BRG History: 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 first edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That first issue was 16 pages. Today, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by a diverse cross section of public and private community organizations.

BRG Goals: 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 first patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores outside our community. BRG Advertising: With our unique layout, colorful design and exclusive community content, our readers are beyond loyal as reflected 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 traffic 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 find that we’re just as interested in introducing your business to the community as you are!

These shrubs grow mostly in the coast range from Sierra Nevada north to British Columbia and as far east as the rocky mountain range. The Oceanspray shrub is one of two varieties of Holodiscus species found in the Pacific Northwest. This is a very low maintenance shrub which is drought tolerant and they are great for holding the soil on hillsides

Beaverton Bird Watch
Ravens vs Raptors
I
By Anne Harris
looked out the window today to gauge the weather on one of my last mornings in Beaverton, when two starlings (sturnus vulgaris) on the roof next door caught my attention. Starlings rarely perch. They stand around like people do and this pair appeared to be having a conversation, looking around, heads cocked in thought. They were soon joined by another starling, then another. I know what they were doing. It took a male flicker (colaptes auratus) weeks to chisel a hole in the siding of that house two years ago, leaving chucked tufts of brightly colored insulation below, heaped like sweepings from a punk rock barbershop to make room for a proper bed of wood chips between the walls of the structure. His hours were long, but his tenure was short. Within days, Mr. and Mrs. Flicker were displaced by starlings, known to fight the drudges of the bird world unto death, rather than excavate on their own time. The hole in the siding was repaired a few days ago. It’s impossible to tell it was ever there now.
By Oregon Zoo Staff
alifornia condors, western pond turtles, Columbia Basin pygmy rabbits and other species native to the Pacific Northwest got some much-needed help recently as the Oregon Zoo Foundation awarded $25,000 among six regional conservation efforts through its Future for Wildlife grant program. “The Pacific Northwest Future for Wildlife program works locally to protect threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems that we all share,” said Dr. Nadja Wielebnowski, the zoo’s conservation and research manager. Grants were awarded to the following organizations: • Pacific University: $4,503 for a project informing habitat restoration efforts for the Oregon silverspot butterfly. • University of Idaho: $4,935 to support genetic monitoring of the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit. • Oregon State University: $4,462 to identify pollen sources for bumblebees in Eastern Oregon’s Blue Mountains. • Yurok Tribe: $4,100 to survey western pond turtles on the Lower Klamath River system and establish a baseline population. • Nez Perce Tribe: $2,500 to
assess areas in the Hells Canyon ecosystem for potential condor nesting sites. • Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife: $4,500 to support northern leopard frog egg-mass surveys and translocation. “Generous gifts from our members and supporters help the Oregon Zoo advance its significant wildlife conservation and education programs locally and globally,” said Julie Fitzgerald, executive director of the Oregon Zoo Foundation. “The Future For Wildlife grants also receive support from the zoo’s
historic Quarters for Conservation program, which directs a portion of each admission ticket toward helping Northwest species.”
To learn more about the Future for Wildlife program and how to apply for grants, contact nadja.wielebnowski@ oregonzoo.org or david.shepherdson@ oregonzoo.org.

KPTV FOX Channel 12 A flicker defending its nest from a starling attack.
The starlings on the parapet were wondering where it went. I’m retiring to the Great Lakes region in a few weeks. You could call it a senior migration of the human kind. Sadly, this is my last inning at the Beaverton Resource Guide, but I like the final score: Flickers 1, Starlings 0. Anne Harris is a local author who finds watching her avian neighbors quite fascinating as they loudly inhabit a mixed stand of conifers and broadleaf trees behind her home. “Provide food and they will come,” is what she discovered, and has been avidly studying their diverse habits ever since.

oney magazine has picked Beaverton as one of the best places to live in the U.S. The annual rankings for 2017 featured Beaverton at number 12. The rankings are based on places with populations between 10,000 and 100,000. After different factors were taken into account, there were 2,400 qualifying locations. Those places were then ranked on a variety of components, with the greatest weight put on economic health, cost of living and public school performance. Factors like crime, ease of living and amenities were also considered. Money magazine wrote, “don’t think of Beaverton as just another cookie-cutter suburb.” “The city of 97,000 has its own personality, thanks to a

thriving restaurant scene, one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the area, and big local employers like Nike and IBM,” according to the magazine. The city released a statement about being on the list, noting it being particularly rewarding to have Beaverton’s restaurant scene and ethnically diverse population receive recognition. “I am honored to see Beaverton continually receive national recognition as one of the best
American cities,” said Mayor Denny Doyle. “We are friendly, active, and diverse, and our values resonate with people. We strive to understand what our community wants and work hard every day to make sure our efforts are aligned with our community vision. This type of attention raises our civic pride and helps draw more attention and investment to our wonderful city.” Bend and Cedar Mill were also on the top 100 list, coming in at 44 and 94, respectively. Fishers, Indiana was picked as the best place to live in the country.

We’re constantly looking for ways to make your energy more reliable, affordable and clean. That’s why we’re excited about joining the western Energy Imbalance Market this fall. The EIM is an automated system that pools electricity generation to help balance supply and demand across the West. For example, on a really cold winter day when Oregonians are cranking up the heat, California may have extra solar power to add to the grid. When we need a little extra, the EIM automatically searches the whole system to find us the lowest-cost, most clean electricity available to power your day.

veryone knows the feeling. Your muscles tighten up, each breath is shorter than the last, and your blood starts to boil. Task after task, list after list, it feels like you don’t even know what to do or where in the world to start. Stress and anxiety are nearly unavoidable in this day and age. A recent study discovered nearly 90% of all primary care doctor visits are related to stress related complaints. Stress rears its ugly head in ways both seen and unseen; noticeably, we can feel how our decision making process is compromised, how our emotional stability wavers, and often a creeping panic arises within. But the scary stuff happens below the surface: higher blood pressure, increased risk of heart disease, and other cardiovascular complications. The BEST way to combat stress is to live proactively. This can be done in several ways: regular exercise, a balanced diet, massage therapy, and chiropractic treatment. Every method carries unique benefits for the body, which demands us to incorporate each aspect into client programming. Nevertheless, we center our treatment around chiropractic care.

Caregiver Support in Oregon (Part 1)
M
By Lou Weisberg
ore than 20 million people in the United States are providing unpaid assistance to older adults with care needs (excluding those living in nursing homes). Nearly a quarter of caregivers are now millennials, and about one third of caregivers have a full-time job. Additionally, the overwhelming majority of care for older relatives is still provided by women
who must balance caregiving with demands from their job and raising their own families. More than ever, adults are living well into their golden years and require continuous help with activities of daily living (ADL’s). ADL’s are routine activities that everyone needs to do daily such as dressing, bathing, managing medications, etc.

There is a cost for those providing sustained help. Sixty percent of those caring for older family members report having to reduce the number of hours they work, take a leave of absence or make other career changes. According to the National Family Caregiver Support Program, caregivers also have high rates of being late to work and having to leave early, both of which puts these employees at risk of losing their jobs. Other risk factors are having limited financial resources and income, or have limited or no access to paid leave. They may lose income, benefits and career opportunities if they have to cut back on work hours or leave the workforce. They may also incur substantial out-of-pocket expenses that undermine their

It’s been well documented that compared to non-caregivers, family caregivers of older adults are more likely to experience emotional distress, depression, anxiety, social isolation and impaired physical well-being.

Important Elements to an Active Life ging is a concept we are all familiar with, more than simply growing old it is the inevitable changes that seem to challenge us the most as we move ahead in life. One of the most important elements is ensuring that we continue to live the active independent lives that have always defined us. To enjoy time with friends and family, actively pursuing hobbies, while still being a part of the community at large. Historically seniors have faced the challenge of choosing a life of independence with long-term comfort and security. Often asked to give up the active lifestyle that has continued to define them at every point in their lives. Today we live in a different world. Independent living communities offer the kind of highly independent, social, and welcoming life that active seniors not only want but also deserve. The ability to continue to live life to the fullest while avoiding the hassles of home. Holiday Retirement and their communities have come together to offer seniors the sort of active environment that encourage personal growth with the luxury amenities that make life worth living. From chef prepared meals to private luxury apartments. Holiday Retirement’s communities in the Beaverton area, including Edgewood

id you know that 80%-90% of all caregiving is provided by non-paid family members? United Homecare Services honors all those individuals who help their disabled friends, parents and neighbors with activities of daily living. Here are ways you care “Around the Clock”, this year’s theme designated by the Caregiver Action Network: • Mornings: The average family caregiver works outside the home. You make sure your loved one has what they need for the day before getting yourself out the door for work. • All day long: About 70% of the time family caregivers manage the medications.
• Late at night: You need to rest and recharge. Realize that taking time for yourself is vital to caring for others in the long run. • Middle of the night: You are prepared to respond to an emergency. Chances are you’ve provided care to others throughout your lifespan. We find most caregiving professionals (people who get paid for services) do what they do because they helped a friend or family member, and found the experience tremendously rewarding. This month, United Homecare Services is sending a big shout out to all family caregivers. Thank you for doing what you do! Our world is better because of you!
• During the workday: juggling caregiving and work is no small feat; and, you take time off from work when your loved one is in need. • Evening: You ensure that everyone gets proper nutrition. Nutrition helps maintain strength, energy, stamina and a positive attitude.

25 Habits That Happy Women Practice Part 2: Habits 7-15 By Aloha Curves/Jenny Craig
C
urves is celebrating its 25th Birthday and the strong women who make it such a great
community. In honor of the occasion, we’re sharing 25 habits that happy women practice. Last month we gave you six and for November, here are 9 more.
Challenge yourself to practice these habits: 1. Wake up early - See the sunrise, eat a healthy breakfast, and have a simple start to the day. 2. Put on a happy face - Smile at strangers. Smile at yourself in
the mirror. You’ll make others feel good and make yourself feel great while showing off those pearly whites. 3. Save money - Set aside money from each paycheck to build a nest egg for new experiences and create lasting, happy memories to savor. 4. Give thanks - Have an attitude of gratitude wherever you go. 5. Eat wholesome food - Feeling depressed? Ditch the junk food for a nutritious and
well-rounded diet, which can help your body and your mind. 6. 12. Listen to your body - Pay attention to when your body is telling you to slow down or get some rest. 7. Stay hydrated - Drink more water to help relieve fatigue and improve your mood. 8. Sleep a full 7-8 hours - Getting a good night’s sleep is key to warding off irritability, stress and ensuring better
performance the next day. 9. Dance - Crank up the tunes and dance, baby, dance (and burn a few extra calories, too).
Come back next month for more useful habits. For more information, visit Curves | Jenny Craig on TV Hwy. Questions about nutrition or fitness? We cover both fitness & weightloss now in one place! Visit us at 20229 SW TV Hwy, Aloha, 503-356-5454

The Beaverton-based district is one of just four in Oregon. “This is a signicant milestone,” said Jerry Jones Jr., president of the THPRD Board of Directors. “The 151 standards that accreditation requires are all indicators that THPRD is an agency that is acting strategically and responsibly on behalf of Beaverton-area residents.” To earn accreditation, THPRD submitted a self-review in April,
preparing and documenting its compliance with the CAPRA standards. In June, three CAPRA representatives completed a thorough peer review of THPRD’s application materials. “It’s a wonderful way to show residents that we’re acting with their best interests in mind,” said Doug Menke, THPRD general manager. “We are responsibly going about our long-term planning, developing new programs, protecting natural resources and expanding opportunities for indoor and outdoor recreation.” CAPRA, sponsored by the National Recreation and Park Association, denes its standards as “an effective and credible means of evaluating a park and recreation agency’s overall system.” The accreditation process “assures policy makers, department staff, the general public and taxpayers that an accredited park and recreation

Important Car Maintenance Tips for Fall
H
By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson
ello Beaverton readers! Driving safely during the fall months requires more than just cautious driving behavior. Your car also needs some attention.
Here are 10 practical tips to help get your car ready for fall. Check the brakes and tires. Inclement weather require good stopping power. That means good brakes and tires. If the tires have wear bars showing, say the experts, you need to replace them. Tire pressure drops when the outside temperatures plummet so be sure to check that too. Check the lights. Walk around the outside of the car and check the operation of all lights: headlights, taillights, parking lights, brake lights and emergency flashers. Replace all broken bulbs and those that have stopped working and make sure all lights are clean. If you own an older vehicle with sealed-beam headlamps, consider upgrading to halogen lamps for improved visibility.
Replace worn wiper blades. The purpose of wiper blades is to completely clear the windshield. Cracked or worn blades won’t do an adequate job. Check the blade’s rubber to ensure it is flexible and operate the wipers to see that the blades clear the glass. Make sure heater/defroster work. Driving with an improperly working heater isn’t fun or safe. Driving with fogged-up windows is an accident waiting to happen. Check front and rear window defrosters to ensure proper working condition. Have the battery checked. A fully charged battery is necessary to start the car in cold weather. Have the battery and charging system inspected by a trained technician who can replace it if required.
If you see signs of corrosion on the battery terminals or cable ends or if you spot loose connections, your battery needs attention. Inspect under the hood. Looking under the hood will allow you to identify any obvious signs of wear or items that need replacing or fixing. Look for leaks, cracks or loose clamps in the cooling system and squeeze the hoses and replace any that are spongy-feeling or brittle. Inspect the underside of drive belts for fraying and replace as required. If you’ve noticed any engine noises, experienced sputtering or other engine problems, have a licensed mechanic thoroughly inspect the engine and make any necessary repairs. Change oil and air filter. Change the oil if the it’s dirty or if you’re due. Also check the air filter to ensure that it is clean enough to allow for proper operation. If you can’t see light through it when you hold it up to a 60-watt bulb, it’s time to replace the air filter. Refill cooling system. Experts
recommend checking the coolant level when the engine is cold. If the level is too low, add a 50/50 solution of water and coolant to allow proper antifreeze capability. It may be necessary to refill the cooling system. Check all fluid levels. This includes washer fluid, along with transmission, brake and power steering fluids. Make sure they are all at or above minimum safe levels and refill as necessary. Get a good car wash/detail. It may sound crazy but spiffing up your car will make it easier to
spot any potential problems. I sure hope this information is of help to all of us - a safe vehicle certainly gives us a better piece of mind when traveling for the holidays or during severe weather.

Disability Inclusion in the Workplace

Open Enrollment begins Nov. 1st
By Dirkse CC Team
n Thursday morning, October 19th, 2017, more than 100 business professionals spanning 14 industry sectors gathered at NIKE WHQ for Amplify! – an event centered around National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Participants were inspired by the keynote speaker, Dr. Richard Pimentel, a nationally renowned expert on disability management, job recruitment, job retention and Americans with Disabilities Act as Amended. Dr. Pimentel brought laughter and at times tears, while he facilitated a shift of focus from disability to ability and brought out the possibility that it is unconscious bias of hiring managers that limits the opportunity of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Amplify! is both an event and a business engagement program focused on bringing communities together to collaboratively improve the employment outcomes for this historically under-represented population of Oregonians in the workplace. Led by Dirkse Counseling & Consulting, Inc. and collaborating partners: The Beaverton Chamber of Commerce, Impact Beaverton/ The City of Beaverton, and Milt Wright and Associates who all set out to make a difference. The program was funded in part by a generous grant from Oregon
O Employment First and through numerous additional sponsors in the community who are passionate about turning up the volume on the importance of employment inclusion for this population!
A special thank you to our sponsors: Level 1 “Amplify!” sponsors: Nike – The Ability Team; Beaverton Round Executive Suites, Cedar House Media, Edward Enterprises, Left Brain Right Brain Marketing; Moomaw, Mesirow and Godfrey, LLP; One Click Studio; Portland Badge and Sign Company and Dirkse Counseling & Consulting, Inc. Level 2 “Empower” Sponsor: Dryer Vent Wizard. Level 3 “Affirm” Sponsors: Beaverton Florists and Unitus Community Credit Union. Level 4 “Encourage” Sponsors: ServePro of Tigard/Tualatin/Beaverton; The Barbers; Trazza Fine Lebanese Food.

Amplify Success! is not a onetime event; it is a program where participants are encouraged to take the Oregon Employment First Diversity Challenge where they receive complimentary business consultation and training to help their businesses/organizations to see ability and open up opportunities to collaborate with the community to improve employment outcomes within their workforce.

pen Enrollment ONLY comes once a year, November 1st through December 15th, 2017 for a plan effective date 01/01/2018. If you do not enroll in a QHP (qualified health plan) at this time you will not be able to enroll in an individual health plan in 2018, unless you have a “special enrollment period”, ie. loss of employer group coverage. If you currently have an individual or family health plan you probably have some questions and concerns. • What will the cost be in 2018? Can I change my plan? • How do I apply or renew my coverage through the Federal Marketplace? • Can I qualify for a Federal Tax Credit? • What is the best plan for me or my family’s needs? If these questions seem overwhelming to you, here is some information that might be of help. If you purchased your plan directly from a carrier, that carrier will be sending you renewal information. This information will be detailing any plan changes
and increase in costs. If there is a plan change, the carrier will provide you options on what plans are available to move to and the timelines to make that decision. Please be aware most carriers are changing their provider networks. If you want to make changes, you must make the change during Open Enrollment. If you purchased through the Federal Marketplace, regardless if you are receiving subsidy or not, you will be required to recertify, update your projected income for 2018, and re-enroll into a health plan for 2018 during Open Enrollment. Open Enrollment is here, don’t miss your opportunity to enroll or make changes!

TVF&R Firefighters Support Military Families and USO with Special Campaign
T
By Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue
his Veterans Day, you might see Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue firefighters and personnel around town wearing customized camouflage shirts. Our hope is that they will help raise awareness and support for the work of the United Services Organization, a nonprofit that assists troops through every step of their military service — from deployment to rehabilitation to reintegration. Tualatin Valley Firefighters Union Local 1660 partnered with TVF&R on this project as a way to honor those who have chosen to serve our nation — both at home and abroad — as members of the U.S. military. TVF&R personnel wore these special USO shirts on duty for the first time on September 11, and will wear them again on Veterans Day on November 11, Pearl Harbor Day on December 7,
TVF&R Firefighter Mark Ross, who retired from the U.S. Air Force after 34 years of service, spoke during a September 11, 2001, Remembrance Ceremony about his experience with the USO while being deployed in the Middle East as a pararescuer. He is wearing one of the camouflage shirts TVF&R personnel have the option to wear on duty on six patriotic holidays.
Memorial Day on May 28, D-Day on June 6 and Independence Day on July 4 of each year. Proceeds from the sale of these shirts that our crews purchased will benefit services provided to military personnel and their families by the USO’s Northwest Office at Portland International
Airport. For the September 11 launch of these shirts, more than $4,200 was raised for the USO. The fire service has long welcomed members of the military and veterans to our ranks. TVF&R is proud to have 81 members of our family who are military veterans and answered the call to serve the United States. These veterans share a heart to serve and desire to help where they are needed. Like our law enforcement partners and other first responders, they are willing to put themselves in harm’s way to save lives. Local 1660’s membership is comprised of representatives from all branches of the military. TVF&R has personnel actively serving on deployments, serving in reserve duty, and retired veterans.

November is a Month to be Cautious By Police Staff
QUIZ QUESTION: What famous statesman said “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning”? Answer at the end of this article. ovember is full of notable events, activities, and proclamations from an historical standpoint.

Don’t believe everything you read. In 1948 the Chicago Tribune newspaper ran this banner across their morning edition on November 3rd: “Dewey Defeats Truman”. As most of us are aware quite the opposite occurred. There were many red faces that morning not the least of which was the Tribunes managing editor. There are a handful of takeaways from this but from a police prospective – don’t believe everything you read in the paper or online. Countless people have been duped by desperados claiming to be war veterans needing money to Craigs List advertisers trying to sell you something that is stolen or luring you to a secluded area to rob you of the money you brought to purchase that something. There is nothing wrong, in this day and age, of being a little bit paranoid. If you have any misgivings, small www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
or large, don’t offer up the money. Even when you do, get ID, note license plate of seller, take picture of person you’re doing business with and don’t go alone. Shred Sensitive Documents November 14th is National Clean out your refrigerator day. Don’t stop there, make it a general clean-up day where you get rid of all those papers that you have collected that you don’t need but have identifying information on them that need to be disposed of carefully. Most reputable online sites don’t recommend keeping any sensitive documents past seven years. The vast majority of documents can be destroyed after three years. The key here is to securely shred them with your own crosscut machine or take them to a “safe” shredding event and let someone else do it. Always check with your tax person or financial advisor before getting rid of important papers. Veterans Day is November 11th, first observed as the day a ceasefire agreement was signed that led to the end of World War 1 in 1918. It continues to be the day we honor our current and past veterans for their service and sacrifice.
Beware of Scams Even though our veterans span the broad spectrum of ages, we seem to focus our time and attention on those veterans who have reached retirement age. If you have relatives, friends or neighbors who have reached those golden retirement years keep an eye and ear out for indications that they may be being scammed. The most common types of scams outside true identity theft are: Winning a prize but needing to pay some costs up front. Helping a person from another country deposit money in the U.S. in exchange for receiving a fee. Paying bail money for a relative who a stranger claims is in jail. Paying a delinquent phony tax bill to a person who calls you on the phone. QUIZ ANSWER: The author of the statement made in paragraph one was British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on November 10, 1942.

Traffic Q&A:
With the Beaverton Police Department
Q:
Is it lawful to make a right turn, after coming to a complete stop, from the left lane of a double right turn signal while you have a red arrow? A: The short answer is “Yes” you can make the turn. When I started driving several years ago, a red arrow meant you could not make that turn until the light went green. If you read ORS 811.260 Appropriate driver responses to traffic control devices section (8) Steady Red Arrow signal, it states: A driver facing a steady red arrow signal may not enter the intersection to make the movement indicated by the red arrow signal. The vehicle shall remained stopped until a green light is shown except when the driver is permitted to proceed under ORS 811.360. ORS 811.360 Vehicle turns permitted at stop light states you can make the right turn against the red arrow signal.
Q:
If I am caught throwing a cigarette butt out the window, is it against the law or just a warning? A: Do not throw any rubbish, trash, garbage, or refuse from a vehicle. Throwing away lighted or burning materials, such as cigarettes, is against the law. Conviction of these charges may result in a fine, jail sentence, and suspension of your driving privileges. It costs thousands of dollars to clean up litter each year. Cigarettes or other burning materials often times result in extensive damage to range and forest land. In addition, if you are caught and convicted of causing a fire through littering, you may be charged for the costs of putting out that fire. 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)
The Joy of Heated Salt Water Serenity
T
By Tamara Knowles
he joy of swimming in a heated salt-water pool.... The sensation of silky liquid movement running over your hands; pressing against a force that is at once both pliable and resistant as your feet drift above the pool floor. The sensation of being supported by a soft pillow of liquid as you breathe deeply in...and then out again. Warm water engulfing you with each step you take into the pool. The deeper you go the more your stressed, aching joints listen to the siren call of the heat and start to relax. Your heart rate slows; your breathing starts to come from deep in the belly. Your neck and shoulders relax, perhaps for the first time all day. You move, slowly. Your only focus: close your eyes, and just breath in and out. The rush of the cars and the verbosity of people float away as heat seeps through your muscles and gently tends to your worries. You forget about everything, and all your senses are coaxed into stillness. You lay back, extending your
arms and legs and they are encouraged to float in the deliciously delicate warmth. Someone may quietly pass you by, but you don’t care. This is your time; time for self-love and self-care. You do this to be a better version of yourself -and exit refreshed, ready for what comes next. The best part? As wonderful as it feels to enjoy the water, the lingering health benefits can include stress-relief, managing arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic pain, better heart health and overall muscle tone, and improved skin. We invite you to experience this for yourself here in Beaverton.

The History Behind Daylight Saving Time
Less Stress for the Holidays
T
By Lani Garcia (11th Grader)
wice a year, every year, we change our clocks. I already see that it’s been getting drastically darker earlier since the beginning of fall, and it’s going to continue to get darker. Because of Daylight Saving Time (that’s right, Saving is not actually plural!), we either “spring forward” or “fall back”, but why? My grandma, born in Germany, mentioned to me that it was because of the War. I wondered if she was right. I decided to do some research. It turns out, Germany was actually the first country to adopt the idea in 1916. My grandma was right! The idea to make the most of daylight hours was first brought up by Benjamin Franklin, despite the fact that Daylight Saving wasn’t officially passed in the United States Congress until much later. Before this, it occurred during World War I and II to make use of longer daylight hours, and to save energy needed for the Wars effort. Today, many countries near
the equator don’t participate in Daylight Saving Time due to the fact that for them daylight and nighttime hours don’t vary much throughout the year. There is a lot of controversy about whether the time changes are a good idea or not. Those in favor argue that it reduces automobile accidents because of the increased time of visibility. They also say it conserves energy, since people don’t have to use as many lights. Daylight Saving also increases tourism and sales. “The Telegraph” says that “in the 1980s, the golf industry estimated that one extra month of daylight savings could generate up to $400 million a year in extra sales and fees”. Critics say that it doesn’t really
save energy when you consider the fact that people use air-conditioning and fans more frequently during warmer evenings. They also claim that losing sleep in the spring is linked to an increased risk of heart attacks, so Daylight Saving can cause health risks. It seems to me that there isn’t a clear right answer. All I know is that I am looking forward to getting that one extra hour of sleep this fall and winter!

ith the holidays approaching there are many things to look forward to, but this can also be a busy time of year for many people. How can you focus on enjoying time with family and friends instead of feeling stressed? Enjoy the moment. Try to focus on the activity you are doing now, instead of worrying about the next thing you have to do. Remember the reason you are doing things. Enjoy your time with the people you care about, instead of worrying about hosting a “perfect” event. Choose where to put your energy. Not sure whether something is important or not? Consider what the alternative is. If I decide to buy a pie instead of making it from scratch, is anyone going to care? You get to choose which option is best for you.
Lani is a Junior at Beaverton High School. As a ZooTeen, she volunteers at the Oregon Zoo during the summer. She plays piano & guitar, and enjoyed doing dragon boats this past year.
Practice gratitude. Remember that Thanksgiving is about more
than just eating good food. Take some time to reflect on what you have to be grateful for in your life. Practice self-care. When we get busy we often forget to take care of ourselves. Try to get enough sleep, eat balanced meals, and find some time for exercise. When we take care of our physical health, we have more energy to do the things we want to do. Ask for help. Recognize when you start feeling overwhelmed. Talking to a friend can help. Need an outside perspective? Counseling can help you clarify your values and feel empowered by the choices you are making. Not sure if counseling is right for you? I offer free 30 minute consultations so we can discuss your goals and decide if we want to work together.

The Challenges and Rewards of Getting a PhD
A
By Maurice France (12th Grader)
s a senior at Health and Science School and am currently diving into the deep abyss in what is commonly known as college. I’m still learning about all the different components of college and looking into different schools and options of what seems to feel like a million different majors and types of degrees. For a student, especially one about to go to college, you hear a lot about what an associates, bachelors, and masters degree is. I don’t know a lot about PhD’s and the amount of work that goes into getting one. I wanted to get more information, so I went to the best person I know to ask: My writing teacher, Mrs. Wenger, who is currently getting her doctorate. She will soon complete the process of getting her PhD in December. I thought she would be the best person to interview because she is very honest and will not
sugar-coat any of processes, hard work, or rigorous steps it takes to become a PhD student. Mrs. Wenger was accepted into the School of Education at the University of Missouri. She is getting an interdisciplinary degree meaning that she is focusing on more than one subject. When you become a PhD student, you have to write a dissertation, a book or long essay on a specific study relating to the subject of your school. So, in Mrs. Wenger’s case, the school of education. Mrs. Wenger’s dissertation is on why teachers have their students read
to backup what I’m teaching in class. It also makes me set aside time in my life for certain things. Being a PhD student has made me a much better writer and thinker and has changed my goals. Academic writing is a strength for me and had helped me move into professional writing.” The most important takeaway was the advice for hopefully future PhD students. “Wait to have children. And don’t do it [get a PhD] to make more money, that’s not going to work. You need to be intrinsically motivated to do it. You need to have a lot of self-motivation. It's not easy, pace yourself! That’s the only way you’re going to get it done. It’s important to choose a thoughtful and diverse committee, diversity pertaining to what that professor is interested in. Choose people who are interested in what you're researching. I wanted to know if she would
certain books and why? All of this sounds like a lot of work. The next thing I wanted to know was how long it would take to complete the whole process of getting a PhD, start to finish. I found that a PhD can take up to 10 years. Mrs. Wenger has been working on hers for five years and is almost done, so they can take a shorter amount of time. It made me so curious to know what kept her going. How did she stay motivated to work on one project for so long? I found that a lot of what kept her going is self-motivation and internal drive. She also likes being a student and is good at it, which is something she repeated multiple times within this interview! Next I wanted to know if being a researcher has changed her as a teacher or as a person. Her Answer: “Absolutely! As a teacher and as a person. Now I have research
do it all over again. “Absolutely! I’m really good at being a student, I knew I wanted to go into higher education since high school. I thought getting a PhD would be a repeat of getting my masters, but it was completely different. As a PhD student you will learn how to publish works and how to be on committees. “Now that I’m done I can do professional writing. It’s high pressure, but pressure is motivating.” Talking to Mrs. Wenger about the challenges and rewards of getting a PhD has helped me realize that getting a PhD is all about motivation and how hard you’re willing to work to succeed. The possibility of going into higher education makes me excited about the next chapter in my life. Maurice France is currently a senior at Health and Science School. He plans on going to college to major in a business field. In his free time, Maurice interns at the Oregon Zoo as a Zooteen.

Adoption: Need a Friend, Got a Friend
Cats that Need New Homes Jenga and Uno – if you want
a pair of crazy-loving, outgoing and social friends to brighten your life then you came to the right place. Uno (black) and sister Jenga (tabby) are siblings born in May. Watching them play together makes your day start and end with a smile. They love lap time any time of the day and at night they are at your side sleeping. They groom each other, eat together and when you find one you usually find the other. They had a sad start in life, as a result they both have one eye that isn’t perfect. Lack of care as babies caused each to have cloudy parts in one eye. However, they run, chase lasers, play like dickens and don’t have a clue that things could have been different.

old male, an all-around lover. I purr around your legs, use a litter box faithfully and will be a great pet. My back-story is my first owner left me behind when the family moved; I had to fend for myself for a few months - that was no fun, let me tell you! I am now inside, healthy and happy living in foster care. I play with toys, sleep a lot and will welcome you home from your long day at the office. I am gentle, very social, neutered, and have all my vaccinations. Unknown if good with other cats or dogs. Would you like to visit me? I would love to meet you!.

Jenga & Uno must be adopted together by a lucky family who sees past small defects and wants to give them a loving forever home. They are good with children, dogs, other cats and friendly with everyone. They have perfect litter box manners. They have all their vaccinations and have been spayed and neutered. I hope you will give these two a chance to win your heart.

crochipped. Her owners moved abroad, and could not take her. She is in a foster home, and has adjusted very well. Shy at first, she loves to perch herself near her foster mom, and roll over on her back for tummy rubs. She is clean, and loves to be brushed. Her favorite toy is da bird, and she can chase it for hours. Ivy has learned to be comfortable being alone for extended periods, and curls up to wait for her foster mom’s return. Ivy would be best as an only pet, as that is her history. Great house manners. Friendly, but cautious at first with strangers. A wonderful fit for an adult or couple that wants a loving companion. Will you be the one to win her heart and give her a forever home?.
ADOPTION
Are you a destination business? In the picture above, the gent on the left is a Destination Trainer! A Destination Coach! Saturday, October 14 was Alex Rojas’ last day at the gym I belong to. For the last 2+ years, I have spent almost every Saturday and Monday with Alex. His Boot Camps were fun, energetic, challenging and positive places for me. Alex Rojas is headed off to a new challenge in his life. I call him a Destination Coach. He is the type of trainer people want to get out of bed for. Alex is the type of coach people join a club for. He is the guy you stay at a gym for. Alex has designed many hard and challenging boot camps.
They were classes you could come and better yourself physically and mentally. Sometimes you would show up at 6am just for a workshop...but then walk away, not only feeling great physically & mentally, but wanting to impact others’ lives. As you walked in or left the gym, you typically received a smile and high 5 from Alex. During his classes, when you felt like you reached your limit, or when you didn’t “bring it” that morning...Alex would be there with some words of encouragement to power through the boot camp. It was a mix of GET TO WORK... as well as NICE JOB... YOU GOT THIS! It was the perfect combination of presenting challenges, applying pressure, encouragement and helping his charges push themselves over the wall they thought was insurmountable.
spend time with. That group has come to be... because of Alex Rojas.
So, some questions I have for you are: 1. Are you a Destination Manager? 2. Are you someone others want to come work for? 3. Are you someone others want to stay for? 4. Is your business a destination business customers choose over others? If so, keep it up! If not, you may want to bring Coach Alex in to set the tone!
One side benefit to being a member of Alex’s boot camp clan... was just that... a clan. Alex attracted quality, hard working people, who wanted to better themselves. This has been a positive, enriching group of people to

But unlike in the musical Annie, where Sandy follows her home after she saves him from the dogcatcher, Nina Nakahashi and Sherman began their story in the Beaverton City Hall courtyard over a few bites of hot dog. Creating that heartwarming connection onstage and developing trust between Annie & Sandy would take more than a one time treat and play session. It would consist of convincing both of them that they belonged together (Read more about Annie on page 32, back cover). Shop Local – Give Local – Stay Local… this is how we build a better Beaverton.

BOOK REVIEW
“All it took was a few bites of hot dog from Nina, and Sherman was in love.” It’s a classic story of a girl and her dog. But unlike in the musical Annie, where Sandy follows her home after she saves him from the dogcatcher, Nina Nakahashi and Sherman began their story in the Beaverton City Hall courtyard over a few bites of hot dog. Creating that heartwarming connection onstage and developing trust between Annie & Sandy would take more than a one time treat and play session. It would consist of convincing both of them that they belonged together. To tell the story accurately, "We need the audience to believe that this is Annie and Sandy and that connection must be genuine. Sherman needs to trust Nina and listen to her just like any human acting partner," said director and Beaverton Civic Theatre Producing Artistic Director. So, she enlisted Annie stage manager, Annie Wach (affectionately called AW by the cast and crew to avoid confusion with the title character), who had a background working in veterinary hospitals and dog training to find the perfect Sandy and spearhead a plan for them to become comfortable with each other. Though a few dogs were considered, one quickly rose above the pack. “I participated in community theatre as a kid, so I followed BCT on Facebook when I moved to Beaverton, hoping to participate in a
show,” said Kylie Foster, owner of a large, cuddly, and hilarious golden-doodle. “Since everyone I know always told me Sherman looks like the perfect Sandy, I knew we had to audition when BCT announced the production!” Once Sandy was selected, the real work began. “She was nervous but interested in interacting with him and he's a genuine people pleaser.” Wach says of Nina and Sherman’s first meeting. “He’s big, boisterous…a young guy still looking for someone else to be the boss, and so we need Nina to get comfortable around him enough to provide that guidance. [To start off,] I had them walk around the City Hall courtyard a bit and have Sherman show us some of his tricks. He was a very good boy!” Nina, who is playing the role of Annie, has never had a dog of her own. “Meeting Sherman was incredibly nerve-wracking. At first, all I could see was how large he was, and I’ll admit I was intimidated…[but] having Sherman as my “part-time dog” is
Over the next few weeks, Nina and Sherman will meet for playful practice time together that includes learning the movements needed for the performance, walks, cuddles, and, of course, lots of treats. Each time they get together, the bond becomes closer. “Nina gets a big giant Sherman hug every time they see each other!” Foster says.

Beaverton Super Kids
Award Ceremony for Super Kids! COMMUNITY On Monday, October 2, 2017 the Kumon Math and Reading Center of South Beaverton celebrated their 19th Annual Awards program. More than 150 students were recognized for achievements above the Kumon International Grade Level. Students were awarded medals for reaching the International Grade Level and trophies for working one, two or three years above International Grade Level. It was a wonderful evening of pride as we celebrated our students’ achievements.
Jade City begins an epic tale of family, honor, and those who live and die by the ancient laws of blood and jade.
wonderful! Although he may be big, Sherman is super sweet. I think it took some time for both of us to get comfortable with one another, but once we did, we were really able to start connecting. I’m learning to do a bunch of fun tricks with him.” Her favorite? “That’s a hard one. You might not see it in the show, but Sherman can high five! There is another trick we might use, but that one will be a surprise.”
When a powerful new drug emerges that lets anyone -- even foreigners -- wield jade, the simmering tension between the Kauls and the rival Ayt family erupts into open violence. The outcome of this clan war will determine the fate of all Green Bones -- from their grandest patriarch to the lowliest motorcycle runner on the streets -- and of Kekon itself.
About the Author
About the Story Jade is the lifeblood of the island of Kekon. It has been mined, traded, stolen, and killed for -- and for centuries, honorable Green Bone warriors like the Kaul family have used it to enhance their magical abilities and defend the island from foreign invasion. Now, the war is over and a new generation of Kauls vies for control of Kekon’s bustling capital city. They care about nothing but protecting their own, cornering the jade market, and defending the districts under their protection. Ancient tradition has little place in this rapidly changing nation.
