Message from the Mayor By Mayor Denny Doyle
C
ity Hall has been buzzing with excitement ever since the announcement that the Portland Rose Festival is coming to Beaverton this year. On Sunday, May 28, the city will host the Beaverton Half Marathon starting at Southridge High School. It has been fun watching this come together. I had the opportunity to meet with the executive director of the Portland Rose Festival Foundation and in that conversation this idea sprang to life. I have to give tremendous thanks to both the Beaverton School District and the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, who have jumped onboard to help make this event happen.
This year, I am enjoying serving as the president of the League of Oregon Cities. I am spending time telling Beaverton’s story and advocating on behalf of all Oregon cities. It has given me the chance to reflect on the thing that really sets Beaverton apart, our special relationships that help us work together to tackle community challenges. I feel so lucky to be a part of our community. We know that our success is a shared success. We are fortunate to be in a city where so many of our institutions—from the private sector, the public sector, and the nonprofit world—work so well together. It’s been an interesting start to the year. We’ve had crazy weather and we’ve had a lot of attention on topics that divide us. I choose every day to think about what unites us: our common vision. A vision that is welcoming, friendly, and safe, where we all are working toward a better life. It is a privilege to serve as your mayor, to tell your city’s story to other communities, and share what sets us apart..

BRG History: The Beaverton Resource Guide (BRG) is a free monthly community paper written, edited and published in Beaverton, by Beaverton residents and for the businesses and people of Beaverton, Oregon, USA. Cedar House Media published the first edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That first issue was 16 pages. Today, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by a diverse cross section of public and private community organizations.
BRG Goals: Beaverton has so many positive attributes and many go unnoticed. The BRG is our way of giving back to the community by highlighting what makes our city a great place to live, work and shop. With a focus on small, local businesses, we’d like to encourage our neighbors to first patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores outside our community. BRG Advertising: With our unique layout, colorful design and exclusive community content, our readers are beyond loyal as reflected by our 80%+ readership rate each month since early 2013. Not only do they want to know what’s happening in Beaverton each month, but they also agree with our philosophy staying local. As a business in the Beaverton area, your ad will be seen by those who are most willing to go out of their way to keep their dollars close to home. These shoppers, your potential new customers, also happen to be our best readers! In addition, we don’t print large quantities and mail them out to uninterested parties. Our papers are located in convenient and high traffic locations ready to be picked up by those who shop local. With low rates, targeted distribution and a willingness to provide more value than what you pay for, you’ll find that we’re just as interested in introducing your business to the community as you are!

Climate Change Series Part Two: Climate Change Impacts By City Sustainability Staff
What global and national impacts will climate change have on Oregon? limate change will likely play a role in driving future national and global migrations with many looking at the Pacific Northwest as a place of refuge. Oregon and Washington State are already two of the fastest growing states in the U.S. Why is climate change bad? Climate change is expected to increase the severity, length and frequency of severe weather events such as heat waves, droughts, floods and storms. Sea level rise coupled with increased storm surges will flood many of the world’s most densely populated regions, fertile agricultural land and infiltrate salt water into freshwater aquifers and wetlands. All of these factors will have negative impacts on agriculture, food security, the economy, public health and safety. 14 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 7–Issue 4 (April 2017)
C
Expect warmer and wetter conditions here in Beaverton. The Pacific Northwest will likely experience increased rainfall during the fall, winter and spring with decreased mountain snowfall and much hotter and drier summers resulting in the gradual shrinkage of Cascade Glaciers. This will increase the severity of winter floods and summer droughts with much lower stream flows during the late summer. Increased energy use during the summer coupled with low streamflows will reduce the ability of hydropower facilities to meet those demands. This will also increase forest fires, resulting in poor air quality, loss of timber resources, ecological degradation and increased winter flooding and landslides.

o matter what time of year it is in Beaverton, suet feeders are woodpecker magnets. If you add an upside-down feeder (that foils the starlings), you will likely be introduced to the smallest – and friendliest - woodpecker in North America: the Downy. So named for its soft, fluffy feathers that are black and white with a splash of red like others of its kind, its 6 inch size and ¾ ounce weight make feeding upside-down quite easy (especially since gravity sends the suet cake to the bottom of the feeder). The Downy’s unusually short bill – just 1/3 as long as its head is wide – has no trouble reaching the suet that comes to rest there. Unlike its bigger cousins with their long, chisel-like bills, the Downy is able to use its petite pecker to snag insects from nooks and crannies that larger woodpeckers cannot reach on twigs and branches that would collapse under their weight. Audubon’s notes describe the Downy as “unsurpassed by any in its tribe in hardiness, industry, and vivaciousness.”
This friendliest of birds will even eat right out of your hand! Here’s how: • https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=gvPHt8wZbpU. Oddly, Downy males refuse to share foraging grounds with their mates, showing that charity does not always begin at home. Anne Harris is a local author who finds 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,” is what she discovered, and has been avidly studying their diverse habits ever since.

Otter Babies! River otter Tilly is raising 2 new pups at zoo

By Oregon Zoo Staff
illy, a North American river otter, is raising two tiny pups at the Oregon Zoo. The new arrivals — one male and one female — were born Feb. 26, and it will likely be another month or so before visitors can see them in their Cascade Stream and Pond habitat. “Young river otters are extremely dependent on their moms, and Tilly has been very nurturing,” said Julie Christie, senior keeper for the zoo’s North America area. “She did a great job raising her
first two pups, Mo and Ziggy, both born in 2013. And she was a terrific adoptive mom to Little Pudding, the orphan pup who was
rescued from a roadside in 2015. We expect she’ll do well with her new babies as well.” Keepers have yet to decide on
names for the new pups, though it is likely they will be named after local rivers or waterways. Tilly, named after the Tillamook River, was rescued after being found orphaned and injured near Johnson Creek in 2009. “This will be the first time Tilly has raised more than one pup at a time,” said curator Amy Cutting, who oversees the zoo’s North America and marine life areas. “It’s exciting that they’ll be growing up together and have the opportunity to play and wrestle with each other.” Once threatened by fur trappers, river otters are now considered rare throughout most of the U.S. due to habitat destruction and water pollution.

To control spiders, pest management professionals (PMPs) must use an integrated approach, while also educating customers about proper techniques to prevent future infestations.

According to WSU, the hobo, or funnel-web, spider is "one of the most common spiders found in houses in the Pacific Northwest." While not nearly as venomous as black widows, their bites may cause moderate epidermal damage and flulike symptoms. They are also quite aggressive. 4 to 5 cm in diameter, hobos are a brownish color with a light vertical stripe along their sternum. They live in funnel shaped webs, usually in dank, dark places, like under rocks. Hobos are very similar in design to some harmless Northwest spider species, with only microscopic differences. www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

April – Alcohol Awareness Month
Spring is a Time of Rebirth
U
By Rhonda Kay Leonard
nited Homecare Services joins the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) in observing Alcohol Awareness Month in April. One might not think of alcohol as an issue for people who are aging, but people of every age are at risk. The National Institute on Aging finds, “Families, friends, and healthcare workers often overlook their concerns about older people drinking. Sometimes trouble with alcohol in older people is mistaken for other conditions related to aging, for example, a problem with balance. But, how the body handles alcohol can change with age. You may have the same drinking habits, but your body has changed.”
If you drink, be aware of how medications, both over-thecounter and prescriptions interact with alcohol. Before taking any medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist if you can safely
drink alcohol. Also be aware that major life changes can sometimes contribute to unhealthy levels of alcohol consumption. Loss of loved ones, moving to a new home, or failing health can cause loneliness, boredom, anxiety, or depression. If you wonder if you drink too much, don’t hesitate to get help. Many older adults decide to quit drinking in later life. You can do it too. There are many things you can do to cut back or stop drinking. You can: • Count how many ounces of
alcohol you are getting in each drink. • Keep track of the number of drinks you have each day. • Decide how many days a week you want to drink. Plan some days that are free of alcohol. • Ask for support from your family and advice from your healthcare provider. Get the help you need to quit.
Join United Homecare Services and NCADD by participating in the Alcohol-Free Weekend, March 31st-April 2nd. Nurture your health and continue to enjoy life to the fullest.

and Inspiration
T
By Celia Lambert, PhD
he Merrick-Webster dictionary says: Inspiration has an unusual history in that its figurative sense appears to predate its literal one. It comes from the Latin inspiratus, “to breathe into, inspire” and in English has had the meaning “the drawing of air into the lungs” dating back to the middle of the 16th century. More commonly today we think of inspiration as a noun and think of it like google does as: the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. Spring is all about creativity. What will you plant in your garden? What new hike can you go on? What new activity will you try? It goes hand in hand with imagination. Albert Einstein says “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” Everywhere else some might say.
Daniele Quercia, a researcher from Cambridge, England is developing what he calls Happy Maps. These are maps that give you options for traveling to your destination. Rather than the shortest distance or fastest way as is traditional on a map app, he is creating maps with choices of the most enjoyable path based on beauty, smells, sounds and memories. It’s a great idea even if you don’t use the app. Look around, spring is here, take a deep breath and allow your imagination to guide you to somewhere new.

id you know there is an opportunity for Oregon businesses to receive a Federal income tax credit and reduce their tax liability each year? The program is called “Work Opportunity Tax Credit” and is available as an incentive to employers to encourage the hiring of individuals who face barriers to employment. These barriers include people in the following target groups: Veterans, TANF, SNAP, SSI and Unemployment recipients, and individuals with disabilities referred through The State of Oregon, Department of Vocational Rehabilitation. The amount of the tax credit varies depending on the target group, the wages paid and the number of hours worked during the first year of employment. The maximum tax credit on first year wages is between $1,200 and $9,600; quite a substantial incentive to put people in our community to work!
The process is simple and outlined completely with required documents on the State of Oregon website: • www.oregon.gov/EMPLOY/ Businesses/Pages/WorkOpportunity-Tax-Credit.aspx Important points to remember: • A Pre-Screening Notice and Certification Request for the Work Opportunity Credit, Form 8850 must be completed on the day of the job offer with signatures appearing in ink or pencil, or signed electronically. • If the new employee indicates potential WOTC eligibility on page one of Form 8850, complete page two of this form. • Have the new hire complete ETA Form 9061 (Individual Characteristics Form) after they start. • Request certification by following the link to the online WOTC portal and entering the information collected on the 8850 and 9061 within 28 days of the time the applicant starts work (or submit via mail.) • An untimely application will result in the denial of the certification request.
• Keep copies of the documents mailed and the determination letter received. Local business owner, Donny Bradetich of HDE Home Care says the incentive is “a nice cash infusion around tax time”. HDE is in the business of connecting seniors and people with disabilities to professional caregivers in Beaverton and the Portland Metro areas. Donny believes there is “value out of putting people to work” and finds that many of his hires who qualify for the tax credit are very eager and willing to work. The hard costs are fixed but this tax credit is a “bonus to the business”.
Dirkse Counseling and Consulting, Inc. works closely with local businesses like HDE Home Care educating about all of the benefits of hiring individuals with barriers to employment. Their specific mission is to improve lives and strengthen the community by bridging the gap between job seekers with disabilities and local businesses.

Ask The Beaverton Car Guy
Foggy Windows By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson
will dehumidify the air and clear windows faster.
Hello Beaverton Readers! his month’s article is in response to Barbara & Esther who both emailed in asking why their car windows keep fogging up more than usual?
T
What causes foggy Windows? Windows fog up on the inside when warm, moist air in the car meets colder glass surfaces, causing condensation. In its simplest form, it’s too much water in the air, and it condenses on the cool glass. It condenses on the inside because the outside air is colder and when it’s colder outside that lowers the relative humidity point. It’s like when you see your breath when it’s cold outside. Your breath generally has 100 percent humidity in it, but you’re only seeing it when it’s cold outside because that’s when it’s reaching the point where it’s causing fog.” www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
Use warm air Warm air contains more moisture, but it’s the relative humidity that matters, so warm, dry air coming through the defroster will clear the glass faster than cool air. Humidity levels inside a car can increase from passengers breathing, clothes that are wet from rain, snow that people drag in on their boots, damp floor mats and — a classic example — an amorous couple. Even a hot pizza can elevate moisture levels in a car. What to do? When the inside windows fog up, I advise to turn on the defrosters (front and rear) while turning up the heat. The air conditioning comes on automatically when the windshield defroster is turned on in most current vehicles and this
Use fresh air Also keep in mind that it’s best to use fresh air instead of the recirculation mode because the latter will recycle the moist air that was the cause of the problem in the first place! Newer cars Keeping inside windows clear of condensation may be less of an issue than in the past. Several current vehicles, with automatic climate control systems have humidity sensors that can trigger anti-fogging modes. Of course having clean windows on the inside will help as well.
The system will take care of fogging by itself. It’s sensing the levels of fog and the temperatures on the glass, and it’s making corrections, either blocking recirculation or engaging the (air-conditioning) compressor or in the auto mode adjusting the blower, warming the air, going to defrost - all automatically. The Driver of the vehicle doesn’t have to do a thing! Older cars On Older vehicles without automatic climate control, it is best to manually set the heater to defrost, with the temperature on warm or hot, and make sure the air selector mode is set to fresh air. If the vehicle is equipped with Air Conditioning turn this on as well as it will automatically dehumidify in cabin of the vehicle. Note that many of today’s vehicles have interior cabin filter located behind the glove box.
These filters can not only become soiled and plugged with dust but they can also can get damp, which may cause windows to take longer to clear. Replacing this filter is only a 5 minute job.

And the Password Is...
The Legal Side of Real Estate
I have enough passwords in my life! ello readers, I just had to create yet another over the weekend to access some training modules. I literally stared at the screen thinking, “I can CREATE a password, but can I REMEMBER it?”
H
There should be an easier way. Managing your passwords... does it drive you crazy? Here are tips from the experts as well as a warning story. All the computer experts tell us, “Don’t write your password on a sticky note on your monitor.” Good advice! At some point, the sticky stuff will dry out, the paper will drop onto the floor, and you’ll find your password stuck to someone’s shoe. My friends who do computer networking and security for a living use special programs for storing all their hundreds and thousands of passwords. That’s the smart way to do it, I guess, but what happens if you lose that master password? One friend uses an alphabetical phone/address book and writes the password in pencil so it can be updated on schedule. I know you’re thinking: “What if there’s a fire?” She keeps that book in in a fire safe! Experts take this seriously, and I keep telling myself I need to develop better habits. Logging in is the stressful part. Did I remember it right? Will I get locked out for using the wrong password too many times? Logging out of secure applications and logging off your computer is also very important. As a home-based business, I know I’m supposed to log off my computer and shut it down at night. However, Murphy’s Law always has its way with me. The minute I turn off the computer, I need to use it for something else. When doing your accounting, either in the cloud or on a program on your computer, it’s wise to log off at the end of your session instead of waiting until the end of the
B day. I find that it’s too easy to forget, especially if the screen is dark. You will leave the office thinking everything is safe and secure. What’s a physical breach? While we think of most password issues as being done by hackers in foreign countries and criminals scouring through our garbage can, some breaches can take place on your premises. Think of the variety of people who might have access to your work or home computer, either during the day or overnight: • Building owners and managers • Leasing companies • Custodians • Building maintenance companies • Waste haulers • Recyclers • Delivery people • Customers and competitors • Salespeople • Visitors • Family members Even people asking for directions or wanting to use your phone should be supervised. I recall dropping off some paperwork at an office. The receptionist carried the papers back to the manager for me. On her computer monitor were all kinds of stickies with what seemed to be passwords.

uying a home will involve a Purchase Agreement that forms a written and binding contract between the Buyer and Seller. Both parties should know how to manage their risk. This is the first article in a series that will address common issues, but nothing here should be considered legal advice or opinion - for that you need an attorney. These are great lessons in Risk Management and Due Diligence straight from the desk of real estate attorney Kate Brooke. Question: How can a Seller terminate a Purchase Agreement? Kate’s Answer: “Buyers have contingencies. Generally, sellers do not. Therefore, once your seller signs a purchase and sale agreement, the seller likely has no option to terminate the contract unless the buyer agrees to terminate or the buyer has breached the contract’s terms…” Question: An Unmarried Couple wish to purchase a home together
– what is best practice? Kate’s Answer: “If your clients are an unmarried couple, they should not purchase real property together without having a Tenants In Common (TIC) agreement to guide them in case of a break up, disability, long term illness...” Coming in the next months: • The right way to handle Multiple Offers • When is a “Cash Offer” NOT cash? • Best practice when purchasing “SOLD AS IS” property • And more… Feel welcome to contact me with questions or Real Estate services.

Does the County Sheriff have jurisdiction within the Beaverton City limits and if so, do they regularly patrol our city streets for traffic violations? A: Yes, as a sworn law enforcement officer in the State of Oregon you can enforce state/federal laws anywhere in the state. ORS 133.235 Arrest by peace officer states (1) A peace officer may arrest a person for a crime at any hour of any day or night. (2) A peace officer may arrest a person for a crime, pursuant to ORS 133.310 (Authority of peace officer to arrest without warrant) (1), whether or not such crime was committed within the geographical area of such peace officers employment, and the peace officer may make such arrest within the state, regardless of the site of the offense. ORS 810.410 Citation by peace officer says that a police officer may issue a citation to a person for a traffic violation at any place within or outside the jurisdictional authority of the governmental unit by which the police officer is authorized to act: (a) When the traffic violation is committed in the police officers presence; or (b) When the police officer has probable cause to believe an offense has occurred based on a description of the vehicle or other information received from a police officer who observed the traffic violation.

eople have been receiving calls recently from Detective Robert Williams with the Beaverton Police Department. The problem is, there is no Detective Robert Williams with the Beaverton Police Department. Beaverton police are warning people about this new scam call making the rounds in the community. The caller tells the person on the other end of the phone that they are a suspect in an investigation and they will be arrested if they don't "settle up." The Beaverton Police Department wants everyone to know that officers will never call and ask for a financial settlement in place of an arrest. Anyone who receives such a call should hang up right away. However, if someone leaves a voicemail claiming to be a Beaverton officer, it's advised to return the call since it might actually be an officer.

If, upon calling back, the person who answers demands money, hang up. That is a scam. "Please share this information with friends and family and let's all make sure this scam doesn't snare another victim," according to a Beaverton Police Department statement. There are a number of similar phone scams routinely targeting people throughout the area, including crooks claiming to be IRS investigators, law enforcement officers, charities, home repair companies, public utility workers and even family members in need of bail money. Police said it's important to remember to never give personal
or financial information to an unsolicited caller or emailer and be suspicious of callers who demand immediate payment for any reason. If you receive a suspected scam call, police say to disconnect without providing any information or taking any instructions from the caller and contact your local law enforcement agency.

detainers or requests for notification, therefore potentially endangering Americans.” The Declined Detainer Outcome Report does not accurately describe the difficulties or potential legal ramifications associated with honoring ICE detainer requests. In April of 2014, a judge for the US District Court of Oregon found Clackamas County violated Maria Miranda-Olivares’ constitutional rights (Case No. 3:12-cv02317-ST). Clackamas County honored an ICE detainer and held
Ms. Miranda- Olivares ultimately costing taxpayers in excess of $100,000. Additionally, any agency that honors an ICE detainer is subject to civil litigation. The Clackamas County court ruling led Washington County, along with every other county in Oregon, to immediately stop honoring ICE detainer requests. Washington County informed ICE officials that it will honor any warrant or court order to detain a person. Washington County will continue to follow the court’s clear guidance that these detainer requests are unconstitutional.

The Misconceptions of Parental Leniency
TVF&R Hosts Scout Day
A
By Emery Hanel (12th Grade)
recently published psychological study reveals that a strict parenting style is more likely to cultivate an environment in which a child will regularly lie. This is a consequence of the fact that they feel unsafe being honest with their parents. Philippa Perry, renowned author and psychotherapist, confirms that too strict of parental guidance has a negative impact on children’s integrity. Perry attests that such authoritarian parenting enables a child’s willingness and ability to lie. Moreover, too strict of parenting has been proven to have severe ramifications on the mental and emotional health of a child. Research indicates that children of authoritarian parents are at risk of the developing low selfesteem, psychological issues such as depression, anxiety, and an inability to control anger. These children are also more likely to bully their peers. Authoritarian-type parenting teaches children to use fear is a source of power over others. It can also do the exact opposite: teach children to always be submissive. This encourages children to never stray from routine and be afraid to experience the new. These children are more likely to be irresponsible and lack accountability when they are adults. While parents may think they are teaching their child to be obedient, they are actually conditioning their child to never think on their own behalf. These children
have a poor sense of intuition as they rely on their parent’s rules to dictate the choices they make, and these children are more likely to struggle with independence and decision-making later in life. Likewise, children raised in strict households often struggle to define themselves and create a sense of character. Because free-thinking is limited in strict households, these children never have the opportunity to challenge themselves by discovering their own opinions on the world– they merely regurgitate what their parents believe. This breeds an intolerance of others, relating to the idea that these children are more likely to be bullies than their counterparts with more lenient parents. Children with strict parents also tend to see the world as more “black and white”, “good and bad”, and “right and wrong”, rather than for what it really is: a place of diverse perspectives in all the facets of life. One of the most notable deterrents keeping parents from being more lenient with their children is the belief that by allowing children more freedom, children will make bad choices. However, studies overwhelmingly reveal the exact opposite: children who
are disciplined and monitored more harshly are more likely to be rebellious. The Journal of Developmental Psychology claimed that allowing children to express how they feel– especially in a situation where they disagree with their parents– incites “more complex thought and language development”. Children raised in households with more permissive parents are more likely to have better communication skills than their counterparts raised in households with authoritarian parents. Likewise, they are more likely to have a stronger, healthier relationship with their parents, reach out to leaders and authority figures, and have higher self-esteem. Children who feel safe being honest with their parents are less likely to develop psychological issues such as depression and anxiety. Children with permissive parents are likely to mature and eliminate dependency on others faster than children with authoritarian parents.

Should Middle Schoolers Be Dating? By Macy Montgomery (Grade 8)

The next day came around and surprisingly Preston asked Emma out again. Emma was so excited. If he came back, it must be love. Hours pass by and their feelings grow. On day two of their relationShe says “Yes.” Emma and ship, Preston slips his hand into Preston are history, and the betrayhers. It’s real. And then tragedy al crushes Preston and Tyrone’s strikes again! The whole sixth ‘ever-since-elementary-school grade is rocked by scandal. friendship’. Everyone was sure Preston and Dating in middle school is Emma were wildly in love, but, ridiculous. just an hour after their first handMost of the time, it is unwantholding incident, Tyrone sneakily ed and creates an overwhelming asks Emma out. 22 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 7–Issue 4 (April 2017)

amount of drama. Although it can make these lovers happier and cheerful for a short period of time, it can be stressful, distracting, and lead to depression. Relationships are filled with emotional highs and lows, and those feelings can prevent a middle-schooler from learning lessons that will help them all of their life
Is it worth it? At the time, your middle school relationship might feel like the world to you, but is it really worth it if you are going to lose a friend? In Tyrone’s case, he immediately apologized to both Preston and Emma for betraying them and they later became friends again. But this is not the situation in all cases. Sometimes the beginning of a very short romantic relationship can cause the ending of a very long friendship. Your friends who you thought would always be there, disappear in a flash. If you are a middle schooler considering a relationship, think about the consequences and everything that comes with it. I know, I know. You’re different. You’re more mature. None of that will
happen in your middle grade relationship. It’s going to last forever. Yeah right. So, if you don’t take my advice, and you’re all set to embark on this perilous and completely needless odyssey anyway, at least take these pick-up lines which I have provided for your consideration: • I seem to have lost my number.

Art on Broadway April Exhibit: “For the Love of Glass”
Local glass artist, Jim Scheller, exhibits his work at the Marietta/ Cobb Museum of Art in Georgia. This exhibition will feature thirteen artists, the majority of whom attended the Pilchuck Glass School founded by glass artist Dale Chihuly of Washington State. Jim’s work is available locally at Art On Broadway Gallery in downtown Beaverton. Come see his beautiful glass creations!
ing time has undergone change throughout the years but for artist Michael Kelly the pocket watch remains his preferred means of tracking time. His grandfather wore a pocket watch as did his father, so it is just natural that this convenient and stylish piece of jewelry would be a part of Michael’s daily routine and a way to connect with his past. He is also an avid collector of these charming time pieces. This show features a recent series of paintings that pay homage to the pocket watch.

ROCKY & RAMBO: We are a pair of bonded senior brothers. Our previous person lost our home when she fell on hard times. We lived in a small car for a while with a dog, 2 more cats and a parrot until we were given up for adoption so we could find a new forever home. I am Rambo (gray stripped), I am friendly and love attention.

Our foster mom says we are great house guests. We had a visit to a vet recently and given good reports for two seniors, age 12. We enjoy looking out the window and being entertained by neighborhood dogs, cats and all the birds. We like being brushed by our foster mom and really enjoy our lap time and snuggling with her. When we are adopted we would give you lots of love, and be great companions, however it should be a home without much activity.
OSHU: I am a 3-year old male black & white tuxedo who loves to snuggle, being petted, chasing laser pointers and sleeping next to my human(s). I may take awhile to get used to my new home and humans, but once I do I will be affectionate and your snuggle buddy. I have been living with a 4 year old and a small, I must be honest, ‘yappy’ dog for the past year. The noise and activity has been to much for me to adequately adjust. A quieter home would be best for me to thrive and show you what a wonder cat I am. After being attacked by another animal I prefer to be an indoor only cat. My mom says I am a great house cat with good litter box manners. I was told by the Vet last month I am in very good healthy. I hope someone will give me another chance for a forever home. SABOT: I am a 9 year old male Manx. I always wants to be involved in whatever you are doing. I am told I am smart, sweettempered, affectionate and very talkative. I will always tell you what I need, especially at meal time. I am indoor only and have excellent litter box manners. I
love to give kisses and headbutts, and will love you forever if you scratch my ears or forehead and bridge of my nose. I love adults and other cats, but will hide if dogs and/or small children are around. I am being given up for adoption because my current mom is returning to school and new living arrangement cats are not welcome. She wants me to receive the attention and affection I have always received from her. Please call if interested in giving me a forever home

Facelift at The Book Corner COMMUNITY
The New "Friends" of the Beaverton City Library (NFBCL) volunteers have been hard at work these past two months, scrubbing and painting every corner of the store. The Book Corner is now awash in metaphorical color —Melting Glacier, Misty Valley, and Goosebill. We have new lighting, new and refurbished book shelves throughout, and the entire place has been organized to improve your shopping experience. For our new store manager, Abraham Kaempf, we have converted one room into an office which includes additional storage and handling area. In the backroom where we process all of your valuable donations, the space has been reorganized to also improve handling and storage.
The Book Corner will reopen on Tuesday April 4, and we will host a Grand Opening on Saturday April 8 Come celebrate our new look, try out one of our new comfy reading chairs, and enjoy refreshments. New hours of operation will be: Tuesday-Saturday 11am to 5pm.
Message from Sharon Van Buren, President of the New Friends of the Beaverton City Library The long winter is almost over and spring is just about here, perfect timing for The Book Corner (TBC) reopening on Tuesday, April 4th. A Grand Reopening celebration is
scheduled for Saturday, April 8th. Stop by to celebrate with us and enjoy refreshments. Come meet new manager, Abraham Kaempf. Abraham, originally from Raleigh Hills, brings five years of retail management to TBC. He is looking forward to working with the TBC volunteers—folks who share a love of books in support of their local library and community. Abraham has created an AbeBooks account to sell our vintage and collectible books and he has applied new technology for identifying a book’s value. He has also im-plemented a new cash register system. Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped
throughout the renovation: Peter Bush, Donna Jeffers, Ken Johnson, Shelley Landers, Pat Lewis, Shirley Pease, Dean Renner, Shirley Swenson, Behzad Vesalpour, Ginny Stricker, Michele Briley, Sharon Yoes, and Dorothy Zaccaro. Kudos to those who kept the Amazon store operating during the closure; we earned $3,000 to $4,000 each month. I want to give special thanks to the following board members: Kyle Rappleyea for coordinating the remodel; Ray Grant for applying for an organizational update and enhancement grant; Tom Sanson for tackling publicity; and Jim Bartos

Doha and Christina have had the opportunity to immerse themselves in local culture and share their culture and traditions with their host family, as their host mom explains, “hosting an STS Foundation student is like adding an international branch to your family tree.” Through STS Foundation, their cultural exchange experience also allows involvement in volunteer opportunities and exposure to local government. In February, Christina and Doha celebrated Oregon’s 158th birthday with a trip to the Oregon State Capitol, where they had the honor of meeting Senator Olsen. Learning about cultural differences has also been an important realization, as Doha reflects, “After coming here I realized a really important thing, which is that you don’t need to have the same habits, values, thoughts or culture to get along, you just need to be nice about it, and then there

This is a limited series on the islands of the South Pacific. Each month will feature one of the iconic islands of the beautiful South Pacific. Thanks to my special relationship with several south pacific wholesalers, we have the most comprehensive travel packages to any of the islands at great airfare and hotel package prices. Great for honeymoons and other romantic special occasions. About the Marquesas Islands A 3 hour and 45 minute flight from Papeete, the Marquesas feel fierce and untamed, seemingly lost at the end of the earth. This world belongs to the past where the spirits of the ancient ‘ma’ohi’ still live. The islands rise in sharp pinnacles almost in defiance of the Pacific Ocean. Even now, some of the islands remain virtually untouched since the era of the European exploration. Known as Henua Enana (Land of Men), the isolation of the Marquesas has created a race of strong people of immense pride and a fascinating culture. The Marquesan language is unique to the ‘The Islands of Tahiti’. The lilting dialect reflects the ancient Polynesian tongue of ‘ma’ohi’, the original island settlers. Natu-
the world and exist among the land and the gods.
ral wonders abound as 1,000 foot waterfalls cascade down volcanic cliffs, and towering mountains disappear into the clouds.

Beaverton Farmers Market
Message from the Market Master
Wild Mushrooms
MARKET
The Gems of the Pacific Northwest -
It has been an incredibly cold and snowy start to Winter this year. The challenges to our farmers to grow in this weather were enormous! Still, we are amazed at the quality and variety of produce they were able to tease out of the frosty ground. Starting this season, the Beaverton Farmers Market will hold our Winter Market every Saturday in February, March and April which means that our customers will be able to enjoy locally grown produce and artisan foods for 10 months out of the year. We are looking forward to being there for you every week.

Oregon’s wet, green forests produce an abundance of wild mushrooms. Some are edible, some are not. At the BFM we are pleased to have the experts at The Mushroomery provide us with a delicious assortment of safe, edible wild mushrooms each and every week. Owner Dustin Olsen’s business sprang from an earnest passion and love for mushrooms. In addition to searching the forests for edible wilds, he also grows culinary and medicinal mushrooms offering them in both fresh and dried forms. If you are intimidated by the idea of cooking unusual fungi, don’t worry! The knowledgeable people at the Mushroomery are happy to share preparation methods and recipes with their customers. Here is a recipe for a soul satisfying soup that is perfect on a dreary Spring day.
Shiitake Mushroom and Leek Soup Ingredients • 4 ozs. shiitake mushrooms (sliced and halved, stems removed) • 1 cup finely chopped leeks
(white part only) • 2 T. butter • 1/4 cup dry sherry • 3 cans (13 3/4 oz) beef, chicken, or vegetable broth • 1/2 t. pepper • 1/2 cup orzo
Directions 1. Cook and stir mushrooms and leeks in butter, until tender. 2. Add sherry and cook until liquid is reduced by half. 3. Add broth and pepper and bring to a boil. 4. Stir in pasta and cook about 10 minutes until tender.
Makes 8 cups.

Self-Defense for Kids 6-11 Years Old No! Go! Yell! Tell! CLASSES
Saturday, April 22nd from 12:00-1:30PM. As a parent, one of your primary jobs is to keep your child safe. But our children grow up! As they spend more time out in the world away from your protective nest, the challenge becomes ensuring that they have the tools they need to stay safe even when you are not with them.
Your child will learn: • Age appropriate information presented calmly and clearly • How to use their voice, trust their gut and get out of situations that are uncomfortable or frightening • Effective striking – and when it’s OK and not OK to hit! As a result of this workshop, your child will feel empowered and strong, and they will know some beginning skills and techniques to stay safe. They will know that communication with YOU, their biggest champion, is important now and for the rest of their life.
Beaverton Civic Theatre AUDITIONS As a parent, you will leave with important information and tools to continue your ongoing discussions at home. One of the reasons we feel this workshop is so important is because you won’t always be with your child, and you want to know they can trust themselves and speak up whenever the situation demands it.

Grit. The Ducks Proved They Have it, Do you? COMMUNITY
As a University of Oregon Alumnus and avid sports fan, I have had serious heart palpitations during this season’s basketball season. While there have been many games where the Duck’s men’s basketball team easily had games in hand, I simply cannot remember a season with so many close call victories. Many of them, coming from behind and winning via last second shots! While exciting and satisfying, they are hard on my blood pressure! It is these types of games that show us what our teams have. It is these games that show us if our team has GRIT! The Ducks have grit! A super talented team, they lost one of their key players for the rest of the season in the Pac 12 tournament. They faced a tough 1st round opponent in the NCAA Tournament, and in the 2nd round were down much of the game to an equally tough, but lower ranked opponent. Was this it? The opponent, Rhode Island (the 11 seed) had the 3-seed Ducks on the ropes. It appeared they could do no wrong. For the most talented team in UO History... was the round of 32 going to be it? Time to pack their bags? NO! Why? Because this team has GRIT! They never stopped trying!! Do teams with the talent to make it deep in the tournament lose due to a lack of ability? No. It is attitude, and a dogged determi-
nation that keeps them from giving up.
In Angela Duckworth’s book Grit, she discusses that the highly successful have ferocious determination that plays out in two ways: 1. Hard work & Resilience! 2. They know deep down, what it is they want. In other words, they have direction! 3. The title of Duckworth’s book, is: GRIT! 4. The subtitle is: The Power of Passion and Perseverance! 5. 2 key ingredients for success: Passion and Perseverance. While passion is quite key, I argue that PERSEVERANCE is more important. When things get tough, will you (or your employees) keep focus? Will you adapt? Will you keep going?
when down all game? When your shot is not falling? When your opponent appears to do no wrong? By having and employing a never give up attitude!
WITH GRIT! Some of this is inherent in people. In others, it grows and strengthens, especially when their leader has it... and illustrates it day in and day out!
Look Up…And Surprise Someone!

One day local author Sheila Deeth visited a fellow member of the Writers’ Mill and met two wonderful dogs called Zeus and Bo. This canine pair became the inspiration for Sheila’s book of children’s stories, Tails of Mystery, published by Linkville Press in Southern Oregon. Lots of Sheila’s stories began their lives as entries in monthly Writers’ Mill contests, where Big Fred
The Writers’ Mill meets at the Cedar Mill Library, from 1 till 3 on the third Sunday of every month. The group also meets virtually at portlandwritersmill.org, where members can enter monthly contests and practice their critiquing skills by leaving comments on entries.

When Sheila was asked to suggest a theme for an upcoming contest, it made sense for her to think of Fred and Joe. So this collection was born.

Meet a thoughtful, playful frog. Watch dolphins leap.And look out for crows.
