From the dark of the night the stars fade. The rising sun presents a magnificent panorama of color and promise. It pulls us from our beds to celebrate the new morning. Such a gift, such a way to start the day. ~ By Lana Nelson

S
ummer is my favorite season in Beaverton. You’ll often find me at the Beaverton Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, enjoying the fresh produce and great food at this community gathering spot—the largest all agricultural market in Oregon! As you will see throughout this issue, there are so many great things to do for all ages in Beaverton this summer, from live music to unique dance performances to outdoor movies and a community bike ride. This year’s Beaverton Celebration Parade theme is “My Kinda Town” and I look forward to seeing your creative entries! I hope you join me for the first ever Beaverton Night Market, which will be held on Sept. 12. This intercultural,
family-friendly event will be reminiscent of night markets that have an international feel, with ethnic foods and crafts from around the world. We have heard through our award winning Beaverton Community Vision program and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion plan that people in Beaverton want to celebrate our many cultures, and this event does just that. And, there’s more good news! I am pleased to report that the city has entered into a six-month, exclusive negotiation agreement with a team from Gerding Edlen Development and Rembold Properties to develop the vacant Westgate property. This site is an important location in the heart of downtown Beaverton, close to light rail and city services. We hope that a new lively, attractive, mixed-use development will result. Our economy is humming with the unemployment rate at just four percent. Developers are choosing Beaverton. Downtown redevelopment is a community vision priority, and I am excited to see how we can make downtown Beaverton even more vibrant.
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!

By Dawn Anderson
e are so excited to announce the winner of our very 1st $1000 Awesome Beaverton & Beyond Grant & also the People’s Choice Award winner: Hillsboro Tuesday Night Teen Market Students Sirena Hepburn of Hilhi and Dario Aguilar from Glencoe, and Lisa Klingsporn, Director of the School to Work @ the Hillsboro Chamber pitched an idea for loans for the teens participating in the Hillsboro Tuesday Night Teen Market. The $1000 will be used to establish a start-up fund and students can apply for loans to use for needed supplies and equipment to start their business. The teens are expected to pay back the loan if sales at the Tuesday Market allow them to do so. They will also be encouraged to ‘pay it forward’, on the items that can be re-used or repurposed, to future students. 33 people attended the 1st Awesome Beaverton & Beyond
Pitch Party held at the Java Lounge in Cedar Mill in June. The evening was filled with ideas and inspiration. Thank you to everyone involved for making our 1st Awesome Pitch Party a resounding success. Thank you, Trustees. Thank you, Finalists. Thank you, Audience. Thank you, Java Lounge. Sirena, Dario & Lisa, you are Awesome! What Is Awesome Beaverton & Beyond?

Native Plant of the Month Black Hawthorn By City Landscape Staff
Binomial Name: Crataegus douglasii Soil Type: Moist to Dry Sunlight: Full Sun to Partial Sun Spreads/Multiples: Suckers arise from the roots (should be removed)
hawthorn ideal for attracting wildlife, including birds and butterflies. The flowers are white with greenish centers growing in clusters near the ends of each thin branch. Black hawthorns provide food, nesting sites, and thorny cover, making it an excellent small tree for the wildlife garden or hedgerow. It can form thickets if not maintained, which makes the wildlife happy, but not all gardeners.
Plant Type: Tall Shrub/Small Tree Flowering: Yes he black hawthorn is native to northern and western North America, but it is unquestionably most abundant in the Pacific Northwest. The black hawthorn grows as a deciduous small tree or large shrub, reaching a maximum height between 9 and 30 ft tall and up to 15
ft wide. Living up to its name, the branches have sharp thorns about 2 cm long. The green, fan-shaped leaves turn beautiful shades of red in the fall. This native has edible, dark purple-blackish fruits called pomes up to 1 cm across, making the black
How to Fix a Doorbell The Care & Feeding of Your Home
T
By Handyman Bob Strong
roubleshooting and repairing a doorbell is one of the absolute best electrical projects you can take on, because with just a little knowledge, you can appear to be an absolute genius. The entire doorbell circuit only has three parts. Outside the door, you’ll find some sort of button. Hanging on a wall, usually in a hallway, you should find the chime or bell. Finally, there is a transformer hidden away somewhere to provide power to ring the chime, and locating it can be the most difficult part of the whole troubleshooting process. Fortunately, the transformer is the least likely component to fail and you don’t even have to know where it is to test it. So, let’s talk about each part individually, starting with the button outside the door. This is really just a type of switch – we call it a momentary contact switch, because it only closes the circuit when you hold the button down. The doorbell switch has the highest failure rate of the three components, so let’s

start our troubleshooting with that. The doorbell button Most doorbell buttons are screwed to the doorframe. Back the screws out and carefully pull the button assembly away from the house. Attached to the back of it will be two small gauge wires. One of these goes straight to the chime; the other one comes from the transformer. When you push the button, you effectively close that circuit and cause the chime to sound, if everything is working right. Before I tell you to disconnect the wires from the back of the switch, you need to know that the transformer provides a low voltage source of electricity, so you needn’t be worried about getting a shock. Go ahead and disconnect the wires from the switch, open the

door and touch the two wires together two or three times. If the doorbell chimes, you have successfully isolated the problem to the button. Simply make a trip to your neighborhood hardware store and buy a replacement. But, what if the bell didn’t chime? Well, you still can’t rule out a possible bad switch, but you know that at least one other component is also bad. Either the bell is getting power and not chiming, which means you’ll need to replace the bell or the transformer is not supplying power. The transformer Let’s test for the presence of transformer power first. If you happen to have a multi-meter, this is a great opportunity to use it. Set it to read AC voltage on a range setting that will accommodate 12 to 18 volts – usually the 0 to 50 volt range. Test for voltage and if you do, you can rule out the transformer and it’s a sure bet the bell has failed. Now, let’s assume there really is no voltage. That means you will have to replace the transformer and to do so means you will be working with high voltage that can give you a shock – in fact, it can kill you. At this point, if you are afraid to work
regon and the Portland metropolitan area are in the middle of a multi-year drought. This year especially has had a record breaking heat for spring and summer. The effects of this causes heat and drought stress to Beaverton’s plants and trees. Some of the first signs of drought stress are a premature leaf drop, browning and curling of the leaves. Heat stress can have some of the similar signs of discoloration, a
with electricity, call an electrician and let him know he needs to bring a bell transformer and install it for you. If, on the other hand, you simply respect electricity rather than fearing it, let’s go ahead with the replacement. The replacement As with all high voltage electrical circuits, the proper way to approach this is to locate the circuit breaker that controls the transformer, turn it off, and tag it out. That last step is important, so that nobody will be frustrated by the hall lights that aren’t working and turn the breaker back on while you’re working on the circuit. Don’t forget to tag it “out of service”. OK, now that the power is secured, it’s safe to remove and replace the transformer. You can buy a replacement at your local hardware store, but make sure you buy one that matches the mounting arrangement of the one you are removing. There are a couple of different styles, so you’ll want to be sure. Once the transformer is in place and the power is returned to the circuit, shorting the two wires that you removed from the button should ring the bell. If it doesn’t
chlorotic look, and wilting of the leaves are common. The best way to help plants and trees is to give them water on a weekly basis. Fertilizer is not recommended in a time of stress for trees and plants. Small trees (4-6’’ diameter trunk and under) can take 10 to 15 Gallons of water a week. A deep root watering is recommended with a probe in addition to a surface watering. Some symptoms of drought stress can look similar to that of insect damage or a fungal disease. When in doubt or if water is not helping call a local arborist to inspect your trees and plants. If your trees or shrubs look stressed the best thing you can do is add some water and bark mulch around the base of the tree or plant to retain moisture. During the summer heat keep the water flowing to ensure happy and healthy trees and plants.
chime and you are sure you have transformer power – remember, look for the spark or test with the voltmeter – the chime is probably bad, as well. A common scenario Here’s a common failure scenario. The doorbell button sticks, causing power to continuously flow through the chime, causing the chime to fail, too. I very seldom find a bad transformer, but I frequently find both the button and the chime need to be replaced. Go ahead and tackle this one but keep in mind that even if you can’t fix it, you can always buy a really fancy brass door knocker!

(Dis)abilities + Work + Beaverton = No Problem! Meet Carl Jones, employed
C
By the Dirkse Team
arl Jones is a 21-year-old with an intellectual disability who recently graduated from the Lake Oswego School District Transition Program. Everyday Carl is scheduled to work he rides his bike from his home in Lake Oswego to the bus stop, takes the bus to Beaverton and starts his job. He is motivated and happy to work, despite the hour long commute. Like many other young men, he enjoys the outdoors and hunting,
is an Eagle Scout through the Boy Scouts of America, and has longed dreamed about his first job. Because finding employment can be challenging for people with disabilities, Carl was referred by the State of Oregon, Department of Vocational
Rehabilitation to Dirkse Counseling and Consulting, Inc. for job placement services. Glenn Bishop, Senior Employment Specialist, took his interests, skills and abilities into consideration as part of the job search process. Mr. Bishop contacted Leupold and Stevens, a fifth generation family-owned company that designs, machines, and assembles binoculars, rangefinders, spotting scopes, riflescopes and mounting systems at their facility located at 14400 NW Greenbrier Parkway in Beaverton. Mr. Bishop was given a tour of their facility and worked closely with Human
Resources and Management to make suggestions about incorporating Carl’s skills into their workforce. Leupold and Stevens is a local company with a diversity and inclusion initiative that includes hiring individuals with disabilities to contribute to their team. Because of the attention to detail that Carl displayed in his working interview, he was hired to do a job requiring that skill - scanning micro fiche into the computer - and was later given further responsibilities of carefully folding and storing important blueprint documents. Carl recently shared
with Mr. Bishop “I like this job and I am looking forward to working here a long time.” The team at Leupold and Stevens sees the potential for fulfilling a business need that also fits in with their diversity plan creating a “win-win” for everyone.
For more information about creating a diverse and inclusive workforce, please contact Cindy Bahl, Business Development Representative at Dirkse Counseling and Consulting, Inc. 503-258-7715 or cindy@dirksecc.com
Save over 80% with Solar Incentives Sustainable Beaverton
H
By City Staff
ave you considered solar for your Beaverton-area home or business? The City of Beaverton has learned that there are many incentives available at the local, state and federal level that can help you install solar for a fraction of the cost. Solar Oregon, a local solar advocacy organization, estimates that with all of the incentives, homeowners can get roughly 80-90 percent of the costs covered! If you’re a Portland General
Electric customer, the following incentives apply to you: • Energy Trust Incentives: $.80/ watt (up to $8,000) • State Tax Credit: $1.90/watt (up to $6,000) • Federal Tax Credit: 30% of amount owed to contractor (only available until December of 2016!) There are two options for solar installation—leasing or buying. Leasing is a great option if you don’t want to pay any upfront costs. In order to pay off the lease, the property owner of the solar electric array sells the electricity back to the solar energy provider
Restoring Family Heirlooms Bringing grandma’s ring back to life randma loved her ring- she wore it every day for years and now it’s in you care. You are thrilled with the gift. But- it’s worn out and you are worried that it won’t last another generation if you wear it. What to do? You can put it in the vault and keep it as a memento or you can see about having it restored. You may have more options than you imagine. In the hands of skilled craftsmen repair is elevated to restoration. The goal of restoration is to preserve the elements that are still in good condition
while restoring or repairing what is missing or broken so it blends seamlessly with the original. Often times removing old repair is necessary as technology has advanced allowing the restoration of pieces that previously would not be able to be preserved.
Locally Owned and Operated
Basics of Going Solar Workshop • Date: Tuesday, August 18 • Time: 7 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. • Where: Garden Home Community Library (7475 SW Oleson Rd. #6, Portland, OR 97223)
Skilled jewelers can build up metal, re-engrave missing detail and even return chipped diamonds to their original beauty. While not all pieces are eligible for restoration and some times the cost of restoring will be greater than the intrinsic value of the piece. But as with all jewelry, in the end it is the sentimental value that is the greatest value of all.
The City of Beaverton installed solar panels at its Beaverton City Library in 2012. By doing so, the city is saving $7,000 per year on its power purchases. Beaverton is committed to being a sustainable community and has won national awards for reducing greenhouse gases, while finding ways to make city buildings more energy efficient.

Business Spotlight Make your own wine and have fun! By Sharon Sands
I
f you love wine and have ever dreamed of crafting your very own, then this is where we come in. Welcome to Tigard Wine Crafters!
Here’s how it works: 1. On your first visit, you will get to “taste and make”. This means that you start off with a wine tasting from our vast selection. Once you decide on which one you’d like to make, we will walk you through the wine making process which will provide you with a finished batch of 27-30 bottles of wine (half batches also available). 2. Next, while your wine sits for 8 weeks, you get to create your very own wine label. 3. Then, on your second visit, you will bottle, cork, apply your personalized label and then box up your dream wine. 4. Once home, you can’t drink it yet. We suggest waiting at least 12 more months while the wine ages to perfection.
All this for the price that beats retail! Our selection of wine ranges from dry whites to the sweet and fruit wines, to the aromatic bold reds. Our juices come from all parts of the world which allows you to make wine all year! Personalized wine make great gifts and popular for weddings and other special events.

Beaverton Farmers Market Recipe of the Month 24 Hour Dill Pickles
T
By Lindsay Strannigan
his time of year, it seems I can hardly keep up with all the summer produce. I've got zucchini, cucumbers, and tomatoes coming out of my ears! This is exactly why I like to have a few quick pickle recipes on hand, to use up some of my garden and market bounty. This dill pickle recipe is an old favorite, and my favorite way to preserve a few cucumbers. The pickles are ready to eat in 24 hours (but I think they are best after they sit for a few days). These crunchy dills are delicious and addicting. I
usually make a few jars at a time, because they go fast!
Ingredients • 24 Hour Dill Pickles (aka refrigerator pickles). • by Lindsay Strannigan, Beaverton Farmers Market • Makes 1 quart jar. • 4 cups water • 1/2 cup white vinegar • 2 tbl kosher salt • 1 tsp white sugar • 4-6 cloves of garlic, sliced thin • 5 or 6 pickling cucumbers, cut into quarters • 1/2 tsp allspices seeds • 1/2 tsp black peppercorns • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds • 6 sprigs fresh dill
Directions 1. Combine water, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then set aside and let cool. 2. Add the mustard seeds, peppercorns and whole allspice to a large mason jar. Pack in as many cucumber spears as will comfortably fit in the jar, and then pack in the dill sprigs and pieces of garlic. 3.

Busy Beavers at Beaverton High Introducing senior Anisha Malynur and her trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro
M
By Demi Noriega
t Kilimanjaro, standing at the monstrous height of 19,340 feet, is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Instead of drifting off into a relaxing summer, Senior Anisha Malynur will be making a rigorous 6-day climb up to the summit of Kilimanjaro along with her older brother and cousin. Located in the country of Tanzania in East Africa near the
city of Moshi, of the annual 25,000 hopefuls who attempt to make their way to the top, only two-thirds of those people actually make it. With altitude sickness being the main reason for turning back, Malynur has taken the challenge upon herself. The idea to climb the tallest
free-standing mountain originated from Malynur’s older brother and cousins original plans to climb Kilimanjaro together. Malynur heard of their plans and decided to tag-along, seeing as she has always wanted to climb a mountain being an avid outdoors person. Reaching the summit is all any mountain climber could dream of. Seeing so, that is Malynur’s main goal, “I’ve always kind of been a kind of outdoorsy person and climbing a mountain has been something I’ve always wanted to do.” Malynur shared. “ I guess another good goal would be to not get sick.” she joked. Hoping for a successful climb, Malynur has been keeping in shape, by running avidly. “I’ve actually never climbed a full mountain
before. But I’ve gone on a bunch of hikes. I’ve been camping before, and I like being outdoors.” Aside from her love for being outdoors, Malynur also hopes that her experience in Long Distance track will play in her favor as she makes the climb. Although her parents aren’t 100% content with the idea of their children climbing a mountain, Malynur has expressed how her parents are more than supportive. With the expected cost of their trip to be around $2,000 per person, she stated “My parents made a deal with me, that I would have to pay for half of it, and they would pay the other half.” Malynur has already begun to start gathering supplies for the climb, such as thermals, a parka,

water purification tablets and her backpack as she plans to rent other material at the mountain. Fearing only altitude and spiders, Malynur feels more than confident about making the climb. “I’m a 10 (out of 10), I’m super pumped. I wouldn’t say I’m nervous, I’m more excited.” She shared. After the climb Malynur plans to visit relatives in India and then return to Oregon to begin college. In the future, she hopes to make a relaxing trip to Bora Bora and if possible, climb other mountains.

The Sound of Murder: A Madcap Mystery Set Off, Off, OFF Broadway ll Ivy Meadows wants is to be is an actor. And a private investigator. Plus she’d really like a pair of clean underwear, a place to stay since her apartment burned up, and to overcome her fear of singing in public. Also, she’d really like to knock the socks off the big New York producer who’s coming to see her in the world premiere of The Sound of Cabaret—featuring singing nuns and Berlin burlesque—at Desert Magic Dinner Theater. Ivy’s cast mates come through with singing lessons, a pair of granny pants, and a housesitting gig in a retirement community. And her P.I. uncle even assigns her a real case. But all is not raindrops on roses. During her investigation, Ivy clashes with the local posse, stumbles upon a firebug and a snoring pug, and finds herself smack in the sights of a serial senior-killer.

t’s dangerous to leave pets in a parked car under the heat of the sun, but sometimes police don’t have a choice when it comes to their K-9 partners, based on some of the calls they go on. To protect their K-9 officers, Beaverton Police Department SUVs are now equipped with heat alarms and air conditioning units keep to keep the dogs cool during hot summer days. To show FOX 12 how the alarms work, Beaverton Officer Anthony Bastinelli turned off his SUV with his K-9 Officer Kahz still inside, and walked away. In 12 minutes, the temperature in his car rose from 72 degrees to 87 degrees. That drastic change in temperature was enough to trigger a heat sensor in the officer’s patrol vehicle to push out an alert to a pager that he wears at all times, warning him that it is too hot in the car for Kahz. That sensor also sets off a
loud alarm and automatically rolls down the windows in Bastinelli’s car to allow fresh air inside. “It’s part of the package they do for us when we get a K-9 vehicle. There’s a lot involved in setting all of it up, but it’s all to protect the dogs,” Bastinelli said, adding that having a system like this is critical in high heat. “It gets too hot for me, so I can imagine it does for him,” he continued. “If he gets too hot, like any other animal, he’ll start panting and become disoriented. Hopefully systems like this will prevent that.” Bastinelli said the department selects specific SUVs for their K-9 Units in part because

K-9 vehicles equipped with similar systems are used by other law enforcement agencies as well, including Hillsboro, Marion County and Clackamas County. Portland Police Bureau officials said the department does not currently have heat alarms, but will most likely get them in their replacement vehicles.

Winning the Insurance Claim Game Ask The Beaverton Car Guy
Negotiate
OK
By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson
Hello Beaverton !! would like to thank you for all your calls and emails. The amount of people contacting me with questions is wonderful and I am very happy that people find this column informative. This month I will tell you a story about how I recently dealt with an insurance claim for a client.
I
A True Story have recently been working with a nice retired widow (Millie) who was involved in an automobile accident. Her vehicle was totaled and when she contacted her insurance company, they gave her a price that seemed too low. That’s when she called me. I did some research and found that the insurance company was trying to settle the claim for about $2,000 less than what her vehicle was worth. I explained to her that the job of the Insurance Adjuster was to save the insurance company money, not to pay the client what the vehicle was worth prior to the accident. She had a difficult time understanding this because she’s been with the company since the 1960’s. Once I provided her with some “like vehicle” values that I found,
I
she asked if the amount that the insurance company offered her, was negotiable. I told her of course it was and that is the next step to winning this game that they play so well. We called the adjuster, presented our research and then promptly negotiated the amount of the total loss payment. And because we did our homework, the adjuster actually agreed to settle for $2,175, a bit more than the initial offer! But wait it gets much better. She needed a new car that would suit her current needs so I offered to pick her up and take her vehicle shopping for something smaller and with a hatchback to make it easier to load groceries. The previous day I had located some vehicles for us to go and look at. And after test driving three that she liked, she decided on a nice small hatchback. I offered to negotiate the price for her since that’s my specialty and when all was said and done, she got her new car for less money than she received from her Insurance
settlement! Needless to say, Millie was happy to not only have a new car but also some extra spending money. Two rules to help you come out a winner 1. Although most Insurance Adjusters will give fair value for your car, it will most likely be on the low end of the scale. So do some homework and find out what your car is worth (don’t forget to include all the extras on your car). 2. Then, when the adjuster gives you a price for your car, understand that this is negotiable. Show your your homework and be firm but polite. Larry’s specialty is locating cars, even hard to find cars, for everyday folk. He has been in the automotive industry for over 35 years and has several degrees in automotive technology. Larry prides himself on shooting straight with practical, unbiased information and advice. Questions? Contact the Car Guy at popslcf3@hotmail.com, 503-930-1493

Warning about iPhone GunShaped Case and Replica Guns his month, I joined several law enforcement agencies across the county in speaking up against a new iPhone case that looks very much like a real handgun. This phone case joins many other ‘replica guns’ that potentially pose a danger to our community. This dangerously realistic gun-shaped phone case is being marketed as

“cool and trendy” when, in fact, the consequences of quickly pulling it out of a pocket or bag could be catastrophic depending on the situation at hand. Like with any replica gun this phone case could also be mistaken by the public as a real gun, prompting calls to 911. It is not uncommon for deputies to respond to a “person with a gun” report, only to find out it is a replica gun. When this happens it has the potential to take deputies away from actual emergency calls. My deputies work hard every day to ensure their interactions with the public are as safe and peaceful as possible. While official statistics are hard to find, the reports of deaths, injuries and close calls involving replica guns are becoming increasingly more common across the nation. It is my hope that you will partner with us to keep our community safer by not purchasing a replica gun of any kind. Is “Lane-Splitting” Legal?

Q:
In light of recent events involving excessive use of force by police in other states (ie. Ferguson), has Chief Spalding implemented any policies to ensure the BPD keeps the trust of the public here in Beaverton? A: (by Chief Geoff Spalding) The incidents occurring in other states across the country are of great concern to me and the Beaverton Police Department. Thankfully, we already have policies in place that speak to these issues and training is provided to our officers on a regular basis. We are also working with a diverse groups of representatives from the Beaverton area to discuss these and other issues that affect our community.
Q:
I have a motorized scooter. Do I have a choice of riding this on the sidewalk, bike lane or side of the street if it’s in a residential neighborhood? A: A Motor Assisted Scooter is defined as having three wheels or less, handlebars and a seat or foot supports, being propelled by human power or a power source incapable of propelling the vehicle at a speed greater than 24 mph on level ground. • A Motor Assisted Scooter may not be operated upon a sidewalk unless crossing the sidewalk when leaving an adjacent property. When crossing a sidewalk the motorized scooter must give right of way to users of the sidewalk and not place them in a dangerous position. • A Motor Assisted Scooter may only be ridden in a travel lane if, there is no available bike lane, and only on a street with a speed limit of 25 MPH or less. A Motor Assisted Scooter operator must ride on the right side of the road and as close as possible to the right shoulder or curb.

Traffic Q&A:
• Additionally a Motor Assisted Scooter must not be ridden faster than 15 MPH. The scooter must be equipped with the same lights as required by bicycles under limited visibility conditions (dark, fog, smoke), red lights or reflectors to the rea, and white lights to the front.

dapting a healthy lifestyle, losing weight and adding an exercise regime all contribute to the prevention of this disease. Fresh fruit and vegetables, lean proteins, high fiber, multi grains and good clean water are usually good lifestyle choices. Most of us know this so what if there’s more? What if we looked at the emotional wound of the disease? “Emotional stress” causes high levels of cortisol and adrenaline to be produced, which causes wear and tear in the body, which causes wear and tear on the heart, the
cardiovascular system, the immune system, the nervous system etc. Unforgiveness is classified as a disease in medical books. A disease is a process that overwhelms normal function. Therefore, unforgiveness can contribute greatly to illness. Dr. Stephen Standiford from the Cancer Treatment Centers of America says “unforgiveness makes people sick and keeps them sick”. The first step in forgiveness therapy is recognizing that forgiveness is not the same as condoning what someone has done.

New Orangutan Kitra Debuts Zoo News is Good News
K
By Oregon Zoo Staff
itra, a 14-year-old female orangutan who arrived here from Cleveland Metroparks Zoo recently, made her Oregon Zoo debut this morning, joining 10-yearold Bob, another recent arrival, in the indoor portion of the zoo’s Red Ape Reserve. The two orangutans have already spent some time together behind the scenes, and are comfortable with each other, according Asaba Mukobi, the zoo’s senior primate keeper. Mukobi expects the new couple will be together most days now, and will remain separate from Red Ape’s other two orangs, the 10-year-old Kumar and Inji, who at 55 is the oldest Oregon Zoo resident and one of the oldest orangutans in the world. Bob and Kitra are Bornean orangutans, a separate species from Kumar and Inji, who are Sumatran orangs. The name “orangutan” comes from the Malay “orang,” meaning man, and “hutan,” meaning wilderness or jungle. According to Mukobi, many zoo visitors are struck by the orangutans’ close resemblance to humans. “Orangutans share nearly 98 percent of their DNA with humans,
and visitors feel a very strong connection to them,” Mukobi said. “Building on that connection, we’re trying to create awareness about what’s happening to orangutans in their native lands and let people know how they can help.” Kitra’s transfer to the Oregon Zoo was recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for orangutans. “Orangutans are at a really critical point right now in both Borneo and Sumatra,” Mukobi said. “The number one threat to their survival is the production of palm oil, which is a common ingredient in everything from candy bars to cosmetics. The good news is that people can urge companies to change the way they produce palm oil in a way that is less harmful to orangutans and other wildlife.” People interested in encouraging major companies to pursue wildlife-friendly palm oil can do so through the Oregon Zoo’s Use Your Reach project at oregonzoo. org/reach. The zoo also supports the Borneo-based Hutan-Kinabatangan Orangutan Conservation Program, which works to research, protect and reduce human-wildlife conflict for species including orangutans and elephants.

The American Thrift Movement In The 1920s Local History: Our Town - Our Story
T
By Ann Koppy, BHSoc Historian
he Roaring 20’s were good times, an era of prosperity, strong economic growth, and consumer confidence. Social and political changes were everywhere in a time of an emerging culture of the consumption of goods. Employment was high as women transitioned into full-time jobs in retail, clerical, and teaching. Although some work was seasonal for men—agriculture and fisheries among them—many toiled in factories as others found careers in middle management. Demographics had changed, as well: the populace was now divided about equally into ½ rural and ½ urban. The standard of living for most Americans was high, the exception being timber industry workers, miners, and farmers who continued to endure a downturn brought on by overproduction, heavy debt,
and falling prices. Many financial experts classify the 18-month recession and its high unemployment in 1920-21 as an anomaly and the economy quickly rebounded. The average national net income per household reported to the Internal Revenue Service in 1920 was $3,269 ($38,917 in 2015). Oregon’s amounted to $2,863
($34,083). Lower prices for nearly all goods and the birth of modern print advertising that employed movie stars and sports heroes to promote products helped advance national markets for merchandise. Uneasiness regarding overspending, waste of natural resources, and excesses in daily living had begun a few years earlier, however. National Thrift Week, started by the Y.M.C.A. in January 1917 as a movement to influence behavior in matters of personal savings, home purchases, and over-the-top materialism, continued throughout the decade. Banks offered households free diaries to track expenses and encouraged building financial reserves for college, investments, and big-ticket purchases such as pianos. A broad coalition of financiers, religious and educational leaders, commercial and fraternal organizations, and civic activists came together to share resources while urging moderation and duty to others. They encouraged Americans to make a will, buy life insurance,
have a budget, and live honorably. The Bank of Beaverton participated in “Deposit Day”, one of the eight tiers of a national Thrift System. Another was paying current debts punctually through their free checking and savings accounts (4% interest compounded semiannually) which could be opened by mail for anyone who couldn’t visit the bank in person. Children were encouraged to heed the advice, “A penny saved is a penny earned” and fill piggy banks. The National Association of Real Estate Board initiated “Buy a Home-First” campaign, supported by an assortment of business interests, ministerial groups, and community alliances. Poet-philosopher Walt Mason (1862-1939) warned “everyone is burning money just as though it grew on trees” and “things won’t boom along forever as they’re booming now.” Despite these concerns, retailing, advertising, and demand for convenience and amenities intensified. Factory efficiency
made autos more affordable while advances in technology produced hair dryers, electric shavers and toasters, frozen foods, new and inexpensive cosmetics, and radios. The movie industry came of age and with it, and depictions of lavish lifestyles. There was little indication the good life wouldn’t last. Cities throughout the country continued to observe National Thrift Week, declaring that it meant a more prosperous and happier America. And then, in October 1929, the stock market crashed, plunging the U.S. into the decade-long Great Depression.

Keep Moving through Summer with Acupuncture for Sports Injuries! Beaverton Health Matters
F
By Dawn-Starr Crowther, L.Ac.
rom moving more fluidly to recovering from an injury, acupuncture and Oriental medicine can help you to stay active, boost your fitness level, and recover more quickly. Professional sports teams and top athletes often have an acupuncturist on staff to treat injuries and keep them performing at their peak. Practitioners of Oriental medicine can help athletes—and even the amateur “weekend warrior”—in many ways. In addition to acupuncture, tight, stiff muscles may be helped by manual techniques such as cupping, a suctionbased massage, and Gua Sha, a Chinese form of friction massage. Both of these therapies increase flexibility of muscle tissue, release adhesions of injured muscle tissue, and promote tissue mobility and healing. Studies have shown that
acupuncture has measurable effects on the flow of blood to certain areas of the body, which could in turn boost athletic performance. One such study conducted at the Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine involved athletes running 5,000 meters, and afterwards sitting for acupuncture treatments before they had a chance to catch their breath. The heart rates of the athletes who received the treatments recovered more quickly than those in the control group. Acupuncture can increase
exercise capacity, according to researchers from the University of California. Study subjects biking on a test ramp were able to work harder after receiving an acupuncture treatment. Their systolic blood pressure also declined, indicating more efficient blood circulation. Are you looking for your next “runner’s high”? Scientists from the Neuroscience Research Institute in China found that acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins, which can reduce the sensation of pain. Instead of

trying to exercise and get fit with a philosophy of “no pain, no gain,” you may be able to use acupuncture to experience less pain while you pursue your fitness goals. Don’t let your summer be derailed by a sports injury. Some sports injuries commonly treated by acupuncture and Oriental medicine include pulled muscles, neck pain, shoulder impingement, tennis elbow, lower back strain, pulled groin, hamstring strain, runner’s knee, shin splints, ankle sprain, tendinitis, and foot pain. Treatment for a sports injury with acupuncture and Oriental medicine has two objectives: 1. Reduce pain and inflammation of the injured area. There is evidence that acupuncture can aid healing and resolution of injuries, including reducing pain, increasing local microcirculation and attracting white blood cells to the area (both of which speed the healing rate), and aid dispersal of swelling and bruising. 2. Prevent further injuries and
enhance athletic performance. The best way to approach a fitness program without causing injury is to avoid diving in. Instead, take it slow and get the joints and muscles you haven’t used in a while ready to be used again.
If you suffer a setback in your fitness routine or summer activities, call for more information about treatment options

Dana, 59, even sets up a “smell station” so passersby can compare whiffs of the various types of garlic from his Gales Creek farm, Three D Ranch. “The nose knows,” he said. Gordon and Candii Dana put a great deal of energy into the planting, growth, harvest and sale of their product.

All products are hand cultivated and brought to market with appreciation of the land, soil and conservation of resources which help to grow our products. The mission of Three D Ranch is to provide high quality, affordable, certified organically grown garlic and assorted produce to our community in order to enrich the lives of our customers in a healthful and sustainable manner. Dana’s booth offers nine different varieties of certified organic garlic, from the bold Leningrad to the full-bodied Music with citrus undertones to the mild, large-cloved Elephant garlic (which is really more leek than garlic). We value the opportunity to interact with customers at local farmers markets and those that contact us from other parts of the country who share our passion for garlic and organic produce cultivation.

oda’s Middle Eastern Cuisine builds on a family tradition of delicious food and warm hospitality. Owner and culinary master, Hoda, is a second-generation Portland restaurateur who grew up in Beirut where she cultivated a palate for the highest quality, authentic Lebanese cooking. After immigrating to the US in 1984 she attended Portland State while her parents opened the popular Nichola’s Restaurant. Hoda’s passion for fresh, delicious flavors led her to open Hoda’s with her husband, Hani, and their three children (including 3 month old twins). Today they carry on the tradition of Nicolas’s welcoming atmosphere with true Middle Eastern hospitality. Flavorful Freshness It’s all about the flavor. Every recipe has been developed by Hoda herself, and she still does all the cooking using only the freshest organic, locally-sourced ingredients. Hoda’s passion for flavor and freshness make her a regular at the local farmer’s market where she scouts the ingredients for today’s dishes. She also uses only olive and canola oils—never butter or shortening. Cateringhani and hoda With 15 years of catering experience, Hoda’s has provided a wide range of quality foods, including non-Middle Eastern dishes like Barbeque, Mexican, Northwest, New Orleans—whatever her customers desire. The same attention to passion goes into her catering as the meals prepared for the dining room. Nothing is prepared ahead to save time. Each step in the preparation is done at the last possible moment to ensure the freshest, most delicious food
is served.
What the Critics are Saying Hoda’s received Rising Star recognition from the Oregonian in 2000. Since then, Hoda’s Middle Eastern Cuisine has been featured in Sunset Magazine, Plate, and Willamette Week. The list is too numerous to mentions because Hoda’s is always a favorite with food critics.
Bleu Diamond Dressing Visit Booth #103
G
randma Eleanor was born in Hood River, Oregon to Abe and Leona Foley in 1907. She was an incredible person and a wonderful cook. One of her recipes was a Roquefort dressing that she would make for special occasions. The years went by and in 1989; Grandma passed away along with many of her recipes, except for one, her Roquefort dressing. It was a few years later when I asked my mom if she knew the recipe, and if she had some idea of how to make the dressing. She said, “Well ya take some of this, and ya take some of that, mix all together until it looks right, then season to taste!” Thanks Ma! A few more years went by and we lost mom as well. Feeling sentimental, I started thinking about family memories and the holidays we spent together. I decided I wanted to look for Grandma’s “recipe”, dug it out of the cupboard, and started experimenting. Since there were no exact measurements or steps, and after many hours of trial and error, I came up with what we have now, which is real close to what I remember her making. So keeping with tradition, I would make some on special
28 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 5–Issue 8 (August 2015)
occasions; Thanksgiving, Christmas, and of course my birthday. I would always have a little extra and give to friends and family. Well, when the requests started coming in, “When ya going to make more?” I soon started making it and giving it to friends. Then, more and more requests came in. Many friends suggested that I make it to sell and that’s where we are now. My wife and I have started a company called Cannon Family LLC, along with a few friends to help market the dressing. We decided t name the dressing, Bleu Diamond Dressing, due to my love for baseball and of course my Grandma’s wonderful recipe!

eople at the farmers market are all talking about the best sourdough bread in town and here is what they have to say: • I just want to tell you how much we enjoy and appreciate your bread! • Your bread is absolutely amazing! When we saw you at the Gresham Saturday Market on April 18 we bought a loaf of regular, a loaf of jalapeño and a loaf of chocolate. I just made a ham and egg sandwich with the jalapeño and it was soooo good! Fabulous! I doubt I’ll ever be happy with rye again! The jalapeño has just the right amount of flavor to make my sandwich “pop”! • I cannot eat gluten, I suffer big time if I do. This bread although low gluten and not
gluten free works for me for some reason. I think its due to the fact that the gluten isn’t GMO as well.

The Foreigner Auditon Notice First Friday Has Awesome Bands for August Sat/Sun, August 8th & 9th, 1-4pm CASTING CALL
T
his is an open call audition. NO APPOINTMENTS. All roles are open. Sides will be available at the auditions. Audition Location: HART Theatre, 185 SE Washington St. Hillsboro. Performances: October 23 – Nov. 8. About the Play: The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by “Froggy” LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. This time “Froggy” has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So “Froggy,” before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie
overhears more than he should—the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister’s pretty fiancée is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn’t understand a word being said. That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the “bad guys,” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant.
Annual meeting info: HART is holding its annual meeting on August 16, 2015 at 2:00 pm. HART theatre is located at 185 SE Washington in Hillsboro, OR. The meeting is open to all Members and the general public. Refreshments provided. For more information call 503-693-7815 or visit www.hart-theatre.org.
