M
y work as a Reiki practitioner and teacher does not feel like a job; It feels like a calling. After nearly 10 years as an energy worker, I have created a new way to share Reiki with my clients and students by incorporating Trauma Informed principles. When my family moved to Oregon in 2017, I took a long hiatus. During that time, I learned about Trauma Informed (TI) principles and I witnessed how trauma survivors could heal due to TI principles guiding the process. As a trauma survivor myself, I recognized the safety and empowerment that TI principles create within an organization, and how that contributes to healing. When a group of my Reiki students and clients asked me to return to my work, I decided to create a Trauma Informed Reiki practice, but it was something that I had to invent. The result is an intentional way of working with trauma survivors that helps them feel safe and
empowered because I collaborate with my clients to create sessions that work for them. I am so passionate and committed to this model of care that I DP DOVR FUHDWLQJ D FHUWL¿FDWLRQ course to help other alternative wellness providers use TI principles in their practice. As an experienced Reiki practitioner and teacher, I have always loved sharing Reiki with my clients. By adding Trauma Informed principles, I have added a new dimension that empowers my clients to experience peace and calm in their lives, and make progress on their goals, whether that be simply to relax or to transform and grow after trauma. Nourish the soul with Reiki.

ric Roshak may or may not be a hero. What he is, for sure, is a dedicated and reliable employee who has been willing to work throughout the current pandemic. Eric works for Walgreens, a company that is considered an essential business (and one with a great record of working with people with disabilities) and has remained open throughout the pandemic.
When his Dirkse Counseling & Consulting job coach Drake Mezzanatto asked Eric if he liked working during
the pandemic, he replied, “Yes! I’m happy putting stuff away.â€? Eric’s father added “The toughest part about Eric working during all of this has been getting used to wearing a face mask. He hates those things and so we had to try different types until we ÂżJXUHG RXW WKDW KH SUHIHUV bandannas or face sleeves over masks. Other than that, it’s been basically the same for him.â€?

They look the other direction as they pass people. No acknowledgement. I have been doing my own sociological study. Now, some people will move out of the sidewalk as you near, walk past and smile, nod or say hello. But many people have changed! They are looking down, looking in the sky, looking away...until they pass you. I get the fear...but whatever you want to call this...it is anti-social, and it’s growing.

ine maples are native to forest understories and along stream banks, but can also be found out in the open. They usually grow vine like, crooked, and sprawled out in forest settings with multiple stems but stay fairly symmetrical out in the open. Reaching anywhere from 6 to 35 feet tall it is considered a large shrub to small tree. In the autumn the vine maple displays red, orange, and yellow colored leaves which makes it a very attractive addition to any yard.

A: Whether you rent or own your home, the best way to stay cozy and save on energy costs is to weatherize. Some things you can do yourself easily and cheaply, while others require more effort and money. Either way, the goal is to keep the warm air in and cold out, and potentially lower your monthly energy bill.

The right tree in the right place can make all the difference. Trees keep our air clean, provide homes for wildlife and do wonders for making our homes more enjoyable with their beauty and shade. But trees can also cause some problems as they grow. Branches and vegetation can trigger outages and pose fire risk. That’s why PGE regularly inspects and trims trees growing near power lines. It’s part of our ongoing effort to help ensure safe, reliable power and reduce outages and the risk of fires. Here’s where you can help If you’re planting any trees this fall, you can help by following our right tree, right place guidelines. See diagram above. Plant only low-growing trees and bushes near power lines. For taller varieties, choose areas away from power lines.

OREGON ZOO
mid a poaching crisis heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oregon Zoo and the Uganda Wildlife Authority have announced a new partnership to protect the rare Rothschildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giraffe. The program provides emergency funding for wildlife monitoring, patrol units and community-based conservation in Ugandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve and Kidepo Valley National Park, each home to rare populations of Rothschildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x201C; also known as Baringo or Ugandan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; giraffes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In these areas, with almost eighty percent of the people living below the poverty line, issues of wildlife conservation may not be a top priority due to food insecurity,â&#x20AC;? said Isaac Mujaasi, project coordinator for Oregon Zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s East Africa program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Giraffes and other wildlife are an attractive target for poaching.â&#x20AC;? An estimated 1,100 Rothschildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giraffes remain in the wild â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a population smaller than that of the giant panda. According to Mujaasi, giraffe meat and hides are highly valued in illegal markets. The root of the poaching crisis, he says, must be addressed through education and community-building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Engaging young people is very important,â&#x20AC;? Mujaasi said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are working to strengthen wildlife and environmental clubs in schools and communities, and developing education packages that will enable young people to learn and take positive conservation actions at both the individual and community level.â&#x20AC;?

eet Furever Foster Lewis: 13 year old Lewis came to us with little to no vet care his whole life! He had to have 19 teeth removed and suffered from a myriad of other health issues. Lewis has spinal arthritis which causes him to not be able to empty his bladder, which then causes frequent UTIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. We are taking him to a specialist to make sure he gets the best care possible to keep him happy and comfortable. Lewis is a very sweet quiet boy, who loves to be held and cuddled. He has one of the cutest pug faces you have ever seen! We are happy to be able to give Lewis a forever home where he will get the medical care he needs. On occasion, some of our pugs come into the rescue with a terminal illness, constant medical needs or have special emotional needs. These dogs are considered unadoptable, yet they are still able to live with a good quality of life. For these dogs, our foster families commit to a lifetime of love and care for the time they have
OHIW DQG 3DFLÂżF 3XJ 5HVFXH provides food, supplies and medical treatment for each dog in the Furever Foster program. Our only funding for this program comes from donations and sponsorships. We rely heavily on our supporters to help us continue to help these sweet seniors live a full, happy comfortable life.
PaciďŹ c Pug Rescue is a non-proďŹ t operated by volunteers and rely solely on donations from the community. With no paid staff, every penny of your tax-deductible donation goes to help save Pugs in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. If you are interested in adopting one of our wonderful pugs or have questions, visit us at www.paciďŹ cpugrescue.org.

Eventually Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to go back to work How will my dog adapt? BONNIE HAYS
I adopted a new dog during the pandemic and have been home with him most of the time. What will happen if he barks during the day once I eventually must go back to the ofďŹ ce and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home alone?
It is very smart to start thinking about this now! First, we recommend that you begin training your dog how to be comfortable at home alone as soon as possible. Contact a professional dog trainer for personalized help. It is also a good idea to talk to your neighbors ahead
of time. Let them know that you want to make sure your dog is quiet when you return to work and are working on training. Provide them with

Healthy Pregnancy & Delivery Set yourself up for success! HEALTH
O
ne of the biggest concerns I hear from newly pregnant moms is about the delivery. Whereas this is a natural process, over the years the beauty of this experience has been sterilized and have caused many moms-to-be and dads-to-be much anxiety and worry. Lost in all the prenatal visits and birthing center tours, is the idea that the better mom’s body is functioning, the better the pregnancy and thus birth process can be. Most moms work very hard to eat right, exercise, and educate themselves on the various stages of pregnancy and the looming child-rearing ahead. What is often overlooked is the function and mobility of the spine and sacrum. A key area is the neuro-biomechanics of
the sacroiliac joints and their role during delivery. What I have noticed over the years and has been studied by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), is that the better the sacroiliac joints move the less likely there ZLOO EH GLI¿FXOW\ LQ ODERU Please do not take that to mean no pain and no problems. But know that these joints need to move properly in order for the birth canal to open completely.
Over the last few decades, chiropractic has been considered a good alternative to treating neck pain, headaches, and lower back pain. The reality is that chiropractic care is a great way to improve overall function and health of the entire body, including pregnant moms! Not all chiropractors work with families. You can ¿QG FHUWL¿HG FKLURSUDFWRUV on the ICPA website. Over the last 28 years, working with families has been one of my biggest rewards.

Coping with an Everyday Loss? â&#x20AC;˘ Accept the sense of profound loss and welcome it as part of the process. â&#x20AC;˘ Let them know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sorry itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening and ask if they would like to talk about it. â&#x20AC;˘ Admit that change is always hard. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage them to grieve in whatever way that is natural (and healthy) for them.

in the home, downsizing to a senior community, life without the job they once held, etc. Explain how life transitions can cause feelings of loss and encourage them to be gentle with themselves. Remind them that grieving is a process and takes time. Let the pain of loss exist without trying to cheer them up. Let things hurt. Allow them space to vent feelings of anger, sadness, frustration, etc.
If you care for someone experiencing loss, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to do it alone. Help them connect to local resources if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate. A community helpline is available 24/7 by dialing 211.

I have joined Mayors across the country to lead the call for federal funding for cities of all sizes, and more funds mean more help for our community. Our local businesses are a critical part of Beaverton. They provide more than just takeout
– they provide needed jobs, they support our local economy, and they help us build community. That’s why I’m excited about the Beaverton Business Recovery Program. With funding provided from Washington County through the federal CARES Act we will be awarding more than $2 million in grants to eligible small businesses.

Our Beaverton Story:
Take a virtual tour on our website
W
hen my service in the Army was complete, my husband and I had an exhilarating task: where would our forever home be? Ian was serving in the National Guard and we could move anywhere in the country. We decided on Oregon because we love the outdoors - and Beaverton had good schools and parks, which was appealing for a young couple ready to start a family. And for two combat veterans, Beaverton felt safe. Ever since, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve planted deep roots and grown our family.

Please share the following tips with friends, family, or anyone else who has children living in or visiting their home. • Keep windows closed and locked when not in use. • Keep furniture and anything a child can climb on away from windows. • Do not open windows more than 4 inches and install window stops. Window stops prevent windows from opening wide enough to allow a child to tumble out. • Window stops should be easily removed by an adult LQ WKH HYHQW RI D ¿UH RU RWKHU emergency, as windows serve as a secondary means of escape. • For a double-hung window,
open the top portion near the ceiling for ventilation while keeping the bottom portion closed. • Actively watch children near windows — no device can replace adult supervision. Encourage children to keep a safe distance away from windows. • Ask about window safety when your child visits other homes.

indows are one of the WRS ¿YH KLGGHQ KD]DUGV in the home. Each year falls from windows account for about eight deaths and more than 3,300 injuries to young children in the United States, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue crews have responded to four window falls in the past few months, and we want to prevent any other devastating incidents from occurring. Window screens are not strong enough to keep a child from falling out of a window. They are designed to keep bugs out, not kids in. Because children frequently land on their heads, many require hospitalization for fall injuries and may have permanent disabilities. In Oregon, a majority of falls occur between May and September but can happen anytime windows are open. The encouraging news is that simple steps can help prevent injuries. As a partner in the Stop at 4 Inches Campaign to Prevent Window Falls, TVF&R urges parents and families to continue their
perspectives as we build a Beaverton that we can all call home. I would be honored to serve as your next city councilor and encourage you to learn more on www.nadiaforbeaverton.com ~ Nadia Hasan

Every year we actively inspect and assess electrical equipment and prune over 2 million trees along 12,000 miles of overhead lines. We also monitor the weather closely for extreme heat, wind and lightning storms and cut back on construction activity and other work in wild areas during these high fire-danger periods. This work is essential and helps protect our customers and communities from wildfire. And we’re just part of the picture. We also align our efforts with state, local and federal agencies, sharing knowledge and best practices, and learning how we can continue to improve and refine our procedures to reduce the dangers each wildfire season imposes.

ery few people start out the day saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to crash my car today.â&#x20AC;? However, with more people getting on the roads, and driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having more distractions, you never know when it could happen to you. If it does happen to you, the police need to be called if the crash results in any of the following: â&#x20AC;˘ (1) Someone is injured or killed; â&#x20AC;˘ (2) There is more than $2500 damage to any vehicle or property; â&#x20AC;˘ (3) Any vehicle is damaged to the extent that the vehicle must be towed from the scene. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much damage is done, or you need help exchanging information with other driver(s), call the police.

I wonderâ&#x20AC;Ś how many more opportunities are there to help share Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abundance with others in need today? Even when we feel that there is just not enough to go around, Jesus tells us to share with generous and thankful hearts. The amazing thing is that the act of generosity does not lead to scarcity, but instead leads to more abundance and generosity. How can we share in generosity these days? Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharing money with others. Or maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s giving of our time to have a meaningful conversation with someone who just needs to talk. How can volunteering help not only others, but also ourselves? It is a blessing

consequences of human activity over the past century: climate change, deforestation and pollution. These byproducts of modernization also prevent us from enjoying the beauty of the night sky as well. Light pollution is a worldwide issue which conceals the true night sky and affects all of us. At my home, even during the late hours of the night I still distinctly noticed splashes of light coming from other backyards. It has been estimated that in Europe and the United States 99 percent of people are living under light polluted skies. Only using lights where it is needed,

One-way walking: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely recall there were several â&#x20AC;&#x153;routesâ&#x20AC;? you could take at your leisure. Now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a single, one-way route that basically takes a loop around the perimeter. Several, mainly closed-in sections, are blocked off and unavailable but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still able to see a majority of the active animal enclosures. 3. Do not touch the glass: This is a harder rule for the little ones to remember. There are stickers on all of the window displays reminding guests not to touch them.
The Coast: A day trip to the coast could be just the ticket. Our kiddos are still pretty young, so
playing in the sand and dipping their toes into the water provide hours of active entertainment. More importantly, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of room to feel comfortable. Pro tip: By packing a cooler and bringing snacks, the only potential pit stop youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need is the occasional bathroom break.
Farms: Living in Beaverton puts us closer to numerous farm experiences available within and around the county. â&#x20AC;˘ Picking Produce: Large farms with space to U-pick are a great opportunity to keep the kids busy and snap some great pics while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re there.

Car leasing vs. car buying Ownership: The ability to do whatever you want whenever you want with your vehicle without the fear of additional fees is a great feeling. Even if you have a loan, the car is yours to do with as you wish. When you own your car, you can drive as much as you want and customize to your heart’s content.

H
ello Loyal Beaverton Readers! Thank you once again to everyone who has written in, emailed and called asking for advice about your automobile. I recently had a number of Beaverton residents ask about the EHQH¿WV RI OHDVHLQJ WKHLU QH[W FDU so after some research, here are some guidelines. Benefits of Leasing Lower Payments: A typical car lease payment can be VLJQL¿FDQWO\ ORZHU WKDQ \RXU monthly payments would be if you bought the same vehicle DQG ¿QDQFHG LW ZLWK D WUDGLWLRQDO personal auto loan. That’s because lease payments are based on the depreciated value of the vehicle over the course of the lease period and not the vehicle’s full value. Low Maintenance: Also, your newer vehicle will likely remain under warranty throughout the lease period and, therefore, rarely require anything more than routine maintenance. With a lease, you never have to worry about any mechanical failures. No matter what, you’ll be covered. Nicer cars: Drivers can lease a vehicle that is nicer and more expensive than one they could afford to purchase. Leases generally run for two to four years, and when they expire, you are eligible to sign a lease on a new car. When your lease is up, you don’t have to go through the time-consuming resale process. You can jump right into a new leased vehicle and leave the sales hassle to someone else. Drawbacks to Leasing Contract: When you have a lease, it is harder to get out of the contract than it might be to sell a used vehicle. Mileage Allowance: Car leases typically have a stated (but negotiable) maximum number of miles that the lessee can drive the vehicle per year, known as the mileage allowance. The standard mileage allowance for a private driver lease normally ranges from 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year. If a driver exceeds the mileage allowance, they’ll be charged an additional fee per

mile. If you do decide to take on the responsibility of a lease, make VXUH \RX UHDG WKH ¿QH SULQW Fees and Penalties: Although a lease has a lot of great perks, you’ll often pay more in the long run for a comparable vehicle if you lease it rather than buying it. Leases can also come with many fees and penalties. Upfront fees may include down payment, security, and license fees. Penalties may include default charges for late payments, fees for ending the lease before the agreed maturity date, and additional fees for abnormal wear and tear. Benefits of Buying Equity: Each payment goes toward owning your car outright. Most car loan terms are 4-6 years. After paying off your loan, you can choose between driving the car without payments, trading it in for a new model, or selling the vehicle. If you take good care of the vehicle, the resale value can help you recoup some of your expenses. Drive and drive more: You can also drive as many miles as you want without worrying about penalties. There also are no wearand-tear fees when your loan runs out, as there often are with leases. As long as you are committed to driving your vehicle for an extended amount of time and have adequate car insurance coverage, you are unlikely to lose RXW ¿QDQFLDOO\
Higher payments: With a loan, you’re paying for the full value of the car over a few years, which means your monthly payments usually are higher than a lease. Maintenance: It can be incredibly frustrating when your newly purchased car has a major mechanical problem shortly after the warranty runs out. But when you own a car past its warranty expiration, the costs of all repairs fall on you. As well, excessive mileage and wear and tear will harm your car’s resale value, and you’ll be responsible for trading or selling your used car if you want a different one.

hether you are eating home grown tomatoes, or those grown by our farmers, this is the time to freeze, preserve, can or dry your favorite varieties so you can enjoy all of that tomato goodness after the season is over. One of our favorite crops, cherry tomatoes, are available in abundance right now so we recommend a simple drying technique that does not require any special equipment. At a time when the pandemic has made life stressful for everyone, we are grateful for small joys like the satisfaction we feel at having preserved some of summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bounty to enjoy anytime. Instructions: East Oven Dried Cherry Tomatoes 1. Line a sheet pan or two, depending on how many tomatoes you have, with parchment paper. Cut your tomatoes in half and lay them on the sheet

You will have to adjust the time depending upon the size of the tomatoes and how â&#x20AC;&#x153;dryâ&#x20AC;? you want them to be. 2. Once they are mostly dry and chewy, but not completely desiccated, remove them from the oven and allow to cool.

Portland Ashwagandha Farm: Jeff Johnson (farmer and founder of Portland Ashwagandha Farm) began studying chemistry and Ayurvedic medicine in his youth and was destined to become an herbalist and farmer of plant medicine. He started Rising Stone Farm in 2012; a biodynamic medicinal herb company which grew, processed and sold tinctures and raw medicinal pants at Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets and co-ops. Over time, Jeff noticed that the need for Ashwagandha was increasing as many he encountered expressed feeling run down and nervously exhausted. This new insight propelled Jeff to focus primarily on perfecting the cultivation and processing of the Ashwagandha plant with the belief that it is the best medicine for all the modern ailments we face. In 2015, Portland Ashwagandha Farm launched SURYLGLQJ WKH ÂżUVW ELRG\QDPLcally grown, freshly harvested, and spagyrically processed Ashwagandha tincture product on the market.

Tune in to view Cinderella: Celebrating Culture as Good Triumphs Over Evil September 20th (Sunday) at 2pm
OUT & ABOUT
W
hat comes to mind when you think of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cinderellaâ&#x20AC;?? If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image, made famous by Disney, of the blonde-haired svelte European in a sparkling blue dress who talks to mice and meets her Prince Charming, you are probably in the majority. But in reality, nearly every culture has its version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Cinderella storyâ&#x20AC;? - a young girl who rises from â&#x20AC;&#x153;rags to richesâ&#x20AC;? with the aid of a magical spirit. Though the journey and tone may differ in each, ultimately, we feel comforted seeing that good truly does triumph over evil in the end. Inspired by this idea Beaverton Civic Theatre launched a multi-month project, partially funded by the City of Beavertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Welcoming Week, and began researching and creating script adaptations for four versions of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Cinderella storyâ&#x20AC;?, seeking to bring together local cultural partner organizations and members of our community to advise on and assist with the story, casting, translation, and design of each version. Partnerships emerged with Hindi Sangam, Hope Chinese Charter School, the German International School, Portland Community College â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rock Creek Campus, and local
community members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a time when there is so much in the world that can divide us, we wanted to explore ideas that bring people together,â&#x20AC;? says Beaverton Civic Theatre Producing Artistic Director Melissa Riley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many times, our communities and

intention to rehearse and perform this project live had to EH VKLIWHG WR D ÂżOPHG YHUVLRQ the production team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t PLVV D VWHS LQ DGMXVWLQJ WR ÂżJure out how it could be done safely and still protect the artistic integrity of the piece. As hoped, audiences can still expect to see four versions of â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Cinderella storyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cendrillon in English, Aschenputtel in German, Cinduri in Hinidi, and Ye-Xian in Chinese â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all interwoven to highlight each cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique history and tradition, while also exploring the thematic bonds that unite them. Each cultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story will be narrated in its native language with English subtitles. Tune in to view Cinderella: Celebrating Culture as
Good Triumphs Over Evil on Sunday September 20th at 2pm. The event is free to attend, but pre-registration is required to access the Zoom link. Immediately following the Zoom performance, the community is invited to engage in a talkback with the production team and cultural partners as part of the City of Beavertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Welcoming Week Celebration, alongside other community pieces.
