#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!

Beaverton is named one of 20 finalists, and the only Oregon city to make this year’s list. This year’s award, which will ultimately be given to 10 chosen communities, celebrates and recognizes communities that engage residents in innovative, inclusive and effective efforts to tackle critical challenges.

It’s truly a privilege to be recognized.” Other finalists range from some of America’s largest cities to small towns. The finalist communities will compete this June to be recognized as one of 10 All-America Cities for 2018. Each community may bring a team of residents, nonprofit leaders, business representatives, government officials and young people to participate in presentations and workshops for three days in Denver, Colorado. The city of Beaverton is home to more than 95,000 residents and is Oregon’s sixth largest city.

It’s a great time to clean windows, put up screens, and help your home make the switch from winter to spring. While you’re at it, why not add energy savings to your checklist? These easy actions can make you more comfortable and cut costs when the weather heats up.

Native Plant of the Month is brought to you by the City of Beaverton’s Landscape and Urban Forestry Department.

Use blinds or curtains on windows that get a lot of sun. Keep them open for morning and evening light, but close them during the hottest part of the day.

Switch to LED lightbulbs. Changing just ďŹ ve high-use lights can save $75 a year,* and because LEDs last so long, they easily pay for themselves.

Set your water heater to 120 degrees. Water heating is the second largest energy expense in most homes.* Lowering your setting from 140 to 120 can have a big impact on savings all year long.

Install a smart or Wi-Fi thermostat. They let you control your central air and heat from your phone, so you can still come home to comfort without wasting energy while you’re at work or on vacation.

Traffic Q&A:

With the Beaverton Police Department

Q:

How do those “electronic he ralaws affect my use of the dio in my car? Is it OK to change nge stations when driving?

device�

Answer: Radio, AC, heat, defrost and nd other “related� car functions and d controls are not covered by the law so yes, it is okay to change radio stations while driving.

Q:

If a person runs from the police and during the chase breaks several laws, is the driver ďŹ ned for each trafďŹ c violation or does it fall under one larger crime? Answer: “Runningâ€? from the police [Attempt to Elude] can be a Class “Aâ€? Misdemeanor or Class “Câ€? Felony depending on circumstances. Jail time and monetary ďŹ ne are probable in this scenario. Other charges could be, Reckless Driving and/or Recklessly Endangering

Q:

What is Fatigue or Drowsy Driving?

Answer: Fatigue may account for the fact that there are more crashes during evening rush hour trafďŹ c than during the comparable morning trafďŹ c rush. Drivers going home from work are tired, less alert, and slower to react than during the morning rush. Fatigue also can cause a driver to lose his or her temper or make a rash decision. Signs that you need to stop and rest include difďŹ culty focusing or keeping your head up, frequent blinking or yawning, and drifting in your lane. Any loss of sleep can contribute to drowsy driving. Make sure you get plenty of sleep before leaving on a trip. Drive only during the hours you are normally awake. Never try to push through to your destination rather than ďŹ nding a safe place to stop and rest. Talk with your passenger to stay alert. Take turns driving to allow each driver to rest. Make sure both people in the front seats are awake. A driver who needs rest should go to the back seat, buckle up, and nap. When most people think about someone being unďŹ t to drive, they usually think of someone drunk or physically unable to drive. In fact, most people are at some time unďŹ t to drive because they are too tired and not alert to changing road and trafďŹ c conditions.

Answer: When alcohol enters the stomach and intestines, it quickly gets in the bloodstream and is carried to all parts of the body. When it reaches the brain, it short-circuits the parts that control judgment, emotions, and conďŹ dence. The ďŹ rst effect of alcohol is on your ability to make judgments. This happens long before you show any outward sign of being drunk, such as staggering.

If you ever lose a pet (or ďŹ nd a pet), your ďŹ rst step should be to make a report with Washington County by calling 503-846-7041 or by coming into the shelter in person. For tips on lost and found pets, or on our other many shelter services, go to www.washingtoncountypets.com. The Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter is located at 1901 SE 24th Ave in Hillsboro.

As you drink more, your vision also is affected, particularly at night. Your reaction time—the time it takes you to decide to step on the brake, or turn, or both—is slowed. Coordination decreases, so that you may have a hard time hitting the brake solidly with your foot. In a driving emergency, this slower reaction time, loss of coordination, reduced vision, and poor judgment are critical.

Cover Story

Do you have daily silence time? Introducing the new Cedar House Media COMMUNITY

By Spencer Rubin

Let me ask you a question. Whether you are an employee...a manager...or an employer, are attention, memory and problem solving important skills for success to you? If your answer is YES, and it should be, then you might want to carve out some daily silence time. This version of the Catalyst is a follow up to January’s when we talked about the power of Day Dreaming. Herman Melville once wrote: “All profound things and emotions of things are preceded and attended by silence.” Think about it. Our world is louder than ever. More cluttered than any time in history. First of all, there are just more people. Secondly, we are surrounded by more things that make more noise. People, cars, planes, trains, social media, technology are all things that make A LOT OF NOISE! The downside of noise is it is stressful! Noisy environments have a physical effect on our brains. If you live and work in an environment that is consistently noisy, you are likely to experience chronically elevated levels of stress hormones. This is unhealthy on many levels, and as stated earlier, they negatively impact performance, attention, memory and problem solving. While tension and stress are symptoms of noise for your brain and body...silence has proven it can be a cure. A study in the journal Heart discovered that two minutes of total silence can be even more relaxing than listening to “relaxing” music. Running my own business is

Cedar House Media has been around for over 15 years providing a fantastic local and independent place for Printing & Graphic Design services in the Beaverton area.

what I do. Top shelf performance is important to me. My life is VERY noisy. I did not enter 2018 with a New Year’s Resolution, and while I am 90+ days late with one...I think I just found it. If I can relax more, let my brain and conscious rest more, and help my brain replenish my cognitive resources...I know I can continue to operate at the high speed and effectiveness I expect of myself. 2018 will be a year where I plan, and insert many moments of silence in my daily life!

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!

Recently they have been investing in new equipment and new employees and are becoming known for an even wider array of large format and graphic services. Frequent visitors might have noticed a rearranging of the office desks and work areas. Cedar House has welcomed onboard four new employees; Shannon Kirkman, Chadwick Warner, Jordan Hicks and Sheri Parrett. Combined, they have over 75 years of print and graphic experience. Their unique combination of skills have allowed Cedar House to expand its printing capability to beyond paper. “We now have the ability and equipment to print on a wide variety of materials” Says Jordan Hicks, Vice President of sales. “More than just banners and vinyl, they have expanded into Vehicle and Window graphics, Trade Show Displays, Large Wall Murals and even Fine Art Canvas Printing.” “Were trying to serve our customers’ needs more efficiently and with more product lines” Said Owner Cory Burden, “We’ve taken the necessary steps with

new equipment purchases to ensure our quality is absolutely top notch!” “On the industrial side of the market, we have been really busy with Custom Labels, Product Stickers & Packaging for the manufacturing and retail markets. We have a new digital roll to roll printer that can print short to medium custom cut labels for anything from the food and beverage industry, to cosmetics and pharmacology.”

“One Thing’s for certain”, continued Jordan “Cedar House has become THE one stop shop of all of your printing needs on the west side!” For more information, contact Cedar House Media (4655 SW Watson Av, Beaverton) at 503-641-3320. Visit us at www.cedarhousemedia.com.

This ranking will complement Beaverton’s “Best Places to Live� recognition in Money Magazine. This year marks the 10th anniversary of Bike Beaverton. The ride is a family-adapted event for all ages in September. This event thrives on volunteers and support will be needed beginning in May. Volunteer tasks include postcard distribution at the Farmers Market and around the city, assisting with rider registration, obtaining sponsorships, on-the-road support during the event, and more. We welcome your help to make the 10th anniversary of Bike

Beaverton the best event in the city. Anyone interested in helping to prepare a League of American Bicyclists application is welcome to join the effort. We need people who can research bike riding statistics, work with city staff to answer application questions, and gather information about bike routes and local ordinances. To volunteer your time, attend one of the Bicycle Advisory Committee meetings which are held at 6:30 p.m. on the second Thursdays of each month or contact Associate Transportation Planner Stacy Revay at srevay@beavertonoregon.gov. Take a ride with us, and help make Beaverton a Connected Community!

As many of you know, I have been a volunteer in Beaverton for a long time - 10 years with Beaverton School District, Cubmaster for Cub Scout Pack 673, as an Ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce, the Police Activities League and more. Now that my kids are getting a bit older (we have one each in elementary, middle and high school!), I feel the need to reach further and do more. With the protections and rights of our most vulnerable citizens under national assault, we all must do more. Beaverton is a wonderful community and we have the same potential and problems that all cities face. Amongst our homeless population, Beaverton has too many homeless and at-risk teenagers and students that are under-

We are also on the verge of having completed funding for the Beaverton Arts Center. It is my hope to help get the BAC built and assist in bringing world class entertainment, arts and education to our doorstep. These are exciting times!

Of course there is always more more to learn and more to do. If you would like to learn more about me or chat, please visit www.fb.com/KateKforCityCouncil All my best,

Kate!

Kitkat

Kit Kat is deďŹ nitely a sweetheart, she is a 1 1/2 year old female who is spayed, as well as having very pretty medium hair. Do you have room in you heart & home for her? ... plus, maybe a cat tree she can climb and nap on? She has been through a lot in her short life, so it takes her a little time to adjust to new places and people. She enjoys playing with toys, especially catnip toys, and has learned to play ball-in-the-track. She is a sucker for Temptations treats too! Other friendly cats with a gentle introduction probably would be ok. She likes to “hangout,â€? yet not be on top of you... She will come over for pats and will give gentle head butts to show you she likes you.

For more information, visit us at www.alohabusinessassociation.com

Raleigh Hills Business Association RHBA Monthly Meeting

Loverboy: A

neighbor two doors down who was elderly and had dementia would wander the neighborhood followed closely by his cat, chatting with people but not really making sense. Last year the neighbor was moved to a better living situation. However, his poor kitty was left behind because the adult care place didn’t accept pets. This gentleman had no family in town. Loverboy just kept waiting for him to come back, sitting on the front porch. My daughter began taking him food and water and we checked to make sure nobody wanted him before bringing him to my house. He is very friendly and affectionate, calm and gentle. He is submissive around other cats. He would get along ďŹ ne with older children who know how to interact with cats, but my three year old granddaughter is too rowdy for him and scares him. A Manx, he is neutered, very healthy, turned 4 in Feb. I already have several pets so can’t keep him. Please consider giving Loverboy a forever home of his own.

Out & About | W hat’s Happeni ng A round B eaverton This Month? THE STORY:

Goodbye gray skies, hello blue! Happy days are here again with Richie, Potsie, Ralph Malph and the unforgettable “king of cool” Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli. Based on the television series, Happy Days, A New Musical reintroduces one of America’s best loved families, the Cunninghams -- yes, Howard, Marion and Joanie are here too -- to a whole new generation of kids and parents. The famed drive-in malt shop and number one hangout, Arnold’s, is in danger of demolition. So the gang teams up to save it with a dance contest and a TVworthy wrestling match. Even Pinky Tuscadero, Fonzie’s childhood sweetheart, returns to help and -- lo and behold! -- they rekindle their old flame.

THE STORY: Wanda Petronski just wants to join the fun of having friends like everyone else. But in 1930’s small town America, a Polish immigrant doesn’t easily fit in. When Maddie’s best friend Peggy starts to teas Wanda, Maddie knows t isn’t right. When the teasing doesn’t stop and the Petronskis move to get away from the town’s prejudices, Maddie is wracked with guilt. She soon realizes that allowing her friend to be a bully is just as bad as acting that way herself. Determined not to let her fear get the best of her again, Maddie braves the scorn of her classmates and stands up to them, making an unlikely friend in the process.

MARCH WINNING PHOTOGRAPH

The Lighthouse

“The Stare”

FLASH FICTION

By Jayden Chon

The lighthouse stood empty on its rocky promontory, looking sightless out over the sea. It had been decades since its beacon had warned sailors of the basalt monsters that crouched beneath the waves along foggy shorelines, waiting for inattentive helmsmen to deliver their pound of flesh. Most of the coastal lighthouses no longer operated, but this lighthouse was special. This lighthouse had a ghost, a wailing woman, or at least, that was how the story went—a woman from the turn of the nineteenth whose love had been lost at sea.

On Labor Day, a small group of campers caught in a freak rainstorm took shelter in the lighthouse. They discovered a trap door. A tunnel. A room, deep in the belly of the cliff. When they walked into the room, mobile phones without signal but with surprisingly powerful flashlights illuminated the walls, the chair, the table. One camper screamed, one camper fainted, and one raced back through the tunnel just as the cast-iron trap door fell like an anchor into place.

The lighthouse stood on its hill unmolested, staunch protector of old things and home to dozens upon dozens of ghosts.
