Last Month’s Cover Art

Message from the Chief Season of Safety By Chief Geoff Spalding

T

he City of Beaverton launched the Season of Safety campaign in June. The aim of this campaign is to build a safer community by helping both residents and community members get prepared, be safe, and live Beaverton Ready. Throughout the summer months you may see advertisements, social media, website messages, and direct mail postcards promoting this campaign. Our hope is that you are encouraged to come up with a safety plan for your own family in the event of a natural disaster. While looking at what we can do as a city to prepare for a natural

disaster, we felt it was a necessity to improve our reliability by having a new public safety center constructed which would be earthquake resistant and meets the public safety facility standards. This new public safety center would house the police department along with emergency management and would be able to provide all functions needed to operate 24/7, even during a natural disaster. The public safety center is projected to cost $35 million. If approved by voters in November, the tax rate for the bonds to construct the building is estimated not to exceed 20 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or approximately $50 per year for property with an assessed value of $250,000. The rate will replace what taxpayers are currently paying for bonds set to retire that were used to construct the Beaverton City Library. For more information on the proposed public safety center and ways for you can be Beaverton Ready, visit www.BeavertonOregon.gov/ready.

BRG History: The Beaverton Resource Guide (BRG) is a free monthly community paper written, edited and published in Beaverton, by Beaverton residents and for the businesses and people of Beaverton, Oregon, USA. Cedar House Media published the first edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That first issue was 16 pages. Today, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by a diverse cross section of public and private community organizations.

BRG Goals: Beaverton has so many positive attributes and many go unnoticed. This publication is our way of highlighting what makes our city a great place to live, work and shop. With a focus on small, local businesses, we’d like to encourage our neighbors to first visit nearby stores and give them a chance before moving on to businesses outside our community. BRG Advertising: With our unique layout, colorful design and exclusive community content, our readers are beyond loyal as reflected by our 80%+ readership rate each month since Jan. 2013. Not only do they want to know what's happening in Beaverton each month, but they also agree with our philosophy staying local. As a business in the Beaverton area, your ad will be seen by those who are most willing to go out of their way to keep their dollars close to home. These shoppers, your potential new customers, also happen to be our best readers! In addition, we don’t print massive quantities and mail them out to uninterested parties. Our papers are located in convenient and high traffic locations ready to be picked up by those shop local. With low rates, targeted distribution and a willingness to provide more value than what you pay for, you'll find that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

The Nature of Conflict— Managing Difficult Conversations July 7: Conflicts occur whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas or desires. These conflicts contribute to breakdowns in communications and hurt relationships. A critical component of managing conflicts is learning to understand the nature of conflict and the instinctual conditions that keep them from getting resolved. The workshop will also cover the practical steps to managing difficult conversations.

Dealing with Angry July 14: Customers Many of us work with customers or the general public over the phone and/ or face-to-face. At times when conflict emerges, we may feel attacked or insulted by the other person’s words or behavior. This workshop will help participants understand and manage our instinctual defensiveness and explore how to have more productive conversations in the heat of the moment. Instead of reacting, participants will practice how to slow down responses, replace defensive statements with questions, use appropriate tone, and reframe the conversation to deescalate the conflict and have more effective outcomes.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, express, and maintain good social relationships to guide our thinking towards solving problems under pressure. Participants will practice navigating complicated situations by eliciting constructive engagement from people who might not otherwise cooperate.

City Website Gets a Fresh Look The city’s web team began work in January. 2016 to update www. BeavertonOregon.gov, the city website, as well as the Beaverton Police Department site, www. BeavertonPolice.org. In response to public feedback on how to make information easier to find, the redesigned city website will have a cleaner, simplified look. Mobile-responsive design will allow better viewing and navigation on phones and tablets. The new website will also allow more opportunities for community engagement and communication.

City Plans for Canyon Road Improvements The city has partnered with the Oregon Department of Transportation. (ODOT) to design and construct improvements along Canyon. Road between Hocken Avenue and East Avenue in Central Beaverton. ODOT will begin design work this year in coordination with a team of staff from both jurisdictions. The design

is expected to result in future construction of improvement to Canyon Road that are similar to the improvements envisioned through the Civic Plan and the Creekside District Master Plan.

Chupacabra Moves Into Carnivore Ward At Zoo Vet Center Chupacabra moved in at the Oregon Zoo this summer, arriving in Portland last month and quickly making himself at home in the carnivore ward of the zoo’s veterinary medical center. Unlike the bloodthirsty creature of folklore, however, this Chupacabra is a vegetarian. “Chupacabra is his name, but actually he’s a Patagonian mara, native to Argentina,â€? said Tanya Paul, Oregon Zoo program animal supervisor. “He looks something like a cross between a capybara and a giant jackrabbit.â€?

Paul said. “Responsible pet ownership choices are healthier for people, animals and the environment.â€? Eventually, Chupacabra will become one of the zoo’s ambassador animals. “He made himself right at

As a rodent, he needs to be in an enclosure that he wouldn’t chew through.� Paul said the indoor space also has natural light and a retractable roof, so he can have some fresh air and sun when the weather is good. Once abundant in Argentina’s Patagonian Desert, the wild population of maras is in decline due to habitat loss and hunting, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, which lists the Pategonian mara’s current conservation status as “near threatened.�

id you know your own backyard may be just the refuge native turtles, frogs and birds need from the bustle of city life?

even attract native insects, helping to support the food chain from the bottom up. 2. Focus on variety. Sometimes we get stuck in a rut in our landscaping choices, opting for a lot of something that seems to be working. Break out of the rut by selecting plants of varying heights and types – layering is more visually appealing and provides better habitat.

3. Learn new tricks or get some help. With the increasing popularity of naturescaping and backyard habitat efforts in our region, opportunities abound. In Washington County, the Tualatin SWCD can answer questions to help get you started, point you towards classes in our area, and share useful materials to help you select plants.

Avoid Home Improvement Fraud By Handyman Bob Strong

O

nce you’re the victim of a home repair scam, you won’t ever get your money back and you’ll have to pay for the repairs and possible additional damage. Prevention is the best form of protection. Following is Handyman Bob’s Top Ten List of ways to avoid home improvement fraud:

1. Verify the contractor’s license with CCB in Oregon and BOLI in Washington. Don’t even consider hiring someone who is not licensed, because you become the contractor, responsible for paying subcontractors, accidents on the property, and maybe even payroll taxes. No license, no work! 2. Be Super Careful here. According to the Postal Inspector, the fastest growing areas of home repair fraud are Painting, *HQHUDO UHSDLUV 5H URR¿QJ Roof repairs, Siding Replacement, and Whole House Window Replacement. 3. The scam artist really puts

pressure on to arrange for fast payment. Legitimate businesses also want to reduce the time between making the sale and getting paid, but scammers stress this, because for them their job is not the work to be done - it’s collecting the money! 4. Watch for these warning signs - rebates, door-to-door VDOHV VHOOLQJ WKH ÂżQDQFLQJ DQG not the work, money up front, offers of free inspections, no tools in their van, advertising that doesn’t include a license number, can’t produce license and insurance information, proposal is very vague with regard to quality of materials. 5. Don’t close the door - slam it, if you hear, “working in your neighborhood and have materials left over...â€?, “use your house to get more workâ€?, “offer only good todayâ€?, “cash for materials up frontâ€?. 6. Insist on a detailed contract. If remodeling the kitchen, the contractor should specify the

make and model of all appliDQFHV DOO Âż[WXUHV DOO VWRQH DQG tile, the color of the paint - you get the idea. If the contract simply states, “Remodel kitchen - $32,000â€?, show him the door. 7. Never, ever pay by debit card (and avoid using checks drawn on an account with lots of $$$ in it) and never allow use of your tools in lieu of theirs (if they don’t have tools, they’re not for real). 8. Always pay using a credit card or, if you choose to use checks, make sure they are not one of your primary bank accounts. Scammers don’t just stick to home improvement fraud, they love identity theft, as well. If you use a check to pay for work done by a subcontractor, make the check payable to both parties, the contractor and his sub. 9. Never pay the whole amount until you are completely VDWLVÂżHG ZLWK WKH ZRUN ,Q IDFW it is a good idea to have 10%

Reprogramming Yourself with Positive AfďŹ rmations By Celia Lambert, PhD

ou have the ability to change what you think and what you believe about yourself. Here is how you can do it! 1. Think about one of the things you want most. It could be related to your career, your body, \RXU ORYH OLIH \RXU ¿QDQFHV or something else. This is all about you, your desires, your dreams, what you want most. *HW FOHDU DERXW ZKDW \RX ZDQW to see happen in your life and then write it down. 2. Next, write down all the negative thoughts and ideas you have around this dream or desire. Why you think you cant’t have what you want.

We all have reasons why we think we don’t deserve things we strive for. They are our fears and doubts. They may be stuck in your subconscious or just bad programming. What ever/where ever it is write it down, get it out of your body, get it out of your head and down on paper so you can see it and look at it objectively. 3. Now, we are going to turn it around. If your issue is not

liking or enjoying your job then your mantra would be “I love my jobâ€?. If your issue is not having enough money then your mantra could be something like “ I have more money than I know what to do withâ€?. If your issue is around something more personal then perhaps your mantra would be “I am happy healthy and whole, mind, body and soulâ€? The point is to put positive energy around something negative. This will effect your conscious mind as well as your subconscious. Watch what happens as you reprogram yourself with more positive DIÂżUPDWLRQV

Basics for a Beaverton Day Hike By Emery Hanel (12th Grade)

By Emery Hanel Hey, Beaverton teens! fter the long nine months of tedious schoolwork and backto-back exams, summer vacation LV ¿QDOO\ KHUH )RU VRPH RI \RX this means staying up late and sleeping in. For others, it means taking up a summer job or internship. Either way, it’s important to make time for leisure. A great way to enjoy yourself this summer is to go on a day hike on one of the many trails in or around Beaverton. REI experts advise to bring the following essentials on a day hike:

A

1. Method of Navigation: There are few things worse than getting lost in unfamiliar outdoor territory. Prevent the panic by bringing a PDS FRPSDVV *36 RU DOWLPHWHU which is a device that measures the altitude attained during a hike. 2. Protection from the Sun: No one

“Nothing exciting ever happens when you hike in Beaverton!�

likes coming home with a painful sunburn after enjoying themselves on a day hike. Protect your skin with sunscreen or sunblock of at least SPF 15, protect your lips with a balm containing SPF, and protect your precious eyes with sunglasses that absorb UV light up to 400 nanometers.

3. Weather Appropriate Gear: On hot summer days, wear clothing that wick sweat and dry quick. A hat that shields the sun and clothing that features mosquito net material is always a good idea. While this may not seem as important on a hot summer day, on the cooler days of the season it’s important to bring clothing that prevents the loss of heat. :HDU D ÀHHFH MDFNHW WKDW LQVXODWHV body heat and a rain jacket on top. *ORYHV PLWWHQV DQG D V\QWKHWLF RU wool cap are all smart choices. 4. A Source of Light: Even though it’s a day hike, which means there will be no overnight camping, it’s critical to be prepared. Bring D KHDGODPS RU ÀDVKOLJKW DQG DQ extra set of batteries just in case. 5. First-Aid Supplies: For obvious UHDVRQV EULQJ D ¿UVW DLG NLW Even if no minor injuries end up happening, you will be grateful you brought it along for the peace

of mind. 6. Fire-Starting Materials: Again, even though it’s a day hike, you shouldn’t slack off on things you think you won’t need. It’s better to be safe than sorry, so bring matches or a lighter in a a ZDWHUSURRI FRQWDLQHU %ULQJ ¿UH starter to create an emergency VXUYLYDO ¿UH LI QHHGHG 7. A Source of Nutrition: Bring a hearty supply of food that will give you the necessary amount of protein and act as an origin of energy. 8. Hydration: A source of hydration is indisputably the most important material necessary for any outdoor adventure. Bring more than enough water! If you’re going on a more uncultivated KLNH EULQJ D ZDWHU ¿OWHU RU RWKHU treatment system in the instance of an emergency. 9. Emergency Shelter: If you’re

ill-prepared, sometimes a day hike turns into an overnight camp out. %ULQJ D WHQW DQG WDUS RU D UHÀHFWLYH blanket to be ready for these rare but still distinctly possible circumstances. 10. Repair Kit & Tools: It’s always great to have a knife or multi-tool and duct tape on hand.

One organization that we take pride in the most is the American Red Cross. • As freshmen, we initially were only volunteering at blood drives. As we got more experience, we began getting involved in other areas of Red Cross. • We started the American Red Cross Club at our high school, so that our peers could get involved as much as we did.

• We are currently the Co-Presidents of the club at our school. Since we have started this club, our members have been involved in the Red Cross in ways they never were before.

• We joined the Oregon Youth Council where we meet monthly to discuss different ways we can reach out to help the community.

HAWK Signals Are For Pedestrian Safety By Police Staff

KHUH LV D QHZ W\SH RI WUDI¿F signal on Farmington Road QHDU 79) 5¶V ¿UH VWDWLRQ DQG DW Hall Blvd near Fanno Creek. It is called a “HAWK” or High-intensity Activated crossWalK signal. This buttonactivated signal has been safely and successfully used in other US cities. The HAWK signal is used at midblock crosswalks

By BPD Staff

With the Beaverton Police Department

Q:

T

RQ KLJK WUDI¿F YROXPH VWUHHWV HAWK signals have been found to substantially increase motorist awareness and produce a high motorist stopping rate.

For more information, visit http://www.beavertonoregon. gov/1197/New-Pedestrian-Signal

How it Works What Drivers See

Traffic Q&A:

What Pedestrians See The HAWK remains DARK for traffic until a pedestrian activates the push-button. While the HAWK is DARK, traffic can continue past the beacon without stopping. When a pedestrian presses the button, approaching drivers see a FLASHING YELLOW light for a few seconds, indicating that the beacon has been activated.

The flashing yellow is followed by a SOLID YELLOW light, indicating that motorists should reduce speed and be prepared to stop.

The solid yellow is followed by double SOLID RED lights, requiring drives to stop.

The double solid red lights are followed by alternating FLASHING RED lights. During this indication, drivers are required to come to a full STOP, but may proceed when pedestrians have cleared the crosswalk and it is safe to proceed.

If I’m driving down Murray Blvd vd and a bus going the opposite direction stops and puts out its stop p sign, do I need to stop even with an island in the middle separating traffic? What about if it’s an emergency vehicle on the other side of the island? A: While travelling in the opposite direction you are not required to stop as long as there is a raised barrier or island. You are required to yield to the emergency vehicle (pull to the right and stop) because the emergency vehicle may have to travel in your lane.

Q:

I know that talking or texting while driving is now illegal, but what if I’m stopped at a red light. Can I make a quick call as long as I hang up before the light turns red? A: The answer is ‘no’ as long as they are on a public road it would be illegal.They would have to pull over to the shoulder.

Q:

I’m stopped in a left hand turn lane showing a red arrow but change my mind and want to continue straight ahead. If the road is clear and the light is still green, can I merge into the lane to my right and go straight? A: You can’t go straight because you would have had to signal the lane change for at least 100 feet before you did it and one could argue that once you are in the left turn lane you are committed to making that turn.

Q:

How do you determine which officers get to drive which patrol cars? Is it seniority or just assigned? A: Choice of cars is almost always determined by seniority. If you have a traffic question that you'd like us to ask the Beaverton Police Department for this column, email us at: BRG@cedarhousemedia.com (For all other police questions, call the police non-emergency number: 503-526-2260)

Preventing Dehydration in Older Adults By Regina Ford

aving enough water in the body helps keep systems functioning well. Dehydration can lead to problems such as urinary tract infections and blood pressure disturbances. This is particularly challenging for seniors in the hot summer weather. Seniors are more prone to dehydration for several reasons: • As people get older, their body water content decreases. • The ability to notice changes in body temperature typically decreases with age. • Older people often experience less thirst that leads to reduced ÀXLG LQWDNH • With aging, the kidneys have a reduced ability to concentrate urine and retain water for times of deprivation. • 6SHFL¿F FRQGLWLRQV VXFK DV incontinence, swallowing disorders, reduced mobility, and reduced comprehension

Sometimes in spite of their academic institution…and themselves.

THE STORY: Based on Shakespeare’s greatest love story, West Side Story places ill-fated lovers Tony and Maria amidst racial tensions and rival street gangs in 1950s New York City. Their struggle to escape hate, violence, and prejudice to find a place together remains a heart wrenching and relevant story for our time. With its brilliant, passionate score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim and pioneering choreography by Jerome Robbins, West Side Story has earned its place as one of the most powerful and revered musicals in history. www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
