Historic Beaverton “Bee’s Knees” as they say Beaverton in the twenties Roaring all the way ~ By Angie Marcelynas

Photography contest winner Angie Marcelynas of Hillsboro says she was drawn to this mural because it tells a great story and “captures the essence of a period of Beaverton’s Past”. This mural can be seen along Farmington Rd at Hall Blvd.

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 ďŹ rst edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That ďŹ rst 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 ďŹ rst 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 reected 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 trafďŹ c 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 ďŹ nd that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this publication are those of the writers and do not necessarily reect the position of Cedar House Media and/or the Beaverton Resource Guide. 2 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 6–Issue 8 (August 2016)

To keep your family safe, UL (Underwriters Laboratory) recommends that you follow these six simple steps when using any extension cord: • Step 1: Read the manufacWXUHUœV LQVWUXFWLRQV IRU WKH device(s) you will be using. These booklets contain important information about your WRROV DSSOLDQFHV DQG GHFRUDtions and will provide instructions on their use. The booklets will also indicate whether these items are suitable for use

That rating can be found on the appliance itself and often within the use and care booklet that accompanies the product. • Step 6: Place the cord correctly.

Now, here are a few additional safety tips offered by the Underwriters Laboratory when using extension cords: • Look for the UL Mark on extension cords you purchase. The UL Mark means that representative samples of the cord have been tested for foreseeable safety hazards. • Store all cords indoors when not in use. Outdoor conditions can deteriorate a cord over time. • Never keep an extension cord plugged in when not in use. The cord will still conduct electricity until it is unplugged from the outlet. • 0RVW QHZHU LQGRRU FRUGV ZLWK more than one outlet have covers for the unused openings – use them. Children and pets face serious injury if they chew on unused outlets or stick sharp metal objects into the openings. • Do not use extension cords that are cut or damaged. Touching even a single exposed strand of wire can give you an electric shock or burn.

Traffic Q&A:

By BPD Staff

With the Beaverton Police Department

Q:

Turning Right on a Red Light Question: I’m stopped at the red light facing North at the intersection on of Murray and Farmington. I know it’s okay to turn right when trafďŹ c is clear but what if I’m the second car back and the car ahead of me is going straight. Is it legal for me to squeeze by the car ahead of me if there is space to do so and make the right hand turn? A: The second car may make a right hand turn under those circumstances as long as he/she does not leave the paved portion of the road and they don’t drive in a designated bike lane in order to make that turn. As you can tell a great deal is dependent on exactly where the ďŹ rst car in line stops.

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:

There’s a car at the end of my street with a at tire and it’s been there for over a month. How many days do I have to wait in order for this car to be considered abandoned and who do I call to get it removed? Any tow company or the police?

If you have a question for the Beaverton Car Guy, email popslcf3@hotmail. com or call 503-930-1493 Larry’s specialty is locating cars, even hard to ďŹ nd cars, for everyday folk. He has been in the automotive industry for over 35 years and has several degrees in automotive technology.

A: If you are in the City of Beaverton call the Code Compliance ofďŹ ce at 526-2270 to report the abandoned auto. They have a process they follow to have the vehicle eventually towed if necessary. You would have to call the sheriff’s department if you are in an unincorporated area. If you have a trafďŹ c 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)

THE STORY: Light Opera of Portland takes a dig at political rivalries with this satirical story about what happens when a band of fairies takes over the government. Featuring a pompous, dim-witted ruling elite (a favorite theme of Gilbert and Sullivan), a leading man who’s half a fairy (ďŹ nd out which half), and Iolanthe, (banished from Fairyland for miscegenation with a mortal), the elegant absurdity incites laughter and wonderment at how some things never change.
