Message from the Mayor A Year in Review By Mayor Denny Doyle
W
ith the holidays approaching and the year coming WR D FORVH , FDQœW KHOS EXW UHÀHFW on our many accomplishments in 2015. Our library had another busy year as we brought high-quality programs to residents of all ages— and expanded the Murray Scholls Branch Library. I anticipate we will have a big crowd during our annual holiday tree lighting and open house at City Park and the library on Dec. 4. The event gets better and better each year so bring your family and friends for a fun night of holiday music and hot chocolate. In Beaverton, we’re known for being a friendly, active and responsible city. This spring, I was very pleased that our cultural inclusion program was honored by the National League of Cities. Any time Beaverton competes with cities across the United States and wins a national award, then we’re doing something right. In the fall ZH KRVWHG RXU ¿UVW HYHU %HDYHUton Night Market. The event was a resounding success, attracting more than 5,000 visitors. In fact, the event was so popular that we plan to expand it next fall. This year we updated our award-winning community vision program, reaching out to you to
capture your ideas on how to make Beaverton better. You asked us to do many things from investing in infrastructure—such as road and water projects—to restoring local creeks and protecting our natural areas. We’re moving your priorities forward. We’ve restored a section of Hall Creek and improved sidewalks on Broadway. Beaverton residents have a reputation for being active. Everywhere I turn I see people power walking, running or biking yearround. We continue to expand city efforts to improve health and lifestyle for all ages. Smoke from wood burning is one of the main contributors to lessening our air quality. One way you can help is by avoiding wood burning during air advisories. Washington County is working on a coordinated effort to let the public know about “red alert daysâ€? or days when our air quality is unhealthy and wood burning should be avoided. In closing, I want to wish everyone a warm and peaceful remainder of 2015. The end of WKH \HDU LV D WLPH WR UHĂ€HFW WR celebrate, to cherish those close to you, and to remember that the things that unite us are much stronger than the things that divide us. We are so blessed to live in a community that so richly cares about each other. Thank you for all you do to make Beaverton the Best of Oregon!
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 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.
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 ďŹ rst 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 reected 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 trafďŹ c 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 ďŹ nd that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

Tips for Reducing Waste
Poison Oak
ound nearly all over North America with exception to desert climates, Alaska, and Hawaii poison oak can grow most anywhere. It is found in forest settings climbing up trees to urban like settings near roadways and in backyards and is very prevalent in Beaverton and the Portland metro area. Poison oak is a tricky plant to identify also as it changes appearance several times a year. In spring to summer the dark green, shiny leaves, in fall they turn an orange to brown color. Poison oak loses its leaves in the winter and can be hard to spot, they have smooth brown bark and grow near WKH EDVH RI 'RXJODV ¿U DQG RWKHU native trees.

very well be poison oak and can cause a lot of problems. Poison oak has an oily resin called Urushiol (you-ROO-shee-all) which causes a severe skin reaction including rashes and blisters. In some cases you could be allergic which is far more serious and will have to be treated by a professional. Go to the doctor immediately if you are having trouble breathing or swallowing. The oily resin is easily spread so it is advised to wash with soapy, luke- warm water and wash all clothing right away if you suspect you touched poison ivy.

hen it comes to hiring new employees, Portland Badge owner Michael Carlson doesn’t see disabilities, he sees opportunities. A privatelyowned company that creates name badges, business cards, signage and promotional products, Portland Badge is community focused. Finding qualified employees with an eye for detail is key to their success. Working with Cindy Bahl, Business Development Manager, and Employment Specialist Glenn Bishop from Dirkse Counseling and Consulting, Inc., Michael was offered a resource of qualified

candidates to pull from. Barrett Andersen has Autism Spectrum Disorder. In July of 2014, his employment team began working with Michael on a Community Based Assessment plan to see if his abilities would be a good match for Portland Badge. Barrett spent three weeks assessing his current skill levels and evaluating social and community elements of the job as well. The results - hired! They offered him a paid position that he holds today. In the initial stages, Dirkse CC provided job coaching during training and assessment. Today Barrett works independently, without the assistance of a job coach. Michael’s open attitude has lead him to hire two employees through Dirkse CC. In one case, there was an existing position, and LQ WKH RWKHU D MRE ZDV FDUYHG WR ¿W WKH HPSOR\HH¶V VSHFL¿F DELOLWLHV
“Barrett has a sixth sense with details,” says hiring manager Christy Turner. “He takes initiative.” It was his suggestion to play radio music to increase efficiency in the organization. Very punctual, he has the best attendance record in the company. Barrett loves working at Portland Badge. “It’s hard getting a job these days. Michael and Christy are very motivating. There is never a dull moment, and I am lucky to be working here and helping others.”

The C Th Care & Feeding of Your Home a wall. And, make sure all four feet are on a level, solid surface. If you can’t set it securely, then choose a different style of ladder.
When Hanging Holiday Decorations, Remember Ladder Safty By Handyman Bob Strong
H VHHP WR ¿QG RXUVHOYHV RQ ladders a lot during this time of year, so let’s take a look at ladder safety. They are used for everything from washing windows to trimming trees to hanging wreathes and decorative lights. A lot of home related injuries involve the improper use of ladders, and even though there are many different styles, most of the safety tips are the same for DOO RI WKHP 7KH ¿UVW WLS LV WR DOZD\V use a real ladder, never a chair or an overturned bucket. While pages could be written on this subject, I just want to share three simple rules of thumb to follow for basic ladder safety around the house: 1. An extension or straight ladder used to access an elevated surface must extend at least 3 feet above the point of support. Do not stand on the top three
W
rungs of a straight, single or extension ladder. 2. The proper angle for setting up a ladder is to place its base one quarter of the working length of the ladder from the wall or other vertical surface. For example, if the contact point of your ladder is 12’ up on the wall, then the base needs to be 3’ out from the wall – the height divided by 4. 3. A step ladder must always be opened fully, allowing the spreaders to lock into place. Never use it like a straight ladder by leaning it up against
I recently heard about a guy who put his step ladder up to clean the gutters. Unfortunately, the legs of the ladder weren’t all on solid ground and the ladder tipped over. When the climber fell, the only thing that got hurt was his pride, but it could have had a much more serious ending. The holidays are best spent with family at home, not having them visit you in the emergency room.

Grumpy Cat Visits Beaverton A huge hit at Powell’s Books By KPTV Staff
T
he internet’s favorite cat made a stop in Beaverton during a nationwide tour, and judging by the look on her face, she enjoyed it about as much as she enjoys anything else. Grumpy Cat was at Powell’s Books at Cedar Hills Crossing for a special appearance. The cat, real name Tardar Sauce, was in town promoting her new book “No-It-All.” Grumpy Cat has risen to fame because of her mean mug. It all started with a post on Reddit that went viral in 2012. Since then, Grumpy Cat has become a “spokescat” for Friskies and appeared in a number of books and calendars. Grumpy Cat’s social media following is legendary, especially considering she’s a cat. Grumpy Cat has more than 8 million followers on Facebook, 1 million followers on Instagram and more than 300,000 followers on Twitter. Her owner said the frowny feline has no problem with all the attention and usually just sleeps through the appearances. Traveling with Grumpy Cat also does certainly have its perks. “One of the best things about
it is, I get VIP access, but the eyes are on Grumpy Cat. I get to do the behind-the-scenes stuff, everyone is looking at her not at me,” said Tabatha Bundesen. In Beaverton, plenty of people packed Powell’s Books for their chance to meet, hold and pose for photos with the famous cat. Bundesen said when Grumpy Cat isn’t on tour, she is like any other playful kitty at home. For more local news stories, visit www.kptv.com

Concert Necessities C Musings of a Beaverton Teen By Emery Hanel (11th Grade)

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bring any valuables, but bring cash, as some concerts donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accept credit cards when purchasing merchandise. If you want a souvenir, buy it at the start of the show to avoid waiting in line to buy one after the FRQFHUW KDV ÂżQLVKHG
Carry your phone with you, fully charged and ready to take some photos with an empty camera roll (move your photos elsewhere). Most security frowns upon large and well equipped professional cameras (which are more likely to be stolen), so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to use your phone or a small digital camera that can be attached to your wrist or neck.

Hydration Bring and drink water. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be cheering, screaming, singing, talking, and burning a lot of calories while dancing your heart out. Stay hydrated to avoid an uncomfortably dry mouth and lightheadedness.
Parking If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a parking lot, back into a parking space to prevent waiting for what feels like an eternity when the concert is over because there are always herds of obscured cars and people behind your vehicle.
For Outdoor Concerts Bring your sunscreen, a sunhat, and sunglasses. Additionally, take hand sanitizer or wet wipes, must-haves for all you germaphobes and essential to cope with the portable bathrooms. A blanket or lawn chairs to sit on is crucial, along with appropriate attire. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be cold or rainy, wear your rain jacket, wind breaker, or poncho along with sensible shoes
Organization Have a plan and stick to it. If you came with a group and decide to split up, decide where to rendezvous when the concert is over. Even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose to split up, arrange a meeting place in case youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re accidentally separated.

Holiday Shopping Tips Beaverton Police Department By BPD Staff
W
ouldn’t it be nice if we could just sit back and enjoy the holiday season full of good will towards our fellow man (and woman) without fear of victimization? It’s a nice thought but unfortunately we’re not there yet. The “Grinch”, or in this case, the “Crook”, is bound and determined to make us work for that peace of mind. This holiday season (and actually year round) you can reduce your chances of becoming a crime victim. We offer the following. While Driving: Arrive at the store safely and take some time looking for vacated spots as close to the door as you FDQ ¿QG 5HPHPEHU WKDW LW PD\ EH dark when you come out. Don’t load yourself down with packages or make frequent trips back and forth to your car. Keep keys ready for quick access to your
car. Don’t leave valuables in site. If you see suspicious people or circumstances between the relative safety of the store and your car wait for your concerns to diminish or ask that security/salesperson walk you to your car. At an ATM: Choose one in a safe location that is well lit and potential help is nearby. Protect your PIN from RWKHUV DQG GRQ¶W ÀDVK WKH FDVK received. If the machine appears to be tampered with don’t use it and alert authorities. While Shopping: Dress casually and comfortably so you can more easily move if confronted with a dangerous situation. Shop in groups of two or more. Use credit card versus debit card as it is more easily disputed and is not immediately taken from your checking account. Computer use: Stick with online merchants you know and use secure pay sites that start with “https”. Only use secure connections you know. Be careful of public Wi-Fi sites that may not be as secure. Retain receipts and monitor bank statements immediately when you receive them in the mail or online in order to observe illegal activity. Keep your antivirus and anti-spyware software up to date. Choose complicated passwords. Shred bills containing
personal data when no longer needed. Give yourself the gift of identity monitoring. Many people are simply too lax when they shop online. A recent survey by Identity Theft 911 found that 21 percent of online shoppers would provide their mother’s maiden name in order to make a purchase; 14 percent would provide a family members birthday. And, even though the number was small, 2 percent would give out their social security number. That’s something you should never do simply to shop online. UPS/USPS: There are all kinds of ways to monitor the delivery dates and times of things you order by phone or online. Have it delivered when you know you will be home. Have it delivered to a neighbor’s house when you know they will be home. Have it delivered to your work address. Have it delivered to a mail drop where it can be signed for and secured until you pick it up.

Hello Beaverton Readers. inter weather is upon us, here are some helpful tips to aid us in safe navigation during our winter driving conditions.
W
Watch the weather. One way that drivers can limit their liability in the winter is to plan trips in relatively good weather. Be alert and stay up to date on changing weather and WUDI¿F UHSRUWV LQ RUGHU WR DQWLFLSDWH and avoid stormy roadways. New smartphones and tablets make this even easier with real-time wireless weather updates (just be sure not to check while driving).
Slow down. A little more caution makes a lot of difference when roads are slick. Slowing down by 5 mph or more, and driving on low-speed roads, will help limit you potential for damage in a collision. Keeping more car lengths between vehicles gives you more time for any sudden stop too. Know Your Extras. This is a big one for those driving newer, more tech-equipped vehicles: it’s critically important to understand how your safety features work. The biggest example? Anti-lock brakes. Where tapping brakes works for controlling skid in traditional braking, pumping ABS can be dangerous. Road safety experts and law enforcement professionals know that anti-lock brakes and other features are no substitute
With the Beaverton Police Department
Q:
I know that talking or texting ng while driving is now illegal, but what if I’m stopped at a red light. Can I make a quick call as long as I hang up before the light turns red? A: The answer is ‘no’ as long as they are on a public road it would be illegal. They would have to pull over to the shoulder.
Q:
How did/do the Beaverton Police Department choose the make and model for its patrol cars? Other cities seem to choose the same cars. Is it a nationally recommended decision or mandate? A: Ford, Chevrolet and Dodge are the only national car companies that offer a “police” package in vehicles. As a department you decide what features mean the most to your agency and then test drive the cars/SUV. The budget process dictates the rest.
Q:
How old is the youngest officer on the police force? The oldest?

How diverse is the BPD? How many women, Hispanic, Asian… etc?

for safe stopping distances and reasonable speeds - and that goes for other high-tech features like traction control as well. Even some more traditional features of a vehicle can be confusing - for example, experts warn against using cruise control on slick roads. Condition Your Vehicle For Winter. In some states that get the most winter weather, drivers are allowed to put on items like tire chains or tire studs to add traction. In other states, these additions are illegal because they can tear up roads. Check with your state DMV to see whether these winter preparations are appropriate where you live. And, no matter what state you’re in, it’s a good idea to keep tires at SURSHU LQÀDWLRQ Removing Ice Another major part of maintenance is directly related to winter: drivers should take care to remove troublesome ice from the windshield and windows, and big drifts of snow from the hood and cabin top, in order to prevent problems with visibility.

The committee was formed to provide a formal space for promoting communication with and an understanding of the needs of its aging residents to ensure that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies are sensitive to and accommodating of their needs. Responding to the changing
climate on how aging is perceived and spoken about in a more ageinclusive culture, BSCAC has become the Beaverton Council on Aging (BCOA).
With its new name, the Council will continue to examine the challenges seniors face in our community as well as new resources and programs that may arise. BCOA
is preparing recommendations to promote age friendliness in our city, as well as communication on aging, age-aware transportation and affordable housing. The initial recommendations will be presented to the City Council and Mayor Doyle early in 2016. The Council On Aging is working with Beavertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Visioning Committee with a focus on helping to create a more dynamic and vibrant Beaverton for all ages. Come join us at 2:30 PM on the second Tuesday of the month and share your views on aging in Beaverton. If you are interested in serving as a volunteer member of the Beaverton Council on Aging, please email Jim Brooks, City of Beaverton. jbrooks@beavertonoregon.gov.
Depression in Older Adults Know the signs By Regina Ford

2 Simple Steps to a Joyful Holiday Season Food for Thought By Celia Lambert, PhD
H
ow can you feel more joy and less stress this holiday season? Too much to do and not enough time to do it seems to be the general consensus. Allow me to let you in on two little concepts that make a big difference. 1. 7KH YHU\ ÂżUVW WKLQJ \RX FDQ GR is to breathe. Take a moment to focused on your breath. Feel the cool crisp air enter your body through your nose, feel it ZDUP DV LW ÂżOOV \RXU OXQJV DQG belly. When you exhale, feel your belly button move toward your spine and allow your chest to relax. Repeat several times. When you take time to breathe
and center yourself and bring you into the present moment. 2. Now, when we come back to our hectic lives, make a list of the things you have to do. Divide that list into parts. One part is to do at home, another part is to do outside the home and/or at work. Think of combining the two: Before bed, take a few moments to breathe. Make a list of all the things you would like to do tomorrow and in the coming days. When you make a list on paper your brain reorganizes it. If you are relaxed from the breathing exercise and can look at the list in a neutral way, free of worry, studies show that productivity increases by 50%. Also your brain trust that you will not forget things (since you have written
them down) and will allow you to go into a deeper state of relaxation and sleep. Try this and see if you too have a greater productivity, more joy and less stress this holiday season.

In 1915, the Beaverton Times recommended that, during hot weather, Sunday breakfasts be different than usual weekday fare. One suggested menu consisted of raspberries or blackberries, fried eggplant, toast, and coffee. Another option included fruit, cereal, small broiled lamb chops, cold asparagus, rolls, and coffee. The Beaverton Restaurant, which was located in the historic Fisher Rossi building on Broadway, began serving customers in 1919.

kinds of pies. Patrons could choose from apple, blackberry, raspberry, cherry, pumpkin, lemon, custard, coconut, and pineapple pies. The Beaverton Confectionary, also located in the Fisher Rossi building, sold candies and soft drinks. It may be of interest that there was a Beaverton Bakery, although it was not related to the present-day establishment of the same name. According to an advertisement from 1919, the bakery sold confections and cigars, and served light lunches. Commercial creameries made butter near Beaverton, but in Beaverton one could actually buy Holstein dairy cows from Chas E. Barnard and make fresh butter each day. Considering that wheat was grown in or near Beaverton, the local and homemade baked goods
must have been second to none! A household could easily use 60 pounds of sugar during canning season. Beet sugar was produced in other areas of Oregon.

Freshness and quality were undoubtedly held in high regard, and residents had the ability and resources to make the tastiest, freshest pies in the world. This includes savory horseradish and onion pies, likely made with eggs, cheese, milk, and butter! Interested in more local history?
