“The Beaverton Resource Guide is a vibrant snapshot of the Beaverton Community.� Marie Prins, Washington County Visitors Association

Message from the Mayor By Mayor Denny Doyle

S

ummer is in full swing and this issue has lots of info on all of the events, including many new events in neighborhoods. Speaking of which, how cool is it that our neighborhood program is 30 years old? These amazing volunteers do so much for our city. They are the backbone of our community cleanups and help put on lots of local activities. In fact, we have tracked an interesting statistic. In the last 10 years, these volunteers donated enough hours to the city to equal $2.7 million of their time. What an amazing group of change agents. It’s truly inspiring!

I am constantly amazed at what our community is able to accomplish when we come together. In June, the city sponsored the Westside Economic Alliance’s Housing Summit which featured a keynote speech from Senator Jeff Merkley. The Council Chambers was standing room only, with people from all sectors wanting to learn and share ideas about how we can work together on issues of affordable housing development and more. ,W LV VR HDV\ WR ¿QG LQVSLUDWLRQ LQ URRPV ¿OOHG ZLWK SHRSOH who are bound together by a

common desire to make their communities better. We can focus on the challenges and feel overwhelmed—but I choose to focus on the opportunities. And Beaverton, I want to say thank you for the opportunity to serve this great city and for the chance to work with the dedicated people who call Beaverton home and give so much of themselves to our city. On another note, I’d like to remind all of us to go back to the basics and stop, look, and listen, when we are on city streets. We’ve had some recent tragedies in the area with pedestrians walking into oncoming trains. Please, talk to your family members, talk to your kids, talk to people you know and care about, and remind them to keep their heads up and be alert when walking on our busy streets. I also want to address the recent tragedy that occurred in Portland on the MAX line. There is no place for hate in our community. We extend our sincerest condolences to all of the victims’ families. I am so grateful for all of the community leaders who have stepped IRUZDUG LQ %HDYHUWRQ WR DI¿UP we are a Welcoming City. We stand together fostering a welcoming, inclusive and tolerant place for all.

#3( )JTUPSZ 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.

#3( (PBMT 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 ďŹ rst patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores outside our community. #3( "EWFSUJTJOH 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 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 trafďŹ c 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 ďŹ nd that we’re just as interested in introducing your business to the community as you are!

n important changing of the guard took place this summer in the Oregon Zoo’s Predators of the Serengeti section. Mary Jane and Darlene, a pair of young female cheetahs from San Diego Zoo Safari Park, have moved in — while Ranger and Strike, the 7-year-old male cheetahs who formerly lived here, made the return trip to San Diego. The switch was made on a recommendation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for cheetahs, a cooperative breeding program that works to maintain a sustainable population of the animals in North America. Ranger and Strike will each be paired with a female partner in San Diego, where it is hoped they can add to the population of this imperiled species. Meanwhile, Mary Jane and Darlene will live at the Oregon Zoo, and caregivers say they are already doing well in their new habitat.

“They’ve been very playful,� said curator Becca Van Beek, who oversees the zoo’s Africa area. “There’s been a lot of typical cat behavior: chase, pounce, ambush and, of course, sleep. One of them even jumped up into a tree, something you don’t see too often, but it’s a natural cheetah behavior.� Wild cheetah populations have plummeted in recent years, dropping by nearly 50 percent since the mid-’70s and putting the species dangerously close to extinction. “We’ve gone from around 14,000 cheetahs on the planet to just over 7,000 in a very short

time,� Van Beek said. “Hopefully, we can help inspire a new chapter in the conservation of these amazing cats.� Cheetahs are the world’s fastest land animals, able to reach speeds of up to 70 mph. These stealthy predators are threatened by habitat loss, poaching and hunting by farmers concerned about their livestock.

he sun is shining, the incentives are great and the Solar Beaverton campaign is nearing its August 15th deadline. This campaign is meant to provide interested Beaverton households with solar information and the opportunity to install solar PV at discounted group rates. Using residential solar lowers energy bills, can increase energy independence and reduces carbon emissions. The two area solar contractors the City has partnered with are Sunlight Solar and Elemental Energy, both of which applied through a competitive bidding process and are trade allies of the Energy Trust of Oregon. Incentives include the soon to disappear Oregon Residential Energy Tax Credits (RETC). The RETC is a tax credit of up to $6,000 applied over 4 years or limited to 50% of the system cost. It was decided by the Oregon State Legislature not to expand the RETC for 2018 so installing solar in 2017 is the last year to utilize this great incentive.

are updated frequently throughout the year, but the sooner you act the greater the incentive will be. The Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) covers 30% of the total amount owed to the contractor and is credited to your federal taxes.

Rats on the Increase

The Hairy Woodpecker

I

n the last few years the rodent FDOOV FRPLQJ LQWR RXU RI¿FH especially rat calls, have increased dramatically with both Norway and Roof rat infestations. Rat’s reproduce at a very rapid rate. A brown rat’s life cycle in an ideal environment would normally give birth to six litters a year consisting of twelve rat pups (although 5-10 pups is more common). Rats reach maturity after 4-5 weeks, meaning that a population can swell from 2 rats to around 1,250 in one year with the potential to grow exponentially. If we were to do nothing as far as control measures, we would be overrun by rats. If the food and

Local History: Our Town - Our Story

Summer Memories from Beaverton’s Past One family’s memories from the 1920s to the 1960s

ou may remember reading a few months ago about Beaverton’s friendliest bird, the downy woodpecker (Picoides pubescens), and maybe you’ve noticed this little guy at your feeder lately. Or have you? The downy woodpecker‘s markings are so similar to its cousin, the hairy woodpecker (Picoides villoses), that it is nearly impossible to tell them apart. In fact, they both have hair-like feathers around the base of their bills that keep sawdust from their pecking activity from plugging their nares (nostrils), although only one of them is called “hairyâ€? because of it. So let’s look elsewhere. The downy’s feathers look VPRRWK DQG Ă€XII\ ZKLOH WKH hairy’s feathers look stiff and bristly (villos is Latin for “shaggyâ€?). At 6 inches, the downy is only 2/3 the size of its 9-inch cousin, and the downy’s petite, thorn-like bill is much smaller than the large, chisel-like bill of the hairy woodpecker that is as long as its head is.

Can you tell which is the Hairy and which is the Downy?

Personally, I have learned to tell them apart because the downy woodpecker is amiable and the hairy woodpecker is decidedly not. I can tell without looking when a hairy woodpecker has landed on or near the suet feeder because it chirps menacingly at any potential rival for its favorite food. But like Richie Cunningham and The Fonz, each is lovable in its own way. Anne Harris is a local author who ďŹ nds watching her avian neighbors quite fascinating as they loudly inhabit a mixed stand of conifers and broadleaf trees behind her home. “Provide food and they will come,â€? is what she discovered, and has been avidly studying their diverse habits ever since.

oot care is especially important for older adults because they may have poorer circulation and drier skin than younger people. Foot care is absolutely critical for everyone living with diabetes, regardless of age. What does good foot care look like? Here are some recommendations from the American Diabetes Association to keep your feet healthy: ‡ Take care of your overall health/diabetes. Work with your health care team to keep your blood glucose in your target range. ‡ Check your feet every day. Look at your bare feet for red spots, cuts, swelling, and blisters. If you cannot see the bottoms of your feet, use a mirror or ask someone for help. ‡ Be more active. Plan your physical activity program with your health team. ‡ Ask your doctor about Medicare coverage for special shoes. ‡ Wash your feet every day. Dry them carefully, especially between the toes. ‡ Keep your skin soft and smooth. Rub a thin coat of

skin lotion over the tops and bottoms of your feet, but not between your toes. ‡ If you can see and reach your toenails, trim them when needed. Trim your toenails VWUDLJKW DFURVV DQG ¿OH WKH edges with an emery board or QDLO ¿OH ‡ Wear shoes and socks at all times. Never walk barefoot. :HDU FRPIRUWDEOH VKRHV WKDW ¿W well and protect your feet. ‡ Protect your feet from hot and cold. Wear shoes at the beach or on hot pavement. Don’t put your feet into hot water. Never use hot water bottles, heating pads, or electric blankets. You can burn your feet without

realizing it. ‡ .HHS WKH EORRG ÀRZLQJ WR \RXU feet. Put your feet up when sitting. Wiggle your toes and move your ankles up and down for 5 minutes, two (2) or three (3) times a day. Don’t cross your legs for long periods of time. Don’t smoke.

o you know the jingle? Some of you may be humming it already based on the title of this article... I know I am!

Many people are provided breaks and lunch periods throughout their workday, though it’s not uncommon to see these so-called EUHDNV EH TXLFNO\ ¿OOHG E\ FDWFKLQJ up on personal emails or running a quick errand. Some people even feel so far behind that they’ll work through these breaks or lunches in an effort to get more done. What if I told you this is actuDOO\ OHVV HI¿FLHQW" ,Q IDFW UHFHQW research suggests that perhaps WKH PRVW HI¿FLHQW VFKHGXOH ZRXOG include approximately 20 minutes of rest or mental downtime out of every work hour! The reason being is that our minds become congested and begin to overload, at which point performance begins to suffer. Taking these breaks to be idle allows the mind to catch up, sort things out, and work at an optimal level once again. That being said, wouldn’t you

love to see your boss or manager’s face if you told them you’d be taking 20 minutes off out of every hour? Odds are they are unlikely to love the idea. So unless you’re self-employed or have a very understanding boss, make the most of your breaks by doing the least you can!

Disposing of Unused Medication By Jessica Brzuskiewicz

hat can we do with our expired, or unused medications? Proper disposal of medications helps keep them from entering the environment through wastewater or run off, and helps keep family, friends, or neighbors safe by preventing diversion. The Beaverton Police Department has a secure drop box for prescriptions and overthe-counter medications available at 4755 6: *ULI¿WK 'ULYH 7KH ER[ LV DFFHVVLEOH WR individuals Monday and Friday from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. Acceptable items: Prescription medications and samples, all over the counter medications, vitamins, pet medications, medicated ointments and liquid medication in leak proof containers. Prescription pills should be out of original containers. Unacceptable items: Thermometers, sharps, syringes, IV bags, bloody or infectious waste, hydrogen peroxide, aerosol cans, inhalers, EpiPens and iodine. If you cannot make it to the secure drop box, and want to dispose of your medication at home the following tips from the Beaverton Police Department can help: ‡ Pills and capsules: Add a small amount of water to them so they are not usable. Then disperse them throughout your garbage.

‡ Liquids: Add an absorbent material, such DV ÀRXU RU NLWW\ OLWWHU UHFDS WKH ERWWOH and put it in the garbage. Household sharps and syringes have special disposal requirements and cannot be thrown in the trash. What if I have household sharps, or syringes to dispose of? You cannot dispose of syringes and other medical sharps in the garbage because it’s illegal in Oregon. The law also requires that medical sharps be disposed of in approved sharps containers, available at many local pharmacies, medical supply stores and Metro’s hazardous waste facilities. Metro runs a container exchange program for residents and households in Washington County. For a $5 fee per container, they will take your approved sharps disposal containers and destroy them per regulations. Call their information hotline at (503)234-3000 between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday.

TPMS Low Tire Pressure Indicator

Why Auto Insurance Keeps Going Up

By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

W

ith the weather getting warmer after such a long winter, with cold temperatures, I have had a few people ask about a certain light appearing on the instrument panel labeled TPMS. Here is an explanation of what the light is and what the system does. The purpose of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in your vehicle is to warn you that at least one or more tires are sigQL¿FDQWO\ XQGHU LQÀDWHG SRVVLEO\ creating unsafe driving conditions. The TPMS low tire pressure indicator is a yellow symbol that illuminates on the dashboard instrument panel in the shape of a tire cross-section (that resembles a horseshoe) with an exclamation point. That indicator light in your vehicle has a history. It’s a history rooted in years of uncertainty about proper tire pressure and many serious car accidents that might have been avoided had drivers known their air pressure was low. Even now, it’s estimated that a substantial number of vehicles hit the road each day with underLQÀDWHG WLUHV +RZHYHU SURSHU tire maintenance with the aid of a TPMS can and does help prevent many serious accidents.

Before this indicator light became commonplace, knowing whether your air pressure had reached unsafe levels meant getting out, crouching down, and using a tire gauge. With few exceptions, this was the only pressure-checking tool ordinary consumers had at their disposal. Then, in response to a surge LQ DFFLGHQWV GXH WR XQGHULQĂ€DWHG tires, the US government passed the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act. One of the outcomes of this legislation is that most vehicles sold in the United States since 2007 include a tire pressure monitoring system of some kind. Not every TPMS works the same way. The illumination of the low tire pressure indicator repreVHQWV WKH ÂżQDO VWHS LQ WKH SURFHVV of either an indirect TPMS or a direct TPMS. An indirect TPMS typically relies on wheel speed sensors that the anti-lock brake system uses. These sensors measure the rate of revolution each wheel is making

and can be used by on-board computer systems to compare with each other and to other vehicle operation data such as speed. Based on the rate of revolution of each wheel, the computer can interpret the relative size of the tires on your vehicle. When a wheel starts spinning faster than expected, the computer calculates WKDW WKH WLUH LV XQGHULQĂ€DWHG DQG alert the driver accordingly. So, an indirect tire pressure monitoring system doesn’t actually measure tire pressure. It’s not electronically processing the same kind of measurement you might see with a tire gauge. Instead, an indirect tire pressure monitor simply measures how fast your tires are rotating and sends signals to the computer that will actuate the indicator light when something in the rotation seems amiss.

T

he cost of auto insurance has increased percentage wise more in the last 2 years than the previous 10. There are many factors causing auto insurance to become more expensive: ‡ Since 2014, the U.S. has seen more new cars on the road. ‡ New car sales hit a record in 2015. ‡ New cars are more expensive to repair or replace with all their new technology. ‡ In 2015, there were more miles driven than ever before. ‡ 7KH VHYHULW\ RI WUDIÂżF UHODWHG accidents has grown worse and insurance claims for bodily injury have become more expensive. ‡ The cost of medical claims has increased more than 32 percent from 2005 to 2013. ‡ 7UDIÂżF IDWDOLWLHV IRU SHGHVWULans, bicyclists and motorcyclists increased more in 2015 than those for auto drivers and passengers. It’s a heartbreaking trend that’s both dangerous and costly. Why, I believe “distracted driving “is a factor. It is estimated

that distracted driving contributes to over 16 percent of the nation’s fatal crashes, that’s about 5000 deaths annually. As an Insurance agent and a consumer, it’s hard to say where our rates are headed, but I believe the increases will level off once the industry stabilizes the cost of repairs, BUT the biggest factor is us. How do we lessen the 3 largest factors contributing to accidents: distracted driving, speeding and GULYLQJ XQGHU WKH LQÀXHQFH" It has to start with the individual, me and you. If we can

lower the carriers cost, our costs will follow. For more information, contact Insurance Partners NW (Home, Auto, Business, Life & Health) at 503-3725621. 14355 SW Allen Blvd. Suite# 250, Beaverton, OR 97005

Both adults and children can enroll in swimming lessons WDXJKW E\ TXDOL¿HG LQVWUXFWRUV This summer, as people head to area pools and local waterways to cool off and enjoy the outdoors, TVF&R advises you to plan ahead for possible risks, learn about water safety and know how to respond to a water emergency.

to alert parents and bystanders to a swimmer in distress. Make water safety a priority by following these tips: Always supervise children, giving them your undivided attention. Keep young kids within arm’s reach of an adult and make sure older children swim with a partner. Use the buddy system — even adults should never swim alone, especially in open water like lakes, rivers and streams. Know your swimming limits, and keep an eye on weaker swimmers. Watch for the dangerous “toos.” Take frequent breaks if you are feeling too tired, too cold, too far from safety, exposed to too much sun, or experience too much strenuous activity. Don’t dive in shallow water or unfamiliar areas. The American Red Cross recommends 9 feet as a minimum depth for diving. Young children should always wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket when in or around open water. Weak or nonswimmers should also wear a

A: ORS doesn’t require transit buses to use a specific lane or stop in a specific fic location. Actually ORS 811.550 Places s where stopping, standing and parking prohibited gives them exceptions to unload and load passengers, so they can stop and stand where other vehicles cannot.

Q:

Is it ever okay to parallel park and block a driveway? What if I own the property or I have permission from the owner of the house or business? A: According to ORS 811.550 Places where stopping, standing and parking prohibited. Section 15 states you cannot park your car in front of a private or public driveway. Nowhere in the statue or subsequent statues does it say that an owner can violate this statue or give permission to violate it. However, I have never heard of anyone getting this ticket without the owner of the property calling and stating somebody was blocking there driveway. Beaverton City Code gives Police permission to tow the vehicle in those cases.

Q:

If my car stalls and I have to leave in on the road for a few days, what will happen to it?

A: If you have an emergency and must leave your vehicle unattended on a highway, turn off the engine, lock the ignition, remove the key, firmly set the brakes, and turn on your emergency flashers. t If a police officer finds a vehicle parked in an area where it is not allowed or if it creates a hazard, the officer may have it moved or require you or a person in charge to move it to a legal stopped or parked position. t If you abandon a vehicle on the highway, police may have it removed and you will be responsible for towing and storage costs. You also may get a ticket for abandoning a vehicle.

World Of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry Grows Up By Nicholas Peterka

D

r. Michelle Stafford started World Of Smiles Pediatric Dentistry in 2008 in the Cedar Mill neighborhood, and later grew her business, adding a North Portland location in 2015 with partner Dr. Staci Whitman. She has recently recognized that many of her patients are not the little kids they once were, but they still are not quite ready for a “grownupâ€? dentist. This has led to the decision to expand the original :HVWVLGH RIÂżFH ZLWK D GHGLFDWHG teen clinic. Q: When did you recognize the need for a dedicated teen ofďŹ ce? MS: We used to see kids throughout their high school years, but we had to keep lowering the upper age limit so we could still accommodate toddlers and age 1 visits. When we started hinting to teens and parents that it might be time to move on to a general dentist, both the patients and their parents were more than a little reluctant.

Q: Where are you opening this expansion? MS: There has been an undeveloped space in my building since we opened the original westside RIÂżFH 6R :RUOG 2I 6PLOHV 7HHQ Dentistry will just be right across the hall, making it really easy for families with older and younger kids.

that can bridge those two worlds. We’ll still have TVs above every chair, but the movie choices will be more mature. The waiting area will still be engaging, but with activities more suited to middle and high schoolers. We are also working on incentive programs that will encourage patients to give back to the community. Q: When do you expect to open the new clinic? MS: We are already scheduling

teens for the new space this December!

Travel Beaverton & Beyond

7 Days on a Boat! What Am I Going to Do? TRAVEL 20+ cruises later, my husband can’t wait to go on another â€˜ďŹ‚oating resort’. For many, the perfect vacation includes the nonstop fun and sun of a tropical resort-style cruise to the Caribbean where you can sample a variety of island cultures and cuisines while working on a terriďŹ c sun tan. Plus, many cruise lines create special themes on board the ship, with entertainment ranging from jazz festivals and classical music concerts to golf clinics and murder mysteries at sea! Cruise ships are oating resorts with all the choices of a ďŹ ne resort. You can lie back in a lounge chair, breath in the sea air, soak up the sun, read a good book, or watch the ever changing seascape. Cruises have come a long way in relaxing their dress codes. Although it is no longer required to be dressier during formal dinner nights, you can still dress up however you feel or perhaps a more ‘resort casual’ look will make you more comfortable. It’s totally up to you. Men should still wear long pants and the no shorts, t-shirts, ip ops rule still applies. What can you do in port? So much you’ll have a hard time choosing! You can explore on your own or take a guided tour, known as excursions. Search ancient ruins or hunt for shopping bargains. Ride www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

a raft over river rapids or ride a horse across miles of hills and beaches. Climb a water fall or pyramid. Follow the footsteps of history or the wake of a waterskiing boat. If there’s still time, play golf or tennis. Learn how to windsurf. Sun and swim at some of the world’s best beaches. Catch a record marlin. Sail, snorkel or scuba dive. Take a cable car to the top of a mountain. Explore dark catacombs. More and more cruise vacations are booked by families with teens and younger children. Most cruise lines provide plenty of supervised activities for kids, especially during school holidays. Teenagers enjoy their own time together, including special teen activities that encourage your teen to interact with other teens. If your children enjoy swimming, sports, games, movies and the adventure of new places, they’ll love a family cruise. You’ll ďŹ nd that children adapt to shipboard life with ease, and you won’t have to wonder what they’re

up to every minute. The trained youth counselors will help keep them safe, busy and entertained. In short, cruising is the perfect way to sample a number of new destinations and try all the things you’ve ever dreamed of doing, while never having to pack and unpack! Without a doubt, there’s no better vacation value. Interested? Give us a call.

Keeping it LOCAL! Sun Connections Travel & Cruises, LLC, located on the corner of 2nd & Lombard in Beaverton, has become the ‘go to’ travel agency for all occasions. Ask about our Travel Layaway plans. For more information or to book your next trip, contact Joyce at 503-6554850 or www.sunconnections.com.

Finnegan Joseph is a neutered six year old DMH who is current on all his vaccinations. He has spent a majority of his life living outside. Joseph was found in Tigard and for the past year had been living in the backyard of a very nice lady who was feeding him on her back porch. Life on the streets was tough and Joseph recently injured his tail which resulted in it being amputated. Joseph entered the foster program after his surgery 2 weeks ago, he has healed beautifully. He is now ready to go to his forever home. It has taken a while for Joseph to build trust with us, but he continues to grow more loving, and likes to have his fur brushed, (he will let you know when he’s had enough). He’s a big talker and enjoys hearing about your day. The ideal setup for Joseph would be a home where he would have lots of room to roam. He would do ďŹ ne in an inside/outside situation as long as he was living in an area where he would be safe from the dangers of the city. His foster home has been introducing him slowly to their cats, he has never shown any signs of aggression and has touched noses with most of them. He will do best in a home without young children. . Finnegan is a beautiful neutered male Bengal mix. He is about 2-1/2 years old, playful, talkative, intelligent, funny, sweet and cuddly. He has tons of energy and needs a home where he can get lots of exercise. A home with children or a dog to play with or maybe another FIV cat. A yard to explore (supervised while on his leash) would be ideal, Finnegan LOVES going for walks on his leash and harness. A great car and plane traveler too. Finny also loves chasing his “mouse-on-stringâ€? type toys. His acrobatic antics will crack you up he is so much fun to watch. Finnegan is FIV positive (not transferable to humans). To maintain urinary health, Finnegan

requires a veterinarian prescribed diet. Do to her health issues, his owner made the hard decision Finnegan needed to be rehomed because she could no longer care for him. Despite his FIV, Finny is very healthy and has many happy years to share his love with you. Are you his next loving home? Dorothy is a beautiful Siamese mix, about 5 months old, spayed and current with her vaccinations. Dorothy came to Cat’s Cradle Rescue after being trapped with her 3 siblings (they were in terrible condition when found) and is making great strides in her foster home at becoming a loving inside kitty. She is a bit shy but becoming more trusting everyday. Dorothy would do best in a quieter home with older adults and would be ďŹ ne with another friendly indoor cat. She will need patience in the beginning allowing her the time to build trust and feel what it is like to be given unconditional love. She loves to play like all young cats, especially with feather toys. Once she has settled you will ďŹ nd you have a very special kitty.

Bonsante Gourmet Dog Food Visit Booth #133 Bonsante gourmet dog food was born of a desire to feed the most healthful, natural and high quality foods to my beloved pets. Disclaimer – I am not making any claims that Bonsante cures anything. This is just my story, why I started making pet food, and the inspiration for Bonsante gourmet dog food.

Our pet food is made with love, and contains only human-grade ingredients and never any preservatives. We prepare our pet foods in a kitchen, not in a lab or processing plant, and use methods of cooking that help to retain the maximum nutritive content in the food. All of our recipes and products are tested and reviewed by our board-certiďŹ ed staff veterinarian, and taste tested by real dogs and cats, who don’t pull any punches where avor is concerned! Even though my journey began with a cat, we have decided to focus on dog food for our agship products. There was so much interest from dog owners and enthusiasts, and we live in one of the ‘dog-friendliest’ areas of the country, so it seemed like the

Having grown up practically in the melon ďŹ elds, they have picked hundreds of melons. They, like their grandfather, Red Hat Melon grower, Mike Hessel, can tell the ripeness and will also predict when you can eat the melon you buy from them, almost to the hour. The Hessels are fun and friendly, the whole family pitches in at market time.

Don and young Trevor started by selling our fruit to the Portland police and the court judges, but when farmers markets began popping up around Portland, we were among the ďŹ rst to sign up.

Back in the 1970s, Don Baird, his wife Kathy, and their two young kids, Trevor and Jennifer, began farming a small 12-acre parcel in Corralitos, California. We grew apples and avocados, kept bees, and raised chickens. We brought our produce to the San Francisco farmers market and proudly sold our apples to Martinelli’s Apple Cider.

As many Portlanders already know the Bull Run watershed supplies pure, clean and fresh drinking water to the Portland Metro area. The Bull Run watershed was selected as a pristine drinking water source in Portland’s early days and continues to be so. We chose the Bull Run name because many of the above ideals truly resonate with us and as such our ciders are made from local, clean, fresh pressed apples.

As I write this, the men’s final at Wimbledon is about to start, and they just showed how many aces Roger Federer’s opponent has had in the tournament so far, and exactly on the court where each landed. I remember during this year’s NBA finals, in game 1, when the Cleveland Cavaliers lost for the 1st time in the playoffs (THE 1st TIME!!!) and Labron James had an awful game. All the sports programs on radio and tv (plus internet/social media pages & blogs) talked about what went wrong, is this the end, what happened (constant analysis). It is everywhere, every minute. Our brains and minds are never off. To compound this, our amazing technology and social media is always on and available as well, and it too is a source of CONSTANT ON for your mind. It also drives anxiety as well. Whatever happened to day dreaming? Sitting, relaxing, disconnecting from the world, dreaming, not thinking, taking in nature, thinking about things other than work, etc...? I read an article recently about the death of Day Dreaming. I must admit, I am always on. Always connected. My mind is always going. I

TURN OFF. CHILL OUT. RELAX. DISCONNECT. UN-FOCUS. DAY DREAM.

For business managers and owners, focus is paramount to success. Of course! However, as effective as it is, there is a downside to too much focus. Yep! Excessive focus tires the focus circuits in your brain, and can exhaust your energy, leading to loss of self-control. This can make you more impulsive, and thus, your decisions can be poorly thought out, and you become less effective!

It won’t slow you down. It will help you charge forward!

BE GREAT! JUST BEING GOOD, KILLS GREATNESS! MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO DO, AND KEEP DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU! LOOK UP…AND SURPRISE SOMEONE!

Truthfully, your brain operates best with some un-focus mixed into your day! Turn off… disconnect… relax… daydream. You will feel better and this will help you develop more creativity, resiliency, and make better decisions. In an era of extreme technology, connection, analyzation, statistics and always being ON, it seems a bit counter intuitive to TURN OFF. Honestly, shutting off (or down) for a bit during the day, will help you enjoy life more, and how you will be a more effective leader!

I should know. I started my first fire a year ago. I was punished, of course. My foster father believes in correction over coddling, and my caseworker dragged me to another therapist. But this problem was beyond behavioral remediation. Words are air, and no element so invisible can reveal what fire can.

Welcome back to KNZW news. Last night, an area teen burned down his foster home, though he was not the only one arrested. While dousing the flames, firefighters discovered bodies buried in a hidden room in the basement. The police chief is expected to make a full statement later today. Stay tuned for more on this breaking story tonight at eleven.

Meet Ademidun, a Super Kid! About Ademidun

The thing that people get wrong about fire is that they assume it destroys everything in its path. This is true at first, but it’s only half the story. The fire isn’t the problem, or even the symptom of the problem. It’s the revealer of the problem. The problem was always there, you see. The things the fire destroys are the constructs people build around the problem to contain it, to hide it, to make the problem beautiful.
