MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

am a transplant. My reasons for moving to Portland with my wife three years ago may sound familiar to some of us: we wanted to live in a place where we can appreciate the beauty that is the natural world RI WKH 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW 7KH Portland area has year-round greenery, waterfalls, wildlife, ÀRZHUV WKDW VHHP WR EORRP non-stop, mild winters, and of course plenty of precipitation to keep things looking IUHVK DQG OXVK 2Q WKH ÀLSVLGH I grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, and even though I haven’t lived there since my childhood, I still remember the dark, brutally cold winter months that felt more like testing my resolve for survival than anything else. So yes, the winter months here in Portland are dark and wet‌really dark and wet. But with the transition of the seasons comes new opportunity for us to enjoy the natural beauty that is all around us once again! So, here are some things about getting outside we may have forgotten about during our winter hibernation: 1. Say hello to your neighbors. 5HPHPEHU WKHP" 7KH\ DUH still there! What a gift it is to have community! It’s okay to knock on a door just to say hello. 2. Go for a walk. Walking is so good for all of us.

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 ďŹ nd 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 Familyâ€? in 2018 by www.livibility.com). The goal of The BRG is simple and can be easily read at the top of each page: connecting people who live, work or shop in and around Beaverton with the abundant local resources available. So whether you’re shopping and want to try out a new store or a new store that wants to reach out to new customers, The BRG is equally useful and happy to help play the role of match-maker. We also know a lot about what’s going on in the county and for those who are looking to get “Out & Aboutâ€?, we have the county’s event calendar, an exclusive with the Beaverton Farmers market, an extensive regional theatre line up, a full list of library programs as well as other announcements to help you connect to whatever interests you. The BRG is available for pickup at over 170 locations from major grocery retailers, restaurants, doctor ofďŹ ces and banks to city hall, hotels, regional libraries and the farmers market.

Her age and remarkable condition say a lot about the quality of care she’s received over the years.� Inji’s actual date of birth is

unknown. She was born in the wild around 1960, came to the United States through the wild animal trade (legal at the time) and was brought to the zoo by

her owner in 1961. She was estimated to be around a year old when she arrived at the zoo Jan. 30, 1961. Âł:HÂśUH WKDQNIXO WKDW ZHÂśYH

very year, we buy one more of this and one more of that, but where does it go? Has it been used or is just housed in a closet not seeing the light of day? Have you become guardian over your children’s youthful memories and adult possessions? You are not alone. Spring-cleaning is on everyone’s mind as we head into the season, this adds momentum to the desire of creating organization within the home. How to start? By removing unwanted items.

My quest to see the northern lights But study up before you go

TEEN ESSAY

A

bout a year ago, my family took a trip to Alaska in hopes to see the infamous aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights. But we didn’t do enough planning and ended up not being able to see them, which has recently made me motivated to learn more.

For those of you who don’t know much about them, the northern/southern lights are a bunch of lights that appear in the night sky YDU\LQJ LQ FRORU 7KH\ DUH caused by collisions between certain gases (oxygen and

nitrogen) and electrically charged particles released from the sun. In my opinion, the aurora borealis is one of the most incredible phenomenons on this earth. 7KH FDWFK WKRXJK LV WKDW these lights are only present

in some areas of the world during certain seasons. Since the aurora happens near the magnetic poles, getting as close as possible to them will be the best chance at seeing them. Fairbanks Alaska and Iceland are two

really good places to travel to if you are trying to see them. %XW WKH PDJQL¿FHQW OLJKWV DUH also sometimes present in the United States as well. Another important thing to know is that since the lights only appear in dark, clear skies, the best time to go hunting for them is in late August to early April, when the weather’s clear and there are long nights. Getting away from as much light pollution DV SRVVLEOH ZLOO DOVR VLJQL¿cantly increase your chances of spotting them, though I NQRZ WKDW FDQ EH GLI¿FXOW with the increase of fossil fuels in our air. If you’re ever traveling during the winter, make sure

to look up where the aurora borealis is and keep these tips in mind! (p.s. make sure to dress really warm!) I can’t wait until I can get another chance to see them in person.

f you run in any parenting corner of the internet (and maybe even if you don’t), you probably heard about the ad for Frida Mom that was rejected from running during the Oscars. It depicts the authentic struggles of a new mom physically recovering from a recent birth. Many people were upset that the non-graphic ad wasn’t allowed to run. It depicted WKH WUXWK 7KH NLQG RI UHDOLW\ that is seldom discussed at all, let alone in general public discourse. In this video, we watch a tired new mom waking during the night to a crying baby.

vulnerable, newly postpartum stage. In speaking with other mothers, in addition to my own experience, it seems that the medical establishment (and society at large) prepare and support us during pregnancy, up to the moment of birth. But frequently, the focus then shifts to the baby. We’re left with little information about what to expect from our new

bodies, making recovery that PXFK PRUH GLI¿FXOW While I could undoubtedly step atop my soapbox and proclaim the need to normalize more of the realities of motherhood, that’s a topic for another day. However, I would like to highlight some of the fantastic resources for postpartum moms around Beaverton.

• Lactation Consultants Breastfeeding is way harder than most of us thought it would be before we had kids. From getting a proper latch, to supply issues, and everything in between, a good lactation consultant will guide you through both the physical (and the often-overlooked mental)

Beaverton woman is on a mission to bring smiles and warm feet to children in need. Andie Proskus, 27, has muscular dystrophy and has been in the hospital due to surgeries and therapy for much of her life. During that time, she says she was given a pair of bright socks that brought a smile to her face and knew she had to pass along that feeling to others. So, she organizes socks drives for local children’s hospitals, sometimes from her own hospital bed. She recently organized an event at Beaverton High School during halftime of a basketball game, where people tossed socks onto the basketball court. With the help of her friends and area schools, Proskus has been collecting socks for hospitalized children. She says their reaction makes all the hard work worth it. ³, FDQ UHODWH D ORW WR ZKDW the families and the kids are going through, and it not only brings a smile to their face, and helps brighten their day up for a little bit, but it’s also very therapeutic for me, and warms my heart to see the smiles something as simple as a pair of colorful, fun pair of socks can bring,� Proskus said. Proskus has been doing these sock drives for about six years. She collected

She has received donations of socks from as far away as Australia.

planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farmhouse, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a cordon bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide the alibi. It’s foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Well.... suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose Robert and Jacqueline are secret lovers, and consequently determined that Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook. Suppose everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s. An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.
