his summer, I had the opportunity to show out of state family members some of the beauty of Oregon and the Oregon coast. While swimming in the ocean with my brother, I realized how much I needed to feel the wildness of Earth and how much I have missed it, choosing instead to spend too PXFK WLPH ZLWK WKH DUWLÂżFLDO world of screens. This poem, “The Peace of Wild Thingsâ€? from Wendell Berry has been on my mind: The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives might be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

presence of still water.

And I feel above me the dayblind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

The Selected Poems of Wendell Berry (Counterpoint, 1999)

As the summer winds down and we make our way back to school and work with the inevitable siren summons of the screens, I am making the conscious choice to take time to be present to the wild things, even if just a walk in my neighborhood park. Perhaps you, like me, need a powerful antidote to the screens that so dominate our lives. Thus, may you, too, amidst LW DOO ÂżQG WKH SHDFH RI ZLOG things and be encouraged.

Beyond the pages of the script A community collaboration THEATRE

S

ome things go so perfectly together, we think of them in the same instant - like peanut butter and jelly or cookies and milk. And then there are things that may not usually show up in the same thought, but they make sense - like theatres and libraries. Think about it - both are places where you explore new worlds, are introduced to perspectives different than yours, and have conversations about what you experienced long after the curtain is drawn or last page turned. And in the case of Beaverton Civic Theatre and the Beaverton City Library, it’s a perfect match. “The Beaverton Civic Theatre has been an important partner of the Beaverton City /LEUDU\ IRU ÂżYH \HDUV E\ RIIHUing early literacy and related programming in conjunction with and in support of the library’s ongoing efforts in this

www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

important area,� says Glenn Ferdman, who was delighted to hear that there was a strong partnership between the theatre and the library already in place when he took the position of Library Director last year.

This collaboration has manifested in many engaging events for members of the community to attend, free of charge, that bring together literature and performance. Recently, BCT

& the library hosted a STEM activity party centering around space where attendees could meet the actresses portraying women who paved the way for modern astronomy and watch a scene from Silent Sky which explored their stories. And cast members from The Diary of Anne Frank had a meaningful experience with students to help them connect their Oregon Battle of the Books trivia

for Hana’s Suitcase to the real events of the Holocaust. The BCL also maintains book displays to encourage deeper learning around the themes and subjects covered in Beaverton Civic Theatre productions, which goes along with BCT’s mission to do works that aren’t simply performances on the stage, but which inspire greater community conversation and engagement.

0D\RU 'R\OH ZKR ÂżUVW KHOSHG %&7 ÂżQG LWV KRPH LQ the Beaverton City Library in 2009, is inspired by the symbiotic relationship that has emerged between the two organizations. "Beaverton Civic Theatre is a shining example of a partner that embraces community,â€? says Doyle, “It is exciting to see BCT and the Beaverton City Library collaborate on programming."

Beaverton Civic Theatre and the Beaverton Library are looking forward to even more collaborations in the future. Coming up this month is a CLUE mystery party for

tweens on September 21st and a Charlotte’s Web activity party for kids on September 22nd.

The exploration continues on September 25th with Guardian Games discussing why board games will always be around in a digital world, and on November 5th with a conversation on what it’s like to be a visitor in an unfamiliar place. Finally, they’ll wrap up the year with SnowFest, a family celebration of art and literacy from December 20th - 22nd at The Playhouse located at Cedar Hills Crossing. More information for all these programs is available at: beavertoncivictheatre.org

Come see “Clue“ The Musical at the Beaverton City Library Auditorium, September 27 through October 13, Fridays and Saturdays 7:30 and Sundays at 2pm.

BUSINESS ADVICE

M

indless creatures...stumbling around, unaware of the beauty of life around them.

I see it in public, I see it at restaurants, the movies and even the gym!

• PUBLIC: Just go to the mall, or downtown. Anywhere there is a crowd.

People walking, staring down at a phone. Unaware of their surroundings.

• RESTAURANTS: Couples and families at the dinner table...on social media or playing games...not engaging each other.

• MOVIES: An audience of blue glowing faces. Prior to the moving beginning...a perfect time to chat, laugh, etc... but people choose to stare at their phones instead.

• GYM: Yep, here too. I see it all the time. A prime opportunity to just sweat, improve, and absorb one’s physical surroundings. But in between sets or stations, people have to check their texts, peak at what might be happening in social media, etc...

It’s incredible! Incredibly sad! When I see people doing this (and yes, I do it too)... I call it: “Being Alone in Public”!

It’s a choice. You are choosing a screen over who you are with, and thus, you are silently sending them the message that your screen is more important (at that moment) than they are.

WARNING:

This is very powerful. It’s the way things used to be.

When someone important to you is with you...be with them!

Especially if you are a business owner or manager. Especially if you are interacting with customers.

If any of your people (employees, coworkers, customers) need you:

A stray cat gave birth to kittens under my deck.

What should I do?

ORS 811.028 requires a driver to stop and remain stopped for a pedestrian crossing the roadway in a marked or an unmarked crosswalk when the pedestrian is located

Do you need something other than Original Medicare?

W

ith school starting up again, many kids are looking forward to the return of fall sports. It’s a great way for kids to get exercise, and spend time with their friends doing something they love, but according to USA today, over 1.35 million kids a year sustain a sports injury that is severe enough to land them in the ER. One of the most insidious of these injuries is a minor traumatic brain injury (MTBI), better known as a concussion—in fact, an estimated 50% of these types of injuries are never reported to a doctor at all.

These injuries can be especially common in contact sports like football, rugby, or lacrosse, but can also occur whenever someone (child or adult) falls or receives a blow. The impact not only injures the brain, but also the brain stem which is housed in the neck/upper spinal column.

What most people don’t know is that the usual philosophy of “wait and see” regarding MTBIs can be more damaging in the long run.

Symptoms include: headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, loss of concentration

A and memory, insomnia, and can last anywhere from a week to over a year.

Not only can living with these symptoms interrupt daily life and ability to work, but having an untreated concussion makes you more likely to sustain additional concussions in the future.

This fall, don’t forget your safety equipment and if you suspect you or anyone you know has sustained an MTBI, please encourage them to get checked out by the Chiropractor on your healthcare team.

s you approach age 65, it is time to determine whether you will want additional health insurance to complement original Medicare. For most seniors who enroll in Medicare Parts A and B, buying an additional policy is a good idea. Original Medicare covers approximately 80% of the cost of many health care services and supplies. In that remaining 20%, there are substantial costs, deductibles, and co-pays that can easily cost you thousands of dollars each year in of out-of- pocket medical expenses.

A Medicare Supplement policy or a Medicare Advantage Plan provides coverage for those gaps in your Medicare coverage and can save you money and concern DERXW ¿QDQFHV You are eligible to purchase a policy at various times of the year, depending on your personal situation.

ging well is about adding more life to your years; not just adding more years to your life. We all want to “keep what we’ve got” (i.e. physical and mental health, independence, social connectedness, cognitive functioning) as we age. In an effort to do just that, some research suggests pet ownership may be helpful.

A report entitled “The Role of Pets in Human Healthy Active Aging, published by the Gerontological Society RI $PHULFD ¿QGV LQWHUDFWLQJ with animals has shown to: • Reduce some of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as lower systolic blood pressure, triglycerides and cholesterol, • Slow the progression of existing disease, and • Aid in survival of a cardiovascular event.

• Dog owners walk more minutes per week than non-dog owners, and were less sedentary. Dog owners, aged 71-82, were more than twice as likely to maintain their mobility over a 3-year period as compared to non-dog owners.

• People who share their homes with pets have healthier responses to stress. Pet ownership appears to mitigate the negative health consequences of stress.

• Owning a pet may reduce loneliness in older adulthood.

• Caring for a pet can help us to feel needed and can enhance our feeling of self-worth.

• Pets enhance feeling of

being protected and safe.

Dogs, in particular, appear to heighten feelings of safety and security.

• Animals act as a catalyst for positive social interaction among people. Pets have the ability to create connections that transcend social differences.

Have free time? Try cleaning the baseboards. These tend to collect dust and grime and can make your house feel young if done even twice a year. Have you taken a good luck at your cabinets?

Are there hand marks or cooking debris?

When we use something every day, it’s easy for our eyes to overlook those things and yet, they are there. Just a few minutes of wiping down the surfaces with lemon oil 3x a year will make them sparkle!

And one additional recommendation is to attack the closets in the home and make sure they are neatly arranged.

Why? Because once done, it is easier WR NHHS WKLV ZD\ DQG LW ZLOO RYHUÀRZ into keeping other areas of your home organized too. Look into getting some gadgets to keep jewelry in place, scarfs hanging neatly and more.

Why do these steps make a difference? Because when it is time to sell your home, in two or twenty years, having taken care of your house now will make it so much easier on you later.

People often say I will get to ‘it’ and yet the task is never performed. Maintaining a home is easy when it is done in small and consistent ways. Make the aging process easy on yourself and your home by doing a little every day.

Desire can be ďŹ&#x201A;amed into life Aging and Sexuality SENIOR LIVING

M

y husband and I just came back from celebrating our 32nd anniversary. And while we are certainly not as frisky as we once were, we still enjoy being intimate together. So, since I am still aglow with warm fuzzies, I thought I should write a bit about sexuality and aging.

Bodies change as we age.

Hormones decline, tissues sag and thin, our bodies FKDQJH Ă&#x20AC;XLGV DOWHU WKHLU consistency, all of these may affect our desire or our enjoyment of sex. But an AARP survey of men over 70 years old, 75% of men claimed to have few, if any erectile issues. And while a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lubrication decreases and vaginal walls

thin, her clitoris still works well, although she may require more foreplay.

Intimacy with or without sex is important. A lot of pleasure and satisfaction can be had from touching or holding each other and for some couples is enough.

Your health affects your desire and your ability to perform. Too much sugar or alcohol impedes your bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to make hormones and can affect the needed EORRG Ă&#x20AC;RZ WKDW DVVLVWV LQ arousal. A regular exercise practice and a diet rich in

lots of fresh vegetables and nutrient dense foods will help with circulation and improve stamina.

And while desire may not be what it once was, it can EH Ă&#x20AC;DPHG LQWR OLIH 7XUQ RII the TV and computer. Turn on some music. Light some candles. Do not be afraid to communicate with your partner about what is going on. Be romantic. Be creative. Try new positions or activities to help with arousal, erections and lubrication.

Sometimes topical lubricants or hormones can make huge differences. And if you are starting a new relationship, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to start an honest conversation about sexuality and intimacy.

Arousal starts in the brain.

Natural libido enhancers can help. L-arginine with citrulline improves stamiQD DQG EORRG Ă&#x20AC;RZ 3DQD[ ginseng can help with

energy. Gingko improves circulation. Maca root helps hormone balance. Lubricants can reduce discomfort. But if you are having a lot of GLIÂżFXOWLHV ZLWK DURXVDO RU libido, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to see your doctor. It may be a sign of a more serious health issue.

Whatever your age or your gender or your sexual orientation, relationships are challenging. Adding the stigma of aging to the equation adds to the challenge. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid. Quality time with your partner in and out of the bedroom can reduce stress and deepen your connection to each other.

Community Submission: Ask The Beaverton Car Guy

Why oxidation is enemy #1 for your carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paint Prevention is easy CAR GUY Hello Beaverton readers!

T

his month we have had questions about three related topics: vehicle paint oxidation, clear coat peeling and cloudy headlights. I have done some research and as it turns out, it all starts with oxidation.

What is oxidation?

When you mention the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;oxidationâ&#x20AC;? in reference to cars, most people will assume youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about rust. Yet savvy car enthusiasts know oxidation can be a big problem for a car long before rust becomes a possibility. Before oxygen molecules can begin to eat away at your car door panels, they start to work on its paint job.

7KH VFLHQWLÂżF H[SODQDWLRQ LV that oxygen molecules constantly cause other molecules nearby to give up electrons, which over time can cause whatever those molecules make up to disintegrate. When WKDW KDSSHQV WR WKH ÂżQLVK RQ your car, it begins as a minor change in appearance but can become a big problem if left unchecked.

How does oxidation affect car paint?

The effects of oxidation on your carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paint job are

QRWLFHDEOH DW ÂżUVW DV D VOLJKWO\ duller appearance. As it progresses, the surface of the paint begins to fade and the color wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look as vibrant as when you bought it. Heavier oxidation results in a dull, chalky surface as the paint continues to deteriorate.

How does oxidation affect the clear coat?

Finally, the oxidation will claim the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear coat, causing patches of paint to dissolve permanently. This exposes bare metal to the air and begins the oxidation process, leading to rust. Although oxidation can be removed in its earlier stages, once the clear coat is gone and the paint begins to come off, you have only two options: repaint the car completely or kiss it goodbye.

20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 9 - Issue 9 (September 2019)

Cleaning up oxidation Although oxidation is unavoidable, it is treatable. Oxidation can be bad for your car if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left unchecked, but forWXQDWHO\ LWÂśV QRW WKDW GLIÂżFXOW WR deal with. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever waxed or polished your car, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already more than experienced enough to remove oxidation IURP \RXU FDUÂśV ÂżQLVK ,I \RX havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waxed or polished your car, nowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to start before oxidation becomes a bigger problem than an afterQRRQÂśV ZRUN FDQ Âż[ To remove oxidation from your carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exterior, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need D VSHFLÂżFDOO\ IRUPXODWHG R[Ldation removal product. These come in polishing compounds for removing light oxidation and rubbing compounds for

removing heavier oxidation.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to park your car in a shaded area where the temperature is between 70- and 75-degrees Fahrenheit, so your garage will most likely be the best place.

First, wash your car thoroughly to make sure all dust and dirt is removed from the ÂżQLVK DQG OHW LW GU\ FRPSOHWHO\ Apply the oxidation removal product gently to a small area, ZRUN LW LQWR WKH ÂżQLVK DQG remove it quickly with a clean cloth. Continue to do so until all signs of oxidation have been removed from the paint. Once they have, wax your car to help protect the paint from future oxidation. Headlights also can become oxidized, so be sure to polish them with a special cleaner for headlights.

Prevent and Protect Once you remove oxidation from your carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paint job, your next focus should be on preventing oxidation from

getting out of hand. The good news is that this is relatively easy as long as you stay on top of it. Waxing your car once a month will help keep a protective layer between \RXU FDUÂśV ÂżQLVK DQG WKH DLU Keeping your car parked in a garage and/or under a car cover whenever possible also can go a long way to protecting your car.

Oxidation can damage your FDUÂśV ORRNV DQG ÂżQLVK ORQJ before it turns to rust. However, with a little extra attention and the right products, you can prevent it from turning into a bigger problem.

Music gives a soul to the universe

New preschool in Beaverton

Thanks to Ruel, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve discovered a love for concerts!

STUDENT ESSAY As Plato once said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music gives a soul to the universe, ZLQJV WR WKH PLQG Ă&#x20AC;LJKW WR the imagination and life to everything.â&#x20AC;? ersonally, music is the most powerful way to express myself and the way Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling. Whether Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m singing, playing instruments, or simply just listening to it, music brings me peace.

Recently, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going to a lot of concerts. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a concert and your favorite singer is right in front of you, the feeling is surreal. Before I started frequently going to concerts, I always kind of thought they were just a waste of time and money. But I discovered how wrong I was.

One of my favorite concerts

P

was in LA, at the Roxy Theater, about a year ago. I was seeing my favorite artist at the time, an Australian singer named Ruel. I waited in line for only a couple hours (much shorter than the 22 hours I had to wait at another concert!) and ended up being in the front row. I even got to meet him! Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually coming to 3RUWODQG IRU WKH ÂżUVW WLPH RQ October 12th you may want to check him out too!

Finally, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to many concerts, here are a few teen tips:

Come to our open house on 9/7, 10-1p

â&#x20AC;˘ Make sure to buy tickets early! Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re usually a lot cheaper and offer better seats. â&#x20AC;˘ Perhaps the most important tip, dress accordingly. Nothing is worse than standing for hours with uncomfortable shoes. â&#x20AC;˘ Figure out if you need to wait in line and if so, for how long because you may want to bring a portable charger.

I hope you enjoy your future concert experiences!

THE STORY: Twenty-five

years ago, in a small city in Massachusetts, three teenage boys ran wild. After a harrowing graduation night, the threesome grew up and grew apart. But tonight, the night of their high-school reunion, Mitch is getting the gang back together.

Time has changed them. Initial awkwardness succumbs to the familiarity and comfort of old friends, opening the

door to a night d i h off exhilarating hil i celebration, and a reconnection with the reckless freedom of youth. But as morning encroaches, secrets are revealed, and all three men find that the past can be a dangerous place to return to.

A darkly comic drama, Reunion explores the risks and pleasures of revisiting the past, examines the precariousness of male identity and reveals the fraught and dangerous aspects of male bonding.
