Message from the Mayor By Mayor Denny Doyle

I

was recently asked about my new year’s resolutions for the city. My answer is really very simple— we need to keep investing in what Beaverton does well. I’d like to see us continue to focus on three things: 1) continue to be a welcoming city, 2) encourage more events and activities in our neighborhoods; and 3) bring more redevelopment to our downtown. Now, more than ever, we have to live our values and continue to demonstrate we are welcoming and inclusive. I am proud that our city hosted 13 welcoming week activities, expanded our Beaverton Night Market, and implemented major policy work supporting language access and city contracting. We’re a leader in this area because of the fantastic work of our Diversity Advisory Board. I’m also proud to have co-written D VWDWHPHQW DI¿UPLQJ RXU YDOXHV with our city council.

We hit it out of the park with more neighborhood events this past year. You told us in the community vision process that we needed to bring more to the neighborhoods and we’ve expanded movies in parks, partnered with our NACs on walks/runs, picnics, and more. Very soon, we will have an exciting new event to talk about in 2017. We’ve been working on downtown revitalization for some time, and now we can enjoy the fruits of those labors. We watched excitLQJ QHZ SURMHFWV ¿QLVK FRQVWUXFtion with LaScala, The Rise and the Barcelona. And thanks to our voters, our police facility bond measure was approved in November of this past year. We’ll also see private developers break ground on the Westgate property this spring. While we still have some ZRUN WR GR IRU WKH ¿QDO VWUHWFK IRU fundraising for our arts center, I’m so excited about it that I’m ready to let Ann start planning her opening night dress. 2017 is going to be a great year for Beaverton! We are so blessed to live in this wonderful community and I thank you every day for the honor to serve as your mayor. .

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. The BRG is our way of giving back to the community by 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 patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores 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 early 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 large 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 who 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 introducing your business to the community as you are!

he largest species of hemlock and the state tree of Washington, the Western Hemlock is a common and beautiful tree in the 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW 0RVW RI WKH tree’s native range in less than 100 km from the ocean and is of great importance in timber and paper production. It’s popular as a large ornamental tree, but is also used as a food source; the bark and needles can be eaten or made into tea. Even the boughs are used to collect herring eggs, the foliage creating an ideal surface for the eggs to attach to, as well as providing a distinct taste.

By City Sustainability Staff

W Though the form (overall shape) of the Western Hemlock changes from cone-shaped to more cylindrical with age, it is distinguishable at all ages by the pendulous branchlet tips, giving it a more graceful appearance. The small leaves look like needles, 5-22 mm long and 1.5-2 mm wide. They are mid to dark green with two distinct white stripes (stomata) on the underside. The cones are also small and delicate, PP ORQJ ZLWK WKLQ ÀH[LEOH scales.

ith spring just around the corner and sunnier days ahead, it’s the perfect time to consider going solar! To help Beaverton residents purchase and install solar Photo Voltaic (PV) systems, the City of Beaverton will be launching a Solarize campaign later this year. The Solarize campaign gives community members the opportunity to install solar at lower group rates – often 10-20% lower than standard pricing. The group rates are limited time offers that help communities go solar, ZKLOH LQVWDOOHUV EHQH¿W IURP WKH campaign by saving on marketing and outreach costs. The City of Beaverton already had a successful Solarize campaign in 2010-12 that helped educate community members on solar energy, simpli¿HG WKH LQVWDOODWLRQ SURFHVV DQG reduced costs. Why go solar? Solar energy is a clean, renewable energy resource that helps mitigate the impacts of climate and environmental issues, supports job creation and economic development and

decreases reliance on fossil fuel. Plus, solar resources (sunlight) are totally free! Think it’s too cloudy in Beaverton? The cities of the Portland Metropolitan Area average over 2,300 hours of sunshine a year, a number much higher than Germany, the global leader in solar energy production. This gives Beaverton the opportunity to greatly expand its solar energy production.

If you and your community are interested in going solar, keep an eye out for Solarize education materials and events on the City of Beaverton’s website and local community news outlets. www.beavertonoregon.gov

T

he Rose Festival will have a half marathon in Beaverton this year. Rose Festival organizers and city of Beaverton leaders made the announcement at City Hall. The route will take runners through familiar Beaverton arteries, as well as through a popular wetlands park. “We’re excited to bring this major Rose Festival event to the city of Beaverton,â€? says Jeff Curtis, Rose Festival chief executive RIÂżFHU Âł, DSSODXG WKH OHDGHUVKLS of Mayor Doyle, and the fantastic community leaders, who made Beaverton an important part of the Festival’s mission of inclusiveness for the greater metro region.â€? In January 2016, it was announced the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon would not continue as an annual Rose Festival event. It was introduced in 2012 and featured bands playing along the running route. A permit was then denied for a new half marathon by the city of Portland, citing challenges facing the Portland Police Bureau to staff such an event. Rose Festival organizers began talking to Beaverton city leaders two years ago as part of the festival’s greater outreach initiative and said when the idea of a 14 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 7–Issue 2 (February 2017)

half marathon came up, “it seemed the entire Beaverton community from City Hall to police, parks and the school district immediately embraced it.� “We are truly very excited about this new partnership and the tremendous opportunity it brings to Beaverton,� said Mayor Denny

Doyle. “People are going to have a lot of fun with this one.� The Rose Festival Half Marathon is set for 7:30 a.m. May 28 and will start and end at Southridge High School, 9625 S.W. 125th Ave., Beaverton. Registration opened on Jan. 17.

One-Eyed, Lead-Poisoned Eagle Finds Home At Oregon Zoo By Oregon Zoo Staff

A

one-eyed bald eagle from Wisconsin has taken up residence at the Oregon Zoo, joining Jack, another one-eyed rescue, in the Eagle Canyon habitat. Zoo caregivers hope the new bird — named Reetahkac (Pawnee for eagle) — will teach visitors about the detrimental impacts of lead ammunition on wildlife. In late February, hikers in Wisconsin’s Vernon Wildlife Area spotted the 3-foot-tall eagle on the ground along their trail. Concerned WKDW VKH PLJKW EH XQDEOH WR À\ they called local authorities, who dispatched a rescue team from the nearby Wildlife in Need Center. An initial exam and a trip to Brook-Falls Veterinary Hospital showed the bird had sustained a deep puncture wound in her left eye. Wildlife experts believe the injury — which left Reetahkac blind in that eye and would prevent her

from successfully surviving in the wild — occurred during a territory battle with another eagle. The eagle also was also suffering from severe lead poisoning, attributed to a meal she ingested around the time of her rescue. 6KH XQGHUZHQW ¿YH URXQGV RI chelation therapy — a chemo-like treatment that helps remove lead from the body. Although lead has been widely

eliminated from paint, gasoline and water pipes, it remains the metal of choice for ammunition manufacturers. Eagles and other scavengers can ingest the toxin when they eat the remains of an animal that’s been shot with lead ammunition. “Thanks to intervention, this eagle got a second chance, but its exposure to lead could have been prevented,� said Leland Brown, non-lead hunting education coordinator at the zoo. “When hunters choose non-lead ammunition, they’re helping scavenging wildlife stay healthy by keeping lead out of the environment.� The two bald eagles can be distinguished by their eyes: Reetahkac is missing her left eye and Jack is missing his right.

The 20’ x 40’ wood structure was moved from the west side of Murray Boulevard to the east side in 1882 and dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua in 1884. This original building was used until its demolition in 1922. The cemetery is located in the 300 block of SW Murray Boulevard. The parish again relocated, this time from Cedar Mill to Beaverton, in 1908 to serve the town’s developing population. Father L.A. LeMiller obtained a building, purportedly a former cheese factory, and moved it to the northeast corner of Hall Boulevard and Canyon Road. It was dedicated in 1908 to St. Mary. In 1913 a chapel and school were combined into a single, two-story structure, dedicated as St. Cecelia. The building was torn down in 1951 when an auto dealership built a garage and showroom.

However, in the world of Naturopathic Medicine, GHWR[ VKRUW IRU GHWR[L¿FDWLRQ LV considered a foundation of good health. It refers to the intricate and nuanced ways the body gets rid of toxins and waste, and how we can optimize that function to improve health and prevent disease In today’s world, we are constantly exposed to toxic chemicals such as cigarette smoke, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, cosmetics, plastics, food additives, sugars, medications, drugs, alcohol, chemicals in our carpets, couches and beds, and so many more. Our bodies do have a system to get rid of toxins and waste. But what happens when we over-burden that system? What happens when we take in more than we can clear? Bottom line: we get sick or we don’t get better from our chronic illnesses. We get fatigued, sluggish, or depressed, with headaches, indigestion, PMS or acne. And in the worst-case scenario, if our bodies can’t neutralize or clear these toxins, we develop cancer or

other life threatening diseases. In Naturopathic Medicine our job is nurture the body so it can shed the toxins and heal itself. The most important player in the game of detox is the liver. While it has many jobs, the liver is responsible for taking toxins and making them easy to excrete. It makes some more water-soluble to be removed by the kidneys. Drinking plenty of water helps ÀXVK WKRVH FKHPLFDOV RXW WKURXJK the urine. The liver puts other toxins into the intestines to be removed as feces. This means that the fecal matter contains harmful chemicals. If we do not have regular, daily bowel movements, our intestines will reabsorb them back into the blood stream. Perhaps the most important step of any detox protocol or lifestyle choice is to reduce our exposure to additional toxins. This means eating a clean, healthy diet of whole foods, avoiding

processed foods, and reducing the intake of alcohol and marijuana. It also means eating more organic fruits and vegetables to reduce exposure to pesticides. It is important to be aware of the products we put on our bodies because many cosmetics and body care products have toxic parabens that imitate the hormone estrogen, as well as synthetic fragrances and other noxious chemicals. Detox can be a fad diet, done periodically after binging on junk food (like we all do from time to time). Or detox can be something added to a healthy lifestyle. It doesn’t have to be a negative experience of deprivation and discomfort. Whichever path you are walking and whatever your goals are, a Naturopathic Physician would be happy to help create a detox plan that works for you.

Marks of Quality By Kaaren Bedi

here is a variety of ‘marks’ on jewelry made around the world. They are a code that reveals much about the piece and the place it was made.

I have typically found from experience that, the non-franchised dealerships do less of a reconditioning on their used vehicles than the franchised dealers. One of the reasons is the franchised dealers have a service department on site, this means that the work is not sent out to an offsite mechanic trying to upsell the dealership on work that may or may not be needed. The other side of this is, the franchised dealer has the onsite service department. This enables the sales team to actually view and inspect the used vehicles while in the service department. Another thing to consider is the franchised dealerships today, have technicians who are cross trained, this means that they are able to

work on any vehicle, not just a Toyota if it is a Toyota store, or just a Ford if it is a Ford store. In the event I were purchasing a pre-owned vehicle I would certainly purchase through a franchised vehicle over an independent dealer. It seems that again from experience, the franchised dealerships do a more thorough inspection so we are not purchasing someone else’s pre-owned vehicle problems.

Ask The Beaverton Car Guy

Where to Buy a Pre-owned Vehicle By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Beaverton Readers! ecently I was asked if I were to buy a pre-owned vehicle where would I buy it? Would I buy from a franchised dealer or a used car dealership that doesn’t sell new vehicles. I thought I would offer some information to our Beaverton Readers to aid them in their searches. When you’re looking to buy a used car from a dealership, you have two choices: 1) You can buy from an “independent� dealership or 2) a “franchise� dealership. Independent car dealerships and franchise car dealerships each have strengths and weaknesses when compared with each other.

R

Independent Car Dealers - These are used car dealerships that don’t have agreements with any particular car manufacturers to sell certain makes of vehicle and they won’t feature the name of any particular manufacturer in their name. They’ll usually have names like “Bill’s Quality Used Carsâ€? or “Great Deal Auto Sales.â€? Since they’re not linked with DQ\ VSHFLÂżF FDU PDQXIDFWXUHU www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

independent dealers don’t sell new cars and will offer a large variety of used cars from many different makes. Franchise Car Dealers - These are dealers that have the authorization or “franchiseâ€? from certain automakers to act as an agent in selling their vehicles. Franchise dealers can be easily spotted because the dealership’s name will usually contain a car brand’s name in it - “Franklin Sussex Hyundaiâ€?, for example. Here are the differences in buying a used car between the two types of dealers Vehicle Variety - Independent car dealers will typically have a much bigger selection of used cars to choose from. Franchise dealers that also sell new cars typically don’t put as much focus on the used cars they offer. Financing - Franchise dealers usually have lower interest rates ZKHQ LW FRPHV WR ÂżQDQFLQJ DQG

it’s done through through their PDQXIDFWXUHUœV ¿QDQFLDO VHUYLFHV arm - GMAC or Ford Motor Company Credit, for example. Independent dealers’ interest rates are often higher, but they are also PRUH OLNHO\ WR RIIHU ¿QDQFLQJ WR people with less than excellent credit, making it easy for someone with a checkered credit history to ¿QDQFH D FDU WKDW ZRXOG EH WXUQHG down at a franchise dealer. Vehicle Age - Used cars at franchise dealerships are usually later models. Independent dealers may offer late models, but also typically have a selection of cars WKDW DUH ROGHU WKDQ \RX ZRXOG ¿QG at a franchise dealer. Price - Prices for used cars at franchise dealerships are often higher than at independent used car lots. Since the inventory at independent dealers is usually a bit older than at a franchise dealer, \RXœUH PRUH OLNHO\ WR ¿QG FDUV IRU lower prices. Vehicle Service - Most franchise dealerships have their own service departments with technicians trained to work on the brands of new cars that they sell. That can

Purchasing a Home From a Builder It’s different and needs special care By Ken Reetz

T

he Builder’s Purchase Agreement will be much different than the Oregon Real Estate Purchase Agreement. It will be more one sided in favor of the Seller (Builder) and the Buyer will want to review the terms of a Builder Contract with due consideration. First, it’s also important to recognize that a builder is taking VLJQL¿FDQWO\ PRUH ULVN WKDQ D VHOOer of resale homes, and therefore must account for all the things that could easily spiral their building costs out of control. The one sided aspect of the Builder Contract should not signal that they are predators, but it should signal the Buyer their need for due diligence. Make sure you understand and can live with these Terms of Sale: • Inspections – Being new isn’t a guarantee of anything, and neither is being the country’s biggest home builder with a thousand testimonials saying how great they are. I have personally seen a home inspection, then a subsequent reinspection, save a NEW home

buyer what would have been many thousands of dollars in repairs. If you’re building from the foundation up, get a good home inspector of your own to follow the process at three key points of construction. Don’t rely on state, city, or county inspectors and certainly don’t rely on the builder (especially on the larger builders who hire so many sub contractors that they cannot properly supervise them). Think that is an exaggeration?

Also, insist that the builder comply with all required building codes according to what was permitted, including any approved variaWLRQV RU PRGL¿FDWLRQV )LQDOO\ it should be spelled out that the builder will perform all work to meet or exceed professional standards. • Hold Harmless – Do you want to be subject to third party claims that may arise during the construction of your home? If not, realize this: ALL subcontractors doing work for the builder should be required to hold you harmless. Period. There is so much more to cover but the idea is to take this seriously. Personally, even though I know most of this stuff, I would not buy a home from ANY builder without using a real estate attorney to review and edit the contract. Then, your Realtor will be an important part of negotiating what has been counter proposed. If you don’t know who to contact and need either a good real estate attorney or Realtor just give me a call and I’ll be happy to help out.

Home Remodeling Costs Will Soon Increase By “Handyman“ Bob Strong

T

he cost of remodeling your home is about to go up – and, LW FRXOG EH VLJQLÂżFDQW )RU PDQ\ years, there has been a requirement to not bring asbestos containing materials to either of the Metro transfer stations. Enforcement began in earnest just one year ago, when Metro published this on their website: These rules are found at: http:// www.oregonmetro.gov/tools-living/garbage-and-recycling/asbestos-information-metro-customers. Likely, the item on the new list which will increase cost the most is “drywallâ€?. You may know it as gypsum board or by one of its most popular brand names, Sheet

Rock. Remodeling often requires removing all wall material down to the studs and many times that material is drywall. This means every gypsum wall and ceiling that will be disturbed during the renovation or demolition will require testing. Note that abatement will be required. So, what is abatement? Simply stated, that is the removal and disposal of asbestos containing material by a properly licensed ¿UP RU LQ VRPH FDVHV E\ WKH homeowner. This means your general contractor will need to hire another specialized subcontractor – just like the electrician or plumber is a subcontractor – to

remove and dispose of any “hotâ€? walls or ceilings. Abatement always begins by creating a containment area where material is to be removed. This is done by using heavy-gauge plastic sheeting to form a nearly air-tight “roomâ€?. It is important to keep any DVEHVWRV ÂżEHUV FRPSOHWHO\ FRQtained, so that nobody will end up inhaling them. Personal protective equipment, including Tyvek suits, gloves, and respirators is worn by anyone entering the containment area.

At what point can speeding be considered reckless driving? Or are these two completely separate violations? A: When the speed is at such a high rate that it endanger life. The pure act of speeding alone is not considered reckless. Once other factors come into play i.e., location, time of day, road conditions, trafďŹ c, etc.Taking all these into consideration then the crime of reckless driving could be committed.

Musings of a Beaverton Teen

Your Guide to a Safe Protest By Emery Hanel (12th Grade)

W

ith newly elected Donald Trump as our nation’s president, there has been a spike in protests all across the nation, including your city. Looking to participate but don’t want to put yourself in danger? Here are some dos and don’ts for a protest. Do know your rights. As a citizen of the United States, you have the right to peaceful assembly. The First Amendment essentially reads that your right to freedom of religion, speech, and press is not to be prohibited. You can express how you feel in whichever way you would like: speech, song, sign, dance, artwork, or your attire. Don’t abuse your privilege. While yelling your message is

completely okay, writing your message on public or private property is vandalism and will not be tolerated. While being angry is completely okay, throwing a brick through a window in anger is not. Be smart. Do be safe. Go with a group of dependable individuals. Before the protest, you should charge your phone, hydrate, and leave all of your valuables at home. You should also memorize and or write down important phone numbers that you may need, like your parents or other responsible individuals you trust. During the protest, wear layers, as the weather can be unpredictable, and make sure to stay hydrated. Durable, waterproof shoes are your best friend. Bring

rejection of a system is a smart and safe form of civil disobedience. Inciting a chaotic disturbance and disrespecting the nature of a peaceful protest is a stupid and unsafe form of civil disobedience. Know the consequences of whatever actions you plan to take and be willing to accept them.

French Onion Soup

MARKET

RECIPE

It has been an incredibly cold and snowy start to Winter this year. The challenges to our farmers to grow in this weather were enormous! Still, we are amazed at the quality and variety of produce they were able to tease out of the frosty ground.

This recipe is perfect for cold winter nights and you can always find a bounty of onions at the market! (In addition, if you'd like to make your own beef stock, you can also find beef soup bones for sale at the Market!)

Starting this season, the Beaverton Farmers Market will hold our Winter Market every Saturday in February, March and April which means that our customers will be able to enjoy locally grown produce and artisan foods for 10 months out of the year.

• 6 cups beef stock (or vegetable stock to make vegetarian)

We are looking forward to being there for you every week, starting February 4th.

What is fresh in February?

Directions Melt butter over low heat in a large stock pot. Add 1/2 of the sliced onions and cook over low heat until caramelized – at least

30 minutes. Stir occasionally. If the onions start to brown, turn the heat down and add more butter. After the first batch of onions are mostly caramelized (30+ minutes), add in a bit more butter and the rest of the onions. Raise the heat just slightly, scrape the sides of the pot and add a splash of red wine to deglaze the pan. Continue to cook over med-low heat, occasionally stirring and deglazing with wine, for 30 more minutes. Next, add in the stock, the rest of the red wine, bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Bring to a boil, then reduce down to a simmer. Simmer for 20-30 minutes. Taste and season with salt & pepper. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F. When the soup is reduced down to a rich broth, remove the soup from the stove. Ladle soup into ramekins or oven-proof bowls. Top with 1-2 baguette slices. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated gruyere over the top of the baguette slices. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. Remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly before serving. (Serves 4-6)
