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

I

n January, I presented the 2016 Beaverton State of the City address. More than 300 community and business leaders attended the event, held at the Arts & Communications Magnet Academy. After an introduction by Forest Grove Mayor Peter Truax, I spoke on the theme “Now is the Time for Beaverton,” and outlined my 2016 priorities for the city. These priorities are: • Continuing to grow the local

economy. The city has strong partnerships with groups including the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Oregon Technology Business Center. • Expanding public involvement. Through its nationally-award winning public involvement programs, the city continues to strive for inclusiveness and local volunteerism. • Laying a strong foundation for the future. The need for a public safety center will continue to be a priority in 2016, as well as supporting housing and homeless initiatives through the leadership of the Beaverton City Council.

You can view photos or video of the event, or read my complete State of the City address, at www. BeavertonOregon.gov/SOTC.

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

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

City Updates

Where the Pool is the Classrom! www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

Mayor Denny Doyle will present city updates at three NAC locations this spring. We hope that you and your neighbors will take this opportunity to join us to hear what we’ve accomplished and what’s ahead for Beaverton.

Beaverton’s new Adopt-a-Roadway program is another way that the City is partnering with residents to eliminate litter on our streets and improve livability. The program offers the opportunity for individuals, groups, and businesses to work with the city by adopting sections of Beaverton streets and agreeing to keep them clean. This program offers a convenient and inexpensive way that anyone can contribute to the welfare of our community. Every volunteer who participates will make a positive impact that will help make our city shine. The city will provide volunteer groups with safety vests, work gloves, trash pickers, garbage bags, and traffic safety signs and devices. The city will pick up the filled garbage bags on the following normal business day. Interested in learning more?

2nd Graders Participate in “Kiditarod 2016” By KPTV Staff

H

undreds of local students are staying active by counting their steps, and in one classroom the children used their new pedometers to follow a famous race. Second graders at Sexton Mountain Elementary School in Beaverton participated in “Kiditarod 2016”. The students followed along daily with the Iditarod dog sled race. Each morning the students assembled in teams of three and wrote down their pedometer steps from the day before. They then record the numbers on a graph to see where their team would be on the sled racing trail in Alaska. 7KH JRDO ZDV WR WU\ WR ¿QG ways to get more steps every day. “I would play tag or play with my friends or on the bars,” said second grader Dominique Kozhevnikov. Students were also challenged to read 1,049 pages during the month of March, as the Iditarod race is 1,049 miles long. The students practiced

their writing, as well, by following a musher and keeping a journal about the musher’s race. By participating in the project, some students quickly noticed they were being more active than they realized. “Before I had gotten a pedometer, I thought I was taking like maybe 1,000 steps a day,” said second grader Boden MaF/HDQ ³7KHQ ZKHQ , ¿UVW WULHG it out, I had 1,000 steps in P.E. and I was like, ‘wow, I must be getting a lot more steps than I thought.’” Students at Bonny Slope Elementary, West Tualatin View Elementary and Highland Park Middle School have also taken part in pedometer projects. The Beaverton School District purchased 500 pedometers among the four schools as part of the Active Students Task Force Pilot Program.

prepare your load of construction waste for delivery to a Metro transfer station: 1. Use an accredited asbestos inspector to survey your project for materials that may contain asbestos. 2. Have any suspect materials tested by an analytical laboratory. 3. Bring test results with your load to a Metro transfer station to show it contains 1 percent or less asbestos by weight. Ask Metro about requirements, materials accepted, and fees at Metro transfer stations by calling 503-234-3000. And, don’t be surprised if your contractor isn’t familiar with current guidelines. This was not well publicized and I’m hearing from people every week who have had loads turned away. But, now you know and can help get the word out.

• Binomial Name: Populus tremuloides

he Quaking Aspen gets its name from the movement of the leaves in the slightest winds causing all the leaves to move in unison. A very attractive native landscape tree that can tolerate many types of soils but prefers moist areas with lots of sun, but prefer a cooler climate. The leaves on a Quaking Aspen are darker green on the top and a whitish green on bottom growing to around 3 inches wide and 3 and a half inches long giving it a roundovate form with a pointed tip. The leaves turn a yellow to gold color in fall before dropping. The bark on the Quaking Aspen when younger is smooth green to whitish in color, then develops into a darker grey color that is furrowed. In the wild these trees usually grow in large groves in meadows and often found in the Rocky Mountains.

I \RX SODQ WR GR DQ\ VLJQL¿FDQW home improvement projects, this on-going saga is something you need to read. When last we heard from our hero, Captain Metro, he was battling the evil forces of Asbestos by setting in place information for all Metro transfer station customers. And, it worked – sort of. But, there was confusion among the various customers. They didn’t know where to look for Asbestos. They didn’t know what to have tested by the laboratory. So, Metro re-wrote the information and in early March published it once again on their website, http://www.oregonmetro. gov/tools-living/garbage-andrecycling/asbestos-informationmetro-customers. Now, all Residential DIY-remodelers (think homeowner) and all contractors, along with commercial waste haulers, have a very clear set of guidelines to follow. Failure to follow these guidelines will likely result in your load being rejected by the bay spotter and you’ll end up going back home with your truck or trailer still full of debris. Loads of construction, remodeling and demolition debris brought to Metro transfer stations by residential DIY-remodelers will be thoroughly screened for materials that may contain asbestos.

What is Renewable Energy? By City Staff

R

enewable energy is energy generated from sources that naturally replenish themselves. Such sources include solar, wind, rain, tides, geothermal heat and some forms of biomass. Nonrenewable energy or fossil fuel energy, is energy created from sources that cannot be renewed or created again. Once they are gone, scientists say that fossil fuels can take millions of years to create. Due to the time it takes for fossil fuels to regenerate, renewable energy is an increasingly popular clean form of energy that Beaverton residents and businesses have readily available to them. For example, in just one day, the sunlight that shines on the surface of the earth contains more than twice the energy the entire

nation consumes in one year. Not only is the sun a renewable energy that is clean-burning, meaning it does not emit pollutants in the atmosphere such as greenhouse gases, it is also a reliable source of energy. Since research on renewable energy has increased tremendously in the past few decades, prices for renewable energy have declined VLJQL¿FDQWO\ 'LG \RX NQRZ WKDW the City of Beaverton has sourced one hundred percent renewable energy for its city operations since 2014?

ike many new moms, I thought breastfeeding my ¿UVW VRQ ZRXOG EH HDV\ $IWHU DOO breastfeeding is natural, so why wouldn’t it come naturally? It turns out that breastfeeding is tricky for a lot of moms. After VWUXJJOLQJ IRU ¿YH ZHHNV WR VROYH P\ VRQœV ODWFK SUREOHPV , ¿QDOO\ got some help from a motherto-mother breastfeeding support group. I got great information at the meetings that helped me correct my son’s latch issues, and we went on to have a very successful nursing relationship. As I learned more about breastfeeding, I realized that even though it is very natural, there is often a very steep learning curve for both moms and their babies. This realization made we wonder what I could do to support other mothers as they navigated the joys and challenges of breastfeeding.

bout 15% of Oregon residents lack regular access to affordable, nutritious food in sufÂżcient quantity. Historically, the state has one of the higher food insecurity rates in the nation. Over the past decade, THPRD has emerged as a reliable meal source for those who need it most. The district is expected to serve more than 50,000 free meals to Beaverton-area kids in need this year. “The quality of food that kids are getting affects their growth and development,â€? said Lynda Myers, supervisor of THPRD’s Cedar Hills Recreation Center. “When kids have proper nutrition, they’re more sociable, they’re energetic and better behaved. It makes quite a difference.â€? The district’s Rec Mobile, one of its primary community outreach tools, has been instrumental www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

in THPRD’s service to undernourished neighborhoods. In the summer of 2009, the program partnered with Beaverton School District to serve nearly 2,000 free summer lunches at Center Street Park. The Rec Mobile continues to support the school district’s USDA-funded Summer Food Service Program, providing recreational activities at several apartment complexes and other low-income sites where free meals are served. In 2012, Cedar Hills became a mobile host of the program. More than 5,000 meals were served that summer, and the number has increased each year. Myers said she expects Cedar Hills to serve about 12,000 meals this summer. No registration or fees are required for anyone 18 and under to receive a free lunch. Anyone over 18 can purchase a lunch for just $3.

Center followed within the past year. The program will serve about 40,000 meals during the school year, Myers said, Kids are getting nutrition, and THPRD staff is enjoying an ancillary beneÂżt -- a dramatic decrease in behavioral issues. “The director of our afterschool program could see an immediate change, within the Âżrst week,â€? Myers said. “It’s had a calming effect. Kids are more patient with each other.

The gum industry, valued at 19 billion dollars, reveals that 100,000 tons of gum are bought, unwrapped, chewed, swallowed, spit, and blown annually, making it an extremely successful product line. 7KH PRVW VLJQL¿FDQW FRQWULEXtion to the industry’ success is that their product is healthy, as there are many health advantages to chewing gum. Freshening breath, cleaning up excess food that may

be lodged between teeth, and strengthening the choppers are all perks to chewing gum. In addition to positively impacting one’s oral health, chewing gum for an hour burns eleven calories (Statistic Brain Research Institute). It can aid in weight loss, as those seeking to drop some pounds can opt for gum in the place of junk food. It tricks the mind into believing that it is eating without an intake of virtually any calories. The human heart pumps more

blood to the brain while chewing, FDXVLQJ LQFUHDVHG R[\JHQ ÀRZ in the blood stream and enhances academic performance. Moreover, chewing gum is a stimulant. Gum with sugar included increases glucose levels in the body, which, supplementary to the repetitive action of chewing, increase one’s attention span (chewinggumfacts. com). Analysis conducted by author Jonah Lehrer revealed that chewing gum elevates the cortisol levels in the heart. Cortisol, a stress hormone, indicates how alert one is, and the higher one’s cortisol levels are, the more perceptive they are. However, the majority of schools don’t allow students to consume this popular product. The biggest obstacle in the way

of “legalizingâ€? gum in schools is vandalization and littering. Too many students have proved to be inconsiderate with their ABC (Already Been Chewed) gum and tend to stick it under desks, under FKDLUV LQ ERRNV RU RQ WKH Ă€RRU Likewise, gum wrappers tend WR ÂżQG WKHPVHOYHV ÂżYH IHHW IURP the trash can instead of actually inside the trashcan–a consequence of a student thinking that throwing VRPHWKLQJ DZD\ TXDOLÂżHV DV DQ opportunity to play some garbage basketball. Another hang-up on gum authorization is that some students choose to be super obnoxious while chewing it, serving as a distraction to their peers and teacher. Although it’s completely unnecessary to do so, some students

decide that they need to chew with their mouths open, as loudly as possible, and blow bubbles as annoyingly as they can. Until students are able to demonstrate the maturity to chew gum responsibly, they will not be able WR UHDS LWV EHQHÂżWV

We began exercises and I was destroyed after the sixth exercise. I even puked! After two months of physical training with

the Marines, I never puked again and workouts are fun. I see the physical difference in my body because dedication, commitment, and courage taught me to overcome myself. One thing I loved about our corps was the fact that we all go through the same pain and exercise. Everyone is watching out for you and they make sure you get those exercises executed correctly and push you beyond your limit. We never leave a man behind. If someone is falling back we motivate that individual to not give up and to push through it even though it is extremely painful DQG GLIÂżFXOW I believe if anybody goes to any branch of the military, they need DEP to prepare them for basic training.

The Pros & Cons of Buing Cars w/Tax Money Traffic Q&A: By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

A

new survey found that more than one-third of vehicle owners anticipating tax refunds will spend a portion of their newly found cash on something related to a car, truck, or motorcycle, and the parts to repair and maintain them. The data is based on a survey conducted, which polled more than 2,200 adults across the United States. According to the survey, 34% of current vehicle owners expecting tax refunds said they will spend part of their refund money to buy new or used cars or trucks, or spruce up their current vehicles.

Here are some pros and cons about using your tax refund to buy a used car. PRO: You don’t have to save for a down payment. Most Americans are going to use their refunds for down payments. According to the IRS, the average federal tax refund is $3000 (in spite of what you see in the commercials on Television. CON: You’re not going to get a good used car for $3000. (Honestly, the best used cars outside of D &HUWL¿HG 3UH RZQHG DUH XVXDOO\ in the $8000 to $10,000 range for most of us). Instead, you’re going WR H[SHULHQFH PRPHQWDU\ ¿QDQFLDO exhilaration followed by the realization that you’re further in debt. CON: You’ll end up paying too much. One of the problems with exuberance is impatience.

Your money will be burning a hole in your pocket. You will be itching to spend it, which means you may not do your homework. You may not pay the right value for the used car. In todays world, used cars and trucks are bringing well above Kelley Blue Book values. CON: There’s going to be a lot of people out there just like \RX 3HRSOH ZKR DUH Ă€XVK ZLWK cash. People like this don’t buy the domestic sedans. They want those Mustangs and Corvettes that people are searching for on the internet. That means it’s a seller’s market this time of year. CON: Dealers know you’re Ă€XVK ZLWK FDVK HVSHFLDOO\ EHFDXVH you’re not going to be able to resist saying, “I’m using my tax refund as my down payment.â€? To you it sounds cool. To savvy GHDOHUV LW VLJQLÂżHV ÂłD IRRO DQG KLV money are soon partedâ€?! PRO: You’ll save money by buying now. Used cars keep going up in price, and it seems that this market is getting tougher and tougher. By buying now, odds

are good you’ll be paying less for your used car than if you had waited. It seems many folks will search the internet here and there for a vehicle, contacting several dealers, and looking at way too many cars. This can easily complicate, and confuse you. Just because information is published on the internet, doesn’t always mean it is a fact. In many cases it is a smart move to contact a Broker, to handle the transaction on your behalf. It will save you , time, money, and the all day drama at the Dealership. When you deal with a broker, all you have to do is allow him to do his job, then test drive the car, look it over, and sign up. This far outweighs spending an entire day at a Dealership.

With the Beaverton Police Department

Q:

I’ve noticed an area in my neighg borhood where cars turn leftt when they are not allowed. If I video deo tape a car breaking the law and record the license plate, would the e police cite the violator? A: No. In the circumstances noted, the ofďŹ cer would have to witness the violation. Private citizens may take action to cite under some circumstances but would have to do so by contacting the court or city attorney’s ofďŹ ce if applicable.

Q:

Is there a limit so how tall a monster truck can be raised up to be legal?

A: Typically, 14 feet is the height limit with a few exceptions.

Q:

The other day, a car in front of me did not move when the light turned green and sat there until it turned red again. If a police car was there, would he have given him a ticket? A: Had I been there and observed the violation I certainly would have written a ticket for either Failure to Obey a TrafďŹ c Control Device, or Impeding TrafďŹ c. By not proceeding on a green light a driver would be operating a motor vehicle in a manner that impedes or blocks the normal and reasonable movement of trafďŹ c. By not proceeding on a green light they would also be failing to obey a trafďŹ c control device by not appropriately responding to a green light.

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

I see cyclists using the left hand turn lane riding alongside cars until they make the turn and then go back to their bike lane. Is this legal?

n light of April being Parkinson’s Awareness Month, I’d like to share some insight on WKH EHQHÂżWV RI FRPSOHPHQWDU\ therapies as it relates to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Your care “teamâ€? can include not just your doctors and nurses, but also other health professionals - such as speech, physical and occupational therapists - that can help you live better with PD. Check with your neurologist for recommendations and a referral. Speech Therapy (ST) can help people with PD increase voice volume, improve word pronunciation and clarity of speech, and improve nonverbal communication and facial expression. They can DOVR Âż[ GLIÂżFXOWLHV ZLWK VZDOORZing, by evaluating and treating problems using a combination of PRGLÂżHG GLHW DOWHUHG VZDOORZLQJ

techniques and exercises. Problems often begin with their speech becoming softer and more monotonous in quality. Some patients can even develop a stuttering quality to their speech. Later, trouble swallowing may develop. As with all signs of PD, speech problems can continue to worsen as the disorder progresses. Physical Therapy (PT) can help increase strength, endurance, movement and control, improve ÀH[LELOLW\ JDLW DQG EDODQFH DGdress freezing and fall prevention. PT will come up with a customtailored home exercise program to improve mobility problems and prevent or reduce the impact of future anticipated problems. Occupational Therapy (OT) teaches alternative methods of performing daily tasks that may pose a challenge, such as eating and dressing – that can help people with PD

keep their independence. An OT can evaluate your home and recommend safety equipment to make the home safer and easier to get around VXFK DV VXJJHVWLQJ VSHFLÂżF DLGV or alternatives to allow the person with PD to continue dressing, bathing and feeding himself/herself. Family caregivers can be trained to assist with everyday activities such as getting in and out of chairs, beds and cars, and with dressing, bathing, and eating. Contact your physician if you are interested in any of these therapies.

National Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month By Regina Ford

A

pril is National Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive movement disorder that affects nearly one million Americans and over 7 million people worldwide. The cause is unknown and there is presently no cure. Symptoms that an individual with PD experiences include; • Tremor of the hands, arms, legs and face • Bradykinesia or slowness of movement • Rigidity or stiffness of the limbs and trunk • Postural instability or impaired balance and coordination Holly Chaimov, Executive Director of Parkinson’s Resources of Oregon, says that people with PD do not need to face this disease alone. Her organization serves

about 10,000 people in Oregon and SW Washington with individual counseling, educational workshops, a HELPLINE, suggestions for classes and 60 local support groups to help people with PD and their loved ones. She says there is nothing like the peer support that FRPHV IURP WKH ÂżUVW KDQG H[SHULence of people who have dealt with the disease. Awareness month activities this year include a Linda Ronstadt tribute concert called, “Heart Like a Wheel.â€?

After receiving culinary training in another state, Aaron was left without the support system he needed for successful job placement.

After moving to Oregon with his family, they contacted Oregon State Vocational Rehabilitation (OVRS) for DVVLVWDQFH ¿QGLQJ D MRE IRU $DURQ Rather than sending him straight on interviews, they referred Aaron to Discovery Specialist Nicole Turner-Biesel of Dirkse Counseling and Consulting.

Aaron strongly believes an employee with autism is a EHQHÂżW WR DQ\ EXVLQHVV $DURQÂśV mother, Sarah Davis, wants people to know those with autism are average people who just have a different way of thinking. It takes an open and supportive community for a successful job placement outcome. “They aren’t dumb. In fact, they are often brilliant. They just struggle with extra stuff. They are hard, committed workers who want to be part of the community. Owen is an awesome boss.â€? One day Aaron hopes to open his own restaurant. “I am proud of myself and my accomplishments.â€?

4. Boosted spirits. Light is a natural synchronizing agent, creating a link between the 24-hour cycle of the Earth’s rotation and the rhythms of our own bodies. It’s no surprise then that light can profoundly affect a person’s mood. While a lack of sunlight has been associated with feelings of depression, a glow of daylight overhead will leave you feeling brighter in no time. 5. Federal Tax credit for saving energy!

Beaverton’s Biggest Party, 1980

Taking Control of Your Health!

by Ann Koppy

A

new family-friendly endeavor began in fall 1978 as a City of Beaverton Open House that invited residents to familiarize themselves with municipal facilities and employees. Mayor Jack Nelson had earlier proclaimed July as Good Neighbor Days (GND), promoting the idea of block parties to celebrate neighborliness, build a stronger community, and encourage consideration for fellow citizens. The one-day happening near City Hall, then located at SW 5th Street and SW Hall Boulevard, highlighted tours, stories, bicycle education, hot dogs and popcorn, Hillbilly Bottle Band, rides in the FLW\œV ¿UH HQJLQH VWUHHW GLVFR dance sponsored by KGW Radio, and dunk tank. The city expected it to grow the following year. The expectation became a reality; it H[SDQGHG VLJQL¿FDQWO\ RYHU WKH next two decades, taking its place as the city’s signature event. It may have been inspired by an idea originated by a Montana woman in the 1970s to foster a sense of unity, form friendships, and help those who live nearby. President Jimmy Carter signed Proclamation 4601, setting 6HSWHPEHU DV WKH ¿UVW National Good Neighbor Day.

It’s still observed throughout the United States every September. The free celebration increased to three days in September 1979 to accommodate a larger number of doings. Added were a pancake breakfast, essay and poster contest open to students in grades 4-8 sponsored by the Beaverton School District, and bands. Booths ZHUH OLPLWHG WR QRQ SURÂżW RUJDnizations, however. Its new site ZDV (YHO\Q 6FKLIĂ€HU 3DUN RQ 6: Erickson Street, where it would remain throughout its lifespan. Calling itself “Beaverton’s Biggest Partyâ€?, the 1980 gathering attracted about 15,000 people, adding a 10,000 meter run, Bike-A-Rama, and Gardeners’ Harvest Festival. That was the year Nancy Ryles, Beaverton’s First Citizen, was parade Grand Marshal. There was more: a mush ball game, pioneers’ ice cream social, and about 80 booths, which now included arts/ crafts, food, and games. Robbie Robinson, the Ridge Runners and other professionals supplied lively musical entertainment; off site, the Elsie Stuhr Center hosted an Old Time Fiddlers’ Hoedown. None of this would have been successful without generous funding from local merchants, grants, Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District,

and hundreds of hours volunteered by City of Beaverton employees who staffed the municipal booth, assisted wherever needed, and ran the Bingo tent. B.E.A.C.H. (Beaverton Employees Against Christmas Hunger) used the proceeds to support 20-30 families every Christmas with food and presents delivered to their homes. Every year brought more festivities and concerts. Good Neighbor of the Year, baby crawl, historic displays, triathlon, chili cook-offs (the winner was crowned Women’s State Champion), and Rusty Nails, Portland’s beloved clown and TV show host were a part of the vibrant mix. A diverse assortment of top-notch musicians entertained: Who can forget Curtis Salgado and The Stilettos, Five Guys Named Moe, Portland Youth Philharmonic and ethnic music and dance? Nevertheless, changes were in the air. Another festival called Taste of Beaverton produced by Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce had debuted in 1989. The two major events were held separately until summer 1996 when they merged and GND faded into city history. Interested in more local history?

THE STORY: The play concerns the misadventures and musings of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet who are childhood friends of the prince, focusing on their actions with the events of Hamlet as background. Hamlet, however, mocks them derisively and outwits them, so that they, rather than he, are executed in the end. Thus, from Rosencrantz’s and Guildenstern’s perspective, the action in Hamlet is largely nonsensical and comical. Volume 6–Issue 4 (April 2016) | Beaverton Resource Guide – 31
