MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR

Hello Beaverton! Welcome to another issue of The Beaverton Resource Guide. As a full-color, monthly newspaper that’s dedicated to the positive aspects of our community, you can be sure to find interesting and uplifting stories about what makes our city one of the best in the country (ranked #3 nationally for “Best Places to Raise a Family” by www.livibility.com, 2018).

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.

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.

Sincerely, Michael Wong (Managing Editor) PS. Don’t forget to visit our website www.beavertonresourceguide.com.

’m excited to share with you this year’s State of the City address (3/29, noon). As a community, we’ve endured losses and learned how to keep going; faced challenges and adapted to new ways of being and doing; and we are still working towards recovery as we grow our resilience. I’m excited to share with you this year’s theme for State of the City: Beaverton Voices.

While it’s disappointing that we cannot be together in person, being 100% virtual means our capacity is limitless and the doors are wide open! You won’t want to miss this.

This year, some of the things we’re working on include affordable childcare, tenants’ right to cooling, advocating for infrastructure package funding for Beaverton projects, locating and breaking ground on our permanent year-round homeless shelter, and preparing to receive Afghan refugees. One thing you might not have heard about is our advocacy

work for veterans.

Right now, I’m working to help level the playing ¿HOG IRU YHWHUDQ EXVLQHVV owners in Oregon. There’s a federal program that allows businesses owned by disadvantaged groups to bridge the disparity gap by UHFHLYLQJ FHUWL¿FDWHV WKDW KHOS OHYHO WKH SOD\LQJ ¿HOG Currently, only Service-Disabled Veterans are eligible IRU WKRVH FHUWL¿FDWHV EXW , think they should be available to all veterans. Veteran business owners should be able to compete for big contracts more equitably.

I’m meeting with legislators on both sides of the aisle to do the right thing for our courageous service members ZKR VDFUL¿FH VR PXFK

Lacey Beaty was elected Beaverton’s Mayor in 2020. Prior to serving as Mayor, she served for six years on Beaverton City Council.

ave you ever wanted to bike or walk into downtown, but felt like the streets were not safe enough for your kids or people you love? Have you ever walked or rolled across Farmington or Canyon and felt an increase in anxiety or fear due to the cars speeding through the intersection next to you?

Most of us have experienced something similar. And that’s why are so excited to share the opportunity to envision how our

downtown streets can be safer, more equitable, and more sustainable for everyone.

The City of Beaverton is welcoming feedback on the Downtown Loop project that will enhance Watson

arch is often associated ZLWK ³JUHHQ´ 7KH ¿UVW day of Spring (3/2/2022) and St. Patrick’s Day (3/17/2022) are two reasons why. The greening of leaves and yards indicating that mowing season is just around the corner!

Spring-cleaning involves clearing out the old and making way for new and fresh. While yard waste can be composted into something useful, it is a little trickier to determine which “hard goods” (such as furnishings, clothing, and other personal items) are destined to the dump or if there is a way to give them a new life at a new home.

Green Allies within our Chamber Partners

Ridwell is a newcomer to our area and provides an inbetween recycling service.

While most of the service providers in our area will accept paper, some plastics, metal, and glass, Ridwell

picks up those extra items WKDW DUH VWLOO OHIW SODVWLF ¿OP (such as shrink and bubble wrap), lightbulbs, household batteries. With an additional add-on, they will also pick up Styrofoam peanuts and FRROHUV ÀXRUHVFHQW OLJKW tubes, and clear plastic clamshell contains (such as deli, fruit & berry, or egg containers).

When used in conjunction

with local trash haul and recycle programs, very little FDQ HQG XS LQ WKH ODQG¿OO Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette is the RI¿FLDO QDPH IRU RXU ORFDO Goodwill store. They are the go-to for many when it comes to bulk donations of usable household goods and clothing. They support our community both in terms of accepting donations, but also

Washington County Habitat ReStore is a “home improvement store and donation center that sells new and gently used furniture, home decor, appliances, building materials, OLJKW ¿[WXUHV DQG PRUH WR the public at discounted prices.” All proceeds support local Habitat for Humanity homebuilding programs.

Citing from their website, pdxrestore.org, The ReStore diverted over 6K tons of reusable material from ODQG¿OOV DQG HDUQHG RYHU . by recycling metal, paint, and other materials. Despite being in a pandemic, they logged over 700 volunteers who gave more than 25K hours in the region this past year.

Assistance League of Greater Portland Thrift and Consignment Shop offers SURJUDPV WKDW EHQH¿W FKLOGUHQ and victims of violence.

They also offer a scholarship for students pursuing a trade

school education. The way these programs are funded are by operating their Thrift and Consignment shops (as well as grants, events, and donations). Our branch has been serving the community since 1961. If you have some nicer pieces, too good to toss but not enough to host your own sale, think about connecting with the Assistance League. Not only will you make a little money on your discard, you’ll also be helping the community.

All the proceeds stay right here in our area!

Business is no different than dating!

Do you make your customers feel special?

how is your relationship?

BUSINESS ADVICE

D

id you ever meet someone at a party, in a bar, in a college class...and they got your heart racing? Maybe even took your breath away?

Exciting, right?

7KHQ FDPH WKH ¿UVW GDWH and that too was exciting. In fact, it even went well. More excitement!!

Here are 2 post first date scenarios: 1. The next day, or soon thereafter, you got the call (or text) that told you how much fun they had...thanked you for a wonderful time...and that they cannot wait to see you

again. How’d it make you feel?

2. OR...NO call. NO text.

POOF...they’re gone.

Ghosted! How’d THAT make you feel?

Business is no different than dating. Every time a customer walks in, gets on your website or calls you...it’s the identical scenario as meeting someone at a party, in a bar or in a college

4 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 12 - Issue 03 (March 2022)

class. In this case, they thought you were attractive! They chose you! They made the decision to walk across the room, take a chance and say “hello”!

Or they took the chance to grab the phone, call, and tell you they want you!

WOW! How exhilarating!

So what do you do?

What are you known for?

Scenario 1? Or number 2?

Is every ounce of your being focused on showing them a good time? Do you make them feel special? Do you stay in contact with them and show them your gratitude and excitement?

OR do you drop the ball and essentially tell them they don’t matter?

Here is the difference between dating and being in business. Personal dating happens occasionally.

Business dating: You get to “date” your customers every... single...day!

So, from sales to customer service: Get your A-Game on! From the excitement of seeing them...to engaging them energetically...to showing them a good time...to calling them afterwards thanking them, to telling them how much you appreciate them and cannot wait

to see them again.

You get to live this every day! Be ready! Be good at it!

Love it! It’s exciting! Build long lasting, powerful, enriching relationships. Heck...it’s just your business we’re talking about!

The bark was also used for a large variety of medicinal purposes. While these parts of the Crabapple are still used today, the small tree has become more popular as an ornamental plant and grown in parks and gardens.

This native is Oregon’s only native crabapple and can be distinguished from east coast crabapples by the egg to oblong-shaped fruit.

The acidic and juicy fruit, called pomes, are tiny (10 mm long) and red and/or yellow. The pomes are edible to humans, though their particularly sour taste requires considerable sweetening when using them in jams and jellies.

ANSWER: The answer is no. You may not drive in opposing lanes of traffic, even for a short distance. The following ORS’s control the movement on a public roadway.

• ORS 811.370 (Failure to drive within lane) states in part “a person commits the offense of failure to drive within a lane if the person is operating a vehicle upon a roadway that is divided into two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic and the driver does not operate the vehicle as nearly as practicable entirely within a single lane”.

• ORS 811.295 (Failure to drive on right) supports the above: “A person commits the offense of failure to drive on the right if the person is operating a vehicle on a roadway of sufficient width and the person does not drive on the right half of the roadway.”

Ever been stretched by a pro?

ANSWER: Stopping cars can be one of the most routine and dangerous activities an officer can do. For that reason, the location of the stop is anticipated by the officer with his and your safety in mind. Sometimes a driver will continue on in an attempt to choose a safer spot but this only negatively impacts the process, requiring the officer to engage in more radio exchanges with dispatch. So pull over as soon as possible and let the officer change the stop location if he/she desires.

Q: As a conservative driver, when making a left turn onto a four-lane highway (ie. Farmington West to Murray South), I would prefer to just go to the right lane so no one is on my rear bumper trying to pass.

Am I correct that I have to go into that nearest left lane first?

ANSWER: Your assumption is correct and it doesn’t matter if you are turning right or left onto a multi-lane roadway you must turn into the lane nearest the direction you are proceeding. If you desire to change lanes then rules of distance and signaling apply.

Ear Infections, Colic & Constipation Taking Control of Your Child’s Health HEALTH

A

s a practicing chiropractor for over 30 years, I have seen the struggles of many families as they deal with sickness in their children. As a parent of two grown children, I have experienced various trials myself that help me better serve the families in my practice.

If you have children, or plan to have children, this article is for you!

There are many health issues that children face. We are going to address three common conditions, ear infections, colic, and constipation.

Ear infections are one of the most common reasons a parent may bring their child to the doctor. Some studies suggest that as many as 5 out of 6 children will have at least one ear infection before the

Be sure to check for ear infections age of three. Interestingly, the American Academy of Pediatrics discourages the immediate use of antibiotics and should only be used in the event of a bacterial infection. By using other natural treatments, children may overcome their ear infections and avoid the

side-effects associated with antibiotics. Improvement of ear infections with chiropractic adjustments was noted in the Journal of Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics.

Having a child that suffers with colic creates stress on the entire household! Inconsolable

crying for hours each day can put the whole family on edge.

One of the biggest issues as a parent is not knowing how to help your struggling child. Add to that the fact that the exact cause of colic remains unknown and we broach the edge of utter hopelessness. There are some studies that indicate that colic can be a digestive issue, or stress on the nervous system.

A randomized control study conducted by the Mayo Clinic noted that spinal manipulation LV EHQH¿FLDO LQ UHGXFLQJ V\PStoms associated with colic.

The last condition of concern for today is that of constipation. A simple way to consider this would be a comparison to a train station. If three trains come into a station every day, but only one train leaves every day – or worse every week – how ‘backed up’ will the station be? Now consider a young child eating 3 to 6 times a day, but only having a bowel movement once a day, or week… You get

Who me? @#$%&! Stressed OUT?!

Don’t forget to play and laugh

How do you respond to stress?

HEALTH

I

don’t know about you, but the last two years have been incredibly stressful. Pandemic, work, my teenage kid, loss of easy social gatherings. My house seems like it is in constant turmoil. I feel like AGH! a lot of the time.

We can’t change or hurry ourselves through these times.

What we can change is how we respond to stress in our lives.

Not all stress is bad. Some stress actually stimulates our brains, increases our abilities to perform, enhances our immunity. Many athletes know WKLV DQG XVH LW WR JRRG EHQH¿W But too much or prolonged stress uses up energy, affects our memory, our libido, our weight, triggers illness.

The adrenal glands are in charge of stress response. They

www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

produce a hormone called cortisol and the neurotransmitters called epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. (noradrenaline).

These substances are released in response to signals from the brain and other organs to help us utilize glucose (sugar), improve our attention, increase our heart rate, our lung capacity.

Normally, if you are confronted with a stressful situation -like a saber tooth tiger- your heart rate increases,

blood pumps into your muscles and away from your digestive organs, you become hyperaware and focused, the fuel that you need for action is released and you either run RU ¿JKW 2QFH WKH VLWXDWLRQ LV over, things gradually return to normal and you go home, you eat and relax.

In chronic stress, these hormones are released, but they don’t have a resolution. Your boss is mad at you, your kid is driving you nuts, some idiot GULYHU MXVW ÀLSSHG \RX RII \RXU

Clearly, things are out of balance. Things need to shift. But how?

Exercise helps. It uses up excessive cortisol, lowers blood sugars, etc. If you’re burnt out (too much stress for too long) you may need to start slow and work up.

Meditate or pray. Calm the mind. Learn to let go. There are lots of guided meditation apps out there. You could color or

Sleep is restorative.

Herbs like holy basil (tulsi), rhodiola and ashwaganda are adaptogens and help the body adapt to stress.

And don’t forget to play and laugh. Endorphins are released and we are reminded that life is beautiful and funny and an adventure, even when things are challenging.

Don’t wait to plan your estate It’s the gift that keeps on giving SENIOR LIVING

I

t is easy to think that we still have time: time to make a will, create a trust, and then something happens. A parent, relative or friend passes, and you are the executor of their estate. Then, you discover why it is important to have a plan in place.

Although I was not the executor of my father’s estate, I was to someone who was like a second father. Because he and his wife did not have children, and I became ‘family’ over the years, I was honored with the role to be executor of both their trusts, as they each had their own. , H[SHULHQFHG ¿UVW KDQG what it entailed in the execution of an estate plan. It requires a handful of visits to WKH ODZ\HU¶V RI¿FH QXPHUous communications with the ¿QDQFLDO DGYLVRU WULSV WR WKH bank and months to complete.

For my ‘second’ mom, being in her 80’s, it was emotional and

exhausting and to have me by her side was priceless.

What was so important, was because there was a trust, we knew exactly the desires of my second dad and were able to implement them, honoring him and those he loved. If he had not taken the time to put his affairs in order, his estate would have gone into probate, adding time, costing money, and taking an even more stressful and emotional toll on his widow.

After the process was completed, his nieces and nephews were very blessed: it made sure that his home would be well taken care of; it provided for his wife; and it saved on estate taxes. Planning is for those left behind and is a gift that can truly keep on giving. The emotional healing process of losing a loved one is hard enough.

L

ike everyone, you’d like to enjoy a long, healthy, independent life. But the future is unknowable, so it’s a good idea to prepare for a variety of outcomes – including the possible need for long-term care.

Consider the following: • Someone turning age 65 today has almost a 70% chance of eventually needing some type of longterm care service, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

• The median annual cost for a private room in a nursing KRPH LV DERXW DQG LW¶V DOPRVW IRU home health aide services, according to the insurance company Genworth.

Medicare also may cover very few of these costs. Consequently, it’s a good idea to include potential long-term care costs in your planning. While everyone’s situation is

different, you may want to budget for two to three years’ worth of long-term care expenses.

But how can you prepare for these costs?

Essentially, you’ve got three options: You could self-insure. If you would like to cover the costs of long-term care out of your own pocket, you’ll need to consider a few issues: How will these potential costs affect your family?

How might your other goals be affected, or even altered, by your decision to self-insure? Will you have to adjust your investment mix or designate certain investments to help achieve your self-funding objectives? None of these questions should dissuade you from trying to self-fund for long-term care, but they can help you clarify the

either long-term care insurance or a life insurance policy that SURYLGHV ORQJ WHUP FDUH EHQH¿WV LQ DGGLWLRQ WR D GHDWK EHQH¿W Before obtaining either type of policy, though, you’ll want to know exactly what the policies cover and when they kick in.

Also, be aware that the younger you are when you buy a policy, the lower the premiums. On the other hand, if you buy a straight long-term care policy when you’re young, you could end up paying premiums for many years for coverage you may never need. $ ¿QDQFLDO DGYLVRU FDQ KHOS \RX evaluate all your insurance options and recommend which one, if any, is appropriate for your situation.

You could combine self-insurance with an insurance policy. You could plan to self-insure for long-term care for a limited time – perhaps one year’s worth of anticipated costs – and then buy enough insurance for additional expenses.

This technique could involve some juggling on your part, in

terms of where to direct your money, but it might prove to be a workable compromise between self-insurance and putting all your long-term care resources into an insurance policy.

Which of these methods is right for you? There’s no one “right” answer for everyone. But whichever route you choose, you’ll be helping to protect yourself – and

possibly your grown children or other family members – from the potentially huge costs of long-term care. And that protection can help brighten your outlook throughout your retirement.

he best advice I can give right now is to stay away from new cars. In fact, the shortage of vehicles has continued to worsen clearly due to the microchip shortage and the situation is not supposed to get better for another 2 years. To deal with this shortage, some dealerships are adding anyZKHUH IURP N DGGLWLRQDO mark up on new vehicles.

Last month, I wrote about the lack of new vehicles so this month, let’s look into the used car market. Is it really that bad?

Yes, it really is.

Used cars can be more expensive than new cars Here we go folks. Here is what has happened as a result of

little to no new vehicles available. Used vehicles of all kinds became more appealing. This caused prices to become ridiculous at best. In fact, used vehicle pricing has soared to around N DERYH .%% UHWDLO YDOXHV LI not more. Pre-owned vehicles that are 3 years old or less can even be priced above its original MSRP! Dealers everywhere are VFUDPEOLQJ WR ¿QG DQ\WKLQJ WR put out on their lots and keep WKH FDVK ÀRZ FRPLQJ Vehicle auctions have become war zones with bidders driving prices well above retail as every dealer struggles for inventory. Dealers are even

calling their previous clients to buy back vehicles at unbelievable prices. Auction prices are up as much as 52% over 2019 prices.

No deals to be had As opposed to previous car buying experiences, if you go to a dealership today, you’ll ¿QG \RXUVHOI IDFLQJ RII DJDLQVW not just the salesperson on the other side of the desk, but the horde of other potential customers angling to snipe your car of choice right out from under your nose! Forget looking for the best price or the perfect color, you’ve now got

to consider how quickly you can get to the dealer to sell you a car that close to what you wanted. Sadly, now buyers are considering and buying brands they would never have considered before. In any market where supply has shrunk and demand has surged, it’s unrealLVWLF WR H[SHFW SULFHV WR UHÀHFW the kind of incentives and low interest rates that were common pre-pandemic. Dealers simply have no incentive to slash prices or offer discounts when turning over what little inventory they have.

So again, if you do not have to purchase a new or used

vehicle, don’t. Now is not the time.

According to the latest survey, WKH DYHUDJH \HDU ¿[HG rate mortgage has risen from 3.22% at the start of the year to 3.55% as of last week.

t my high school, I am required to take a Faith Formation class during the entirety of my freshmen year. With every new quarter, we delve into different elements of world religions and philosophies. Quarter three has long past started, meaning we have begun to look at miracles.

Ever since I was a child, the bedtime ritual of staring out the window has always come naturally. I stare at the stars, the moon, and blinking lights of airplanes that I mistake for stars. :LWKRXW IDLO HYHU\ QLJKW , ¿QG myself wondering how the world came to be. This is the point where my teacher would say I’m touching on “deep theology.” But I really do wonder how the creation of the milky way, Earth, countries, you name it, has all led to me being here.

Everything intrigues me: the war that was fought to displace my grandparents so they ended up in the United States, the fact my parents met, and how my mother decided to push my bed against WKH ZLQGRZ ZKHQ , ZDV ¿YH

And the positive impact they’ll have on the future

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not claiming that the placement of my bed is a miracle, but isn’t the entire notion amazing, that billions of things happened in perfect chronological order so that one person could arrive in this world? It’s a simple idea when I take a step back: all of it is a miracle.

Coming out of February— “the month of love”—it feels appropriate to romanticize everyday life. Days run faster when I push away from the dreary thoughts of mundane life, instead striving to land myself in a headspace that fully supports the idea that every day is a miracle.

It restores my energy on days when I have no rehearsals for the upcoming musical, or days when I don’t grab bubble tea with my friends. It romanticizes the days

when there’s no one to engage with in the house. So, I will continue to believe I am here because of several miracles falling into line, if only to remind myself my own life is full of them.

March is Women’s History Month

It’s a time to put extra focus on women’s history and all the ways in which women have shaped the world. A time to recognize the issues that affect women and the enormous impacts that women have had on every aspect of the world.

One of the most important issues to discuss in relation to women’s history is the historical underrepresentation of women in government.

Changes after women began voting in Oregon included pensions for single mothers, the abolishment of the death penalty, regulations to ensure safe milk, and more funds used on public health.

Women voting resulted in many significant changes because it was now much easier for them to have their voices heard in government.

While Women’s History Month is a good time to put extra energy into recognizing the accomplishments of women,

it’s not enough to think about it for one month of the year. Great progress has been made, and great accomplishments have been achieved, but there is still much more to do.

It will take effort and dedication from people across the country and the world, but if that is given, we can create a world that honors women’s history as it should be honored - which will have incredible, positive impacts on the future.

Fractures from falls are a leading cause of disability Take action to limit hazards & avoid falls

Tips to PRevent falling injuries

PUBLIC SAFETY

A

s people grow older, the consequences of a fall grow more serious. Unintentional falls are the leading cause of injury deaths for adults ages 65 and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

They are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries and account for more than 95 percent of hip fractures. In addition, fractures from falls are a leading cause of disability and often result in entering a nursing home.

As of Nov. 30, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue crews had been dispatched to 6,465 reports of falls in 2021. That’s the equivalent of 19 falls a day.

Ground-level falls are one of the most concerning type of medical calls TVF&R firefighters and paramedics respond to because we know

• Exercise regularly and eat nutritious meals to fuel your body.

• Consider exercise programs such as yoga, tai chi, walking, and swimming, which improve stability, strength, and balance.

Remove existing hazards

many aging adults struggle to recover from them.

Most falls happen in the home and can be avoided.

Factors such as poor lighting, narrow stairs, and slippery surfaces can increase the chances of a fall. In addition, problems with glare, depth perception, tiredness, or dizziness from prescription medications contribute to falls.

Research conducted by Yale University showed that older adults are also most at risk of falling when they fail to use handrails on stairs, reach for objects overhead, and climb on

chairs or ladders.

TVF&R reminds seniors and children of older adults to take the following precautions to help prevent a fall injury.

• Have your vision checked and replace eyeglasses as needed.

Downtown Parks and Open Space Planning Effort Underway Exciting things have been happening in downtown Beaverton. New housing, diverse restaurants and the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts are making it a vibrant place.

It’s time to plan for the additional parks and open spaces we need in our downtown. The city is partnering with Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) on a new downtown parks and open space framework.

We’ve seen the magic shared volunteers with the cleaning supplies needed to get started.

In the time since Glasby started cleaning her neighborhood, she’s also encouraged 40 other families at her school to join the organization. Adopt One Block said in the 15 months since the organization began, more than 5,000 volunteers have signed up across

What unique design features or amenities do we need? How do we make the spaces welcoming, LQFOXVLYH DQG UHÀHFWLYH RI RXU full community?

The city and THPRD will spend much of 2022 developing this new plan, with strategies to achieve downtown Beaverton’s future as a parks and open space magnet.

Mediterranean Quinoa Bowls with Roasted Fennel and Black-Eyed Peas (Makes 4 bowls)

FARMERS MARKET

“I’m always on the hunt for new ways to shake up the grain bowl,” says Marketing Director, Kate Laubernds.

“I’m fortunate to have two young children that love vegetables so grain bowls are a staple of our weekly meal plan.” Kate shared her go-to recipe for the summer for a Mediterranean-inspired grain bowl. Pair with pita bread or chips and your choice of hummus from The Hummus Stop. You can also make a lemon tahini sauce to drizzle on top.

onger days mean an abundance of produce.

While it’s not warm enough to see berries, tomatoes, or summer squash. We, at the market, relish in all the unsung heroes of the vegetable world, like rutabagas, mustard greens, and fennel. We were standing in front of a giant mound of gorgeous fennel at Riverland Family Farms booth last week when Farmer Inder Singh told us something we found shocking. He said that he sells more fennel wholesale than he does in his farmers’ markets. We speculated that this might be because people do not know how to use fennel so we vowed right there and then to change this because if customers are not eating fennel they are missing out!

The Basics: Fennel is a member of the carrot family although it is not a root vegetable.

It forms a thick bulb above ground from which thin stalks grow, topped off by feathery leaves which resemble dill. Every part of the fennel plant is edible. It

LEARNING CHESS

Pros & Cons of lighting sources #THESHUTTERBUG

Photography Lighting 101 What to use and what to avoid number of chess openings named after animals: the Rat, the Hippopotamus, the Snake, the Hedgehog, the Lion and the Vulture to name a few. There is even a chess line called the Monkey’s Bum! Maybe chess players should be kept out of the zoo. At least the wacky players!

A psychiatrist asked World Champion Mikail Tal to help him with a patient. The patient claimed that he was World Champion Tal. The real Tal played a match with the deluded man that ended in a draw! A few months later, at a tournament, the real Tal spotted the patient, and he told a friend that that was the person who would win the tournament. The ex-patient came in close to the bottom. He was cured! If I start to think and play like a World Champion, please don’t cure me!

Closer to home in Oregon, I have played a couple of players who were also a little different.

One painted himself blue, so you couldn’t see him, and wore a silver hard hat to keep the microwaves from affecting his thinking. He was a 6-time Oregon Chess Champion!

Normal chess players don’t stand a chance. To play great chess, maybe we should all go a little bit crazy.

Why learn chess? Simple: It’s a great mental workout that helps children perform well in the classroom. Chess is a logical game where kids have to plan ahead and adjust to new situations. But most of all, it’s fun!

Alexander Alekhine, the fourth World Champion, also won a tournament but lost a game to the person who came in last.

Alekhine stood up and shook the other player’s hand. Then he went to his hotel room and smashed all the furniture in the room and had to be moved to a new room.

Savielly Tartakover, a top grandmaster in the 1920s and 1930s, was playing in a tournament in Spain. The tournament had a free day when all the players went to the zoo. While the other players roamed around looking at the animals, Tartakover spent the day talking to an orangutan. On the trip back to the hotel the other players wanted to know what he was talking with the orangutan about. Tartakover told them that he was learning a new opening from the Orangutan.
