Falling Back to Change By Bethany Stroup

W

hen most of us think of the Autumn season we think of pumpkin spice lattes and children heading back to schools. What I often ponder in this season is how inevitable change is in our lives. Every fall the trees transform their colors as a sign to us to remember that all things change with time. &KDQJH LV RIWHQ GLI¿FXOW and the transitions leave us in lulls of uncertainty. Even good changes can cause us to feel unbalanced. An old fable suggests that King Solomon had a ring with the words, “this too shall pass” written both on the inside and outside to remind him that bad and good things would both pass. So how does one orient to an ever-changing world with

ever-changing relationships? Instead of looking ahead with fear or anticipation, we can DOO SUDFWLFH ¿QGLQJ VRPHWKLQJ WR be happy about in each moment. That is how long-term joy is created in a changing world.

Bethany Stroup is the Media & Communications Specialist for Good Samaritan Ministries, a faithbased counseling organization with headquarters here in Beaverton.

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!

Beaverton: Our Town - Our Story

Fun & Games FLASH FICTION Tick. “It’s all fun and games until somebody loses the bet.â€? “We’re not losing the bet. It’s just a ďŹ nger puzzle. Wagner can break those in his sleep.â€? “Nobody’s sleeping till we solve this riddle. ‘He who makes me doesn’t want me?’ Who chose this escape room?â€? “Thirty-seven minutes. Anybody see a vase with a number on the bottom?â€? Tock. “What was with that psycho you made the bet with anyway? He appeared out of nowhere. Found the vase!â€? “We made the bet, and I have no idea what his deal is.â€? “Not like it’s a real bet. Our souls if we don’t beat the room? Must be a play on words—soles instead of souls. Freak wants our kicks.â€?

Beaverton at War “Twenty-three minutes, y’all. Let’s wrap it up or we’ll be walking home barefoot.â€? Tock. “Yes! We’re down to the last puzzle, and we still have eleven minutes. Thirty silvers a piece. I’m spending mine on beer.â€? Tick. “Crap, we’ve only got one minute left, and I have no idea where this candle goes.â€? Tock. The proprietor sighs as he places the new mementos littering the oor next to ones already serving their purpose. At this rate, he will have to retire some of the older puzzles to make space for new acquisitions. “’It’s all fun and games,’â€? he mutters to the wise, dead gaze of the trivia savant as he adjusts the angle of her daguerreotype. Then he scoffs at himself. “I have been here too long.â€? Tick.

“Kind of a weird theme, though. Memento mori? The death daguerreotypes are watching me.� “How could you possibly remember the word daguerreotype, let alone know how to pronounce—oh, right. Trivia chick.� “Trivia savant. Savant is the word you’re looking for.� Tick. “Finally. That cypher was a particularly nasty piece of work.�

Mary Elizabeth Summer is the author of the young-adult Trust Me mystery series. She lives in Beaverton with her wife, their daughter, their dog, and their evil overlor—er, cats.

HISTORY World War II touched every part of the country and Beaverton was no exception orld War II was an opportunity for the United States to prove itself on a global scale, both RQ WKH EDWWOH¿HOG DQG RQ WKH SURduction line. Massive growth in industry during WWII manifested in the conversion of Ford factories to battle-tank plants, construction of multiple shipyards on the West Coast, and many other endeavors that underscored the US’s commitment to the war. Even in Beaverton, labor was in high demand and laborers were recruited in southern and eastern states.

The war effort Some Beavertonians, like former mayor Otto Erickson, served in the shipyards during the war years. In the 1940s, Tualatin Valley Stages, a division of Portland Stages, Inc., provided limited bus transit service connecting the city with downtown Portland. Many shipyard workers used the limited bus transit service to take advantage of work opportunities in factories that produced items to be used in the war.

Shipyards used innovative new techniques of shipbuilding and built 1,490 ships during the war – 27% of the total Maritime Commission construction. Over two thousand homes were built during the WWII era to accommodate the LQÀX[ RI ODERU In Beaverton, life goes on In 1940, the Beaverton City Library was assumed by the City of Beaverton and made available WR WKH SXEOLF 0DQ\ SHRSOH ÀRFNHG WR WKLV QHZ QH[XV RI FRPPXQLW\ gathering in the Beaverton area. Despite the industrial demands of war, many entrepreneurs continued to run their businesses to provide essential services to the public.

Beaverton’s engagement in the war presented itself in many shapes and sizes – from neighborhood scrap drives to citywide programs for involvement in the war – but in the end, it’s the citizens who really made it all count.

Maybe they simply forgot.� I get that...but that’s not good enough these days. You have to be thankful, and you have to show it. Otherwise you might just lose people!

teve Irwin, aka The Crocodile Hunter, was a legendary conservationist that inspired people around the world to love and care about all animals. While he unfortunately passed away before I got to discover his show, The Irwin Family is following in his footsteps and reaching out to a new generation. On October 28th, Steve Irwin’s wife (Terri) and kids (Bindi & Robert) are releasing their own new show called Crikey! It’s the Irwins and their new show is about their life at the Australia Zoo. , ¿UVW OHDUQHG DERXW WKH ,UZLQV when I saw Bindi on Dancing with the Stars in 2015. I loved not only her passion for wildlife, but her positive attitude! Even after all she had been through, she always had a smile on her face. Then around last year I came across a video of Robert on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and that’s when I really fell in love with The Irwin Family! Robert’s enthusiasm for all Gift Baskets

of the animals he brought had me watching all of his Tonight Show appearances. Also the fact that Terri is from Oregon makes me an even bigger fan! They all motivate me to continue to volunteer at the Oregon Zoo as an animal specialist, and they’ve made a huge impact on my life. I now have two t-shirts with some of Robert’s photography on them, and I’m subscribed to their seasonal Crikey! Magazine. I also visited Steve Irwin’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Steinitz Academy The Steinitz Academy has a library of over 1500 chess books on openings, middle games, and endings along with some game collections available for his students to borrow as they seek to get an edge on competitors.

He’s customizing individual and group lessons for his students, and arranging new classes for schools like Montessori School of Beaverton and Access Academy. He hopes to reach even more chess students in other area schools. No matter where they come from or what level they’re at, chances are the kids will thrive under Coach Larry’s unique style of teaching.

It’s also important to stay connected to other people. Often when we start feeling down we don’t want to be around other people, but this can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness. Notice if you feel

reluctant before going out. You may want to set a goal of going out for a short amount of time. Then you can observe how you feel. If you notice you are feeling better you can decide to stay longer. Noticing how your mood changes after you participate in different activities can help you stay motivated to continue being active. Feeling like you need additional support?

As individuals and families consider hiring formal help, they need to make a critical decision: to hire a private caregiver, or to hire a caregiving agency. Here are some reasons to consider working with licensed agencies: • Caregivers who are employees of OLFHQVHG DJHQFLHV FDQ EH H[SHFWHG WR IROlow the best practices in the industry. The Oregon Health Authority sets standards for care, and reviews licensed agencies to be sure standards are being followed. Private caregivers may or may not follow best practices. • Agencies interview, background check and drug screen potential caregivers. These tasks are important and time consuming. Clients who hire private workers must complete these tasks on their own, and sometimes take shortcuts. • Agencies provide backup support should one’s caregiver be unable to work for any reason. As the saying goes, “life happensâ€?. Caregivers take YDFDWLRQV H[SHULHQFH LQMXULHV DQG KDYH family members who get sick like everyone does on occasion. Agencies create contingency plans for handling situations like these. Families who hire

private caregivers have fewer resources. • Problems or concerns with a caregiver are resolved through a manager or supervisor in licensed agencies. The care-recipient is relieved of uncomfortable conversations. Licensed agencies also train and coach their employees to success whenever possible. Without this administrative support, the client is left alone to handle problems or concerns. • Agencies cover their caregivers with workers’ compensation insurance. Individuals and families that hire a private caregiver take the risk of an on-the-job injury upon themselves. • Agencies carry liability insurance that protects all parties, including the client, from loss. Most private caregivers do not purchase a liability insurance policy. • Employers are required to pay payroll WD[HV $JHQFLHV DEVRUE WKLV FRVW IRU DOO caregiving employees.

When your car adds miles, look for these maintenance milestones By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello loyal Beaverton Readers! Thank You to all of you who have written in, called, and emailed. I appreciate the feedback. Recently I received a call from Carolyn who lives here in Beaverton and she was concerned with services on her vehicle. She had not been going to the Dealership and only been doing oil changes. She asked if I would write about vehicle maintenance: what work is needed and when. So for October, here is my recommended service guide by mileage on your vehicle. Oil Changes First, let’s talk oil. Although oil should be changed on a fairly regular basis, you probably don’t need to change it as often as you’ve been told. A commonly cited number is 3,000 miles — The owners manual for your vehicle will tell you how often it really should be performed. For the last few years, manufacturers have been backing away from the 3,000-mile recommendation because that number is based RQ ROGHU OHVV HI¿FLHQW RLOV WKDW were used decades ago. Today,

because of the improved lifespan of synthetic oils, many manufacturers suggest a change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. In fact, getting an oil change every 3,000 miles can actually be wasteful. There are some reasons you might want to change it more often, however. Driving that includes a lot of stopping or slowLQJ IRU H[DPSOH ZLOO SXW PRUH strain on the engine and use up more oil, so if that’s you, you’ll want to get your oil changed more than once every 7,500 miles. But even then, 3,000 is still too often. Scheduled Servicing Scheduled services are recommended by the manufacturer to ensure that your car doesn’t break down, and you’re often required to stick to this car maintenance timetable to keep your warranty intact. Each car has a different schedule, though, so when in doubt, check your owner’s manual. 15,000 Miles About 15,000 miles down the road, most vehicles are due IRU WKHLU ¿UVW VHUYLFH 7KLV LQLWLDO round isn’t too demanding, but it can still run you around $200. It

Your mechanic might also suggest changing your spark plugs at this point. Not necessary! There are different levels of spark plug quality, but few need to be changed every 30,000 miles. In fact, you likely don’t even need to FKDQJH WKH WUDQVPLVVLRQ ÀXLG DW this point.

at 60,000 miles you’ll want to replace all the belts, valves, and hoses that are wearing thin. Depending on the type of spark plugs you have, now would be a reasonable time to switch those out as well. 100,000 Miles :KHQ \RX ¿QDOO\ KLW WKH ELJ 100k, it’s time for the ultimate checkup. It’s a nice round number, your car has served you well, and it’s time to go all-out ‌ right? Well, not necessarily. There are a few items that generally don’t get addressed until 100,000 miles or more (orange coolant, long-life spark plugs), but 100,000 is nothing special — at least not in terms of car

Staying Healthy Heading into the Holidays By Dr. Bryen Bell

T

he holidays are right around the corner and they can be a challenging time for our physical and emotional health. The high demands of the season tend to contribute to unhealthy habits. Kick things off right this season by focusing on your health.

Ways to Stay Healthy This Holiday Season

1. Eat Well: During the holidays, people typically gain 5-10 pounds. Maintain your weight by eating a well-balanced diet. A good rule of thumb is to indulge only in moderation. Choose healthy foods when eating at home and remember that many beverages are loaded with calories.

2. Avoid Injuries: Most injuries that occur during the holidays are caused by decorations. Be sure to check ladders before use and set them up properly. Remember to always lift with your legs, not your back to avoid strains and ask for help if needed. 3. ([HUFLVH ,W PLJKW VHHP OLNH D KDVVOH WR H[HUFLVH GXULQJ WKH holidays.

Hoda’s Middle Eastern Cuisine builds on a family tradition of delicious food and warm hospitality. Owner and culinary master, Hoda, is a second-generation Portland restaurateur who grew up in Beirut where she cultivated a palate for the highest quality, authentic Lebanese cooking. After immigrating to the US in 1984 she attended Portland State while her parents opened the popular Nichola’s Restaurant. Hoda’s passion for fresh, delicious flavors led her to open Hoda’s with her husband, Hani, and their three children (including 3 month old twins). Today they carry on the tradition of Nicolas’s welcoming atmosphere with true Middle Eastern hospitality. Flavorful Freshness It’s all about the flavor. Every recipe has been developed by Hoda herself, and she still does all the cooking using only the freshest organic, locally-sourced ingredients. Hoda’s passion for flavor and freshness make her a regular at the local farmer’s market where she scouts the ingredients for today’s dishes. She also uses only olive and canola oils—never butter or shortening. Catering With over 15 years of catering experience, Hoda’s has provided a wide range of quality foods, including non-Middle Eastern dishes like Bar-
