#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!

This â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sassyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mountain Goat Loves To Play By Oregon Zoo Staff
L
ounging or grazing among the rocky crags of their Cascade Crest habitat, the Oregon Zoo mountain goats are sometimes so still that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re easy to miss. But, as some visitors know, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole other side to this impressive alpine species. Zoo curator Amy Cutting recently got iPhone video of the active and inquisitive Sassy and her somewhat reserved friend Montane enjoying an energetic bout of poetry-in-motion parkour: bit.ly/ MountainGoatParkour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This video was taken pretty early in the morning when it was still cool out,â&#x20AC;? Cutting said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is also a sign that our females are starting to get along. Sassy has been trying to get Montane to play for a while now, and 0RQWDQH LV ÂżQDOO\ ÂżJXULQJ LW RXW She has only ever lived with an elderly female or a male, who were decidedly less spunky.â&#x20AC;?

Sassy was born May 28, 2015, at the Calgary Zoo and made her Portland debut this February. The zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s male mountain goat, Honovi, has been shy around both females so far, but caregivers hope they eventually will produce offspring,
adding to the population of this iconic Northwest species. Fewer than 10 AZA-accredited zoos currently house mountain goats. Honovi was born at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in May 2010, and came to Portland in 2015 as a companion for Montane. Montane, who moved here in 2009, was an orphan rescued by Idaho ZLOGOLIH RIÂżFLDOV Mountain goats are known for their amazing climbing and EDODQFLQJ DELOLWLHV ,Q WKH 3DFLÂżF Northwest, wild mountain goats can be seen on various peaks in the Washington Cascades and

The Wrong Type of Body Damage By Dr. Byren Bell
I
s it just me or have you noticed WKH WUDIÂżF KDV JRWWHQ ZRUVH LQ Portland and Beaverton? Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) are quite common these days and when thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more cars on the road the chances of it happening to you go up. When it happens, lots of people focus on the wrong type of body damage. Obviously the body of the vehicle gets banged up and typically we take the vehicle to the shop for bodywork but forget our own. When a car accident occurs, it creates so much stress and strain on the human frame that it can literally deform the spine when left uncorrected and undetected. Your spine is important!
When you have an accident, make sure your Doctor:
1. Is experienced in personal injury and has excellent online reviews. 2. Does a proper exam. After all, a problem well known is a problem half-solved. 3. Performs the proper diagnostic imaging. Stress x-rays called ÂłĂ&#x20AC;H[LRQ H[WHQVLRQ VWXGLHV´ DUH strongly advised to properly analyze and diagnose ligament damage and integrity. A radiologist report is also necessary WR GRFXPHQW VXFK ÂżQGLQJV 4. Properly documents a concussion, considering they are so common. Typically, concussion symptoms include dizziness, nausea, headaches and fatigue.
5. Documents any complicating factors (with references) such as female victim, poor head-rest restraint, impact with a trailer hitch, prior whiplash, etc. 6. Has professional massage services on site. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re injured, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be driving to two different facilities. Oregon State law allows the use of licensed massage therapist (LMT) in conjunction with chiropractic adjustment to heal the soft tissue injuries. 7. Has a network of local medical specialists for any necessary referrals. In closing, you should know that if an accident or injury occurs,
Chiropractic Physicians are perfectly equipped to get you back to your regular routine. When a thorough Doctor solves the problem (not being symptom-focused), then the issues are unlikely to return.

you can bolster your immunity. Cut out simple sugars, especially sweet treats and double up on vegetables. Ideally, a person should eat 5 to 9 servings of fresh vegetables per day. 1 serving = ½ cup. Although this may seem like an impossible task, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so hard and can be very tasty. For breakfast, sautĂŠ some mushrooms and chard with your eggs or throw a few leaves of kale into your smoothie. A lunch salad alone can provide you with three servings of vegetables. Try a stir-fry for dinner and snack on carrots or celery. Shitake mushrooms, winter squash, garlic, green onions, ginger and fresh herbs like oregano and rosemary are great for bolstering your immune system. A tea of thyme leaves and honey can help with coughs. Simply add 1 TBSP fresh thyme to a cup of boiling water, cover and steep for 10 minutes.

Zinc (15- 30 mg/day) will really help your immune system â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but take it with food, or it can cause nausea. Exercise Finally, get adequate exercise and rest. Exercise reduces stress and gets your lymph system moving. And sleep is important for healing So pull out your sweaters and warm socks, your favorite teas and books and snuggle up.

Richard Hazelton
Loneliness
By Creekside Village Staff
By Suzanne VanSlyke
I
f you were to visit Creekside Village in Beaverton, you would see the evidence of Richard Hazeltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creativeness everywhere. The resident artist has an abundance of paintings that decoUDWH WKH KDOOZD\V RQ HDFK Ă&#x20AC;RRU Richard shared that he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;painting memories.â&#x20AC;? Even though Richard is best known for his outstanding coastal scenes; desert scenes, farm scenes and mountainscapes are also well represented in his work. At a very early age, Richard began sketching on everything. His father was a part-time cartoonist who was not able to earn enough money to support the family. This struggle to make it fulltime in the business had a lasting impact on Richard. He was anxious for a creative outlet and took a watercolor art class in the evening at Portland State. One pivotal night, the art teacher took Richard aside and told him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need my class, you need to go professional.â&#x20AC;? And with that encouragement, he and his wife Margaret moved to Depoe Bay where they opened up an art gallery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved it,â&#x20AC;? recalled Richard, â&#x20AC;&#x153;some of the happiest
T
times in my life were in Depoe Bay.â&#x20AC;? Later, they sold the gallery in Depoe Bay and moved full-time to Arizona. Coastal scenes now changed to desert scenes. Richard still loved painting but slowed down a bit and in 2015 decided to make Creekside Village Senior Living Community in Beaverton their new home. Location ZDV GHÂżQLWHO\ D IDFWRU EXW WKH IDFW that there was a large art studio on WKH UG Ă&#x20AC;RRU UHDOO\ VHDOHG WKH GHDO Every morning for 2 hours Richard has the spacious, sunlit studio all to himself.

Creekside Village will host an art show to display Richard and several other resident artists work. From 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm on the 2nd ďŹ&#x201A;oor in the Social Room hor dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres and wine will be served. An hour long demonstration (beginning at 1:30 pm) by Richard will surely be one of the highlights. Come and join us for a memorable afternoon that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sure to enjoy. The other featured artist are: Nadine Howey, Milt Hayes, Elaine Lewis, Janis Browne and Charlotte Creamer.
here are many types of changes our aging population experience; some have been expected, some have not. Memory lapses, diminished strength, and balance concerns continue to be the most expected changes. Recent studies show that many older adults are experiencing an equally concerning change, one that creeps up on you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the feeling of loneliness and isolation and if not addressed, can be perilous. The lack of mobility, inaccessible and unaffordable transportation, hearing loss, and other challenges can put someone at risk of isolation. We need human contact and we need to feel connected. Without it, other problems like depression, anxiety and addictions can occur. Chronic loneliness has been linked with high blood SUHVVXUH VOHHS GLIÂżFXOWLHV FRJQLtive decline and a compromised immune system. What are some of the steps we can take to ward off the feelings of loneliness and be healthy well into our golden years? Make plans, make connections and build your community. You

By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson
I
recently received a call from Steve, here in Beaverton. Steve mentioned that his previous car had started to lose the clear coat off of the paint and was wondering how to prevent this on the new vehicle I just helped him purchase? The quick answer is to wash your vehicle at least once to twice each month to remove all the damaging contaminates off of the paint. Of course the sun is a killer to vehicle paint, and if the paint is unprotected (without paint sealant or wax), the deterioration process will certainly be more rapid.
1. Stay away from automated car washes. Automated car washes are your car paint’s worst enemy. The abrasive nylon brushes that rotate at really high speeds can leave hundreds of scratches and swirl marks on the clear coat. Additionally, many do it yourself car washes use high pressure jets of water to easily clean the car exterior, but it too can do VLJQL¿FDQW GDPDJH WR WKH FOHDU coat if the clear coat is not cured properly. Instead of using automated car washes, opt for an Eco car wash. They use car paint friendly detailing methods such as steam cleaning. 2. Don’t use generic/abrasive car wash products. Don’t reach for detergents, harsh soaps or other household cleaning solutions if you run out of car cleaning products for the paint because they contain chemicals that are highly harmful to the clear coat. Also, another reason to refrain yourself from using automated car washes is that most of them use generic low quality products with harsh chemicals that will seemingly

A clean the car exterior well but will also accelerate the rate of car clear coat peeling. 3. Wax your car regularly. A popular car detailing myth is that the clear coat does not require waxing. Wrong! Regular waxing is ideal for preventing car clear coat peeling. Waxing creates a layer that prevents the trapping of airborne contaminants such as bugs and acid rain in the clear coat. It will also protect the paint during harsh weather conditions; constant exposure to sunlight will dry the clear coat, resulting in it SHHOLQJ DQG ÀDNLQJ RII 8VLQJ D wax that contains UV protection can, therefore, reduce the impact of the sun on the clear coat. Waxing your car before the winter hits will protect the clear coat from elements such as road salt and snow. 4. Wash your car before it’s too late. The gathering of dust, dirt and grime on the clear coat and its exposure to bird droppings, tree sap, etc. is inevitable. The best way to take care of these pollutants is by removing them as soon as possible. Leaving them on for too long will result in embedding that will cause the car clear coat to peel when you try to clean them later. Thank you all for reading my monthly article.

Beaverton car dealership got two vehicles back that were stolen from their lot thanks to a smartphone app. The app called Halo was created by a Portland company to give drivers information about their cars and service reminders, but it can also track down the exact location of a vehicle. That feature came in very handy for Beaverton Toyota after two cars were stolen right off the lot. Surveillance video showed the thief break the window of a Toyota Highlander and drive off, and then thieves took a Tundra pick-up as well. When employees realized the vehicles were gone the next day,
they remembered they both had Halo installed on them. Police were able to track exactly where the vehicles were located using the app. “The police came out, and when they saw what this application does, they were thoroughly impressed because they knew exactly where the car was,” said Josh Ford with Beaverton Toyota. “In
fact, when we started tracking the Tundra, it was moving from Swan Island to southeast Portland.” Employees said retrieving stolen cars can often take weeks or months, and by then they’ve often been stripped down. The employees noted that they got these vehicles back with just a couple broken windows and in just 24 hours. Beaverton Toyota was WKH ¿UVW ORFDO GHDOHUVKLS WR EHJLQ using the app. “In this case, our app helped Beaverton Toyota, but you can imagine the safety implications for a family,” said Halo founder Tyler Phillipi.

Striving to Support Beaverton Students by BEF Staff
S
ince 1988, our donors have helped BEF invest over $3.0 million in grants for 1,300 programs and projects that would not have existed without community support. This help inspired and encouraged students at all 51 Beaverton schools last year. During the 2016-17 school year, BEF was able to assist 26,463 students with family science nights, wrote and published their own books, became better readers, built positive adult relationships during before or after school programs, and took another step down their path to success. Every one of these students experienced learning by doing. Every one of these experiences added to our kids’ development in important ways. How do these hands-on learning opportunities become a reality? It is built on a cornerstone approach of sorts. Beginning with Beaverton’s Choice (www.beavertonschoice.org), the hub that brings community and classroom together. Think this of a crowdfunding source for programs and SURMHFWV VSHFL¿FDOO\ IRU %HDYHUWRQ students. Matching time, resources DQG RU PRQH\ ZLWK VSHFL¿F SURMects throughout our Beaverton schools and classrooms, Beaverton’s Choice provides ample opportunities at all levels. Continuing with the Safe and Sound 4 Student Success (S4) program, after school academic support combined with athletics for our middle school’s most at-risk students. For an estimated 800 students at seven traditional middles
schools, and one option school, S4 SURYLGHV TXDQWL¿DEOH FKDQJH LQ behavior marks, academic performance, students actively engaging with a caring adult at school and JHQHUDO FRQ¿GHQFH ERWK VRFLDOO\ and academically at the middle school level. Camp Achieve is another program that mitigates the “summer slide” at the elementary level. Developed as a fun and interactive summer school program, Camp Achieve is offered at seven sites, serving close to 1,000 students this past summer. BEF has a goal of to be at 15 sites by summer 2019. BEF continues to be the
innovative source of emerging programs & projects. BEF teams with Beaverton School District staff as these projects provide opportunities for scalability and/or exploration. Some of these programs include the Future Bus, Summer Rocket Readers and Art Literacy Digital Transition projects. Tying together efforts of school – work – and community support, the annual BEF Phone-a-thon brings together 35 teams of high school students raising community awareness and funds for the Foundation along with gaining work, team and community service experiences. This year will be the 19th year of the phone-a-thon, hosted at our friends at Ruby Receptionists. The 2017-18 school year will have more opportunities with new schools, new students and new ideas. With your support, BEF-funded projects and programs will continue to inspire our students, support innovation in our classrooms and increase student success through hands-on learning in now, 53 schools in our community. Together with community support and driven by inspiration, innovation and gratitude, BEF FRQWLQXHV WR SDUWQHU E\ ¿OOLQJ LQ the gaps, incubate a promising idea, optimizing an opportunity, serving all schools with hands on learning, and connecting the community and classroom.

B
ody-esteem is linked to selfesteem; the worth we assign ourselves. As much as one-third of your self-esteem is related to how positive or negative your body image is. And negative body image is a predictor for weight regain. So developing ways to trade negative, judging thoughts about your ZHLJKW IRU SRVLWLYH DIÂżUPLQJ RQHV will not only boost your selfesteem, but also strengthen your weight maintenance success. How Culture Impacts Body Image Once weight was necessary for survival; now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a risk factor for disease. In the past, our culture YDOXHG WKH DEXQGDQWO\ URXQG ÂżJXUH as an ideal symbol of fertility for women and of wealth for men. Now, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different model â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both thin and athletic. But for most of us, this ideal body is not realistic or healthful. When it comes to weight, fashion and the media set expectations for women
that are impossible to achieve, unhealthy and harmful to body image. Remember You Are Not Your Weight Think of all the things in your life that give you pleasure and make you feel good about yourself: Â&#x2021; Relationships with Others Â&#x2021; Volunteer Activities Â&#x2021; Professional Accomplishments
Â&#x2021; Â&#x2021; Â&#x2021; Â&#x2021;
Physical Activity/Sports Spiritual Endeavors Healthy Eating Personal Hobbies Stopping to consider all these other ways to measure your happiness helps keep your weight in perspective. Maintaining a (realistic for you) goal weight is a priority â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just as all the other important areas of your life are priorities. Be patient â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it may take time to undo the habit of making
Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Get Hooked by the Number What if your weight settles in at three pounds more than your goal? For some, this signals the difference between success and failure. The trouble with this all-or-nothing thinking is that it maximizes the value of a single number, and minimizes the worth of all your healthy changes in eating, activity and body composition. Take a tally of all your positive changes and see if todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight is not just good â&#x20AC;&#x153;enough,â&#x20AC;? but great! Scan Your Body for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phantom Fatâ&#x20AC;? Do you still feel heavy even though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost the weight? Whether you have lost 10 or more than 50 pounds, you may
be mentally holding onto that weight. Like amputees who know they lost a limb but still feel its presence, people can still believe their bodies are unchanged. They may focus on a single area of their body, like their stomach or hips, or they may reject their whole body for the potential to regain the weight. A good question to ask is: Am I criticizing my body or am I celebrating my successes?

Traffic Q&A:
With the Beaverton Police Department
Q:
Do you have to stop at a ďŹ&#x201A;ashing yellow pedestrian crossing signal, gnal, iteven if there are no pedestrians waiting to cross? A: A ďŹ&#x201A;ashing yellow light at any signall means you must proceed with caution, and most likely yield right away. At pedestrian crossings it is saying to watch out for pedestrians. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any pedestrians they probably have already crossed, but remember they have the right away at these locations.
Q:
Is it okay to temporarily park in a handicap spot if I stay in the car?
A: It is illegal to do any of the following: t
Park, even for a few minutes, in a space marked for the use of persons with disabilities, if you do not display the required valid disabled parking permit.
t

S
eptember is back to school month. Approximately 41,000 students will be commuting to and from schools in the Beaverton School District. You will see an increase of pedestrians and bicyclist on our roadways. Those pedestrians and bicyclists are some of our most vulnerable commuters due to age and life experience. The Beaverton Police Department urges drivers to keep their eyes on the road and avoid distractions. Distractions come in many forms like cell phones, car radios, passengers, eating and drinking, putting on makeup, and shaving. As a police department, we have seen all of these distractions and unfortunately, some have led to WUDIÂżF FUDVKHV .HHSLQJ \RXU H\HV on the road and focused on driving is the best way to avoid being part RI D WUDIÂżF FUDVK ,W RQO\ WDNHV D moment of distraction to cause a serious crash.

may see buses out at any time of the day, you are most likely to encounter them between 6:45 AM to 9:15 AM and 2:30 PM to 4:15 PM. Drivers are required to stop for school buses that have their red bus safety lights activated. Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 811.155 governs what a driver must do when they encounter a school bus with its red bus safety
lights activated. Failing to stop for a school bus could result in a $435 ÂżQH Crosswalks are often confusing for drivers. Depending on the type of intersection and where the pedestrian is within the intersection, drivers are required to react differently. There are also different roadway markings to designate
crosswalks. The short answer is every public roadway that intersects another public roadway, whether marked or unmarked, is a crosswalk. If drivers encounter a pedestrian in a crosswalk they are required to stop and remain stopped. Drivers can proceed after the pedestrian is a proscribed distance from their vehicle. What is the proscribed distance you might ask? Again, it is different depending on the type of intersection but to keep out of trouble drivers should give pedestrians three lanes of travel. The three lanes include the lane the pedestrian is in, the lane in front of the pedestrian and the lane behind the pedestrian. The HAWK crosswalks at SW Hall near SW Greenway and SW Farmington near SW 139th require drivers to remain stopped until pedestrians are completely out of the crosswalk. ORS 811.028 and 811.035 govern what a driver must do when they encounter a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Violating a
crosswalk law could result in a GROODU ÂżQH If you would like to learn more about crosswalk laws for free, Beaverton Police Department holds a crosswalk diversion class. The diversion class is offered to drivers who have been cited for a crosswalk violation and is open to the public.

Drivers and pedestrians both play a part in trafďŹ c safety. With more pedestrians in and around the roadways this September, we urge all roadway users to be more aware of each other.

W
ith THPRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic Schlottmann House in need of a fresh coat of paint, the park district didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to look very far for a project manager. Mike Janin, THPRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s superintendent of Security Operations, maintains his ofÂżce in the early 20th century residence, which is part of the Howard M. Terpenning Recreation Complex at 158th and Walker Road, Beaverton. A history buff, Janin successfully angled for the opportunity to put his own distinctive mark on the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told Doug (Menke, THPRD general manager) that I wanted to put historical colors on the house,â&#x20AC;? Janin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The HMT Complex is our Ă&#x20AC;agship, so letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have buildings that stand out. I love restoration, and I knew we could
make the house pop if we could restore it with period colors.â&#x20AC;? Janin got the OK to proceed, provided he did the necessary due diligence. That included tracking down Schlottmann descendants to get the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessing. The Schlottmann House was completed in 1906, after German emigrant Heinrick Schlottmann settled on part of the 92-acre property that is now the HMT Complex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I reached out and found a descendant, Charlie Schlottmann,â&#x20AC;? Janin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He and his older brother Jim said the family would be honored if we put historical colors on the house.â&#x20AC;? Janin also consulted with the Washington County Museum and the color designer at Sherwin Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I laid out the colors, and she agreed they were correct for the
challenging by some corrosion in the foundation. New pillars were fabricated and installed, and some greenery was removed to expose the latticework. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On old houses, that lattice served a purpose,â&#x20AC;? Janin explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a venting system to keep the area underneath the porch dry.â&#x20AC;?

they deserve a loving forever home, how about you? Ellsie & Bobby
Bobby and Ellsie: Bobby is the Siamese mix brother and Ellsie is the brown tabby sister. These two kittens could be adopted together or separately into a home with another super people friendly cat. They definitely need to have another feline in the home if not adopted together. Bobby and Ellsie were rescued at 3 months with their siblings and their mom. They had had very little human contact, but their foster home gave them the patience they needed to feel comfortable and safe so they could adjust to being petted and cared for. They are not quite lap kitties, but with continued time and patience they should do just fine. They are gentle and a little timid but love to play. They are both indoor only kitties and should remain indoor cats. An adult only home would be best for them. They are spayed/neutered, current with vaccinations and house trained. After a tough start in life we think
Violet was rescued after being found outside with siblings at the age at 3 months. She hadn’t had much human contact, but she is getting lots of attention at her foster home. To continue her progress she would need a home with another friendly feline buddy. A buddy to show her she is safe and people are her friends too. She loves to interact and play with other cats in her foster home. She needs to be an indoor only kitty. Once she has gained your trust, she is a sweetheart and very gentle. Her new home should be an adult only home, maybe with older children, who will give her the patience to settle in and feel at ease. She is spayed, house trained and current with vaccinations. Can you be the one to give this little survivor a forever home? Tunchi is a 2 1/2 year old spayed, black, DSH, female, looking for a loving home. Tunchi was relinquished because her owners moved abroad. A bit shy at first,
Violet
Tunchi has blossomed in her foster home. Especially gentle, she loves to have her tummy rubbed, lay next to you, and be brushed and petted. Tunchi loves her new toys, and will follow the da-bird or mouse on a string, wherever you drag it. A wonderful companion for adults and older children.. Not sure how she would do with other pets, as she was an only cat. Microchipped, vaccinated, and healthy. Is currently on a diet, which is easy, as she is a grazer.She can hardly wait to meet you

After seeing various recipes for chocolate made with coconut oil, and liking to experiment in the kitchen, I set off to make something healthy that I would like. Fast forward to 2014. Family members who really liked what I made encouraged me to bring some samples to a healthy living class. Was just looking to just get feedback from people
All of Lonely Lane’s meat is processed at their own packing facility on the farm, which is rare for a family farm; because of this, they are able to offer high-quality meat packing to other small Oregon farmers. Mike and Patty grow the forage that their animals eat, and they also work with a handful of family farms in the Willamette Valley to raise grass-fed and grassfinished lamb, and heritage pork. “Quality and supporting other

but wound up taking over $100 in orders. Realized I was on to something. A short time later got a job offer in the Portland metro area, perfect place to launch Cocacao. Officially opened for business in June of 2016. Response has been great, and we look forward to growing our business in the Beaverton community.
We are a family owned local wholesale bakery specializing in artisan sourdough breads. We do not yeast our sourdough, but age it over three days using a starter culture. This 3 day fermentation process naturally reduces the gluten content of the bread and provides probiotic benefits. The Glycemic Index of our sourdough is the lowest of all common breads. Our breads can also appeal to those with gluten intolerances, diabetics needs and of course all true sourdough lovers.
Shop Local – Give Local – Stay Local… this is how we build a better Beaverton.

iva Village and River West Village invite the public to attend a live video broadcast on September 25, featuring Atul Gawande, renowned surgeon, public health researcher, writer, and author of the bestselling book, Being Mortal. In an interview with NPR’s Robin Wright, Dr. Gawande, an enthusiastic advocate of the Village concept, will address the value of community and choice as we grow older. The broadcast is sponsored by Boston’s Beacon Hill Village to commemorate the 15th anniversary of its founding and the resultant spread of the Village Movement across the country, including the Portland area. Villages are grassroots voluntary organizations that enable persons to remain in their own homes as they age by providing trained volunteers, screened service providers, and memberinitiated programs and events.

Giving it Away for Free

FLASH FICTION
A lot of business owners and managers don’t like giving stuff away for free.
“It ain’t the worst job in the world,” he said, pulling his T-bar from his hip bucket and swiping at the window. “Decent hours, decent pay. And you never know what you’re gonna see.”
There are all kinds of theories about this. Some believe it is productive, and gets people to come back...or simply be more connected with the business. Some believe it doesn’t result in anything productive, and simply trains people to expect free stuff. I have story of how you can give free stuff away, and not end up in this conundrum! Recently, I received something for free, from an employee of a local business I had frequented...and truthfully, it warmed my heart!
How many times do you get zero? How many times have you paid for something, and the employee simply looked down, did nothing, or even engaged their phone rather than you? MANY TIMES I bet!
A couple of weeks ago, I stopped into a Qdoba Mexican Restaurant to grab a burrito for lunch. As I finished and walked out, the employee behind the counter who had helped me gave me something for free. In fact, she gave me 3 things for free:
There are many free gifts you and your employees can give to the most important people to your business...your customers:
1. 2.
3.

A Smile!
t
Thanks...or words!
She gave me a smile!
t
A hand shake!
She thanked me, and told me to have a great day (she gave me words)!
t
Holding the door open for them!
t
Helping them out to their car!
She gave me a friendly wave!
t
I found myself smiling and feeling good as I headed out the door. FYI...this is a fantastic way to have your customers leave your business... with a smile!
Seeing them pull in on a rainy day, and rushing out with an umbrella so they don’t get wet!
t
Your interest!
t
Your time!
t
A WAVE!
Honestly, I half expected the smile and the words...but when was the last time an employee waved to me? And it was a friendly wave...like she knew me personally. Seems basic right? But how many times do you go through your day and only get one or two of these powerful free gifts?
All are powerful! All connect you with your customer and tell them you care! Think about that wave though. Connect it with the smile...connect it with the Hello’s, Thank You’s and Good Byes...and it makes them more powerful.
Wave More! Challenge your employees to wave more! This is free stuff you can give away every single day...and all it will do... Is Help! It might also brighten someone’s day!
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!

“I once watched this guy urinate in his boss’s ficus. It was after five on a Saturday, so I assume the guy was bent out of shape about having to come in on the weekend. Or maybe he just really had to pee, what do I know?”
“Yes, sir,” the other window washer said as she released her own carabiner and climbed over the railing. “The van is tracking him now.”
A few minutes later, both men, clothes covered in fake blood, emerged from the building. “Do you think he bought it?”
“All right, Mr. Window Washer, let’s see who you run to first.”
He lowered the cage another level, and as if talking about accidental espionage had conjured the scene before them, they saw two men alone in a conference room facing off on the other side of the glass. One wore a tailored business suit, the other a track suit. Each pointed a gun at the other.
The man in the track suit opened fire, and the business man crumpled to the floor, blood splattering against the inside of the window. The window washer shouted and lowered the cage to ground
