2 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 10 - Issue 11 (November 2020)

t’s very easy to be critical and cynical these days. I like to think that I have developed the art of being critical to new levels; my wife may begrudgingly attest to this talent.

I used to think it was an important skill to have an eye for critique; after all, it is important not to be taken advantage of by others, to hold people accountable to their actions, and to strive for greatness in our daily living.

But here’s the thing I’ve also UHDOL]HG WKH EHQH¿W GRHV QRW normally outweigh the cost.

Sure, perhaps you were able to get that discount offered by the restaurant for an unsatisfactory meal, but is it really worth living with such an attitude throughout the rest of one’s life? How can one really enjoy something if we are constantly looking for ways to criticize?

Juxtapose this attitude of criticism with that of being thankful.

I was once asked to record in a MRXUQDO ÂżYH WKLQJV , ZDV WKDQNIXO for in the day; it felt unnatural and hard to come by on that ÂżUVW GD\ +RZHYHU ZKDW , FDPH to realize was that I was going through pretty much the same daily reality as I was before; now I was just focusing on the positives rather than the negatives. In short, my attitude and perspective was slowly changing.

And this got me thinking

about all those people who seemed happier than I was. The reality was that they were experiencing all of the same stuff I was. They could just have easily complained about things; however, they just tended to focus on being appreciative for the positive things in the world, instead of focusing on the negative.

I still wrestle with critical thinking; it’s hard to shake at times. But I also recognize that being thankful for what life presents is also a contagious attitude.

Sometimes it’s merely a matter of perspective and our decision on what to focus on.

So how about we try focusing on thankfulness this month?

What new possibilities might present themselves with our new mindset? What simple things in life can bring about true thanksgiving? How can thankfulness heal and restore relationships in our lives today?

The world can do with a little thankfulness these days, and this is one contagious thing I’m willing to spread happily!

Finding Employment During a Pandemic Holly found what type of job she felt she had the skills and abilities to do.

After a few months and a handful of jobs applied for, DCC Job Developer Tara reached out to speak with local supermarket manager Justin M. to inquire about potential employment opportunities and arranged an interview. Justin connected with Holly, learning about other talents hobbies she could bring to the team at this business. When Holly attended BCTP, she designed signs for the school. Justin was delighted to learn about this skill and plans to use her talents. Holly was offered and started in a Courtesy Clerk position and has not looked back. +ROO\ UHSRUWV ³:KHQ , ¿UVW started working here... I was

n incredibly determined Holly De La Cruz Arellano began her employment search with Dirkse Counseling & Consulting (DCC) before the pandemic hit. While attending Beaverton Community Transition Program, Holly went through Career Exploration. Career Exploration is an employment service through DCC that allows individuals to tour local businesses, meet potential employers and engage in informational interviews.

really nervous- so nervous that I couldn’t even think or speak.

But the other employees were nice to me and they paired me with a trainer who showed me my work routine and tasks.

Some of the tasks like pulling carts and sanitizing them is not hard to do, when the weather is sunny, I enjoy getting some fresh air.”

Way to go Holly, we are excited to see some of your art on display!

CATALYST BUSINESS NEWSLETTER

Will your business succeed during these difficult times?

It’s the little things you choose BUSINESS ADVICE

T

here are 2 businesses where my family grabs a bite to eat quite regularly in the Beaverton Community.

They both have delights we enjoy, but they could not be more different in how they approach customer engagement.

Papa Murphy’s Pizza at Murray Road and Allen Boulevard’s employees answer the phone in a positive way, they look you in the eye, they give you info when you call your order in (like your balance), they tell you to have a great day, they say Thank You!!It shows that they want your business, and that they appreciate their customers gifting them their patronage and hard-earned money! IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS! The other location will go nameless. They are a locally owned eatery, we enjoy their food, and we don’t want to negatively impact their business by listing their name.

However, when you call an order in, their young employees mumble the company

www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

name as they answer the phone. They just gurgle out the company name, without a: “Thank you for calling” or “How may I help you. “In fact, I think the teacher from the Peanuts cartoons speaks more clearly!

After you order what you want, what you regularly get is silence, or a clipped: “Your order will be ready in 10 minutes.” Then click. ME: “Hello, are you still there? Hello?”

Nope, they hung up. No thank you, no total, no cheery: “See you in a few! “When I walk out the door with my food, it has been handed to me, by an employee who quickly turns away to their next task, without a goodbye, thank you,

have a great day or see you next time. IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS...OR LACK THEREOF! Now, I want to be clear, I know both owners. They know me. They know I have been in the sales/marketing/ customer service industry for decades. My Papa Murphy’s pal calls me regularly and asks me how my experience has been lately. He wants to know. He is on it. He trains regularly. He reminds his staff of the little things often.

Are they perfect? No, but they are good, pleasant, and I feel good calling and walking out the door with my pizza.

As for the owner of the service challenged business, I

have called and emailed him with lightly toned, positive worded messages about the interpersonal communication issues his staff is exhibiting.

He has been receptive, but nothing has changed. That’s ok, we’re not criticizing him here. Just comparing how one owner might be “on it” while the other is not “jumping on it”. We love their food, but:(A) I shake my head walking out the door, feeling a tad under appreciated.(B )We still order there as we love their food, but we also see our visits declining compared to the past.

Note, I don’t need to be coddled or over engaged. Not in the least. BUT, business owners and managers...keep in mind: We are living in a time ZKHQ SHRSOH DUH SLQFKHG ¿nancially and stressed out. Job restrictions, layoffs, Covid, Social Unrest, A Contentious Presidential Election, etc...all have people on edge, worried, anxious and more. People are careful where they spend their money, and more than ever, they want to feel good, feel appreciated, and walk out the door thinking their time and money was well spent.

Simple stuff here. It’s the little things. Eye contact.

Information Provided. Positive

Tones. Appreciation. Thank Yous.

You get to choose. Will your people be good or great at it? Or, will they just appear unengaged, going through the motions, or even uncaring.

Winning or losing. Succeeding or failing. It’s all based on: THE LITTLE THINGS! • Make it easy for people to do (and keep doing) business with you!

• Look up… and surprise someone!

LOCAL BUSINESS

H

ave you been to any of the great outdoor seating areas yet? The City of Beaverton recently approved outdoor dining to continue until further notice. Good news!

I highly recommend the 1st Street Dining Commons.

Open to the public, you can bring food from home or order from a local restaurant to eat on the street. Heaters and lights will be added to many of these outdoor business spaces as we enter the coder and darker winter months.

The BDA recently received grant funding to add planters, public art, and cultural programming to that space.

By the end of November, we could have two new murals, 14 new planters, and a Five Oaks Museum exhibit about the Kalapuyan indigenous people.

Come see it!

We have been fortunate to not lose any storefront businesses over the last month during the pandemic. However, this winter poses a lot of uncertainty for businesses. EncourDJH \RXU HOHFWHG RI¿FLDOV WR support small businesses with grants. But also, come visit the businesses here and shop locally!

See you soon! ~ Kevin Teater (Executive Director)

S conservation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been looking for ways to support local organizations that I love who have been hit hard by the pandemic,â&#x20AC;?

Red pandas are considered an endangered species, with populations declining by about 50% in the past 20 years. While exact numbers are uncertain, some estimates indicate as few as 2,500 may be left in the wild. In addition to habitat loss and fragmentation, red pandas also face

threats from poaching and the illegal wildlife trade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifty years ago, red pandas had healthy populations throughout the eastern Himalayas,â&#x20AC;? Cutting said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been disappearing at alarming rates. Hopefully, we can start a new chapter in the conservation of a species that is sharply declining in the wild.â&#x20AC;?

even year-old Sparky came into the rescue after her human was placed into hospice.

She had very little veterinary care throughout her seven years and had been fed a diet of hamburgers and Slim Jims.

She has already lost several pounds and has a few more to go. She can be a little shy DW ÂżUVW EXW ZDUPV XS TXLFNO\ and gets along with dogs and cats in her foster home.

Before she came into the rescue, she spent a bit of time at a boarding facility and and spent most of her time following the humans around while sporting a girlish grin.

Sparky is obviously not full pug, so we did a DNA test on KHU DQG FRPH WR ÂżQG RXW VKH is 50% Pug, 32% Bulldog and 18% Boston Terrier.She is 100% love!!

Sparky is spayed, UTD on all vaccines and recently had a dental.

BONNIE HAYS Each month, you will have the chance to have your questions answered by the animal shelter.

I got a new dog! I want to take her in for a check-up, but the veterinarians Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve called have had a long wait and some arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even taking new patients.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on?

ongrats on your new pet (and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to license your dog)! You are wise to try to develop a relationship with a veterinarian before there is a problem.

Veterinary clinics are still facing multiple COVID-19 related challenges that have led to them having less availability.

To preserve personal protective equipment (PPE) IRU ÂżUVW UHVSRQGHUV DQG health care providers, many are catching up after pausing

elective procedures such as spay and neuter.

Clinics may be taking fewer appointments each day to allow for safe distance between people and enough time for additional cleaning protocols. Many are now offering curbside or drop-off appointments to

allow for distancing. Additionally, many people have adopted new pets during the pandemic.

A clinic may not accept new patients in order to make sure they have enough appointments for current clients. This allows them to continue to offer urgent care for patients in need, maintain vaccination schedules, and offer timely follow-up appointments for current clients even with COVID-19 imposed limits.

We encourage you to EH DV Ă&#x20AC;H[LEOH DV SRVVLEOH regarding day, time and location of your appointment.

If you are worried that your pet is in pain or that they will miss a vaccination date, explain your concerns to the

clinic staff so they can do their best to help. We offer a list of all veterinarians in Washington County on our website.

Email your questions to: Stacy_Beckley@co.washington.or.us and we will try to answer as many as possible.

Sleep better every night With these 5 sureďŹ re tips HEALTH

O

ur ability to sleep is contingent on practicing good habits. Consider the following measures to help you catch your eight hoursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worth of slumber each night.

Manage your sleep environment.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to create a relaxing ambiance and do away with all potential sources of distraction: electronics, work-related stuff, or anything that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong to your bedroom.

Also, consider investing in the right mattress. Do your best to eliminate noise and light. All these add up and can greatly affect the quality of your sleep.

Get some sunlight.

Sunlight keeps your circadian clock working normally. This is an internal timekeeping mechanism that regulates bodily processes, telling the body to ramp up or wind down when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to wake and sleep. Try to get at least 2 hours of sunlight each day, starting off as close to the time you wake up as possible.

Reduce artiďŹ cial light.

Blue light -- the kind that emanates from electronic screens -- can throw your circadian clock off balance

when exposed to at night. To minimize this, steer clear of electronic screens 2-3 hours before you go to bed and dim the lights in your home.

Wind down before bed.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re various relaxation techniques you could include in your routine: quiet reading, meditation, breathing exercises, a warm bath, listening to soft music, and so on. Try to avoid things that may put your mind back into â&#x20AC;&#x153;work mode,â&#x20AC;? such as sending or reading emails.

Stay away from liquor.

Alcohol inhibits the production of melatonin, our bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep-inducing hormone. It can even interfere with your breathing patterns during the night. Steer clear of alcohol in the lead-up to your bedtime.

Poor lifestyle choices and unhealthy habits during the day can greatly hamper your ability to get enough quality sleep. Start making the right changes towards healthier habits, and your situation will improve sooner than you imagine.

went to the optometrist today. Happy to report nothing too dramatic is going on, other than the need for bifocals.

When we are young, for most of us, the lenses of our eyes bend. This allows light to focus onto the retina so that we can see objects both near and far. As we age, this capacity decreases. Typically, we need to hold things farther away to focus. The muscles that control our pupils, which widen and constrict to allow light in, weaken so we often require more light to see clearly.

If our lenses become cloudy, we have cataracts. 50% of people over 75 years old get cataracts. Many serious issues affect the aging eyeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;detached retina, glaucoma, macular degenerationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and many chronic health issues will affect vision.

LOCAL ADVICE

Just like the rest of our bodies, there are ways we can slow down the aging process of our eyes.

If you are on the computer or your phone for long stretches of the day, set a timer. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. You can also download a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tibetan Eye Chartâ&#x20AC;? which will lead your eyes on a series of exercises to stretch and maintain and, many claim, improve vision.

A diet low in sugar, high in brightly colored fruits and vegetables and dark leafy greens is rich in antioxidants. Cataracts are caused by oxidative damage to the lens. Excessive sugar deposits on the retina, the nerves, the blood vessel, the kidneys, causing reduced function in these tissues which will affect your vision as well.

I discovered that if I drink a ODUJH JODVV RI ZDWHU ÂżUVW WKLQJ in the morning, the dryness in my eyes goes away. Fish oil supplements also help lubricate the eyes.

Spend time in nature, looking far out onto the horizon.

A mountain top, a cliff over the ocean are perfect places to stretch your vision. Then, look at something close up.

Focus on the minute â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a leaf, a seashell, a rock, then again â&#x20AC;&#x201C; outward and back, changing perspective.

We all need a little vision these days. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do what we can to support our eyes.

What is the best way to finance a new car?

Dealership vs. bank financing AUTOMOTIVE Q&A Hello Loyal Beaverton Readers!

O

ver the last couple of weeks, we have had a number of LQTXLULHV DERXW WKH EHVW ZD\ WR ¿nance a new or pre-owned vehicle.

As a professional broker, I have had a great amount of experience in this area and no matter what the internet says, I believe it is always WR WKH FXVWRPHU¶V EHQH¿W WR KDYH WKH GHDOHUVKLS DUUDQJH WKH ¿QDQFLQJ for the client. Plus, in many cases, the manufacturer is offering an incentivized interest rate.

So, in the event the client went to their bank or credit union, they would think they are getting great ¿QDQFLQJ EHFDXVH WKH\ DOVR EDQN there. Not true! In fact, this can lead to a mistake which could cost the customer thousands of dollars over the course of the loan.

Here are some facts about the way this really works in the world of car loans.

Financing Through the Dealer 'HDOHU DUUDQJHG ¿QDQFLQJ ZRUNV WKH VDPH ZD\ DV EDQN ¿QDQFLQJ² the only difference is that the dealer is doing the work on your behalf.

After you choose your vehicle, WKH GHDOHU ZLOO KDYH \RX ¿OO RXW D credit application, which they’ll submit to multiple lenders. This allows you to compare rates and terms to choose the best option for you.

In some cases, however, a dealer may negotiate a higher interest rate with you than what the lender offers and take the difference as compensation for KDQGOLQJ WKH ¿QDQFLQJ ,Q RWKHU words, you might not be getting all the information you need to make the best decision.

In general, you can usually get lower interest rates on a new car through a dealer than on a used car.

In fact, some dealers may offer proPRWLRQDO ¿QDQFLQJ RQ EUDQG QHZ models, including rates as low as 0% APR to those who qualify.

Financing Through a Bank %DQN ¿QDQFLQJ LQYROYHV JRLQJ directly to a bank or credit union to get a car loan. In general, you’ll get preapproved for a loan before you ever set foot in the dealership. The lender will give you a quote and a letter of commitment that you can take to the dealer, saving yourself some time when

Depending on the bank or credit union, you can apply for preapproval online or at a local branch. You may need to provide information about the vehicle, which could cause some delays if you’re not yet sure what you want.

The rate offer from a bank or credit union will be the true interest rate and doesn’t include any markup, which can happen when you work with a dealer. In general, though, the rate quote you get isn’t D ¿QDO RIIHU :KHQ \RX KHDG WR WKH dealership to purchase the car, the lender will run a hard credit check and review your full credit report before approving your application and determining your loan rates.

depending on whether you’re buying a new or used car. Some banks and credit unions have limits on the vehicle’s age and mileage, and new vehicles may qualify for lower interest rates in general.

A professional broker, for example, understands not only WKH ¿QDQFLQJ SURFHVV KDYLQJ JRQH through the process hundreds of times), but he also knows the dealerships and the tricks of the trade.

There is something new in the travel industry: Electronic Travel Authorizations What you need to know about ETAs

The 27 European countries that are part of the ETA: • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

TRAVEL

M

ost travelers think of “ETA” as the universal shorthand for “estimated time of arrival,” but this well-known abbreviation is getting a new meaning: Electronic Travel Authorization.

Though it may sound unfamiliar today, it won’t for long because 27 countries around the world have already adopted ETA entry requirements. This new authorization is already required by some countries, whether travelers are staying in the destination or simply passing through.

In New Zealand, for example, even cruise passengers are required to apply for the NZeTA authorization, which is valid for two years for multiple entries of up to 90 days per visit.

Similarly, Australia’s ETA is mandatory for all visitors and, although the ETA is free, there is

an online application and a service charge. Even though the process has been made easier with an online application, it’s best not to wait until the last minute to secure any necessary visas.

Until now, visitors from the United States and 60 other countries have enjoyed visa-free access to countries in the European

20 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 10 - Issue 11 (November 2020)

Union. However, that changes beginning January 1, 2021, when an ETA will be required of travelers of every age who plan to visit EU member nations (referred to as the Schengen Zone).

The new authorization, known as an ETIAS visa waiver, is easy to secure, thanks to an online application and nominal fee that

Austria Belgium Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary

• • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Ireland Italy Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Poland Portugal Romania Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden

can be paid via credit or debit card. Although you’ll need a valid passport to apply, you won’t need to show proof of upcoming travel plans. The ETIAS are valid for three years, subject to your adherence to its terms (including spending no more than 90 days within every 180-day period in Schengen Zone countries), so

having one at the ready is essential for those who love a spontaneous getaway.

According to the European Commission, the ETIAS’s goals include speeding up border crossings; improve security, and enhancing the EU’s mission “to identify any security or irregular migratory risks posed by Visa-exempt visitors”. While it adds another step to the travel planning process, it’s hard to argue with an international initiative designed to enhance security.

t took a few weeks to prepare, but autumn swiftly ushered in harsh winds and rain that preceded chilling nights.

For me, October is an exciting month for one reason: the World Series. One aspect about this year that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappointed me was baseball (and the fact that it was one of the few major sports that has gone throughout its season without any problems).

Baseball is one of my favorite sports to watch for a couple of reasons. First, its rich history, which spans back over 150 years, is unparalleled in American sports and makes the game all the more captivating to watch.

Players are still challenging records that were set several decades prior by those who were immortalized at the hall of fame.

Another aspect of baseball that makes it one of best is the fact that it is an extremely international sport. Leagues in Japan, Korea, and Mexico are

extremely popular and contribute to their respective countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; love for baseball. Watching leagues in other countries gives me quite an insight into their sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture and at least when it comes to baseball, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to appreciate the differences in strategy.

I am also interested in an aspect of baseball that many people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t consider often.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mental side of the sport.

Intimidation, for example, takes part in every sport, but the battle between pitcher and batter is all about seeing who EUHDNV ÂżUVW The pressure of being on a professional baseball team is all about performing at the

right time, no matter how good one is. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game of endurance, and the ability to perform under pressure.

To me, watching baseball is about looking at the details and appreciating the complexities within a simple sport.

Gratitude is a choice And key to surviving during hard times SPIRITUAL ESSAY This quote comes from thirteenth century mystic, Meister Eckhart: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.â&#x20AC;?

I

admit, I do not always feel grateful. If I were forced WR NHHS WUDFN , PD\ ÂżQG WKDW I pray the â&#x20AC;&#x153;help meâ&#x20AC;? prayer more than the â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? prayer (that is when I pray at all). That is a lot to admit but why not be honest? These are interesting times. The last thing any of us might feel is gratitude when our lives have

been turned upside-down and our future is uncertain.

Here is the catch. Gratitude is not an emotion. Gratitude is a choice. Gratitude is a discipline. Gratitude is a habit.

That is why parents instruct their children in the art of â&#x20AC;&#x153;please and thank you.â&#x20AC;? Get in the practice and one day it will become second nature.

The cynic in us might respond: What about the injustices and the suffering, mine and others? Do we just be grateful and ignore that? What LV WKH EHQHÂżW" Here is the bottom line.

Gratitude is about survival. We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to do anything about injustice and suffering if we do not take a daily inventory of what is positive in our lives. As we make the

choice to practice gratitude we will discover that we have many items in our personal inventory to help us face our challenges.

Fountain Work Planned For Winter The fountain is a popular destination during the summertime; however, the frequency of required shutdowns for maintenance is frustrating for both the public, who want to use the facility, and city staff, who must spend excessive hours working on the facility rather than other critical water projects.

A

s the days grow shorter DQG WKH LQIDPRXV 3DFLÂżF Northwest rain returns, the Beaverton Police Department wants to remind drivers AND PEDESTRIANS to practice safe habits when traveling.

Last year, there were 6,590 pedestrian deaths in the United States â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the highest in 30 years. Since 2009, pedestrian fatalities have been on the rise.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s after a steady decline since the mid 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

While reasons for each death vary, distracted driving and walking is a likely culprit in many of these cases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drivers and pedestrians are both more distracted now than in years past,â&#x20AC;? according to Sergeant Bryan Dalton of the Beaverton Police Department

Sergeant Dalton says it creates a deadly combination when both drivers and pedestrians are distracted by their mobile devices.

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfectly legal to use your mobile device while walking down the street, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always the best decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a pedestrian, if a crash occurs and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struck by a

vehicle, you may not have been at fault but you are the one who will be injured.â&#x20AC;?

The Beaverton Police Department aggressively targets distracted drivers citing 1,234 individuals in 2019 for operating a motor vehicle while using a mobile electronic device.

Nevertheless, pedestrians are still being struck and killed.

Sergeant Dalton asks pedestrians to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay alert and be a defensive traveler. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be distracted by your cell phone and follow the rules of the road.â&#x20AC;?

The Beaverton Police Department wishes everyone safe travels as we head into the holiday season.

With winter coming, the weather could be life-threatening to people without housing. In collaboration with Just Compassion East Washington County and Washington County, the city will be opening the Beaverton Severe Weather Shelter (BSWS) in a more robust way than before.

This year, the shelter will serve 30 adults experiencing homelessness per night, providing a warm, safe space to shelter-in-place and work on a transition to housing. The shelter is anticipated to open at the Beaverton Community Center (12350 SW Fifth St.) on

To best maintain the health and safety of everyone involved, the shelter will stay open 24 hours a day/seven days a week during this period and will follow precautions for the COVID-19 pandemic.

The continuous opening will guarantee beds for enrolled guests at the shelter and more opportunity for referrals to needed social services.

The shelter is one of several shelters for adults operating within Washington County with the goal of ensuring no one dies of exposure this winter.

ust like every other conference this fall, Washington County’s Family Caregiver Conference will take place virtually for health and safety reasons. Instead of a one-day conference like the past 16 years, the Heart, Humor and Hope Family Caregiver Virtual Learning Series will be offered in separate workshops over several weeks in November, which is National Family Caregivers Month.

“Of course, we are disappointed we can’t hold our traditional in-person conference this year,” said Shannon Baggerman, program coordinator with the Washington County Disability, Aging and Veteran Services Family Caregiving Program. “However, we hope this year’s format might allow caregivers who normally wouldn’t be able to VSDUH DQ HQWLUH GD\ WR EHQH¿W from attending some of the workshops.”

The workshops are intended for unpaid family and friend caregivers. The sessions will take place over Zoom. The topics, languages, dates and times are:

The Dementia Dance: Taking care of you and your care partner during COVID-19 • Tuesday, November 3, 12:30-2 p.m. (English) Family Caregivers’ Challenges and Coping Strategies: Keeping silent can hurt the relationship and delay recovery • Thursday, November 5, 10-11:30 a.m. (Vietnamese), 1-2:30 p.m. (Cantonese), 3-4:30 p.m. (Korean) Tips for Tough Conversations: Family communication, needing help at home, driving concerns • Tuesday, November 10, 2-3:30 p.m. (English) Developing Emotional Intelligence: The path to effective communication • Thursday, November 12,

10-11:30 a.m. (Spanish) Honoring Your Loved One • Tuesday, November 17, 2-3:30 p.m. (English) What’s So Funny: The importance of humor in caregiving • Thursday, November 19, 10-11:30 a.m. (English) Creative Engagement at Home • Tuesday, November 24, 2-3:30 p.m. (English) All workshops are free.

Registration is required.

ualatin Valley Creates (TVC), Washington County, Oregon’s leading arts service organization is working to grow

Winning design by Jud Turner, “Wishing Bench” to be installed in downtown Forest Grove.

the region’s public art portfolio with a delightful new twist – music-making seating.

The premise behind the new works are that they are “functional art” that is dynamic, unique, engaging and, as the title suggests, people can sit on them. We received 33 design submissions by 15 artists. The review panel, comprised of representatives

from the four districts where the art work will be installed (Beaverton, Tigard, Forest Grove, Cedar Mill) paid special attention to each submission and the manner in which the bench would actually be “played” with; whether plunked, bonked, and/or cranked, the panelists remarked that they wanted each design to be clearly distinct from others

Trapped during a family visit to Japan during World War II, Iva was forced to do broadcasts for Radio Tokyo because of her American accent.

After the war, she was IDOVHO\ LGHQWLÂżHG DV 7RN\R 5RVH sentenced to ten years and losing her citizenship. It was not until much later in her life that this travesty of justice was recognized and that she was pardoned.

The Chess Playing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kâ&#x20AC;? Brothers Super kids learning a super game LEARNING CHESS

G

o to any scholastic chess tournament and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kâ&#x20AC;? brothers, Kavish (age 14) and Krish (age 9) Patel. They have been taking chess lessons and playing for 3 years.

Now, the COVID-19 virus has altered some of their chess plans. Kavish had hoped to be on the Jesuit High School chess team, playing in the high school chess league, but it now meets through chess. com instead of in person.

He has to compete remotely in on-line chess tournaments and in Skype games with friends.

What Kavish likes

about chess is that it taught him to stop and think more carefully when facing problems, including with other activities like robotics.

Krish attends Montessori School of Beaverton on-line. He also plays chess on-line and with friends. He is part of a Lego Robotics team. They both miss going to tournaments and seeing and playing with friends but they are having fun taking chess lessons on Skype with Coach Larry.
