Happy New Year, Beavercreek!

On the first day of 2018 we wanted to takea moment and reflect.

After a six-month hiatus, the Bulletin cameback to print in March 2017. It’s avolunteer-run effort and the previouseditor Sharon Charlson - who launched itin 1998 and published for 18 years - wasmoving from Beavercreek to Tillamook.

It took several months for us to learn theropes but, by the end of the 2017, we haddeveloped a good rhythm for writing andproduction. We created a new basicwebsite at www.beavercreekbulletin.orgwhere you can read community spotlights,as well as every past issue. (There’s a lot ofgreat Beavercreek history there.) The emaillist has grown 65% and we are now almost- almost! - able to cover all printing costseach month.

We want the Bulletin to reflect thecommunity and are always seekingfeedback on how we can improve - see thesurvey on the last page. Other ways to getinvolved:

Advertise. Our ad rates are extremely lowto ensure anyone can participate, so pleaseget in touch if you have something to share- an event, your business, etc.

Community Spotlights. These are opento both individuals as well asorganizations. You don’t have to be doingsomething amazing or own a business to

Christmas Trees for FishHabitatBy Clackamas Soil & Water ConservationDistrict

Make a fish happy in 2018! Dispose ofyour Christmas tree for fish habitat!

The North Clackamas Urban WatershedsCouncil and the North Clackamas Parksand Recreation Department are collectingrecycled Christmas trees to place in theWillamette River in Milwaukie to improvefish habitat.

Become involved by recycling yourChristmas tree on January 6, 2018 from9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.The drop-offlocation is the McLoughlin Plaza at 16240SE McLoughlin Blvd. in Oak Grove. The

recycle fee will be $10. Only clean treeswith no flocking will be accepted.

How do trees improve habitat?

Because juvenile fish are at risk of beingeaten by larger fish, they need places tohide. To provide these hiding places, theChristmas trees are sunk in strategiclocations.

As a result, young fish survive and are ableto grow to a size that makes them less aptto be eaten by larger fish!

Consequently, the more juvenile fish thatsurvive increases the number of adult fishable to spawn and build the fishpopulation.

It also means better fishing for thoseOregonians who enjoy the sport!

Piling Leaves AgainstTrunks Can Harm TreesFrom the Oregon Department of Forestry

After autumn's end comes the problem ofwhat to do with all those fallen leaves. Fartoo often, homeowners rake the leavesinto big piles surrounding the trunks oftheir street and yard trees. Some of thesepiles resemble leaf volcanoes.Unfortunately for trees, those piles can bejust as destructive as a volcano, accordingto ODF Community Assistance ForesterKatie Lompa.


Icy pine needles in Beavercreek. Source: Bulletin

"Leaf volcanoes trap moisture against atree's trunk, allowing fungi to flourish,"said Lompa. "Peel back wet leaves thathave been left against a tree trunk and youmay see tell-tale white patches revealingthe initial stages of rot."

The solution? "Leave a ring at least threeor four inches from the trunk free ofleaves," said Lompa.

Leaves are great for mulching aroundplants but first consider shredding orcomposting them, Lompa added. A thicklayer of whole leaves can becomecompacted and create a barrier to air andwater reaching the soil and plant roots.Mulching with organic material that isalready broken down into smallerparticles allows for more air and watermovement, which helps reduce the risk ofrot and other fungal diseases.

"Because leaves can drift in winter winds,some homeowners may choose to bag uptheir leaves. Before doing so, considercontacting your city or homeowners'association. Many Oregon communitieshave an urban forestry program thatmight include community yard debriscomposting. Even if you won't be usingyour leaves, someone else can."

Finally, certain diseases can overwinter onfallen leaves, Lompa noted. "So if younoticed powdery mildew or leaf spottingduring the summer or fall on yourdeciduous trees, consider disposing of theold leaves to reduce the risk of infectingnew leaves in the spring."

Building a Digital DefenseAgainst Internet-ConnectedToys

New-fangled gadgets -- including dolls,robots and the like -- are now coming with"smart" technology to entrance the littletyke. When a toy is personalized, it addsidentifying information that can lead toserious privacy invasion.

Tommy's new toy may capture his likesand locations with voice recognition...GPS, microphones and video recordingare all part of the proposition. Samara'sbig gift may soon know where she lives,goes to school and plays in the park. Andit can send that info to back to thecompany, leaving you in the dark.

Here are ways to keep your kids safe:

* First, research the toy and itsmanufacturer. Check to see if any hackershave successfully breached the company'sdatabase in the past and try to determinethe level of security the corporation usesto protect its customers.

* Second, turn on all possible internalsecurity devices. If a password or evendual encryption option is available, use it.Likewise, if the company offers an updateor software patch, install it immediately toprotect against possible hackingvulnerabilities. Also, make sure any WiFisystem connected to the toy is equallysecure.

* Third, read all disclosure statementsoffered by the company in order tounderstand the purpose and destinationof the information being collected.

* Finally, monitor the use of the toy.When not in use, turn the toy off

completely to avoid automatic systems,such as GPS or voice recording, fromcontinuing to collect data.

Need Healthcare? Beware ofNontraditional Health Plans

Health care enrollment has ended but ifyou’re still searching for a plan, beware ofnontraditional health plans that are notavailable on HealthCare.gov. Complaintsare on the rise from Oregonians beinglured into purchasing nontraditionalhealth insurance plans. Consumers areencouraged to purchase their healthcoverage only from a trusted source.

Nontraditional plans typically offer low-cost coverage, but are not available atHealthCare.gov. These plans often lead tohigh cost of care and a high tax penalty.

The Department of Consumer andBusiness Services encourages consumersto:

* Beware of cold calls offering low-costhealth coverage.

* Purchase health insurance only from atrusted source, such as an agent you trustor HealthCare.gov.

* Do not sign any document stating thepolicy is not subject to Affordable Care Act(ACA) requirements.

If you believe a low-cost, time-sensitivepolicy will meet your specific health careneeds, follow the steps above, carefullyreview the exclusions under the policy,and understand your own financial risk.For more information about ACA-compliant plans available in Oregon, visitOregonHealthcare.gov.
