September is already here and it’s hard to believe The colors are changing all around us, teachers and students are returning to classes, but we aren’t quite ready to hunker down yet. We’re going to celebrate all things Beaverton with our annual parade on September 10. On October 16, we’ll welcome hundreds (if not thousands) of runners and walkers from across the region to participate in the Beaverton Half Marathon. While outdoor activities slow down slightly, the work of the city and your elected speed. I am hosting a series who represent Beaverton and candidates who will be representing Beaverton in the upcoming legislative session. With the session starting in January, we have been working on our state legislative framework, including bills that Beaverton will support. I’m always interested in hearing from community members about the issues most important to them – so reach out!
Mayor Lacey Beaty: “I’m grateful for the BRG’s role in keeping our community connected so that we can build a better Beaverton for all. We are resilient, and together we can recover the American dream.”
a
Lacey Beaty was elected Mayor of Beaverton in 2020. Prior to serving as Mayor, she served for six years on the Beaverton City Council.
The goal of The BRG is simple and can be easily read at the top of each month’s cover: “Connecting Community”. To me, this means connecting people who live, work or shop in and around Beaverton with the abundant local resources available here. So, whether you’re a shop or a shopper, we’ll do our best to introduce you to each other. Are you looking for something to do out of the house? We’ve got you covered there too with a variety of options in our Out & About section. Find the county’s event calendar, the Beaverton Farmers Market Vendor Guide, regional theatre line ups, a full list of library programs and more.
Sincerely, Michael Wong (Managing Editor) PS. Don’t forget to visit our website www.beavertonresourceguide.com.
The BRG is available for pickup at over 170 locations from large grocery stores to small dentist offices. For information about placing an ad, stories, distribution or anything else, email BRG@CedarHouseMedia.com.

“People Matter”, that’s our motto!
“People Matter” represents the individuals we serve, our team, as well as our community partners. We are all unique and have a purpose. It is important to understand a person’s perspective and not what we [as providers] might think is best. It is important to value our team; if employees are valued, they are more engaged with their work and focused. Our partners matter: collaboration and working together more effectively to meet client’s needs while encouraging people to be their best.”
JenniferIntroducingLundgren
By Kristi Metschan. For more info about our mission & programs, call Glenn Bishop: (503)-265-9256 or email gbishop@dirksecc.com.
How did you begin working in the field of supported employment? “I have family members who are autistic and grew up advocating for more inclusive environments and acceptance. Through connections of people I knew, I was recruited for my HR/ operations background. It in the mission and could use my skill set to impact the company.” Why work in employment? supported “Your work is meaningful, and you have a profound impact on someone else’s life. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference in our clients’ lives and the community while experiencing the rewards of nurturing independence. Each day is different, and you always learn something new about yourself and the individuals you support. What is your motto?
#BeavertonAtWork
What does an HR/Operations manager, a psychology student, and a former special education provider have in common? They all work with Dirkse Counseling and Consulting! I spoke with the CEO and co-owner of Dirkse Counseling, Jennifer Lundgren to share her journey in the world of supported employment.

D id you know that employees who do volunteer work with their colleagues tend to be more engaged and committed to their employers? There are many studies that demoners teaming up on community projects.Manycompanies underpay their employees while doing community service, some schedule teams of employees to volunteer during the regular workday. As employees work alongside each other in service, they build stronger bonds and respect. This provides more context for working through at work.Sure, it can be hard for very small businesses to take time away from day-to-day activities to volunteer together. However, with advance notice to customers and suppliers, most businesses can close for a few hours or half day to volunteer together. Heck, some of your customers might even join you in your efforts if you ask them! volunteer opportunities?

Tmyself thinking about quite often as I stroll through Downtown Beaverton; there is power in numbers. The streets are bustling with morning vendor trafof human interaction in the First Dining Commons. I greet one of the town’s lovable retired constituents on their morning stroll. Different dialects coalesced with familiar sentiments greet me as I pass the historic 1916 Fisher-Rossi Building. “Peace be upon you, brother!” As I saunter from one meeting to another, I see doors of businesses propped open; more than a sign for customers indicating operation hours. However, the open doors also welcome commercial neighbors and the sharing of information (and inevitably trite gossip) that feels inherent to a close-knit community.Outsideof the proven Ricardian model of economic comparative advantage, it is clear that collaboration between business owners, property devates the status of a community opportunities yielded from entrepreneurial networking, the cohesion resulting from collaboration shapes a community’s overarching identity. We often bifurcate history into past and present with minimal understanding of the connection between the two. I’m referring to the constant balance between imagination and realization or ideology and practicality. The BDA exists as a body to preserve what holds meaning to the Beaverton Downtown area while accommodating the imminent change that growth will bring to our community. Our organization aims to cement the legacies of the past, honor the contributions of the present, and ensure equitable representation for the Whetherfuture.you enjoy a scrumptious meal with us on Beaverton Restaurant Week at the last week of September, indulge in a few brewskis at Brewerton beer walk, or get the family costumed up and ready for an unforgettable BOOverton, there is always a shindig going DOWN in DOWNtown Beaverton.

But what I have witnessed are the organic relationships between local businesses in Downtown and their true preference for harmonious collaboration over unpitying competition.

First and foremost, limit computer, tablet and smart phone screen time. This is especially for teenagers in the post zoom school era; but also, the most important thing to do. Computer time affects attention, sleep, mood and negatively alters brain development.Inanarticle in Psychology Today by Victoria Dunckley, MD, researchers found, “excessive screen-time appears to impair brain structure and function. Much of the damage occurs in the brain’s frontal lobe, which undergoes massive changes from puberty until the mid-twenties. Frontal lobe development, in turn, largely determines success in every area of life—from sense of well-being to academic or career success to relationship skills. “ Manage blood sugar swings and crashes.

It’s important for your grandchilhabits – and one way you can help is to open a savings account for them and encourage them to contribute to it. You might even offer an incentive, such as matching their contributions, either in whole or in part. Consider shopping around for a high-yield savings account that’s free to open and charges no monthly maintenance fees. Establish a custodiala account.account You may want to introduce your grandchildren to the world of investing by starting a custodial account (known as UGMA or UTMA) in their name. You can put most types of investments, such as stocks and mutual funds, inside this account and track their progress along with your grandchildren. Children often enjoy learning about investing – and they may like owning shares of companies that make familiar products and services. The earnings generated by these investments can have tax implications, so you’ll want to consult with your tax advisor before opening the custodial account. And you can’t hold onto this account forever –once your grandchildren reach the age of majority, they gain control of the account, so they can do what they please with the investments. When they’re young adults… Help with the down paywith the down payment on a homement on a home. Once your grandchildren are out in the world, they may well want to become homeowners.

#TEENESSAYEENSSAY Book Review: “The Sun Does Shine” by Anthony Ray Hinton I didn’t want to read it but I’m glad I did Like most students during the month of August, I have been playing catch up on my summer reading assignments. Now, I’ve never loved being assigned books so having one forced on me and then having to somehow connect to the material when I didn’t drains the joy straight out of my usual love of reading. With that out of the way, this summer I was assigned two books: The Sun Does Shine by Anthony Ray Hinton and Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer.
Let’s give Hispanic history the respect it deserves National Hispanic Heritage Month Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to highlight the history of Hispanic communities, though their impacts on the history of Oregon and the United States deserve recognition year-round. This annual recognition began as Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968, and 20 years later was expanded to the month that it is today. Instead of spanning just one month tage Month begins on September 15th of each year and ends on October 15. These dates represent the independence of Latin American nations from Spain:•Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua became independent on Sept. 15, 1821 •Mexico on Sept. 16, 1810 •Chile on Sept. 18, 1810. Various Latin American nations have made their mark on Oregon’s history. One such nation is Historically,Mexico.there have been many Mexican migrant workers in the western United States. Making up a significant part of the Hispanic population in Oregon, these jobs such as railroad work and farming—endured numerous injustices, ranging from dangerous working conditions to the possibility of deportation.

In fact, somewhere between 400k and 2 million Hispanic workers were deported during the Great Depression. This was a prejudiced action for which the United States government has never apologized. Despite such injustices, Mexican Americans as well as other Latin Americans who trace their heritage to a variety of different countries, have contributed a great deal to the culture of the United States, bringing their own diverse traditions, practices, and languages across the border. To honor these people who have contributed so much to our culture and history, look further into the history that informs all they have brought to the United States, and the world. Continue to learn this history, and in doing so, respect it and the diverse group of people and cultures that continue to make it.
“The Sun Does Shine” by Anthony Ray Hinton I started with the former as the topic interested me more. If the title does not seem familiar, The Sun Does Shine is a memoir written by a man who was put on Alabama’s death row for thirty years after being found guilty of a series of murders he did not commit. By the forward alone (written by the one and only Bryan Stevenson who wrote Just Mercy) I knew I was right to choose Stevenson paints Hinton to be a rarity among his many encounters with death row inmates. Guards were not cold and harsh as per usual legal visits, instead they inquired on how to help Stevenson prove Hinton’s innocence. While I did not understand why that was yet, I knew I had to conI did. it means to forgive, despite all odds. As a Black man, he makes friends with a former KKK member. He does not violently retaliate or simmer in his resentment for the unjust and cruel criminal justice system during his thirty years in prison. Instead, against even the darkest setting a man can face, he continues to bring humor and light to his fellowDespiteinmates.being a book assigned to me by my school, I am grateful that I read it. If you are looking for a last summer read before school starts or before you have to rush around picking up your kids from various activities, I strongly recommend this book. It expanded my knowledge of the deep, racist cracks in our criminal justice system and how to appreciate my own freedom substantially more.
The theme for this year’s Hispanic Heritage Month is “Unidos: Inclusivity for a Stronger Nation”. In practicing inclusivity and by giving Hispanic history the respect it deserves, we can strengthen the future of both Hispanic Americans and the nation in which they live.

There’s no doubt about the fact that the housing market is slowing from the frenzy we saw over the past two years. But what does that mean for you if you’re thinking of selling your Whilehouse?homeprices are still appreciating in most markets and experts say that will continue, they’re climbing at a slower pace because rising mortgage rates are creating less buyer demand. Because of this, there are more homes on the market. And in a shift like this one, the way you price your home matters more than ever. During the pandemic, sellers could price their homes higher because demand was so high, and supply was so low. Now, things are shifting, and that means your approach to pricing your house must shift too. Because we’re seeing less buyer demand, sellers must recognize this is a different market than it was during the pandemic. The price you set for your house sends a message to potential buyers. If you price it too high, you run the risk of deterring buyers. When that happens, you may have to lower the price to try to reignite interest in your house when it sits on the market for a while. But be aware that a price drop can be seen as will wonder what that means about the home or if in fact it’s stillTooverpriced.avoidthis headache, you’ll want to price it right from the onset.

Kevin Teater About Kevin Teater
Kevin Teater is a Beaverton City Councilor-Elect, whose term starts in January 2023. He currently serves on Beaverton Planning Commission and was previously the executive director of the Beaverton Downtown Association.
Exploring the city with joy When I started campaign for Beaverton City Council near the end of 2021, I did not yet know many of the people I would come to consider as friends. Campaigning is a brutal challenge, but with it brings the opportunity to create meaningful change through the building of relationships.
With the Perseids Meteor Showering having just happened, it made me realize it might be a good idea to make an article about how to take some good photos for the next one: the Epsilon Perseids meteor shower on 9/9. Here are 4 strategies to try:
#BEAVERTONCITYCOUNCIL
Policy advocacy can be hard. Its progress can be slow. And yet, we want to have fun doing it. We want to build relationships. We want our families to connect. This is grassroots And you can join us! Our bike rides are meant to be family-friendly and casual. If you are new to riding bicycles, we can help you get more comfortable and show you the ropes. If you just want to come out and have fun without diving into policy, you can do that too. And if you really want to sink your teeth into local community activism, you can help us build this movement in Beaverton and the greater Washington County area. We don’t have an online presence for our group of neighbors yet, but you can message me on my social(www.kevinteater.com)websiteormediachannelssothat I can connect you. Also, keep an eye on the www.shift2bikes.org calendar for the rides we post each month. See you soon!
One friend, Tina, saw that invited me for a bike ride along the Waterhouse Trail in northwest Beaverton. She wanted me to see some of the existing problems on one of our best trail facilities. Later, another friend, Rick, invited me to ride bikes with him along the Fanno Creek Trail in Raleigh Hills to see the potential for expansion of walking and biking paths. I didn’t know it then, but these rides formed the foundation of monthly group rides around Beaverton where we talk about policy and how to advocate for better transportation options and land use development.Asweride and enjoy our community, we are exploring the next steps for our growing group. We want more housing in Washington County. We want better walking and rolling paths that are safe from the danger of speeding drivers. We want more sustainable development. We want racially equitable neighborhoods. And fortunately, many people in the group know public policy well, and so we can talk about practical solutions that we can implement locally.
1. Get away from Light Pollution When taking photos of the night sky, your biggest enemy is ambient light. This can come from numerous different light sources. Anything from homes, to streetlights, cars, and cities, all of these can impact the quality of our photos. My suggestion is to get as far away from the city as you can. The absolute best location to see faint stars and meteors is at least 20-30 miles away from city limits.
Using a wider-angle lens, anything from 35mm and under, are perfect for taking night sky photography in general as they allow you to capture as much of the Milky Way and those beautiful stars as you can. You do want to be careful of going too wide if you don’t want to get lens distortion though. Also make sure you are using the 500 rule when setting your shutter speed. Basically take 500 and divide it by the length in millimeters of your lens and the resulting number is the shutter speed you should use if you don’t want star trails.

Kay’s adventure in car buying Buying a car does not have to be stressful
A week later, Kay went to get her hair done at a local Salon where she has been going for many years. There, she picked up a copy of the Beaverton Resource Guide and saw my article. Kay called me and after relaying her unfortunate car shopping story, I gave her an easy solution that she was bound to be happy with: let’s do this together. I explained that we actually do not have to trade in her exactly the car she wanted. Of course, she agreed and even though she was not in a hurry, this probably being her last car to own, she wanted one of two colors if possible: a super bright blue or ruby red. Having a couple of color choices sure makes my job easier! The next day, I found a bright blue car that she really wanted to see. I offered to pick her up in my sports car and when I arrived, she got so excited that it was a convertible, she said ‘keep the top down’ to which I happily complied. After putting her cane in the back seat, we made our way to the dealership and test drove the car (just the two of us). It was a 20-minute test where we got to check out the car up and down without a salesperson looking over our shoulder. Halfway through the test drive, she decided to buy it so I made a call to the dealership. Kay called it magic but when we returned from our test drive, the manager had everything ready for Kay to sign and purchased the vehicle. We even transferred her old plates to the new car. All in all, she saved $12k. What happened to her old car that she wanted to trade in? I sold it to a private party for It$7k.was truly a pleasure to make Kay’s car buying adventure less challenging and much more fun!

This is also a good time to set house rules on using the stove, oven, or microwave. Cooking is one of the leading due to food or oil being left unattended while being heated or having items placed too close to the burners. The following tips may help your child avoid a fire: •Allow cooking privileges based on age and maturity. Consider allowing younger children to only use a microwave or oven to heat food (versus the stovetop). However, use caution when heating food due to the potential for burn injuries.

Talk to your kids about how and when to call 911 for police, the event of an emergency. Children should know their address, phone number, and your contact information so that they can provide the information to an emergency dispatcher.

•Never use matches, lighters, or candles. Keep these items away from children and remind them that they are not to be touched by anyone other than an adult.
•Do not play with or overload electrical cords, and do not insert anything other than a plug into an electrical socket.
Let me tell you about my new friend, Kay, who has been a widow for 12 years. Kay was driving a 2007 Chrysthe transmission replaced for the second time in only 138k miles. At 83 years old, Kay needed a more reliable car and After going to several dealerships and listening salespeople offering cars she wasn’t interested in (and for mark ups between $5k-$10k!), she felt quite exhausted. And to add to the stress, they would only offer $2k for her current vehicle as trade in. Needless to say, she became discouraged and walked away.

And we underinconveniences put on everyone who has been a victim of this criminal organization. Your patience has allowed us to take this organization down from the top instead of just scratching the surface.”
Beaverton Police Department Detectives began an investigation into the converters in late 2021. The investigation, which culminated last week with the search of eight locations to include a waterfront residence in Lake Oswego, led to the seizure of over 3,000 catalytic converters, hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, a high-end vehicle, and jewelry. Police say the crime ring was centered in the Portland Metropolitan area, spanned over six Oregon counties, and reached into the states of Washington, Nevada, California, Texas, and New York.
The investigation began in late 2021 when Beaverton Police Detectives learned 32-year-old Tanner Lee Hellbusch of Beaverton was running an illegal stolen catalytic converter fencing operation. On March 1, 2022, Tanner Hellbusch was stopped by police in a vehicle transporting over one hundred stolen catalytic converters with an approximate value of $80,000. During the next Detectives determined Tanner Hellbusch, Brennan Doyle and over 12 other associates participated in an organized effort to steal catalytic converters from vehicles up and down the West Coast.

Big and Bold Painting: Lisaand Bold Lisa Manners:Manners: “The painting is a sunset view from a dock in Kota Kinabalu, a city on the North Coast of Borneo. For me, what made it a memorable sight, was the contrast with the activity only a few hours earlier. By day the dock is bustling with diesel powered where local seafood chefs bid menus. Now the boats and buyers are gone, the dock has been hosed clean, and all is quiet as the sunset spreads its stunning glow and fades into night.”

Angeline has a love for books and writing
“I would write 5-10 pages a day” Angeline, a Kumon Student for more than 6 years, has loved reading for as long as she can remember. Through reading, she was inspired to practice developing her writing skills to write a novel of her own. She began writing a book at a young age, and her writing routine later became very consistent. Angeline said, “I would aim to spend a minimum of 3 hours daily on themanuscript. This would mean writing another 5-10 pages, or just rewriting some scenes.”
The motivation to write wasn’t always there, but one key factor that helped was discipline. She credits the Kumon Program for helping to develop the structure and discipline needed to continue building a skill or completing a task. Angeline said, “Kumon goes the extra length to give you the repetition that is key to understanding those concepts and In Angeline’s case, the repetition of writing each day helped her complete her novel. While she did work consistently on her novel, there were times she faced challenges like writer’s block. Angeline said, “Even so, my family continued to push me, andI was still dechildhood dream of being an author.” Thanks to her drive and the discipline to continue working towards her dream, in December of 2021 Angeline’s dystopian novel, “Compound” wasAngelinepublished.intends to study engineering to have an occupation in orthopedics or biotechnology. She is set to intern at the National Cancer Institute where she will be investigating plasma membranes through a process called microscopy. Angeline said, “With my acceptance into this prestigious internship, I feel as though Kumon has continued to feed my hunger for knowledge even in other subject areas like this one.” What is Kumon?
