May is Mental Health Awareness Month in Lake Oswego

I am extremely proud of my city. The month of May has been named Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health has for centuries been ignored as a genuine problem, and even shamed. It is time for it to come out into the sunlight to be discussed, studied, and understood. As a youngster I lost 3 friends to suicide. My son lost one of his best friends to suicide. This is a subject that is very important to me and I am just so glad Lake Oswego has taken up the mantle.

Two different events are being hosted at the Lake Oswego Library:

Faces of Youth in Juvenile Detention, Thursday May 9, 7-8 p.m. This is a discussion of the use of art therapy in juvenile detention centers. It’s hosted by Paula Perkins, a graduate student at Lewis and clark College in the Art Therapy master’s program.

In Our Own Voice, Thursday May 23, 6:30-8:30 p.m. This is a unique public education presentation where two trained speakers share their stories of living with mental health challenges, from discovery to recovery.

These events are free. For information contact Alicia Yokoymama at 503-534-4228 or ayokoyama@lakeoswego.city

I also want to recommend a wonderful book by Judy Collins. Yes, that Judy Collins, famed for her incredible singing voice and classic songs like “Both Sides Now”. Judy lost her only child, her son Clark, to suicide. She has spent decades learning as much as she can on the subject and her book is well written, insightful, and very informative. Titled Sanity and Grace, I highly recommend it.

As always, thank you for reading the blotter,
Dianne

Safety Tips When Selling

Hand holding door knob with keys
Selling your home is generally very, very safe. This does not mean that you should not still take some simple precautions. Here are a few guidelines that I recommend to my clients.

Use a Realtor
It’s a very basic first step. First, Realtors go through back ground checks to gain a license in the State of Oregon. They are also finger printed. Our lockbox access ability is updated nightly. If a Realtor is convicted of a crime, they loose their license and their ability to access lockboxes is cut off immediately. Second, Realtors screen their clients. They make sure that they are viable and real buyers by having them get pre-approved with a lender. A professional Realtor does not want to waste their time or risk their own safety with someone who is putting on a con.

Put away jewelry, prescriptions, and small valuables
Even with strong due diligence from the Realtors who show your property, it is foolish to put out temptations that can be easily and quickly slipped into a pocket.

Never let someone tour your home that is not accompanied by their Realtor
No matter how convincing or friendly the person may seem, do not let them into your house. You have hired a Realtor and your professional is there to protect you by screening the person showing interest. Give them a copy of your agent’s business card or direct them to the phone number on the for sale sign.

Make Realtors use the lockbox
If a Realtor arrives to show the house and you have not yet left, don’t let them just go inside. Lock the house up and ask them to use the lockbox. This verifies that the person is in fact a bonafide agent in good standing.

That’s it. Just a few simple precautions and you and your home will be safe and secure.

I hope you found this helpful. As always, thanks for reading the blotter!

Emergency Preparedness Fair

The City of Lake Oswego is hosting an emergency preparedness fair on April 24th, a Wednesday. It will be held from 5:30-7:30 pm at the Lake Oswego Maintenance Center (17601 Pilkington Rd).

We have no idea what sort of emergencies lay in our future. It is now well known that the Pacific Northwest has a history of huge earthquakes that on average occur every couple of hundred years and that we are now about 200 years since the last one occurred. Other potential events are flooding (that happened in 1996), severe storms, and fires. Being prepared is pretty important.

The emergency preparedness fair is going to feature about 20 booths sharing information on putting together your own preparedness kit that will address the need for supplies, food, water storage, pets, sanitation, and even CPR training.

Water is a particular concern as it is estimated that each person and pet in a household needs a gallon of water per day and that we should plan for a 14 day supply. At the preparedness fair the city will be giving out 300, 3-gallon water containers that can be used to collect water from distribution centers that, in the event of an emergency, will be set up by the city.

This sounds like a wonderful event that is free and worthwhile. See you there!
