uring the month of May, the possibility that your phone will give you a 10-day forecast of sunshine grows greater as the days get longer. If you’re like me, when the sun starts breaking through the clouds a bit more, it means a new season is around the corner. As we anticipate the coming Spring, our eyes are opened to the ways we need to prepare for the changing season. By simply looking outside, you may have already thought through your preparations to fertilize the grass, plant the garden, register the kids for swimPLQJ DQG RI FRXUVH ¿UH XS WKDW EDUEHFXH IRU WKH ¿UVW WLPH LQ HLJKW months! There is joy in eagerly anticipating the newness around the corner, and it requires action on our part.
Fittingly, as we anticipate the new season and take action, it’s a JRRG WLPH WR UHĂ€HFW XSRQ RXU RZQ lives, and ask of ourselves “what action(s) can I take that can both have a positive impact upon myself and usher in a newness towards others around me?â€? Maybe for you that means: 1. Giving a word of encouragement to that neighbor, coworker or friend who’s hurting. 2. Volunteering for a community organization you care about. 3. Being more present with your family. 4. Practicing forgiveness We each are capable of having a profound impact upon our community and others around us. Our positive actions can spark something new both within us and around us. As a new season looms around the corner, let’s look forward with anticipation and take action. It makes all the difference!
Chris Canton is the Lead Pastor at Beaverton Church of the Nazarene. For more information about our Church visit us online: www.beavertonnaz.org.
#3( )JTUPSZ The Beaverton Resource Guide (BRG) is a free monthly community paper written, edited and published in Beaverton, by Beaverton residents and for the businesses and people of Beaverton, Oregon, USA. Cedar House Media published the ďŹ rst edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That ďŹ rst issue was 16 pages. Today, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by a diverse cross section of public and private community organizations.
#3( (PBMT Beaverton has so many positive attributes and many go unnoticed. The BRG is our way of giving back to the community by highlighting what makes our city a great place to live, work and shop. With a focus on small, local businesses, we’d like to encourage our neighbors to ďŹ rst patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores outside our community. #3( "EWFSUJTJOH With our unique layout, colorful design and exclusive community content, our readers are beyond loyal as reected by our 80%+ readership rate each month since early 2013. Not only do they want to know what’s happening in Beaverton each month, but they also agree with our philosophy staying local. As a business in the Beaverton area, your ad will be seen by those who are most willing to go out of their way to keep their dollars close to home. These shoppers, your potential new customers, also happen to be our best readers! In addition, we don’t print large quantities and mail them out to uninterested parties. Our papers are located in convenient and high trafďŹ c locations ready to be picked up by those who shop local. With low rates, targeted distribution and a willingness to provide more value than what you pay for, you’ll ďŹ nd that we’re just as interested in introducing your business to the community as you are!

any people travel so they can see new places, meet new people, and experience new cultures. Going to different countries makes us more open-minded too and allows us to gain new perspectives on life that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have before. I am so thankful to have recently had the opportunity to travel to Iceland and France. It ZDV P\ ÂżUVW WLPH OHDYLQJ 1RUWK America! Iceland I knew Iceland was known for its pristine natural beauty and for me, being environmentally conscious, I was excited to go here ÂżUVW My favorite part was seeing Icelandic horses on the side of the road as we were driving. We saw a bunch of different groups, and stopped twice to pet them. IcelanGLF KRUVHV ZHUH ÂżUVW EURXJKW WR Iceland on Viking ships, and since $' WKH LPSRUWDWLRQ RI KRUVHV has been banned by Iceland. This means that every horse you see in this country is pure Icelandic. Something else that stood out to me about Iceland is that in some places, hot tap water really does smell like rotten eggs. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice it that much until I took a shower there! This occurs because a lot of the hot water there comes from hot springs. I really loved Iceland, and although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very windy, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very beautiful! I really enjoyed France too! Almost every building in Paris is so ornate! Whenever I go on
vacation, one of my favorite parts is always the rides with Uber drivers. This was also the case in France. It was hilarious watching my mom try to speak French with them, and at one point she accidentally said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Je tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;aimeâ&#x20AC;?, which means I love you, when she was trying to say she loved something she had just bought.

ost of us have experienced the touch, look, and feel of a newborn of the human kind. The complete lack of ability for a newborn Homo Sapiens is hard to fathom in the survival of our species. The utter reliance of the new baby on their caregivers is remarkable and is the start of a lifetime relationship with the person they will know as Mom. We all know people who are â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? by birth, adoption, circumstance, or choice. The bond between a new baby in the formative years and their Mother is a thing of legends. How do we come WR NQRZ RXU 0RP" $W ÂżUVW RXU needs are very simple: a warm, full belly, empty nappy, snuggles, kisses, and just the bare necessities like sleep. It is amazing how we love to watch a baby sleep, thinking of little else, as they start to grow. So what makes a Mom? Being there for each amazing milestones like walking or talking is part of it, but there is VR PXFK PRUH 1HZERUQ KXPDQV are amazingly unready for life. A newborn Gazelle can walk in a few hours and run in a day, but it takes a human many months of coaching, coaxing, bribing, to accomplish even just standing, let alone walking! So why the big deal about moms? Because of the amazingly patient, tender and love nurturing moms seem to have in endless supply, moms never tire of helping their child back up, of wiping that disgustingly runny nose, and to listen to the silliest story for the 247th time. And then there are the diapers. Anyone near a full diaper must know there is a special throne in heaven for mothers who can perform a miracle and clean up a baby to snuggle-able-ness again in just a few minutes!
The question is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do Moms do it?â&#x20AC;? Is it odd is that in a crowded playground, a mom always knows when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her baby thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crying? Is it from the countless hours of care and commitment that causes this reason for each of us to feel for ourselves as to why moms are so special to each of us. What do Moms see when they look at their baby for hours? Is it the possibilities of that little life? What will change for them? What is their potential? Mothers are special to us for the unlimited possibilities they can see in us and the unlimited belief they have in us to be anything we can dream. Thanks mom!

As you can imagine, Rotifer was quite a sight to anyone who caught a glimpse, especially since Carol would remove an earring and for balance, Rotifer would hold on to her earlobe. In social situations, Rotifer was the star of the show. You may be wondering why the artist who painted Rotifer, Walter Calkins, put a strawberry in the picture. The truth was, Calkins didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even like rats, but for Carol, he would do anything. Surprisingly, strawberries, in those days, the V ZHUH D UDUH DQG JRXUPHW WUHDW DQG ZHUH ERXJKW IRU FHQWV each at Jergensenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Rotifer, white fur with pink accents, looked glam going after a strawberry. Thirteen years is a long time for a rat to live. Toward the end of his life, Carol frequently took Rotifer to the veterinarian who gave him extra respiratory support. But, as nature intended, the last day ÂżQDOO\ FDPH After living in San Marino, California, Carol and her husband, Bill, moved to Montana where Carol was a professional designer and natural foods store owner. After forty years in Montana, Carol moved to Edgewood Downs in Beaverton, Oregon, to be near her daughter. The memory of Rotifer remains dear to her, for theirs was a relationship of the heart, Rotifer knowing Carol saved his life, and Carol enjoying a warm, furry companionship. Rotiferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picture hangs by the entry of Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room and another painting of Rotifer hangs perhaps dangerously close to an original painting of Shadow, one of Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prized Weimaraner dogs.

This was not because Rotifer was a research rat. He had been bought by the manufacturer of the copper enamel ash trays for Columbia Pictures, AnneMarie Davidson. She owned a pet boa constrictor and white rats were its only food. A minute prior, Rotifer was a baby white rat destined to be food for the boa constrictor. That day, by his great good fortune, Rotifer was not palatable to the boa constrictor, and AnneMarie was in the process of getting rid of him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;STOP! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that!â&#x20AC;? Carol exclaimed with all her compassionate heart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give him to me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take him.

e talked last month about navigating a multiple offer scenario for buyers, now Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sharing some tips for sellers. Multiple offers may seem like a sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream, but without preparation, it can create an entirely new set of obstacles. 1. Figure out what is important to you. Offers can vary by more than just price, their terms can be just as important. Do you need to close quickly? Will you need rent back? Or is price all that matters? Staying focused on your priorities will ease the stress of making the right decision. 2. Cap the number of offers you consider. Every offer you receive represents a real family and it takes both time and energy to put one together. If \RX KDYH RIIHUV WKH\ W\SLFDOO\ ZRQÂśW YDU\ VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ in price or terms.

the situation and add unnecessary stress. 3. Create a process for reviewing offers. Emotions can run high when multiple offers on the table. Start by considering only price and down payment, eliminate some offers based on that. Then, consider close date, closing cost requests and inspection details to eliminate others. Finally, read personal OHWWHUV WR PDNH D ÂżQDO GHFLVLRQ If you have a process like this to fall back on, receiving multiple offers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel so overwhelming and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more likely to make the right GHFLVLRQ ÂżQDQFLDOO\

his common saying is often used as a reminder that better things are to come. It also helps remind us that we often have to experience something we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to get a result that we do want. Instead of thinking of a challenge as a problem, you could focus on the opportunity to learn something new. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to minimize that something is challenging, but to remember that if you avoid everything that is hard youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eventually going to miss out on positive experiences too. You have probably noticed that ruminating on something that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out the way you wanted makes you feel bad about what happened, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help you move forward.

y husband, Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, heart attack started us on a whole food, plant based journey. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m grateful for the opportunity to make adjustments to our lifestyle before it was too late. The Heart Attack that launched a new life! ,W ZDV $SULO D VOXVK\ FROG VSULQJ in Colorado. To make a long story short, he had severely blocked arteries and doctors put in four stents to keep his arteries open. Then, he had terrible adverse reactions to the statin medication. The doctors said he would have to remain on statin medication for the rest of his life; but the medication made his body hurt all over! He was in agony. He was anxious, depressed, and scared. We recalled that Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father had had a heart attack; three weeks later had a second heart attack and died. What was he going to do? Late one night, he was online and found both The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D., and Reverse and Prevent Heart Disease just published by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn. Both books offered many recipes, practical information, and meal plans. Look for them online or at your local bookstore. Howard was a traditional eater. Every dinner had to be meat based. Ditto Lunch. He was always athletic and slim.
Eating only plants was a major shift! He told his doctor he would not take the medication and would only eat food that did not clog his arteries; that his food was going to be his medicine. Let food be your medicine Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s every three month blood tests became every 6 months, and then annually because his numbers were so good. His doctors today are amazed with his results! Why not take the risk of feeling fabulous? After almost 13 years, I cannot imagine doing anything different and look forward to many more years of fantastic plant based health!

Recommended Spring maintenance for your vehicle By Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Car Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Ferguson
Hello loyal Beaverton Readers, hank you so much to everyone who has reached out via email and telephone. I appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance for all of your vehicle and automotive needs and questions. I received a call from a retired gentleman who was curious as to what type of maintenance should be performed on his vehicle for spring. Here are some tips I always recommend after winter has departed. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving around town or across the country here are the typical things I have checked already on all of my personal vehicles.
T
Exterior Maintenance Wiper blades play an extremely important role in increasing visibility. Replace every six months or when cracked, cut, torn, streaking or chattering. Check the tires. A simple test to check tire tread depth is to insert a penny into the tread of the tire. If the top of Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head sticks out, your tires are starting
to show signs of wear and should be replaced. Also check the tire LQĂ&#x20AC;DWLRQ DQG LQVSHFW WKH WUHDG IRU uneven wear, which could indicate the need for a wheel alignment. Also look for bulges and bald spots. Give your car a good washing from top to bottom. Use a product VSHFLÂżFDOO\ PDGH IRU DXWRPRELOHV 1HYHU XVH GLVK ZDVKLQJ GHWHUJHQW DV LW OHDYHV D ÂżOP RQ WKH SDLQW Always clean the tires and wheels before washing the body, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the same mitt for both. ,I \RX ÂżQG PLQRU SDLQW GDPage, cover the paint chips as quickly as possible.

old hoses and clamps that appear to be in marginal condition may need to be replaced.
Under the Hood A good rule of thumb is that a change of season equals a change of oil. Changing your carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil and ÂżOWHU HYHU\ WKUHH PRQWKV RU PLOHV ZKLFKHYHU FRPHV ÂżUVW ZLOO ensure that your car operates at SHDN HIÂżFLHQF\ .HHS LQ PLQG WKDW dirty engine oil becomes diluted with fuel.

The antifreeze/coolant should be refreshed every two years. Check hoses and belts. A belt that fails can affect the electrical system, air conditioning and power steering, as well as the cooling system. Cooling system hoses may be deteriorating from within, so
Under the vehicle Spring is a good time to check the entire brake system, including brake linings, rotors and drums. Check the shocks or struts for signs of physical damage, such as leaking, rusting, or dents. Also be aware of the warning signs that you may need them replaced: vehicle rolls or sways on turns, front end dives when braking, rear end squats when accelerating, vehicle sits lower in the front or rear, a loss of directional control during sudden stops, and the vehicle
bounces or slides sideways on a winding and rough road. ,I \RX QRWLFH DQ\ Ă&#x20AC;XLG SXGGOHV or stains under your vehicle, it is a good idea to have it inspected. 7KHUH DUH VHYHUDO Ă&#x20AC;XLGV WKDW FDQ leak from the vehicle including antifreeze/coolant, battery acid, EUDNH Ă&#x20AC;XLG FOHDU ZDWHU GLHVHO fuel, engine oil, gasoline, gear oil, SRZHU VWHHULQJ Ă&#x20AC;XLG WUDQVPLVVLRQ Ă&#x20AC;XLG DQG ZLQGVKLHOG ZDVKHU Ă&#x20AC;XLG Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialty is locating cars, even hard to ďŹ nd cars, for everyday folk.

Unfortunately, this is also the time of year that we typically see an increase in dog bites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most which would have been entirely preventable by the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner. Dog bite prevention typically focuses on the potential victim and teaching them to read body language or avoid certain circumstances.

ANSWER: Studies show that ANY level evel of alcohol in your blood impairs your our ability to drive to some degree. e. Medical authorities say that all peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;regardless of experience or a so-called tolerance to alcoholâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; are impaired as drivers by alcohol. Alcohol gives some drivers a false sense of conďŹ dence in their ability.
Q:
Is it legal to change lanes in the middle of an intersection?
ANSWER: There is no direct Oregon Revised Statue that says you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change lanes in an intersection. However, ORS 811.375 Unlawful or unsignaled change of lane states you violate this statue if the change of lane cannot be made with reasonable safety. So depending on the circumstances you could end up with a ticket for changing lanes in an intersection. I would not recommended doing it. (EDITORS NOTE: This is an updated answered from a previous issue)
Q:
Does â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under the inďŹ&#x201A;uenceâ&#x20AC;? pertain only to alcohol?

Belly Fat: Is that harmful to your health? By Aloha Curves/Jenny Craig
I
tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the subject of many magazine articles on how to blast it away, but what is â&#x20AC;&#x153;belly fatâ&#x20AC;? and why is having too much of it bad for you? Find out why holding extra weight in your mid-section can be detrimental to your health, and some simple ways you can reduce it. What is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Belly Fatâ&#x20AC;? and How Does It Impact Your Health? While the term â&#x20AC;&#x153;fatâ&#x20AC;? can seem to have a negative connotation, fat cells are an essential part of life. Your body needs fat to sustain its normal activities and stores two different kinds of fat. Subcutaneous fat is stored right beneath the skin and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered dangerous to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. However, the other type of fat, called visceral fat, and sometimes referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x153;belly fat,â&#x20AC;? is stored in your abdominal area and surrounds your organs, like the pancreas, kidneys and liver. Unlike subcutaneous fat, which you can pinch, visceral fat lies deep within the body. You need some of it to protect your organs, but too much of it can be dangerous by putting pressure on your organs. Visceral fat also secretes
chemicals called cortisol and cytokines. Cytokines can lead to LQĂ&#x20AC;DPPDWLRQ ZKLFK FDQ OHDG WR heart disease, fatty liver, arthritis, hypertension and cognitive decline. Cortisol, otherwise known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stress hormone,â&#x20AC;? increases visceral fat and insulin resistance, ZKLFK PDNHV LW PRUH GLIÂżFXOW WR lose weight and may lead to diabetes over time. Because we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose where our body stores extra pounds (wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that be nice!), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to notice where you may be prone to holding extra weight and if it does happen to be LQ \RXU PLG VHFWLRQ ÂżQGLQJ VDIH and healthy ways to reduce it. Luckily, there are simple steps you can incorporate into your daily routine to help reduce visceral fat. Here are six ideas that you can easily try: 1. Consume more calories when your metabolism is working its hardest. The body is primed to digest DQG SURFHVV IRRG PRUH HIÂżFLHQWO\ during the day, but not as well at night. As a result, our bodies metabolize at a higher rate in the morning and afternoon, and
well as decreased risk for dementia. Jenny Craigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest program, Rapid Results, was based on this innovative science and includes a 12-hour â&#x20AC;&#x153;rejuvenationâ&#x20AC;? period to allow your metabolism to burn the most calories. slower at nighttime. Try to balance your days so that you are consuming a higher amount of calories in the morning and afternoon and fewer calories in the evening. 2. Allow your body to rest. Studies have shown that the body burns fat, especially visceral or â&#x20AC;&#x153;bellyâ&#x20AC;? fat, when you abstain from eating for at least 12 hours.4 %\ ÂżQLVKLQJ XS \RXU ODVW PHDO of the day at a decent hour and getting a full nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest, you let your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cells take a break from digestion and repair from all of their hard work during the day. By following your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural circadian rhythm and eating when your metabolism is revved, followed by taking that 12-hour â&#x20AC;&#x153;restâ&#x20AC;? from eating, you FDQ UHDS KHDOWK EHQHÂżWV EH\RQG just weight loss, such as better mood, improved immune function, preservation of muscle mass, as
3. Get enough sleep. Consistently getting enough sleep produces many health benHÂżWV LQFOXGLQJ LPSURYHG ZHLJKW loss, less fat storage and better hunger and craving control. Try aiming for 7-9 hours per night. 4. Cut back on added sugar. When you consume sugar, your body transforms it into glucose, which helps fuel your activities. When there is an excess amount of sugar consumed, the body turns the glucose into fat that can potentially be stored in your midsection. While everything in moderation is always a great guideline, make sure to keep your portions in check and avoid adding additional sugars to your food or beverages. 5. Pay attention to portion sizes. Consider your portion sizes at each meal and snack. Reducing
the number of calories youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re digesting at every meal, even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just by a small amount, can add up quickly and aid in weight loss and an overall reduction in fat. 6.

Make May more about mom By Dr. Bryen Bell
Sunshine, ďŹ&#x201A;owers, and the end of school! ay is an exciting time full of sunshine and adventures. This month also brings a day dedicated to showing our love and appreciation for all of the moms in our lives. Often, Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is the perfect opportunity to treat our moms to something special; but is one day of special treatment enough to recharge our moms and give them the encouraging â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;boostâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; they really need? Unfortunately, the change of the seasons has the capability to introduce more stressors to moms. This month, we want to encourage everyone to ensure that Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
M
Day is not the only extra TLC she receives. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encourage our moms to take the time to regularly focus on their health. Stress is an unavoidable part of everyday life but it does not have to be detrimental to our health. To the mothers of Beaverton, we want to remind you that taking care of your health and overall well-being is one of the best methods for minimizing anxiety and reducing the effects of everyday stressors. It is time to stop believing that an â&#x20AC;&#x153;outside-inâ&#x20AC;? approach to health works. A healthy, stress-free life is best achieved from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;insideout.â&#x20AC;? It is achieved by regularly investing time in our health and minding our bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s functional care.

Out & About | W hat’s Happeni ng A round B eaverton This Month? THE STORY:
Goodbye gray skies, hello blue! Happy days are here again with Richie, Potsie, Ralph Malph and the unforgettable “king of cool” Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli. Based on the television series, Happy Days, A New Musical reintroduces one of America’s best loved families, the Cunninghams -- yes, Howard, Marion and Joanie are here too -- to a whole new generation of kids and parents. The famed drive-in malt shop and number one hangout, Arnold’s, is in danger of demolition. So the gang teams up to save it with a dance contest and a TVworthy wrestling match. Even Pinky Tuscadero, Fonzie’s childhood sweetheart, returns to help and -- lo and behold! -- they rekindle their old flame.
THE STORY: Wanda Petronski just wants to join the fun of having friends like everyone else. But in 1930’s small town America, a Polish immigrant doesn’t easily fit in. When Maddie’s best friend Peggy starts to teas Wanda, Maddie knows t isn’t right. When the teasing doesn’t stop and the Petronskis move to get away from the town’s prejudices, Maddie is wracked with guilt. She soon realizes that allowing her friend to be a bully is just as bad as acting that way herself. Determined not to let her fear get the best of her again, Maddie braves the scorn of her classmates and stands up to them, making an unlikely friend in the process. Catalyst - The Newsletter
Enjoy your daily struggle By Spencer Rubin
This month, I am rebooting a past CATALYST, that I feel is appropriate for the times. I work with a lot of people. Young Kids, Teens, Adults...and one thing I see a lot of in today’s world...is...IMPATIENCE! In the fast moving, technological/instant gratification world we live in...people (young & old) I see people unsustainably expect success to happen quickly than it generally does. Sometimes, it takes weeks/months/years to see desired success. But often now, we see more instances of: “If I/ We are not successful NOW, I/We quit...or I/We move on”! In the sports world, I am a HUGE San Francisco 49er Football Fan. That was easy many years ago!! Over the last 15 or so years however, there has been more failure than success. But...Win or lose, I love this team...and I don’t complain! I am excited about this season, because they are going into the 2nd year of a new coach and general manager that I believe in...and I love some of the additions in personnel they have made! I am already seeing other fans,
and some sports media asking: “Will the 49ers compete for a NFC West Championship this season?” My answer to that, is: IT’S TOO EARLY! While I expect more success than in seasons past, I also expect more struggle. They will be better, but they are not there yet. It will take 1-2 more seasons of growth, learning, smart moves, etc...! I am excited to see the changes, to watch the new and young players. But I am also excited to watch the mistakes, the learning, the adapting...and thus...the growth and success that will follow. Bottom line is, I am enjoying the struggle! And you, as a business owner or manager should too! Struggle is not bad. Struggle is how you build. Struggle is how you learn. Struggle is where you get seasoned to accept the bad with the good. I’m not talking about your feet stuck in mud struggle. I am talking about the hard work, the patience, persistence, vision, repetition, willingness to learn, eyes on the future type of struggle. Back to sports. MANY fans these days expect instant success. When they don’t get it, they scream, whine, complain, some

even cry. Failure is not losing. Losing games is not losing hope. Losing, while not enjoyable or desired, is a building block. Accepting reality and every day human happenstances is supposed to be how you embrace and ENJOY life. Generally speaking, it is unreasonable and unsustainable to win every time. Some are lucky enough to experience tons of consistent success, but they are the rare ones. Enjoy your daily struggle. Enjoy the struggle of building, maintaining, rebuilding and growing. It’s fun! It builds character, talent, skills...and memories. Struggle is a building block for your foundation. Avoid the mud, but embrace the struggle. Struggle more! Build...Grow... Learn...Adapt...AND ENJOY EVERY ASPECT OF THE PROCESS WILL YA?? Spencer Rubin is a sales/marketing expert who has spent 25 years in the industry.

Lu Over the Wall A family-friendly take on the classic fairy tale about a little mermaid who comes ashore to join a middle-school rock band and propel them to fame. Kai is talented but adrift, spending his

ISing Choir, under the direction of Stephen GalvĂĄn, presents Misa Andina, a celebration of traditional Andean music compiled by the Chilean folk ensemble Altiplano and Norwegian producer and lyricist Erik Hillestad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Misa Andinaâ&#x20AC;? is sung in Spanish, Latin, Norwegian and English and accompanied by zampoĂąas (panpipes), charango (Andean lute), cuatro (4-stringed guitar), guitar, and percussion.

becca Rønshaugen GalvĂĄn on guitar. These concerts will beneďŹ t Bridging Voices, a chorus for gay, straight and questioning youth that strives to be a safe, accessible place to experience empowerment and unity through music. For youth who struggle with identity, family acceptance, bullying at school and other challenges facing sexual minorities, the chorus provides a community they closely identify with, and a family of like-minded allies who accept and respect them. The chorus hopes to build bridges and break down the foundations of homophobia and transphobia through visibility and diversity.

Suddenly, she collapsed on the floor, spilling her Frappuccino all over the spotless tile. Her friend screamed as the manager hurried over to discover an undeniably dead girl on his doorstep. Meanwhile, the faux-barista took off his apron, and waltzed out the back door. All in a day’s work.
They chatted for three minutes while the blender worked its magic. Then the barista added the whip with a chocolate drizzle finish. Perfection. “Oh, no,” the girl said as she dug through her bag. “I must have left my wallet in my backpack. I’m so sorry. I guess I’ll have to cancel the frap.” She stared longingly at the mocha-flavored masterpiece.
