicle, get to your dealer soon and even then, be prepared to settle for car that is not your ¿UVW FKRLFH LQ FRORU PRGHO or add-ons.

Barred Owl at Tualatin Hills Nature Park By Bill Kirkland
Bill Kirkland: My hike at the Tualatin Hills Nature Park was full of wildlife encounters. First, I saw a blue heron at the edge of the big pond. A few minutes later I spotted 2 deer along the banks of the Beaverton Creek. Just when I thought my hike couldn’t be any nicer, 2 barred owls swooped down to land in adjacent trees just feet away. I felt so fortunate to see these beautiful owls up close for over 15 minutes during this peaceful and solitary encounter.

Portland Ashwagandha Farm: Jeff Johnson (farmer and founder of Portland Ashwagandha Farm) began studying chemistry and Ayurvedic medicine in his youth and was destined to become an herbalist and farmer of plant medicine. He started Rising Stone Farm in 2012; a biodynamic medicinal herb company which grew, processed and sold tinctures and raw medicinal pants at Portland’s farmer’s markets and co-ops. Over time, Jeff noticed that the need for Ashwagandha was increasing as many he encountered expressed feeling run down and nervously exhausted. This new insight propelled Jeff to focus primarily on perfecting the cultivation and processing of the Ashwagandha plant with the belief that it is the best medicine for all the modern ailments we face. In 2015, Portland Ashwagandha Farm launched providLQJ WKH ¿UVW ELRG\QDPLFDOO\ grown, freshly harvested, and spagyrically processed Ashwagandha tincture product on the market.

Now Madhubani is being explored and enjoyed by many. Acrylic paints and watercolors make the designs vibrant and longer lasting.

Celebrating 10 Years! 10 years ago, the BRG started out as a humble 16 page community newspaper (see cover from 10 years ago left) dedicated to informing readers about all the wonderful things that makes Beaverton a great place to live, work and play. Many thanks to Cory Burden of Cedar House Media without whom this publication would not be possible. We would also like to thank our many partners, sponsors, advertisers, writers and, of course you, our loyal readers! We look forward to another 10 years of service!
