Did someone say social distancing? We didn’t get the memo...

This photo was taken by Yoshiko Wong at the Paca Paradise Ranch (11785 SW River Rd, Hillsboro). This ranch is only about 3 miles down Scholls Ferry Rd from Progress Ridge and has a free parking lot from where you can view and take pictures like this one.

Getting Back to “Normalâ€?? “So‌ when are we getting back to normal?â€?

OUR TOWN BEAVERTON, OREGON, USA

LEARNING CORNER: UPLIFTING MESSAGE

his question seems to be on the top of people’s minds these days. And the response may depend on who you ask. Some people say that we’ll all be back to normal living in a couple of weeks. Others say that we will never be back to normal. My guess is that the majority of people understand that the answer lies somewhere in between these two extreme responses. Yes, there will come a day when this virus will be better controlled by the wonders of medicine, much like so many other previous viruses in our world. But how do people simply go back to business as usual after experiencing such a life-altering experience as a global pandemic? So, my pastoral message for you this month is more in the form of a question: what is “normalâ€? anyways? Our yearning to go back to the good old days is completely natural, understandable, and human. In fact, we’re not alone. Adam DQG (YH KDG WR ÂżJXUH WKLQJV RXW after being kicked out of the Garden of Eden. Noah and his family found themselves in an DUN DQG QR ÂżUP SODQV IRU ZKDW happened next. Moses and the

Israelites argued‌and argued‌ and argued about whether it was better to go back to Egypt, or keep on moving forward in an unfamiliar wilderness. The Apostles didn’t know quite what to do following the ascension of Jesus leading up to Pentecost. For people of faith, the idea of “normalâ€? has always been a Ă€HHWLQJ QRWLRQ 3HUKDSV RQH OHVson from our scriptures is that God prepares us for anything but normal living. We as a people have suffered plagues, natural disasters, wars, and economic recession (just to name a few), and we have not only survived, but we have become stronger through it. Friends, whether you want to call it “getting back to normalâ€? or not, we are moving forward. In a strange way, perhaps it is helpful to think that we were actually made for such a time as this, and God has plans for us to prosper and thrive not only in the days to come, but with each and every day that we experience.

WORK! That’s What’s Next! A lot of it!

BUSINESS ADVICE

A

lot of work...creativity...listening... learning...and getting FUNKY! We have a long road ahead of us. From recovery...to growth...to new paths that we never expected to take. Who would have thought? The last 12 weeks have, frankly, been experiencHV IURP VRPH VFL ¿ ÀLFN Pandemic, tragedy, quarantines, businesses closed FOR MONTHS! ,œYH EHHQ WKURXJK YDU\LQJ VL]HV RI recessions...the last one being quite epic, and one of the worst in our country’s history. But never in my wildest imagination did any of this even come close

to the concept of reality. YOWZA! To all business owners...managers... and employees...here are some things I can promise you. HERE’S WHAT’S NEXT: • Work! A lot of it! • Hard Work: For the rest of 2020... you have to work harder than you ever have. That’s it! That’s the hand that has been dealt us. For most of us, we don’t get to play with yesterday’s game plan! Average work, and average workers performing average to below average work will be worth less, and less valued than ever before. And, they will have more negative impact on your business than ever before. • Being creative: In what you offer, in your service, how customers can access your business, services you offer, pricing...and more. • Being Nimble! Never used to deliver? Never used to hold these hours? Never used to offer X, Y & Z on line? Be nimble and ready for quick changes, new services and doing things you did not have to do during safer times

and better economies. • Be engaging! Proactively and religiously engage and stay in contact with your employees and customers. People are tired, stressed out, worried...and every time they check social media or turn on the news, they are bombarded by stories and articles carrying negative, anxiety-packed messages. • Be a cheer leader! Be Positive! Your people need that and need you! A friend of mine who owns many local food franchises is hyper-focused on making sure the “vibeâ€? in his restaurants are upbeat, interesting, welcoming places for customers to do business. • Speaking of “vibeâ€?, you always had to be focused on this. But, it was easy for many to forget to pay much attention to it because the economy was good, there was no pandemic and business JHQHUDOO\ VSHDNLQJ ZDV Ă€\LQJ 1RZ KRZHYHU \RX KDYH WR KDYH DQ DPD]ing, positive, fun energy surrounding your business. On line, over the phone, and most certainly on site! Be a cheer leader for your people!

• Make sure you have a solid dedication to learning, listening and changing! Read, watch, ask, listen. Connect with business peers, share experiences and ideas. Remember, 100% of many ideas you observe, or that are shared with you may not work for you...BUT, 10% of each idea, or 25-50% of an idea could. Be open to slices of ideas, as much as you might be open to complete concepts and options. Out of fear, safety, convenience and pricing...customers are doing more business on line. If you have a strong on line presence, good for you! Keep it going. If you don’t, you should. But more importantly, due to this heavier reliance on on-line offerings and services...it makes everything you do on site, in your brick and mortar all the more important. Every customer that picks up the phone and calls you...every customer that walks into your business...is more valuable than ever! Smile...Engage... Welcome Them...Serve Them...Thank Them! Sounds basic right? I know, it does. BUT, people are tired and stressed out...and it’s easy to forget, or even have

a bad day and either fail to do this, or even have a bad moment and lash out! Here’s one last thing that’s next: This is a prime opportunity for you to step up as a leader! Engagement, leadership, and the opportunity to make a difference is here and ready for you! Don’t miss out! Show up! Will this be easy? Heck No! But it certainly is not impossible! YOU GOT THIS!!!

s we enter Phase One of the reopening plan, we want you to know that downtown Beaverton is taking precautions to ensure that this community is as safe as possible for you. Throughout the month of June, you may see more restaurants adding outdoor seating, businesses conducting operations on sidewalks, and people enjoying the open air. When you go into a business, you’ll see workers wearing personal protective equipment, cleaning shelves and counters, and creating a safe place for you. If you are uncomfortable spending much time downtown, you can still support downtown businesses by using curbside pickup or

If you’d like to support the downtown community, you can make reusable masks, sponsor a keg at a taphouse, or sponsor outdoor seating so that we can get more of that. Keep an eye on the BDA website and the downtown business social media pages to stay updated. And as always, stay healthy!

Q:

What should I do if my tire blows out while driving??

Warm Church with an Open Heart Located in downtown Beaverton at 4th & Watson. Worship with us at 1030am, Sunday School at noon. Visit www.beavertonumc.org or call 503-646-7107 MAP1C4

Murray Hills Christian Church

ANSWER: If a front tire blows, there e may be a strong pull toward the side with the blowout. A rear blowout causes the back of the vehicle to weave or sway. Grip the steering wheel firmly and steer straight down the center of your lane. Do not over steer. Slow down. Then brake smoothly. Move slowly to the shoulder and limp along until you find a safe place to stop and change the tire.

Great Cats for Great Homes www.catscradlerescue.com 503-320-6079

Q:

At a red light, if I stop just over the white crosswalk line, is that okay if I’m not obstructing pedestrians? ANSWER: Drivers must not block the crosswalk when stopped at a red light. You cannot stop with a portion of your vehicle overhanging the crosswalk area. Blocking a crosswalk forces pedestrians to go around your vehicle, and puts them in a dangerous situation.

Q:

How should a car horn be properly used?

ANSWER: People cannot see you unless they are looking your way. Your horn can get their attention. Use it when it will help prevent a collision, not to display temper or irritation. If there is no immediate danger, a light tap on the horn should be all you need. If there is real danger, do not be afraid to sound a sharp blast on your horn.

ANSWER: ROAD RAGE is deliberate, violent behavior in response to a real or perceived traffic event. The Federal Government ranks “Road Rage” as a top safety issue, up with alcohol related driving and seat belts. Factors in road rage incidents are aggressive driving, displaced anger (from work or home), life stress events, and time pressures not related to driving.

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.

What are the current child booster seat laws?

“Squirrely Hello” by Ken Malucelli I just took this through the window of my music studio. It's one of the squirrels that lives in the trees in the backyard. Here it's sitting on the fence being statue still while I capture him through the blinds. It's so cute. I love taking nature photography here in Beaverton. I never got that chance while living elsewhere--big city life, etc., so am revelling in all the beautiful flowers and trees in my southwest neighborhood, as well as the cute critters living in the trees right in my new backyard. This little guy and its

family members love nibbling on all sorts of vegetation and often will be skittering along fencetops. On this particular day, one was sitting right outside my music studio window, staring through the blinds. Guess he liked my piano playing... so I'll call it José, in honor of the great pianist of my childhood, José Iturbi.

We are following the recommendations of the National Animal Care & Control Association, the American Veterinary Medical Association and other

ince so many of us are tucked away in our houses right now and the shelves at our local stores are dwindling, let’s take a look around the kitchen and see what sort of medicine we have that might be of use. Of course, this is not to replace a visit to the doctor for more serious issues or anything that seems to linger. Honey: raw is best. Don’t use on babies under one year old. A spoonful a day (teaspoon) of local raw honey can help alleviate seasonal allergies. It is also a great antiseptic. Spread some across an infected ZRXQG DQG FRYHU ZLWK JDX]H (It’s sticky!)

I’ve also read that super glue will work, but I’ve been NQRZQ WR JOXH P\ ¿QJHUV WR things with super glue, so I’m partial to duct tape. Raw garlic is great for infections.

Cool the bag slightly and place over a boil to draw it to a head. You

Parsley is a good diuretic. Chop it and add it to food. Or juice it. Ginger works for nausea. Roots do best gently boiled for 10 minutes, leaves like thyme are best steeped. Chamomile and fennel both work for gas pains and are safe for small children. These are the main ingredients of grippe water. Rice water, under ripe bananas, apples and darkened toast make up the BRAT diet which helps diarrhea.

Before I go, I need to mention the importance of water. Internally for almost everything. I’ve seen it cure a headache in my kids within 10 minutes. Add a pinch of sea salt if you are feeling dehydrated. Externally, cold for acute swellings, warm with Epsom salts for chronic aches and pains.

BEAVERTON MOM

The social distancing approach to making the most of celebrations We Can Still Celebrate! PARENTING ESSAY WœV SUREDEO\ QRW D QHZVÀDVK at this point. Things are still VERY different than they were this time last year. Even as businesses begin to gradually reopen, it’s unlikely that GATHERINGS will be back to normal any time soon. And that’s hard. Most of the time when we get together with family and friends it’s to celebrate some of the best parts of life. Graduations, birthdays, marriages, retirements, anniversaries, baby showers. Who wouldn’t want to get together and celebrate these joyful occasions?

I

But if we’re still trying to practice social distancing, how can we celebrate these important occasions? Personally, I didn’t think it would be such a big deal that we had to defer my kids’ birthday parties this year. But you know, after months of missing gymnastic classes, and nights out with the family, and others’ birthdays, it felt like one more thing they would miss out on if we didn’t do a little something special. Feel free to amend based RQ \RXU VSHFL¿F RFFDVLRQ but here are some ideas

for celebrating special events when you’re still in quarantine: Let the Whole Neighborhood Know When my mom turned 40, I let everyone in the neighborhood know because I TP’d the house and had signs in the yard encouraging drivers to honk their horns. My grandfather and I actually skipped RXW RI FKXUFK WR ¿QLVK WKH MRE secretly before my mom got home! While I wouldn’t suggested wasting that valuable, and sometimes hard to locate toilet paper, the general idea remains the same. Hooray Yard Signs Beaverton (www. hoorayyardcards.com/beaverton) delivers, puts together, and deconstructs elaborate yard signs for all kinds of occasions. If balloons are more your thing, check out Balloons by Twisted Sisters (www.facebook.com/ Balloons-by-Twisted-Sis-

ters-450233845804541) based out of Salem (with many Beaverton moms saying they are well worth the extra distance). Or, you could go the old-fashioned way, and make the signs and decorations yourself. Make the Cake Together For my kids’ birthday last year, I made a six-layer rainbow cake that took HOURS. While I will never do that again, it was kind of nice to provide a special birthday cake like my grandmother used to do for me when I was growing up. For this year, I think I’ll have the kids help with their cakes. If nothing else, it will eat up a couple of hours that aren’t spent on a screen. I’m going for something simple, maybe two layers of funfetti cake (a mix can easily be VWRUH ERXJKW RU \RX FDQ ¿QG a straightforward recipe on Pinterest). Once the cake has cooled, the kids will be in

charge of decorations. This will likely result in a sight to behold with an ungodly amount of frosting, sprinkles, marshmallows, and any RWKHU FDQG\ WKH\ FDQ ÂżQG to use as “decorationâ€?. But hey, we’re making memories here, not competing on British Bake Off! Alternatively, you could JR IRU JROG DQG ÂżQG D PRUH complicated cake design online and try to replicate it. Even if you don’t know what you’re doing (I don’t) and it ends up looking a mess (it probably will), a funny #nailedit cake could make for a birthday to remember. Parade of Friends You’ve probably seen a video or two online of friends, family, or teachers in their cars rolling by a special someone’s house. This is becoming more and more common because it’s the closest thing we have to our celebrating together. Also, little kids love it. 6HW D VSHFLÂżF WLPH UDQJH and let everyone know ahead of time. It doesn’t have to be DOO WKDW RUJDQL]HG EXW LW ZLOO let the honored person know what time to be outside in order to give a wave back. Decorate Their Car to Let Everyone Else Know This was a common occurrence during graduation season in my hometown.

Seniors would have their cars decorated by their families with special car-safe paint. It was also pretty common with marriage celebrations (think the quintessential “Just Married� car in any movie or TV show). As long as the decorations won’t damage the car, or cause any blind spots when a person is driving, I say go for it! Stay In, Order Out, and “Party� Online Since dining in at their favorite restaurant is still tricky at best, make the most of it at home. Order pick-up or delivery from their usual spot. Then, get together online for a virtual meetup. The current popular option is Zoom, but Facebook has recently released “Rooms�, and Google has upgraded “Meet� too.

Online Age Cafe, a unique collaboration between Viva Village (vivavillage.clubexpress.com), the Beaverton City Library, and Washington County’s Disability, Aging, and Veterans Services continues through June on Fridays, from 11 to noon. Online Age Cafe gives participants the opportunity to take part (via ZOOM) in small, facilitated, breakout group discussions to explore particular issues, feelings, and concerns around aging. While anyone can participate, Online Age Cafe can have particular value for seniors/older adults currently separated from friends, their adult children, and grandchildren. Age Cafe was originally intended to take place at the Beaverton City Library, using the very successful model of World Cafe, a way for engaging people in conversations that matter. Participants, who may or may not know each other, sit together at tables in a simulated cafe setting, complete with food and beverage, and converse about issues of particular interest/importance with the guidance of trained facilitators. Online Age Cafe enables participants to converse safely, while remaining in the comfort of their own homes. The discussion topic for May was Helping Each OtherThrough the Coronavirus Crisis. The topic for the ďŹ rst session in June is Exploring Issues for Seniors as we Negotiate Living Through a Pandemic.

BEAVERTON CAR GUY

I bought a used car and want to make sure it doesn’t have COVID Basic detailing can rid your car of dirt, bugs & more AUTOMOTIVE Q&A

W

e have received a number of requests on how to properly clean up a vehicle during the COVID19 pandemic. For example, let’s say you bought a used car, maybe you are borrowing a car or perhaps you loaned out your car and now you want to make sure it comes back without anything that can make you sick. These are all good reasons to do a thorough COVID cleaning. First off, here are some of the tools you’ll need: • Vacuum cleaner • Bucket of soapy, warm water • 0LFUR¿EHU FORWKV H[FHOOHQW for water absorption and picking up dirt) • Clean rags • Soft-bristled brush (to prevent the scratching of soft surfaces) • Cotton balls or soft-bristled toothbrush (for hard to reach and delicate surfaces) • Disposable gloves • Goggles and face mask You should wear clothes that can be immediately

laundered afterward, and, if possible, a mask and goggles to protect your face from exposure to any cleaning solutions as well as from touching your face while you clean. You can easily make a face mask if none are readily available. Fabric or Cloth Upholstery: This material has increased susceptibility to staining from spills, greasy food, and body oils. To clean, gently spray cleaner directly onto the upholstery. Allow the cleaning product to soak into the fabric before blotting it with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, lightly scrub them with a soft-bristled brush and repeat as many times as necessary. If possible, leave the windows open to allow for quicker drying.

Using a high-quality fabric protectant can make future cleanings much easier and more effective because it creates a barrier against the damage of food spills and other mishaps, especially if children are routine riders. Vinyl Upholstery Vinyl upholstery is a sturdy material, requires little maintenance, and can be easily cleansed with most all-purpose upholstery cleaners. To clean, add a small amount of cleaner to a clean, damp cloth and wipe down the upholstery. For additional stain removal, use a soft-bristled brush. Reapply if necessary.

has a clear, synthetic covering added. This type of leather treatment is used in nearly all modern cars today, no matter the price, make, or model. When it comes to care, coated leather is identical to that of vinyl. Uncoated leather does not have a synthetic coating and is common among older vehicles, though a few modern luxury vehicles also use uncoatHG OHDWKHU 7R ¿QG RXW ZKLFK type of leather interior your vehicle has, apply a drop of water on the leather and leave it there for 20-30 seconds. If a spot remains once you remove the droplet, the upholstery is uncoated leather. In this case, it is essential to get the right cleaner that is leather safe. To clean, add a small amount of leather solution to a clean, damp rag. In a circular, overlapping motion, gently rub the cleaner into the leather. Wipe excess cleaner off with a clean, dry cloth.

How to Keep Your Car Clean as COVID-19 Continues It’s up to all of us to slow the disruptive and deadly spread of this virus. Some additional tips for keeping your car clean: • Wash your hands • Travel less, stay home • Social distance Final thoughts Cleaning and disinfecting your car is an extra preventative measure you can take to help protect against COVID-19.

n an effort to help the various RUJDQL]DWLRQV SURYLGLQJ meals and operating food pantries, the City of Beaverton opened a food donation center in partnership with Village Church in May. The purpose of the center was to help keep up with increasing demand at a time when food supplies declined. “Beaverton is here to help and community members deserve to get the relief they desperately need,” said Mayor Denny Doyle. “We want to ensure food for families and our most vulnerable residents remains constant and available during this global pandemic.” “We know that pantries and food banks are experiencing a drastic reduction in donations from their typical sources as

a result of COVID-19,” said Mike Mumaw, City of Beaverton Emergency Manager. “This is an opportunity for the community to come together DQG VXSSRUW RUJDQL]DWLRQV WKDW in turn will serve so many.” The City of Beaverton Regional Food Donation Center served as a central site for area food donations and was located at Village Church in Beaverton. The center supplied food

Washington County applies for phase 1 reopening With a Monday, June 1st goal PUBLIC SAFETY

W

ashington County has applied to the state for reopening, with a goal of entering Phase I on Monday, June 1. Phase I includes limited reopening of restaurants and bars, personal services, gyms and malls. Gatherings of up to 25 people are allowed for recreational, social, cultural, civic or faith events as long as physical distancing requirements are met. “As we await the state’s decision about our application, we need everyone in our community to understand that our success under Phase 1 reopening will be of our own making,� said Board of Commissioners Chair Kathryn Harrington. “Each of us will need to be responsible for following the public health guidelines necessary to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus. We all need to do our part so our community moves safely into our less restricted future, not backward into our more restricted past.� Washington County’s application outlines the seven criteria set by Governor Kate Brown for a county to be eligible for Phase I. 1. Declining prevalence of COVID-19: We have met this criterion. On May 21, Oregon

Health Authority indicated Washington County did not meet the prerequisite for reopening because of a positive trend in COVID-19 hospital admissions. However, in the past 14 days, Washington County has had COVID-19 KRVSLWDOL]DWLRQ FRXQWV RI WZR or fewer per day. The method OHA uses to determine the trend for hospital admissions requires at least 20 hospitalL]DWLRQV D GD\ DQG WKHUHIRUH LV not appropriate to apply to our data. Washington County has clearly met the intent of this metric. Washington County data on positive tests, case FRXQWV DQG KRVSLWDOL]DWLRQV can be found at http://arcg. is/0Si5re. 2. Minimum testing regimen: We have met this criterion. 3. Contact tracing system:

Washington County has a plan to have 42 new surge staff hired and trained by June 1. This will allow us to meet the state’s requirement to reach 95 percent of close contacts within 24 hours as we enter Phase I. After June 1, the county will continue to hire additional staff to meet the state’s requirement of having 15 contact tracers per 100,000 people. This will include 90 staff doing the work of contact tracing, and another 30-40 people supporting this work. At least 30% of the new staff will be bilingual/ bicultural. 4. Isolation/quarantine facilities: We have met this criterion. The county has a contract with a hotel that is already housing people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and those who are unhoused,

symptomatic and are awaiting test results. The county is also exploring other options, including hotel vouchers and potential contracts for other housing options near migrant farm camps. 5. )LQDOL]HG VWDWHZLGH VHFWRU guidelines: The Oregon Health Authority has met this state requirement. 6. 6XIÂżFLHQW KHDOWK FDUH FDSDFity: Medical providers in the six-county health region have met this criterion. 7. 6XIÂżFLHQW SHUVRQDO SURWHFWLYH equipment (PPE) supply: We have met this criterion as a county and our six-county region has also met this criterion. “We understand that people are anxious to return to some sense of normal life,â€? said Health and Human Services Director Marni Kuyl. “If we are approved for Phase I on June 1, we urge our community to take a cautious approach. We can all do our part to prevent a resurgence of disease VSUHDG DQG KRVSLWDOL]DWLRQV E\ staying home if we are sick, practicing physical distancing, washing our hands often, and wearing cloth face coverings.â€? New investigative guidelines from OHA require asking positive cases and their entire households to quarantine at home for 14 days, even when family members are not sick. This quarantine could go on for much longer if more than

one household member becomes ill. Some of the county’s new workforce will provide support and resources to these families who are unable to meet their essential needs, such as getting groceries. “We know that many families and businesses are struggling and need to get back to work,â€? said Kuyl. “But the public health risk that comes with reopening is real. We are going to be asking the pubOLF WR FRQWLQXH WR PDNH VDFULÂżFHV for many weeks and months to come.â€? “I want to thank our county public health and emergency coordination staff for the outstanding work they have done under trying circumstances to get us to this point,â€? said Harrington. “There is no question in my mind that their efforts have saved lives and are positioning us to take this next step successfully.â€?

Washington County’s application will be posted on their website at https://www.co.washington.or.us/ HHS/CommunicableDiseases/COVID-19/reopening.cfm.

Our skincare ethos is simple: a minimal routine is often all you need, anti-aging propaganda is a marketing tool, and natural oils like Argan, vitamin E, and jojoba trump any chemical-laden, paraben and fragrance-rich goop often peddled as skincare. Essance currently offers two lines of skincare products: one for oily or mature skin, and another for dry or sensitive skin.
