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, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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!

he Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District has opened two new and two redeveloped parks in the Beaverton area. Each site was improved with funds from THPRDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 voter-approved bond measure. %DUVRWWL 3DUN, 16610 SW Blanton St., Aloha, is the largest of the four. This 3.75-acre park includes a THPRD Âżrst: a 60-foot youth tennis court designed speciÂżcally for players 10 years and under. It also has a multipurpose Âżeld that can accommodate baseball/softball practice as well as organized youth soccer and lacrosse activities. A hard-surface trail around the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perimeter weaves through the park to other amenities, including a picnic shelter, 20-plot community garden (with four ADA-accessible plots),

and a play area built on a resilient rubber surface that includes separate areas for younger and older children. +DQVHQ 5LGJH 3DUN, 4075 NW 147th Ave., Portland, is a new neighborhood park in Bethany amidst vast wetlands. It features a play structure, swings and picnic table. It also has meandering hard-surface pathways to make the natural area more accessible to visitors. Interpretive signage will provide visitors with a brief history of the property and its surrounding area, including the original Hansen family farmhouse located just west of the park. 5R\ ( 'DQFHU 3DUN, 5915 SW Murray Blvd., Beaverton, is a redeveloped site that provides new park amenities amidst natural surroundings. A hard-surface trail surrounds the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perimeter, providing access to picnic tables and new play equipment. A new 100-foot boardwalk and staircase were built to make the park

accessible from the west, at 150th Avenue. At redeveloped 3LRQHHU 3DUN, 14545 NW Pioneer Road, Beaverton, the play area has been relocated to an opening at the southeast corner of the site, adjacent to the central lawn.

Beaverton shopper makes surprise gold coin donation By FOX 12 Staff

generous Beaverton shopper recently donated three rare gold coins to the Salvation Army at a Beaverton Fred Meyer store. The South African coins, minted in 1982, were discovered while people were sorting through donations during the holiday season. Each of the coins, called Krugerrands, is worth around $1,500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our sorter at the time came to me and said Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen this before, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you know what this is?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Lt. Jared Arnold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said I definitely know what that is. He goes, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good, because I got another one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? A third Krugerrand turned up a few minutes later. All three were donated in the

kettle outside the Fred Meyer near Beaverton Town Square. While Krugerrands have been donated to Salvation Army kettles around the country, Lt. Arnold said they believe this is the first time someone has donated three at once. The donation came at a much needed time over the holidays because local donations were down $113,000 from the same time the previous year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The value of it comes more than just the monetary value but in the knowing that somebody would give such a precious gift to us to use for the services that we have,â&#x20AC;? said Lt. Arnold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just means a lot to us.â&#x20AC;? Each of the coins, called Krugerrands, is worth around $1,500. They were donated at Fred Meyer.

hanks to strong community support, the Aloha Community Library Association is happy to announce three big changes in the next few months. First, Terri Palmer, who has been serving as our Director of Volunteer Services since the library opened in 2012, has been hired as our new interim Library Director. In her new role, Terri will be overseeing all library operations, including coordinating the other two big changes for the year. Second, we will be moving to larger space this spring in the same Aloha Farmington Center shopping mall, moving into space that was previously occupied by WKH 1DWLRQDO *XDUG RIÂżFH 7KLV move will increase our space by 40%, giving the library more elbow room for our patrons, programs and materials. Watch for

spring. Finally, we will be applying for membership in the Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) system this spring. If the Aloha Community Library joins the WCCLS, our patrons will be able to request books, DVDs, kits and other materials from any other public library in Washington County, and have it delivered to the Aloha Community Library for check-out. Joining the WCCLS will also give us access to a wide range of resources and programs in conjunction with the other Washington County public libraries. Joining the WCCLS will take VHYHUDO \HDUV EXW RXU ÂżUVW ELJ step is to apply for admission by May 2014. There is a long list of TXDOLÂżFDWLRQV WKDW ZH PXVW PHHW including: Â&#x2021; Having a yearly circulation of at least 40,000 items (about 3,330 each month) Â&#x2021; Being open at least 40 hours each week, with a paid staff member present during all open hours, and Â&#x2021; Hiring a library director. Our application will need to be approved by the WCCLS Executive Board and the Washington County Board of Commissioners. If the DSSOLFDWLRQ LV DSSURYHG WKH ÂżQDO hurdle will be voter approval of a county-wide library levy in November 2015. This levy is needed for all of the Washington County public libraries. If the levy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass, there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough funding to share with the Aloha Community Library. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!

ow many times have you heard someone say - “I’m going to eat healthier in the New Year”? You have probably said it yourself. You may even have been pretty disciplined about it for a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, most of us struggle to stay committed to the idea for whatever reason and by Valentine’s Day, all of our determination to eat healthier foods has evaporated. Let’s face it, when you come home from a long day at work you don’t always feel like cooking. It is easier to boil some pasta than it is to prepare a lovely salad. It is even easier to run through the local drive-through on your way home. Sadly, we tend to fall back on the easy meals that rely on convenience foods and already prepared foods. Sigh… Here at the Beaverton Farmers Market we strongly believe that you are more likely to eat healthy meals if you start by buying beautiful healthy ingredients. To help keep you on track and give you the best possible chance of staying motivated, our Winter Market opens on February 1. Our farmers have worked agricultural magic in order to coax crops from the chilly winter ground. You will be able to “get your greens on” in a big way – many varieties of kale, cabbage and baby lettuces will be available. Sturdy root crops such

as potatoes, carrots, and beets will also be abundant. Don’t forget about the aromatics - onions and leeks!

Super Nachos w/Chicken (Price: $7.95) According to legend, nachos were invented by Ignacio â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nachoâ&#x20AC;? Anaya, who was pressed to serve some fare to the wives of servicemen during WWII on their trip across the Texas border in Piedras Negras, Mexico. When he could not locate the chef, he put on his thinking cap and prepared a dish of cut up tortillas, cheese and sliced jalapenos. Simple, yet effective, the meal was a hit and Mr. Anaya became immortalized.

Pollo Chipotle (Price: $11.95) Sliced pollo asado with a Chipotle sauce is the description as described in the menu. In reality, this dish is smoky, spicy, creamy and scrumptious.

Protect Your Investment Maintain your vehicle’s appearance! inpointing the one thing that people can do to maintain their car's value is simple: keep all the surfaces clean including the glass, trim, paint and wheels Your car has many enemies, some visible, some not so much. Emissions from industrial plants are released into the environment where they are transformed into nitric or sulfuric acid. When deposited onto your car, in either a wet or a dry state, these contaminants can eat paint and, in extreme cases, metal. Temperature accelerates the problem. Acid from bugs, bird droppings, tree sap and even leaves becomes more active when heated. Metal retains heat when sitting out in the sun, which in turn increases the chances that these irritants will cause permanent stains when left on your car. Even though water is the best way to remove these contaminants, it can also trap them on metal surfaces if not removed

itself, allowing oxidation to occur, which ultimately causes rust and corrosion. Sea or road salt exacerbates the problem by causing a chemical reaction that can accelerate pitting and rusting. But all of these issues pale in comparison to time. The

longer an offensive substance is left on your vehicle, the greater the probability and extent of damage. So what, you say? A few war wounds on the surface on your car are endearing, right? Wrong! What it means to potential buyers — either through the resale market or a trade in with a dealer, is that you didn't maintain the vehicle properly. This neglect can bring resale or trade-in values crashing to the ground, all because you

Try These Businesses! failed to wash your car regularly. The reality is that people often value material things based on the way the appear making aesthetics one of the top considerations when a person buys a car. And since more people are testing the preowned or used market these days, it is important to keep your car looking its best so it's worth more when you are ready to upgrade to a new car. A vehicle that has a pitted or VWDLQHG ¿QLVK RU VSORWFKHV RI UXVW is a turnoff, and thus is worth less than a car that looks pristine, regardless of how you maintained the vehicle mechanically (sad, but true). If at all possible, park your vehicle in the shade. Washing your car in the sun can cause some surfaces to dry faster than you may want them to, leaving residue and unwanted streaks. It is also a good idea to dry the vehicle so that water spots do not develop, hard water especially will cause a buildup of water spots, on the paint as well as on the glass. So come on neighbors, see you at the car wash. A few dollars there can save you hundreds more down the road.

Each movement has a set minimum and maximum green time out of the cycle time. If the signal detects a vehicle on one of the approaches, it will serve the minimum green and then it will start extending the green past the minimum time as cars start going over the detector. Each time a vehicle goes over the detector the signal will increase the green time incrementally until it reaches the maximum green for that movement. The detector also has a timer that if it does not detect any vehicle within this time (gap time) the signal indication will change to serve the next movement in the cycle. The signal turned yellow for this person could have been due to starting late and reaching the detector past the gap time or a malfunctioning detector.

#FBWFSUPO 1PMJDF %FQBSUNFOU Successful programs from last year

ooking forward to what the future holds in law enforcement is always interesting but looking back on the previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments can also provide a certain amount of satisfaction. Many of our programs were not new in 2012 but ended up very successful because they combined a police mission with an attempt to minimize any negative impact on the public while increasing issues of livability and safety. 7KH 7UDIÂżF 8QLW PDQDJHG or had input on three programs in particular that were not only popular with the motoring public but also provided an opportunity to educate motorists. The Vehicle Compliance Program allows people who receive citations for certain equipment and licensing violations to have the problem corrected before the scheduled court appearance and have the original citation dismissed. Upon receiving a citation the citizen will correct whatever the issue was. The car, citation and a compliance brochure will then be taken to the police department and DQ RIÂżFHU ZLOO YHULI\ WKH FRUUHFWLRQ The documentation will then be delivered to court where a minor administrative fee will be paid and the citation summarily dismissed. 6SHFLÂżFV RQ ZKDW FLWDWLRQV DUH applicable can be found under the police website under Vehicle Compliance Program. The Distracted Driving Program is designed to identify those persons who are illegally using a cell phone while driving and are therefore, â&#x20AC;&#x153;distractedâ&#x20AC;?. The Crosswalk Violation Detail uses a decoy to identify people who fail to yield the right of way to pedestrians

who have stepped into a crosswalk. If people receive citations for either violation they have an option to attend an educational course taught by police that covers the topic of their particular citation. Upon successful completion of the course, and after paying an administrative fee, the court will dismiss the citation. During 2012 over 2400 tickets were issued for these two violations. More than half of those ticketed took the class option. Seventeen Car Seat Clinics were held in 2012 that 530 adults took advantage of. Police technicians spent over 1300 hours installing car safety seats for an HVWLPDWHG FKLOGUHQ 7KH OLYHV saved, even if one, and the injuries prevented make this a worthwhile option for the motoring public.

ince February is National Responsible Pet Owner Month, I thought I would continue to share my experience with raising a puppy. Last time I wrote about my new dog, Gracie, we had just gotten her and I was learning all about taking care of a dog. Since then, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had ups and downs in Gracieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, including a scare with toxic foods! Gracie is now eight months old, and quite the ball of energy. She loves squeaking toys, my cat, playing fetch, and lots of petting. Since she is a German-shepherd, some people are afraid of her. However, she is a very gentle and friendly dog, who loves to play and meet new people. Last week, however, Gracie got pretty sick all of a sudden! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure you dog-owners know how worrisome it is when our little buddies get ill, and Gracie was pretty sick. After we took her to the vet, we found out that some ham we fed her as a treat was super toxic for her! Every year, hundreds of dogs and cats die from accidental poisoning, so it is a very serious issue. My family had no idea that ham was even a little bit bad for dogs. Luckily, Gracie is all better now, but I decided to do some research about common foods that are poisonous to dogs. Top Poisonous Foods for Dogs Â&#x2021; Alcohol Â&#x2021; Avocado Â&#x2021; Raisins and dried fruits Â&#x2021; Cooked bones Â&#x2021; Walnuts Â&#x2021; Macadamia Nuts Â&#x2021; Onions Â&#x2021; Garlic Â&#x2021; Dairy Â&#x2021; Grapes Â&#x2021; Caffeine

Gum and Candy (Xylitol) Fatty and Fried Foods Mushrooms Chocolate Medications Ham or Ham Fats You should also look out for plants and chemicals that are around the house, because most of them are toxic as well! If poisoning occurs, I was told to contact my vet or the National Pet Poison Hotline

Beaverton students involved in a murder!

Six Pennies Worth Of Nails Please ave you ever gone to the hardware store for a pound of nails, only to be totally confused as to what you should buy? Today, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to take all the mystery out of it.

be a 2 penny nail which is 1 inch long and a 10 penny nail which is 3 inches long. See â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no rhyme nor reason. Now that you know you need a chart to convert the penny size to length, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk a bit about a few nail types and their function. Box Nails Box nails are made for use in thin dry wood. To reduce a nail's tendency to split the wood, the point is slightly blunted, so that LW FUXVKHV WKH ZRRG ÂżEHUV DQG punches its way through instead of enlarging a crack.

r...are they? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for the audience to decide, as three students from Beavertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drama department, seniors Blaine Vincent, Skye Mclaren, and Maddy Gourlay, have recently found jobs with the largest Dinner Detective show in the United States! This is how Dinner Detective works: the audience pays for a three course meal and the show, and are sitting in circular tables in the audience. There are two detectives ZKR WU\ WR ÂżJXUH RXW WKH P\VWHU\ Meanwhile, actors are all sitting in the audience at random tables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one really knows whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an actor and whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not. So, sometimes the actors have to stand up and do a scene and have an interaction with somebody and give clues for the mystery,â&#x20AC;? commented Gourlay. The audience also tries to guess ZKR WKH NLOOHU LV DQG LI WKH\ ÂżJXUH it out they get a prize! A former Beaverton student, Spencer Masson, encouraged Gourlay, Vincent and Mclaren to audition for the show. The auditions were an enjoyable process for Mclaren, "Most of the auditions were improv games and stuff like that, but very unique improv games Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never played before. It was very interesting.â&#x20AC;? All three love acting and have a common goal of pursuing acting DIWHU KLJK VFKRRO Âł, GHÂżQLWHO\ VHH myself participating in [acting in] college and maybe even minoring in or even getting a degree in it.â&#x20AC;? said Gourlay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Acting] has taught PH VHOI FRQÂżGHQFH DQG DOVR KRZ WR IDNH VHOI FRQÂżGHQFH )DNLQJ LW

when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have it is just as useful.â&#x20AC;? Similarly, Vincent has also expressed interest in continuing acting in the theater, saying, Âł, GHÂżQLWHO\ VHH LW , WKLQN LWÂśV possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like my life to eventually go.â&#x20AC;? Walton, on the other hand, is using theater as D JDWHZD\ LQWR WHOHYLVLRQ DQG ÂżOP His favorite part about acting is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the ability to capture the mind of human being, and sort of explore human nature. I especially like the emotional aspect of it. I love tapping into that inner emotion.â&#x20AC;? While the case may be a mystery, one thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for certain: these three have certainly found their passion in life, and possess the ambition and talent necessary to achieve it.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with nail size, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the least understood, but probably the most fun to talk about. If you were an English carpenter in the 1400â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, you went to the blacksmith for your nails, because hardware stores were still several hundred years in the future. For six pennies, you could get 100 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two inch nails. Of course, carpenters being pretty busy guys, shortened this by calling every two inch nail a six penny nail. Most of the carpenters of the day werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very well educated, either, so they IXUWKHU DEEUHYLDWHG LW WR G ,Q this case, the symbol â&#x20AC;&#x153;dâ&#x20AC;? is short for denarius, the name of an old Roman coin that looked nearly identical to the English penny.

That means that a 12 penny nail is 4 inches long, right? Wrong! Remember, it had to do with how much the blacksmith charged by the hundred count.
