“The Beaverton Resource Guide is a vibrant snapshot of the Beaverton Community.� Marie Prins, Washington County Visitors Association
G
reetings and Happy New Year! I recently presented my 2015 State of the City address to the Beaverton community, including my top three priorities for this year, which I would like to share with you: 1. Investing in Beaverton’s Open for Business reputation. Since , WRRN RI¿FH LQ , KDYH made it a cornerstone of my administration to build strong relationships with our business and development community. Our message is simple: We
are a good partner, we want to work with you, we want to help you grow and expand your opportunities in Beaverton. And this will always be at the top of my priority list as long as I’m mayor. 2. Passage of the WCCLS Library Operating Levy. This will ensure we are able to continue to provide our community the excellent services that they expect. 3. Investing in Community Partnerships. Our community is at its best when we are working toward the same goal. City Hall can’t do it alone and I will continue to ensure that Beaverton is known throughout our region as an organization that is open to partnering to serve our community. These aren’t just words to me. They are a philosophy, a way of conducting city business. We are here to help. I truly believe our future is looking brighter than ever!

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. 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.
BRG Advertising 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!

Trees BeneďŹ t Beaverton in Many Ways pollution can be taken care of with a nice row of trees to absorb and block noise out.
6 reasons to love our trees
4. Trees act as an insulator. In the winter, trees can block winds and let sun in, which can keep it a little warmer. Then when it is hot, they shade the sun causing a cooler climate under the tree.

From just the shear aesthetics of having them to look at in a landscape to the functionality of having them to screen our homes, trees do this and more. There are numerous reasons to take care of our trees and to continue to plant more. 1. Trees absorb carbon emissions. 7KH QXPEHU RQH EHQHÂżW RI WUHHV
is carbon absorption. Everything people do creates polluting carbons: exhaust from vehicles, furnaces inside your home, wood stoves and charcoal grills are just some of the many producers. Trees act in the opposite way, they absorb C02 and produce oxygen to enrich our city.

5. Trees add value. They can increase the value to your property just by being there and looking nice. It’s proven that businesses actually do better when there are trees in front.

kitty’s surgery. Melanie Blake found a little black kitten with a white nose on the side of the road in downtown Beaverton in late December. She said the cat had been hit by a car, but managed to drag itself to the side of the road. Blake took the kitten to the veterinarian to see if it could be saved. Blake named the kitten Canyon. The veterinarian said Canyon had suffered two broken femurs and would require a serious surgery. Blake said she had just lost her cat of 12 years the previous week

It didn’t take long for donations to roll in on a Gofundme. com page, with the support of Cats Cradle Rescue in Hillsboro. “I was amazed. In three days we raised $3,000 for a cat that was abandoned, he didn’t belong to anybody,â€? Blake said. “He was 10 weeks old, but he looked like he was four to six weeks.â€? The money was given to Cats Cradle Rescue to cover the cost of Canyon’s surgery and
rehabilitation, with excess donations also going toward the organization to help with other cats. The surgery was a success and Canyon is now on the road to recovery with the help of a foster mom. Once he’s healed and ready for a forever home, Blake said she will give it to him. “I have the house and heart for this kitty,� she said.

Car T C Tips from the Beaverton Car Guy Winter Vehicle Care By Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Car Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Ferfuson
H
ello Beaverton Residents & loyal readers. This monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article is regarding maintaining our vehicle properly during the winter months. It is important to do simple maintenance on our vehicles to prevent damage that would otherwise not occur. Knowing your vehicle is very important, especially during the cold and possibly snowy days ahead.
Check the weather stripping As we enter and exit our vehicle sometimes the weather stripping either on the doorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or on the body can come loose, it is usually worse when we have children or elderly folks climbing in and out of the vehicle. I have actually had the same customer come in reporting excessive road-noise and condensation in their vehicle, 3 times since October (She has 5 children). This is a simple check: look at the vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors when they are open and see that the weather-strips are secure and snug. Most of them simply slip into place. On newer vehicles there is a weather-strip in the body as well as the door. The weather-strip on the body slips into place over the body seam. In the event you hear more road-noise than normal, this is most likely the cause. Simply push the strip back down over the seam. This will also prevent rain water, melted snow, as well as debris from entering areas that are not supposed to have water or moisture. Wash your vehicle With the amount of pine-needles & leaves that fall in our area,
keeping our vehicles clean in the winter months is also very important. Debris items can get caught in all of the nooks and crannies which allows moisture to be stored under the hood, the trunk, around the fenders, etc. The debris will hold moisture in the dark areas of our vehicle and for longer periods of time and this could introduce rust. All can be avoided however by simply rinsing the exterior thoroughly- under the hood and around the trunk while the hood and trunk are open. Even newer vehicles get dirt and debris built up in these areas, and in addition to moisture, it can leave behind a residue as well. So take a few moments to keep the exterior and interior of your vehicle clean. It is better for the vehicle and for the overall ownership experience. Routine maintenance Routine maintenance as far as servicing is something most people take for granted. Regular engine oil changes are important, moreso during the colder weather. When it is colder, condensation builds up in the engine and the introduction of moisture into the crankcase is not good since this is where the engine
oil is. The same follows suit with the transmission as well as the differentials. So regular servicing of these gear boxes as well as changing the engine oil will provide longevity to your vehicle as well as prevent costly repairs. Oil and brakes And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget that when you have your engine oil changed, it is wise to have your tires rotated about every other oil change. When this is done, it gives us more even tire wear, and it will make our tires last longer. In addition, when the technician removes the tires and wheels in order to rotate them from front to back, and vice versa, the technician will also take a look at your brakes and let you know an estimate of how many more miles you can expect to get before the brakes need to be replaced. Pretty simple.

Then one day, probably in less than 20 years, deputies will be laughing at the "outdated" equipment we thought was the "bee's knees!"

Q:
I assume itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to drive on private property without a seat belt. So if a shopping center parking lot is private property, can I leave my seat belt off as long as I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on to a public street? A: There is a difference between private property and premises open to the public. Shopping centers allow the general public to operate their vehicles on their private property, so the parking lots become premises open to the public. Several trafďŹ c laws are enforceable on premises open to the public. You still need to have a license to drive there, you must have insurance, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive carelessly or intoxicated. However, the seatbelt law (ORS 811.210) is not enforceable on premises open to the public.

A: Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 815.275 Failure to mark end of load with light or ďŹ&#x201A;ag when required) states that if the load extends to the rear over 4 feet from the bed or body of the vehicle it must be marked. It must be marked with end load lights at night or during limited visibility. During the day you can use a red ďŹ&#x201A;ag that is not less than 12 inches square. If the vehicle is unsafe to operate because of the load, you could be issued a citation for Operation of Unsafe Vehicle (815.020). If the load falls off you could be cited for Operating with a Sifting or Leaking Load (ORS 818.300). So ORS doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put a limit to length, but it still has to be safe. In your example above, if the driver went over a bump and the poles scraped the ground, I could state several reasons that would be unsafe. And I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to wait for it to scrape on the ground. I just have to show it would be likely to do so.

Who knows, maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a dream about what you read that will help you remember the information on the test! I am by no means saying that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to not get good grades simply because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to try. As I said earlier, everyone deserves the chance to do their absolute best in school. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay if you slip up, if outside struggles keep you from doing as well. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no point to rubbing salt in that wound. But when bad grades occur because someone just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like reading the assigned book or would rather goof off during class? That, in my opinion, is what is not okay.
Earning a good grade is a feeling everybody deserves. For some people, a B is a very good grade considering their outside environment. Beating yourself up and thinking â&#x20AC;&#x153;why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t I memorize equations like Fred,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;why can I not read English as well as George,â&#x20AC;? isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to help at all. Comparing yourself, and all your struggles, to someone who may not be affected the same as theirs, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help at all. The best thing you can do is work your tail off and motivate yourself to do the best you possibly can. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compare yourself to anyone but yourself.

The C Th Care & Feeding of Your Home Old Man Winter Can Bring Frozen Water Pipes By Handyman Bob Strong
W
hen water freezes, it expands. That's why a can of soda explodes if it's put into a freezer to chill quickly and forgotten. When water freezes in a pipe, it expands the same way. If it expands enough, the pipe bursts, water escapes and serious damage can result. Why Pipes Burst Surprisingly, ice forming in a pipe does not typically cause a break where the ice blockage occurs. It's not the radial expansion of ice against the wall of the pipe that causes the break. Rather, following a complete ice blockage in a pipe, continued freezing and expansion inside the pipe causes water pressure to increase downstream -- between the ice blockage
and a closed faucet at the end. It's this increase in water pressure that leads to pipe failure. Usually the pipe bursts where little or no ice has formed. Pipes that are adequately protected along their entire length by placement within the building's insulation, insulation on the pipe itself, or heating, are safe. Pipes in attics, crawl spaces and outside walls are all vulnerable to freezing, especially if there are cracks or openings that allow cold, RXWVLGH DLU WR Ă&#x20AC;RZ DFURVV WKH SLSHV Mitigating the Problem Water freezes when heat in the water is transferred to subfreezing air. The best way to keep water in pipes from freezing is to slow or stop this transfer of heat. Cracks and holes in outside walls and foundations near water pipes should be sealed with caulking to keep cold wind away from the pipes. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets can keep warm inside air from reaching pipes
under sinks and in adjacent outside walls. It's a good idea to keep cabinet doors open during cold spells to let the warm air circulate around the pipes. Electric heating tapes and cables are available to run along pipes to keep the water from freezing. These must be used with extreme caution; follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to DYRLG WKH ULVN RI ÂżUH Letting the Water Run Letting a faucet drip during extreme cold weather can prevent a pipe from bursting.

provide relief from the excessive pressure that builds between the faucet and the ice blockage when freezing occurs. If there is no excessive water pressure, there is no burst pipe, even if the water inside the pipe freezes. Where both hot and cold lines serve a spigot, make sure each one contributes to the drip, since both are subjected to freezing. If the dripping stops, leave the faucet(s) open, since a pipe may have frozen and will still need pressure relief. If You Suspect a Frozen Pipe If you open a faucet and no water comes out, don't take any chances. Call a plumber. If a water pipe bursts, turn off the water at the main shutoff valve (usually at the water meter or where the main line enters the house); leave the faucet(s) open until repairs are completed. Don't try to thaw a frozen pipe with an RSHQ Ă&#x20AC;DPH DV this will damage the pipe and may even

Zoo News is Good News New form of lumber makes debut at zoo elephant habitat By Oregon Zoo Staff

The design of the Elephant Plaza building features a crosslaminated timber roof. The strength
of the material and its use in the design allowed for the elimination of 20 percent of the steel beams originally needed to support the standard wood decking plan. In addition to its strength, the materialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustainability potential has many excited about the growing industry. Cross-laminated timber can reduce carbon emissions in the construction industry in several ways, including storing carbon in the wood and offsetting emissions 26 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Issue 2 (February 2015)

Grass Roots Alternative to Assisted Living Viva Village! Moves into 2nd Year NON-PROFIT Public information session, Feb. 28, 11-1pm iva Village!, the Beaverton area, participant-driven alternative to assisted living for residents who prefer to age independently in their own homes and neighborhoods, is in its second year of development. 2014 was a year of communitybuilding, information-sharing, organizing and fund-raising. Monthly planning meetings kept the process going, while in-home and public information-sharing sessions (Village 101) widened the circle of participants. Viva Village volunteers tabled at churches, community events and farmers markets, developed a marketing plan and an informational brochure, held fund-raising dinners and solicited donations for
V
pre-launch expenses. Viva Village! also developed a website (www. vivavillage.org) and has a lively Facebook page. According to a May 2010 U S Census Bureau report, 8,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day. By the year 2050, 55 percent of Americans will be age 65 and above, and studies show that the majority of them prefer to age independently and comfortably in their own homes, rather than reside in senior communities or facilities. To do so, they will need stable, communitybased assistance, such as that being planned for by Viva Village! and other Villages in development in the Portland area and across the
U.S. 2015 is a pivotal year for Viva Village!, which plans to launch in 2016. In addition to expanding awareness of the purpose and EHQHÂżWV RI WKH 9LOODJH YROXQWHHUV will be assessing the needs of Beaverton area residents for amenities for accessible transportation, access to health care and support services, ease of participation in civic and cultural activities, and opportunities for intergenerational involvement. Persons interested in volunteering with the Village, either short-term or longer, can visit the website (www.vivavillage. org) for a list of volunteer needs.
The next public information session (Village 101) is February 28, from 11am 1pm at Christ United Methodist Church, 12755 Northwest Dogwood Street in Cedar Mill (1 block north of NW Cornell off Saltzman Road).

Synopsis: In the mythical town of Spoon River, we are introduced in a cemetery to the ghosts of those who were inhabitants of this town, and whose secrets have gone with them to the grave. There are 60 odd characterizations and vignettes in this constantly interesting entertainment offering an amazingly varied array of roles and impersonations, from young lovers and preachers and teachers to the funny chronicle of the confused Jewish man who ends up in the wrong cemetery. Both the solid and humorous sides of life are portrayed, with original music, and the free verse form of Masters.

Words...so W Word d simple... Beaverton Business: BUILD! MAINTAIN! GROW! THRIVE! By Spencer â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Catalystâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Rubin
W
ORDS...so simple...yet so powerful. They can make you feel happy...or sad. 10-feet tall...or just an inch. They can bring people and worlds together...or destroy them. Words can empower...they can drain...they can CRUSH! How are you using your words every day? Words that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come from the heart, are empty shells. How and when you use them are immensely powerful. Recent examples: (1) THE DUCKS. MY DUCKS!!
Man O Man...they ran into a big wall in January vs. Ohio State. Not a great exclamation point on otherwise an amazing season. Duck Nation was feeling rather poorly after the game. That did not stop one of my high school class mates (who attended Oregon State) from taking to social media to berate, tease, and generally get ugly. The reason? Many perhaps... but certainly not out of care, concern or friendship. Even other OSU Alumni were jumping on him a bit to stop, and drop it. He would have none of it. He kept rolling. He chose his words that night...and the tone on which they were delivered. They certainly did not empower anyone...or make anyone feel good. (2) DAVID...David is a fantastic young man who attends one of
our high schools in Beaverton. He coaches for me...with our K-5th Grade Kids Program. He was contacting me the other day to volunteer more...and after I thanked him (VIA TEXT)...the text I received was: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Pleasure To Be Able To Go Out And Possibly Make Someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day A Little Betterâ&#x20AC;? Words: They are art...tools... powerful...amazing...dangerous... constructive...destructive...a gift! How can you as a business owner...or manager...or an employee improve the day (and thus, loyalty, work/shopping/buying/eating experience) of someone important to you and your business? Most often...it is the simplest utterance. Sometimes it is just one, or a few words. Sound simple? Not any more. Not with more people looking
down at screens. Not with enormous numbers of people interacting with technology more and more every day. The result? More antisocial behavior and unwillingness to engage. This scares me. Technology is cool. It is WAY Cool! But being Human is Way More Cool!! Be Human! Train Your People To Be Human! Care! Then keep doing it again...and again...and again.
