Message from the Mayor A time to be thankful By Mayor Denny Doyle
W
ith the holidays approaching and the leaves changing colors, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia. For me, the holidays are a time for family celebration as well as a time to be thankful. Beaverton is lucky to have residents who care so much about maintaining our quality of life. I’m truly blessed to serve as your Mayor. I appreciate that residents have an active voice in our government. Your feedback helps the city better serve our community’s needs. In a recent survey by DHM Research, three out of four residents said they believe Beaverton is heading in the right direction, and 95 percent would recommend their neighborhood to people looking to relocate. I appreciate the support we
receive from our partners. Recently, Metro authorized two grants that will help fund workforce and market rate housing projects. These two grants, totaling $650,000, will help us reach our goal of bringing more affordable housing to our downtown. I’m also proud of the ways our community takes care of its own. The 2013-14 Leadership Beaverton class built a pet sanctuary for the Domestic Violence Resource Center’s shelter, Monika’s House, which allows victims to bring their dogs and cats with them. The Virginia Garcia Center, a clinic that provides services for individuals with barriers to receiving healthcare, is opening at Beaverton High School to help students get the proper health care they need. The city also has a community giving campaign, a series of fundraising events for city employees to give back through direct giving, competitions, and fun activities. We are fortunate that these programs are in place. It takes a collective effort to keep Beaverton running smoothly, and I’m very grateful for your continued support. I wish you the happiest of holidays and look forward to another year keeping Beaverton The Best of Oregon. ego .

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 visit nearby stores and give them a chance before moving on to businesses outside our community.
#3( "EWFSUJTJOH
With our unique layout, colorful design and exclusive community content, our readers are beyond loyal. Not only do they want to know "What's Happening in Beaverton This Month" but they also agree with our philosophy of: "Shop Local - Give Local - Stay 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 trafďŹ c locations ready to be picked up by those who love Beaverton. 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 stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

KJ â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.

ocal is good. It’s an Oregon thing and here in Beaverton, we love local too. We visit local stores, listen to local music, hike and play at local parks and support the many wonderful events our city puts on to promote community pride. So recently, when family visited from out of town, you can image P\ VXUSULVH ZKHQ , FRXOGQ¶W ¿QG local souvenirs. I looked high and low from local gift shops to Target and New Seasons. Nothing. Sure there were souvenirs but they were all promoting Portland or Oregon and that’s not us. It’s not local enough for a proud Beaverton resident like myself. And that’s why I decided to do something about it! Beaverton, the Best DAM City in Oregon I thought about the rebranding our city did recently and really like it but while it’s good for the city, it’s not really something that would go on a souvenir. But it got me thinking and using the new brand for inspiration, I came up with a slogan that sums up how I and my neighbors feel about the city we call home: BEAVERTON, THE BEST DAM CITY IN OREGON! The Beavers of Beaverton This paper is fortunate to have a talented cartoonist in Ralph Scheeler. His cartoons grace the
insides of this paper and help promote the city in a fun, playful way that reaches out to both kids and adults. The Beavers of Beaverton are a family of beavers who live, play and work in the city. They have a retro 50’s look and personality to them but don’t let their appearance fool you, they are quite up to date on current city issues and will go to great lengths to promote the city. These adorable characters will appear monthly on these pages but you can take them home in the form of car stickers, coloring books, cards, bookmarks and more!

It was all part of the NBAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commitment to Service initiative, which pairs players with volunteers from the military around the country for community service events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Events like this one are always so much fun,â&#x20AC;? said Blazers center Robin Lopez. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to know someERG\ÂśV EHQHÂżWLQJ IURP LW PDNHV LW even better.â&#x20AC;? Oregon Food Bank volunteers donated 162,000 hours during the ÂżVFDO \HDU DFFRUGLQJ WR the organization, an amount that is equivalent to 85 full-time staff members.
Most of that time was spent sorting and packing food, the same activities that the Trail Blazers and military personnel did during Novemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Along with the players, Blazers general manager Neil Olshey, president and CEO Chris McGowan and head coach Terry Stotts also
pitched in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you see all these people come together and work side-byside, and in just a short time the amount of work to get food out to people, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a great experience,â&#x20AC;?

Sustainable Beaverton City of beaverton receives epa green power leadership award By City Staff
T
he City of Beaverton received a 2014 Green Power Leadership Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The annual award recognizes the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading green power purchasers for their
commitment and contribution to helping advance the development of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voluntary green
power market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an honor to receive this prestigious award,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Denny Doyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purchasing green power sends a message to others that we support clean sources of electricity and are doing our part to reduce our carbon footprint.â&#x20AC;? Beaverton was one of nine organizations nationwide to receive a Leadership Award for its green power purchases. Currently, Beaverton is purchasing more than 10 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet 100 percent of the
cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electricity use. The city is buying a utility green power product from Portland General Electric and also generating electricity from on-site solar energy systems. Green power is electricity that is generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, eligible biomass, and low-impact hydro. Using green power accelerates the development of new renewable energy capacity nationwide and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector. To learn more about purchasing green power for

Zoo News is Good News Zoo set to illuminate holidays at annual zoolights By Oregon Zoo Staff
A
holiday tradition is back. More than 1.5 million brightly colored lights illuminate the Oregon Zoo during its annual ZooLights, presented by Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon and the Oregon College Savings Plan. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display, which runs through Jan. 4, features the much-anticipated return of the zoo train on an all-new route through the zoo. The zooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trains were www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
temporarily taken out of service in 2013, as crews began laying track for a new route designed to provide unique views of animals â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and improved looks at ZooLights. To make up for the loss, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ZooLights set about creating a more immersive experience, with a continuous loop around the zoo featuring a spectacular 100-footlong, rainbow tunnel of light.
This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ZooLights aims to encompass the best of both worlds: an all-new train ride on an elevated trestle through areas that havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been lighted before, as well as an immersive stroll around the zoo similar to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Food for Thought Tips for a happy healthy holiday By Celia Lambert, PhD
T
he holidays are here and that means treats like specialty coffees appear. Family, friends and coworkers will all want to show off their culinary skills with home made sweets and seasonal cocktails! You can enjoy these tasty treats of the season and remain healthy at the same time this holiday with these few simple tips: Drink at least one 8oz. glass of water before you head out to an event and eat something light like nuts or a piece of fruit. This is enough to curb your apatite so you don’t over
indulge. When you have that specialty coffee or a cocktail, drink equal ounces of water preferably with or right after your beverage consumption. This will keep you hydrated, keep your immune system strong and may help you avoid a hangover. Think sample size. Cut everything in half or even in quarters and “taste test” the food. Decide, before you go out to a restaurant, to take home a portion of your meal so you won’t feel obligated to clean your plate. Ask the hostess for a small sampling of the sweet treats. Chances are she doesn’t want ALL that sugar in her house
anyway. Focus on your friends, not the food! Remember, “Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels” “Let food be thy medicine!” - - Hippocrates Celia Lambert has earned her PhD in Holistic Nutrition and fine-tuned it through the school of life. She is the mother of six happy, healthy children. Questions? Contact me! celia. lambert@yahoo.com

3 Dishes Neighborhood Restaurant Review Broadway Saloon Story & Photos By Greg Mattie
K
eeping the tradition alive of having an established saloon on Beavertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Broadway, the Broadway Saloon has been around since 1993; the building itself is almost 100 years old! Going back to 1900, when Gus Rossi, tired of failures in farming, opened up his 1900 Saloon, much to the delight of local patrons. The Broadway Saloon continues this tradition into the 21st century. Manager Kim Carpenter wants her customers to know that this is a place to knock back a refreshing pint, enjoy a satisfying meal, and chum it up with some great Beaverton folk. Kitchen Manager Matt Farag assured me that I would enjoy the three offerings for this month 3 Dishes Review. Was he right?

Automotive Q&A with the Beaverton Car Guy A If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an auto question, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an auto answer! By Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Car Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Ferguson
Q: When I checked my engine oil I noticed that it was 2 quarts low. I realized that I had not had my oil changed in 10,000 miles but my car is only one year old. Is this normal? A: For starters 10,000 is a lot of miles on engine oil ( unless it is full synthetic) When the viscosity of the oil begins to breakdown, somewhere around 5,000 miles it is also becoming fuel diluted as well. Once the fuel dilution process is introduced, the oil is thinned out from the introduction of fuel, this causes the oil to burn a bit with the
normal usage of the vehicle. So the more miles driven with dirty engine oil, the more engine oil is used by the engine. Q: My vehicles battery has green corrosion growing on the terminal, should I be concerned? A: This is corrosion from battery acid, it is toxic, and should be cleaned and serviced by a professional, who knows how to properly service it. The battery cable ends need to be removed and the battery posts and cable ends will need to be cleaned and stripped of corrosion. If enough corrosion builds up, it will reduce the voltage from the battery to the vehicle and will eventually reduce the voltage enough to prevent the vehicle from starting. Q: Reader emails in and states that, they have a 5 year old car with
125,000 miles on it, they commute from Beaverton to Salem for their work. Their question is why are they getting a sulfur smell while driving at slower speeds (but not noticeable at freeway speeds)? A: The sulfur smell comes from the fuel that is available here in Oregon. Oregon is a state that does not regulate the fuel quality, so we receive the poorest grade of fuel in the Nation. In my opinion it is best to burn the 89 octane or higher fuel even in the vehicles that call for 87 octane regular fuel. Q: I see these do-it-yourself scratch remover pens or kits for $10 or less sometimes. What is your opinion on these and do some work better than others? A: The best way to touch up a scratch on a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paint is to get bottle of the actual touch-up
paint form a Dealer. This paint is DQ H[DFW PDWFK WR WKH RULJLQDO ÂżQish of the exterior of the vehicle. ,W LV EHVW WR XVH D YHU\ ÂżQH SDLQW brush from an art store to apply the paint (the brush inside the bottle is often so large that is will actually apply more paint than what is necessary to hide the scratch). The HDV\ Âż[ SDLQW VFUDWFK SHQV UHDOO\ only hide the scratch temporarily, such as putting a nice coat of wax on a vehicle. Which brings another though to mind. A vehicle with a good coat of car wax on it is far less likely to scratch than a vehicle without wax. The reason for this is that wax, being so slick, actually allows the object that would otherwise scratch to glide along the exterior surface of the vehicle without touching the paint underneath.

Washington County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce News Inmate Work Crews Support Local Veteran By Washington County Shreriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OfďŹ ce
I
nmate work crews from the Washington County Jail have quite a reputation. They work hard on projects that matter to the community free of charge. The jobs vary by season and some are uncommon. Recently, several hardworking inmates joined forces with Homes for Our Troops to make life easier for a local veteran. U.S. Marine Sergeant Josh
Sweeney lost both legs in combat in Afghanistan in 2009. This month, Homes for Our Troops is building a home for his family. Many community volunteers, LQFOXGLQJ VHYHUDO 6KHULII V 2IÂżFH employees, have worked on the project. It was natural for our Inmate Work Coordinator, Deputy Jerry Shamoon, to offer inmate help. They performed site maintenance and dug ditches, impressing the project manager with their work ethic and dedication. Deputy Shamoon wanted to take the project a step further by volunteering to build a fence as well. So he went looking for donations for materials at Rick's Custom Fencing in Hillsboro. To his surprise, Rick's not only donated chain link fence materials (over $11,000), but also offered employees to install it, free of charge. Sergeant Sweeney and his wife were caught off guard by this huge donation and are truly grateful for

the community's outpouring of support. While a large expense, the fence was needed to keep their two dogs out of the nearby roadway. This is just one case where our community comes together to make big things happen. We are so proud our inmate work crews could also contribute.
A: (No) Oregon Revised Statute 811.570, 70, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A person commits the offense of improperly positioning a parallel parked vehicle if the person stops or parks a vehicle on any street where parallel parking is permitted and the vehicle is not parked in accordance with the following: Upon a two-way street, the vehicle shall be positioned so that the right-hand wheels are parallel to and within 12 inches of the right curbâ&#x20AC;?.
Q:
The place where you attach the license plate in the rear of my car is broken. Can I just tape the plate to the rear window? A: As long as the plates are in plain view so as to be read easily by the public, then the plates can be attached anywhere on the rear of the vehicle (ORS 803.540).

He threw an old match in a lighted stove which had not been used for some time and unfortunately for the boy, someone had left gunpowder therein which exploded and badly burned the little fellowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face and eyes. Dr. Robinson was called to attend his injuries and he will soon be out again. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Francis M. Robinson ZDV %HDYHUWRQÂśV ÂżUVW SK\VLFLDQ arriving in the late 1880s.

two, three week sessions improving his math and reading skills along with 276 other students from Cedar Mill, Ridgewood, Raleigh Park, and McKay Elementary Schools. Â&#x2021; In a note to BEF, Conner wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teachers at Camp Achieve helped me understand school, it was different at my old school. Now, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like I am behind all the time.â&#x20AC;? Hard work over the summer helped Conner catch up to his peers and put him back on track for success. So far, the year is off to a great start. There are thousands of other students here in Beaverton like Conner and our work in supporting them is far from complete. Each
year the Foundation funds a wide range of grants all designed to give kids the opportunity to shine and propel them to future success. Join us in being a part of this tradition of generosity and opportunity for our students.

mall Boxes Beaverton is a new event designed to welcome residents and visitors to our historic downtown to shop small, shop local, dine, explore and learn a bit more about our historic business district. It kicks off with Small Business Saturday on November 29th (an event created and sponsored by American Express in 2010) and continues through the following week, culminating with the tree lighting in City Park and the annual Holiday Downtown Open House on the evening of Friday, December 5th. Eleven Downtown Beaverton Shops have joined to offer visitors a bit of fun – and a free gift just for stopping in and becoming acquainted. Pick up a Passport at any participating shop; then visit all the others. Along the way, learn
about Beaverton’s beginnings as you search for answers to several questions listed in the Passport. It’s a perfect activity to share with a group of friends, family members, or even a day of holiday shopping all on your own. Each participating business is family owned and operated, and takes great pride in both our community and the products and services offered. “All eleven shops are within easy walking distances of one another,” says Deb Messina, event
coordinator and owner of Quilter’s Corner Store. “It’s happening here; it’s happening now” states Deb, “the Shop Small - Shop local concept is critical to the future of every downtown area – and our historic downtown is home to lots of unique, family owned ‘small boxes’ waiting to be discovered”. She continues, “We’re looking forward to showing you where we’ve been, where we are, and what we have planned for the future!” Shops will be open during regular store hours – hours may vary from shop to shop. On December 5, shops will remain open until 9pm for the Holiday Open House.
Passports are available at each Participating Shop. Small Boxes Beaverton news, updates and information about participating shops will be available on their Facebook page: BeavertonDowntownAssociation
Care and Feeding of Your Home Christmas Light Safety By Bob Strong
T
here are two major safety considerations when hanging Christmas lights: 1. Ladder Safety 2. Electrical Safety Always use a real ladder and not a chair or a stool or a pail to stand on. Thanksgiving weekend is not a great time to spend in the emergency room with a broken arm. If using a conventional stepladder, make sure it is fully open and all four feet are on solid, level ground.
Never stand on the top or the top step; it’s just too easy to fall, because there is nothing to lean against. If using an extension ladder, make sure both feet are on solid, level ground and are one foot away from the wall for every four feet up the wall the ladder is resting. If the ladder is 12 feet high on the wall, the feet should be 3 feet out from the wall. Instead of running extension cords out the window again this year, why not call an electrician and install an outdoor receptacle for your lighting? To be safe, make sure all lights and electrical decorations are plugged into Ground Fault Interrupter circuits.
Consider putting lights on timers, so they don’t burn all night when there is nobody around to appreciate them. You’ll save a few bucks on your power bill. If you’re not a DIY type person, but still want lights and decorations hung, consider calling a contractor to help. Many handyman services will do this sort of work. Some roofers, some window washers, and some pressure washing companies also hang decorations, because they have ladders long enough to get the job done. Just be sure whomever you hire is licensed. This is just like any other work you are having done on your home. Using an unlicensed contractor puts you in the position of being an employer, responsible for everything, including their medical bills should they get hurt while working on your property. Be safe and have a merry holidays! Handyman Bob improvement advice show, Around The Saturday from noon News 101 KXL.
offers home on his radio House, every to 2:00 on FM
And, during the week, he is the Development Director for Molly’s Fund Fighting Lupus. For information on this debilitating disease, visit www.mollysfund.org. ollysfund.org. y g
Now Santa, hanging up lights is not like going down a chiminy so next year, hire a professional!

INDIAN DRESS
(Context: I saw many beautiful dresses that girls wore in a wedding at India)
I went to the world dress show, And I saw dresses in a row. I liked the Indian dress... the best! With bells, and glass, and colors; With cockshell beads that stand in a row On the Indian dress. I went to India for summer break with my mom. We went north, south, west and east. I saw all the different dresses of India; Got a bundle of dresses home, and I packed them in my drawer And lived happily ever after!
