Can you believe it’s February already and it still only takes one hand to count the number of snow days we’ve had? Now, I don’t know what this means in terms of what the rest of the winter will look like and that’s why I’d rather focus on something else… like really cool art! Isn’t the cover of this issue amazing? This is the work of Laurel Barbieri, a local artist who gets inspiration from ancient cave art to create what I think are very striking images. I was so fascinated in fact by her unique style that I felt compelled to share her with you TFF DPWFS TUPSZ QBHF . Of course, I am fully aware that Laurel is not the only wonderful artist in our community so if you would like to share an artist with me - or a useful senior resource QBHF , a downtown business QBHF , a local non-profit QBHF , a performing arts event QBHF or a Beaverton hero CBDL DPWFS – please share them with me. We now have a facebook page so please do a ‘like’ on our paper and share your thoughts with me because that’s what a community paper is all about: sharing XIBU T HPPE BCPVU #FBWFSUPO.

hat’s in a name? When it comes to saline, there’s quite a lot. Saline has been used for centuries for everything from skin care to sore throats.

Its intense salinity (8.6 times saltier than the ocean), attracts visitors from around the world for its healing properties. Saline has been used to clean

wounds, enhance beauty products, and as every contact wearer can attest, is an essential part of eye care. Saline is many things to many people. Its immense popularity can be attributed to the fact that saline is “naturalâ€?. In a time when eco-friendly and green are trending buzz words used to describe any number of products lining consumer shelves, saline truly is a natural when it comes to health and beauty.

One such product that takes advantage of the wonders of saline is from local company Little Busy Bodies, Inc.

A will to live by Krystal Ten Kley for CCA

Spencer Hardy isn’t your average 15-year-old. By his sophomore year at Westview High School, Spencer had endured two extensive surgeries to remove cancerous tumors, radiation and nearly three years of chemotherapy after being given just six months to live. While many teens worry about school dances and what’s for hot lunch, Spencer focuses on the bigger picture and faces every day with optimistic determination. In February 2008, following a persistent backache, multiple X-rays and an MRI, Spencer was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma. As an aggressive treatment plan unfolded, the Hardy family focused on time together and lifting Spencer’s spirits. It was during this difficult time that Hardys discovered the healing power of the Children’s Cancer Association’s (CCA) innovative programs. For the last 16 years, the Portland-based organization has improved the lives of critically ill children, teens and family members by prescribing joy during a family’s journey through pediatric illness. The team at CCA made it their

goal to help keep Spencer’s head in the game by throwing a little friendship, music and fun into a frightening world of doctors and painful treatments. CCA matched Spencer with a Chemo Pal mentor, delivered music medicine to his hospital room through the Music Rx program and invited the family to make precious memories together at the Caring Cabin in Pacific City, Oregon.

prescribed by his physicians, and he once again received a cancer-free report.

“CCA has helped provide moments of joy and respite amid a long, challenging journey with cancer. Not only has Spencer had a blast participating in CCA’s programs, but everyone in our family has been touched in some way by this organization,” said Lynnette Hardy, Spencer’s mom.

Today, Spencer is undergoing an experimental chemotherapy regimen, and hoping for another miracle.

In May 2009, doctors discovered a golf-ball sized tumor on the base of Spencer’s skull, three along his spine and multiple tumors throughout his brain. The Hardys were advised that additional surgery would not save Spencer’s life, but would buy the family more time together.

In May 2011, after an MRI that uncovered three new tumors, CCA’s LifeSupport Family Enrichment program sent Spencer and the family to Disneyworld in Florida for an unforgettable adventure.

“Spencer has never let his diagnosis define him,” said Lynnette. “He decided he wanted to live and is a true testament to the saying that attitude is everything.” Since his grave diagnosis in February 2008, Spencer’s zest for life has been a source of inspiration for many. He takes part in school plays, sings in the men’s choir, vacationed to the Caribbean and performed on stage at The Bing Lounge with local musician David Hall through CCA’s Portland Lyric Project.

Because of his bravery and incredible attitude, Spencer Hardy was selected a Community Hero by CCA in 2010. Photo by Joni Kabana

Spencer Hardy is just one of the many kids and teens who have bravely shared their story during CCA’s largest annual community event, the Valentine’s Day for CCA. On February 13 and 14, community members are invited to tune into 105.1 The Buzz and Fox 12 to hear dozens of inspirational stories like Spencer’s, get involved, and be inspired.

Defying all odds, Spencer responded positively to the various treatments Proudly advertising local businesses. Call 503-641-3320.

T

wo local businesses in BeaYHUWRQ 7KH :HGGLQJ &RWWDJH and Emily Andrews Portrait Design located on 3rd and Watson, have switched buildings over the holidays. During a conversation between photographer/business owner Emily Andrews and PetUHO )DUNDV RZQHU RI WKH :HGGLQJ &RWWDJH LW ZDV PHQWLRQHG WKDW WKH photography businesses needed more space while the wedding boutique was ready for a change. In a world where local business is becoming less common, these two businesses that have their roots deep in Beaverton have come together to help one another achieve their goals and solidify their place in the downtown area. 7KH :HGGLQJ &RWWDJH ZDV originally started by Emily’s mother, Barbara vanDoorninck 25 years ago. Petrel bought the EXVLQHVV LQ DQG IXOĂ€OOHG KHU dream of owning a small business and is proud to own a store that has history and a positive reputation. While business is going well, “I saw the chance to have a new updated look with a fresh space.â€? 3HWUHO VDLG 7KH :HGGLQJ &RWWDJH currently sells wedding invitations and other wedding accessories, but has plans in the spring to bring in more gift items to give the cottage more variety.

The 900 square foot house FXUUHQWO\ 7KH :HGGLQJ &RWWDJH was the birth place of Emily Andrews Portrait Design. In 2002 Emily began her company by living and working in the 100 year old house. The studio was cozy and inviting but with business on the rise, she was in need of more space. Today, Emily balances

the world of business owner and mother of two small children with a handful of employees that keep her business running when she is busy with her family. “It’s been fun growing my business,� said Emily, “Even with a downturned economy my business is thriving. I am excited to see what the future holds�.

THPRD: connecting people, parks and nature Employees write many segments of new nature guide E\ %LOO (YDQV 7+35'

ext time you’re browsing at your neighborhood bookstore, you may encounter a book authored, in part, by THPRD employees. “Wild in the City: Exploring the Intertwine,� is a reference guide for anyone seeking a road map to the countless natural wonders that exist within the Portland area. Among the 100+ authors who contributed to this must-have reference guide are Bruce Barbarasch, Scott Hinderman, Sarah Skelly, Kyle Spinks, Julie Reilly, Melissa Marcum and Greg Creager, all of THPRD’s Natural Resources Department. Former employee Jo Linden also contributed to the guide.

“The book is for anyone curious about nature,� said Barbarasch, superintendent of Natural Resources and Trails Management for the Park District. He wrote essays on Jordan Park/Jackie Husen Park and the Westside Regional Trail. “You can get just about anywhere in this Proudly advertising local businesses. Call 503-641-3320.

book in a half-hour,� he said. “Wild in the City� was initially published in 2000. This second edition, from Oregon State University Press, was released last October. It updates the original with new essays, maps and information, including detail about areas – Cooper Mountain Nature Park, for example – that didn’t exist a decade ago. “It is so updated, it’s basically a new book,� said Barbarasch, estimating that 75 percent of the book’s content is new. It doesn’t read like a travel guide, he said, because it features several distinct and very different voices, including those of renowned Northwest writers Ursula Le Guin, Kim Stafford, Robert Michael Pyle and Bill Monroe. Finding his voice was the biggest challenge for Barbarasch. “It was harder than I thought,� he said. “You want to say ‘This is a verdant, beautiful place with a babbling creek in the background’, then you remember there are 100 people writing essays and they’re all going to want to say that.� For Skelly, the biggest challenge was determining how to best use the limited
