Valentines for All By Bethany Stroup

T

he holiday of love is quickly approaching and many people in romantic relationships are searching for the perfect venue for their romantic Valentine’s date. I love Valentine’s day because the more love and kindness we celebrate, the more beauty enters the world. There are many people however without romantic partners who face the marginalizing feeling of this holiday not being “for them.� As a remedy to this, I recommend looking at a few ancient Greek forms of love to help broaden our approach to the month of February. Other types of love are: ‡ deep friendships, ‡ family love, ‡ romantic & passionate love ‡ and the love we share for all humanity.

This year, if we all take ValenWLQHœV 'D\ DV D WLPH WR DI¿UP ORYH for our neighbors, our families’, our dear friends and even the strangers on the bus, then perhaps no one will have to forgo the joys of a holiday intended for all.

Bethany Stroup is the Media & Communications Specialist for Good Samaritan Ministries, a faith-based counseling organization with headquarters here in Beaverton.

#3( )JTUPSZ 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 patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores outside our community. #3( "EWFSUJTJOH 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 early 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 large 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 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 introducing your business to the community as you are!

%JTDMBJNFS The views and opinions expressed in this publication are those of the writers and do not necessarily reect the position of Cedar House Media and/or the Beaverton Resource Guide. 2 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 8–Issue 2 (February 2018)

Shore Pines are relatively small, fastgrowing evergreens with a broadly rounded shape that varies greatly based on the landscape they’re planted in. The furrowed bark is dark brown to blackish often with large patches of pitch on the WUXQN 6OLJKWO\ Ă€DWWHQHG VPDOO needlelike, dark green leaves are arranged in 2 per fascicle.

Deputy Rescues Dove By KPTV Staff

Washington County Sheriff’s OfďŹ ce deputy rescues dove dove has been nursed back to health, thanks to a deputy with the Washington County 6KHULIIÂśV 2IÂżFH Deputy Zach Majors responded to a call from a home in the Rock Creek community after a woman called to report a bird had followed her son home. The caller said the bird was sitting on the home’s front porch and would not leave. Majors went to the residence and saw the bird was a dove that looked unkempt. In his report, Majors wrote the dove was “taken into protective custody without resistance.â€? The dove had a tag on its leg, so deputies believe it is likely an owned animal. Majors took the dove to his home and fed it birdseed. He reported that the dove “chowed it down like it hadn’t eaten in D ZKLOH ´ 7KH VKHULIIÂśV RIÂżFH did not immediately locate the owner, but deputies held out hope for a happy reunion.

very year, Beaverton couple Chad and Mickey Heidt go camping at Cape Disappointment on the southwest Washington coast. This year, their beach stroll turned into a desperate rescue mission. Chad recalls seeing something odd lying on the sand. “I saw something that just kind of looked out of the ordinary and I looked at Mickey and said, ‘Is that a turtle?’â€? he said. “I said there’s no way that’s a turtle,â€? Mickey said. “How could a turtle be on the Oregon coast? It’s freezing here!â€? It was, in fact, a turtle – an endangered, female, Olive Ridley Sea Turtle. The turtle wasn’t moving and appeared to be dead, but Chad got closer to be sure. “I just kind of rubbed it along its head and its eyes blinked and it just kind of moved its head back a little bit. And so I told Mickey, it’s alive,â€? he said. They ran back to their campground and Googled what to do. Chad called the Seaside Aquarium and experts told him to get the turtle off the beach.

“I said this is going to sound crazy, but there’s a turtle on the beach,� said Chad. “And I’m on the phone with the Seaside Aquarium and we need help getting out there to get him.� It had gotten pretty dark, but Chad, Mickey and the park ranger found the turtle and lifted her into the bed of their truck. Chad said the turtle was about 2 feet long and 1 1/2 feet wide. They brought the turtle back to camp and a team from the aquarium was just minutes away.

They said the turtle probably got hurt and stuck in a wayward current, but workers at the OreJRQ &RDVW $TXDULXP LQ 1HZSRUW would know what to do.

Summer Camping, I Suppose I Can Wait By Lani Garcia (11th Grader)

T

his month, I want to write about camping. Why now, you ask? I mean, take a look outside. It’s rainy, cold, and not exactly the best camping weather. But if you want to reserve a decent spot at your favorite campground for the summer, then you need to start planning now. That’s exactly why I found my dad on the computer at 7 A.M. sharp this morning, racing to snag our favorite camping spot at the beach. He knows most campgrounds start taking reservations six to nine months ahead of arrival. If you’ve never been camping before, some of my favorite spots are Silver Falls State Park where you can hike behind a waterfall, Lost Lake where you can

However, where you go is less important than just going itself. Getting out there. I think one of the most important things in life

is people connecting with nature. Putting down our phones, leaving behind all of our worries, and focusing on our wild roots. Camping is one of the easiest ways to do this, providing simple moments that turn into long-lasting memories. I appreciate the woodsy smell of forests and waking up to a symphony of birds chirping- although sometimes the crows can be a bit too... squawky for six in the morning, I’ll admit it. And who knew a can of chili could taste so good? What I love most though LV WKH DURPD RI D FDPS¿UH DQG late-night conversations with my family around it.

Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District: Connecting People, Parks and Nature

‘Citizen Science’ helps Natural Resources track endangered wildlife by Bill Evans

C

itizen Science – research conducted by nonprofessional scientists – is a practice that THPRD’s Natural Resources staff is successfully using to keep track of regionally important animal species and pollinators. The reason THPRD’s in-house experts are entrusting “amateurs� with this important role is pretty straightforward, says Park Ranger Kyle Spinks. “If I were to do it myself, it would take about two or three weeks,� said Spinks, who monitors about a dozen sites throughout the district to estimate populations of northern red-legged frogs. “We need to know where the frogs are, how many there are, if they are breeding. Spreading the

www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

task among the volunteers helps us get the data a lot faster.� About three years ago, THPRD implemented a program that trains volunteers to identify and monitor amphibian egg masses and provide their data to Spinks. “We can extrapolate their information to get an idea of the size of the breeding population,� he said. “Over time, we get an idea of peak egg mass laying at each site. We can now capture info in a shorter period of time, because we know when amphibians are laying eggs.� Spinks said similar wildlife survey work is done to monitor turtle populations at several THPRD sites. “We set up our volunteers with binoculars and give them training so they know what they’re looking at,� he said. “Their species counts help us make better habitat

growth, and look for injuries and illness. We’re able to monitor the heath of the native population as we take out the invasive species.� He said the volunteer program supports the regional effort by THPRD, Metro, and other agencies committed to conservation and habitat preservation programs through education. “It’s been cool to get eighth graders into the water in chest waders to look at egg masses,� he added. “It’s something most kids never get to experience.�

ave you ever considered turning part of your home into rental space to add passive income or increase your property value? Have you noticed the heavy WUDIÂżF LQ %HDYHUWRQ DQG 3RUWland the last few years?! People moving here need housing! With all-time low real estate inventory and migration into our area, home prices continue to rise. Additional rental income has now become a serious consideration for some KRPH EX\HUV SXUFKDVLQJ WKHLU ÂżUVW or even their second home. So adding an ADU to your property, might be good future investment. Depending on lot size, zoning and setbacks, the city may allow ADUs to be added to an already existing property. The property does not need to be subdivided for that. An ADU can be attached to your existing property, such

as in the basement or an attached garage, or it can be unattached. Here is what the process of adding an ADU looks like: 1. Assessing the property for the potential of building an ADU-consult with an ADU expert or someone who has experience. 2. Make drawings or plans--hire an architect. 3.

Beaverton Agency 4905 SW Griffith Dr., Suite 208, Beaverton, OR

United Homecare Services is a nonprofit public benefit agency serving Western Oregon since 2001

Some lessons learned include: People don’t age on the inside. We reject the label, “senior”. We prefer to be known for who we are, not for our age. People are unique! What works for one person won’t work for another. Take the time to get to know others. Give each person room to be himself or herself. Appreciate uniqueness, and grow rich in relationships. What we invest in others tends to come back to us. People who consider the needs of others are loved deeply. Our bodies and minds may change, but our worth never changes. A person who receives help offers a valuable lesson to their helper; the lesson of humble acceptance. Young people learn compassion largely through helping others. Life really is a “circle”. We don’t have to have all the answers to the world’s dilemmas. As we age we may need to be reminded that we are just children in the sight of our creator. We can trust in a power greater than

ourselves. Though the man knew the sting of dementia and failing health, he loved his family well to the very last. And, they loved him beyond measure. What a mark he left on this world! What a privilege it was to participate in his amazing life!

What’s that Smell Coming from the Vents? By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Beaverton Readers! Q -DQXDU\ QHDU WKH ÂżUVW RI WKH month, I received a call from Edward from Beaverton. Edward mentioned that he had noticed a musty smell in his newer GM SUV during the summer months while using his A/C and now that the weather has changed, the smell has become worse and stale. Does switching the air ventalation mode make a difference?

Prevent window fogging by using fresh air with AC All vehicles equipped with air conditioning will run the A/C when the defroster is in use. This is part of the dehumidifying aspect of the A/C which will basically aid in the de-fogging of the windows as well as drying the cabin air during colder months. One of the important things to make sure of is that the switch is set to fresh air during the winter months. If it is on recirculate, it keeps stale, wet air inside the cabin which will cause your windows to fog.

Have you ever noticed how foggy your windows get when you get into your car with wet clothes and jacket? It is very simple to reduce this fogging with a couple of simple vehicle operation settings. Step#1 is set the vehicles heater-AC control panel to the fresh air setting (it will have a picture of a straight arrow coming into the front of the vehicle from outside). Step #2 press the Air Conditioning button, with the heater temperature on hot. This will not only allow the stale wet air to escape, but will also cause the Air Conditioning to dehumidify the passenger cabin, and clear

When use the recirculation mode? The recirculate setting on the heater control is to be used during the summer months. If it is set to recirculate, it will re-cool the already cooled air without allowing the hot outside summer air into the passenger cabin.

One of the most common smells people complain about in vehicles is a musty or stale smell. The best air fresheners will not remove the smell because the source is still there.

eaverton’s public safety center, the city’s new and ¿UVW HYHU GHGLFDWHG EXLOGLQJ for our Police Department and Emergency Management Operations, is taking shape. Last year, the city partnered with Shiels Obletz Johnsen, Inc., FFA Architecture and Interiors, and Skanska USA Building, Inc. for design and construction. In addition, building planning and programming has occurred with the help of the public. This effort helped determine parking and square footage needs, and enabled the project team to create a preliminary site plan for the building. While potential minor adjustments will be needed, work is proceeding with layout and ÀRRU SODQV LQ DQWLFLSDWLRQ RI submission to the City Planning Department for approval in summer 2018. Work on the site, located near the SW corner of Allen Boulevard and Hall Boulevard, will begin this spring. This may include site preparation, removal of the existing buildings at the site, and preliminary foundation work. Once all

building plans are approved, construction is slated to begin by early 2019. It’s estimated that construction will take approximately 18 months and completion is estimated in summer 2020. As a reminder, Beaverton PAL has been relocated to Chehalem Elementary School located at 15555 SW Davis Rd, and the PAL Boxing Program has moved to the THPRD Garden Home Recreation Center located at 7475 SW Oleson Rd. For more information on PAL, visit beavertonpal.com. In 2016, Beaverton voters approved a ballot measure to construct a public safety center. The

Voters Will See TVF&R Annexation Measures Traffic Q&A:

With the Beaverton Police Department

on March Ballot

Q:

In Beaverton is it legal to drive a self-driving car in automatic mode (ie. A person is not touching da ) the steering wheel, brakes or gas pedal)?

By Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue

Measures 34-280 and 34-281 Would Allow Newberg and Rural Area to Join TVF&R

A: At this point no legislation has been passed in Oregon or Beaverton that talks alks about self-driving cars. So long as the he vehicle complies with all normal driving g laws you would be ďŹ ne. The problem or exception would come if, for example the vehicle was speeding. Who would get the ticket? At this point, who ever had the ability to control the vehicle would then be responsible for the vehicle.

B

eaverton-area voters will be asked in the March 13 election to consider whether to allow annexation of the FLW\ RI 1HZEHUJ DQG 1HZEHUJ Rural Fire Protection District territories into Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue’s service area. Approval of Measures 34-280 and 34-281 will not increase taxes paid by existing TVF&R residents. Because property owners in 1HZEHUJ DQG WKH VXUURXQGing rural area would pay the same rate upon annexation as existing TVF&R patrons, the tax rate paid on bonded debt could actually decrease across TVF&R’s entire service area. You might be wondering why you are being asked to vote on measures that affect 1HZEHUJ DQG WKH 1HZEHUJ Rural area.

Q:

What causes most trafďŹ c accidents?

A: Human error is the single most common cause of trafďŹ c crashes. The leading factors in crashes are: t

Excessive speed

t

Lack of concentration

t

Improper evasive action

Your mental and emotional state, as well as your physical condition, affects the way you drive a vehicle. Anger, worry, frustration, fatigue, and minor illnesses such as a cold are a few of the temporary conditions that can make you an unsafe driver.

Q:

How many people die in car accidents?

62.99 percent voter approval in the rural area. Despite strong approval by YRWHUV UHVLGLQJ LQ 1HZEHUJ DQG 1HZEHUJ 5XUDO WR MRLQ TVF&R permanently through annexation, Oregon law allows 100 or more existing 79) 5 YRWHUV WR ÂżOH SHWLtions with Washington County during the annexation process to request that the Board of Commissioners require an indistrict election on the proposed annexations. In DecemEHU SHWLWLRQV ZHUH ÂżOHG DQG accepted by the Washington County board. Since then, TVF&R has placed Measures 34-280 (city) and 34-281 (rural) on the March ballot. If voters pass both Measures 34-280 and 34-281, TVF&R will ÂżQDOL]H WKH DQQH[DWLRQ SURFHVV 7KH FLW\ RI 1HZEHUJ DQG 1HZEHUJ 5XUDO )LUH 3URWHFtion District will permanently join TVF&R on July 1, 2018. Property owners in the city of 1HZEHUJ DQG 1HZEHUJ 5XUDO would pay the same tax rate as existing TVF&R patrons. If either or both measures do not pass, TVF&R will ZRUN ZLWK 1HZEHUJ DQG RU the rural district to ensure an effective transition, whether TVF&R continues to provide

service through a contract H[WHQVLRQ RU 1HZEHUJ UHYHUWV to its former model. TVF&R’S history is based on similar voluntary and PXWXDOO\ EHQH¿FLDO DQQH[Dtions. TVF&R took shape as a ¿UH GLVWULFW EHWZHHQ DQG DV D QXPEHU RI FLW\ ¿UH departments, including the Beaverton Fire Department in 1996, and rural districts consolidated to share limited resources and save money. Collectively, communities can leverage their resources to have more sophisticated services at a lower cost than they could have on their own while reducing administrative overhead, buying trucks and equipment in bulk, garnering better borrowing rates, and leveraging a system of response to locate stations, resources, and personnel strategically.

A: About 49,000 people die in the U.S. each year in car crashes. That’s 130 people a day. If a plane crashed each day with 130 people aboard, how eager would you be to y?

Q:

If my car breaks down on the 217, what does the BPD recommend I do?

A: If you have vehicle trouble on a freeway, move to the right shoulder or emergency stopping area as soon as you can. Turn on your emergency ashers to warn other trafďŹ c. If possible, it is better to stay in or near your vehicle on the side away from trafďŹ c. Walking along a freeway is dangerous. If you stay with your vehicle, a police patrol will stop to help you when they come by if they are not on another call.

Q:

What are the top driving distractions that cause crashes?

A: Here are the types of distraction along with the percentage of crashes they caused: 1. Rubbernecking (looking at a crash or incident, 16% 2. Driver fatigue, 12% 3. Looking at scenery or landmarks, 10% 4. Passenger or child distraction, 9% 5. Adjusting radio or changing CD or tape, 7% 6. Cell Phone, 5% 7. Eyes not on the road, 4.5% 8. Not paying attention (daydreaming), 4% 9. Eating or drinking, 4% 10. Adjusting vehicle controls, 4% 11. Weather conditions, 2% 12. Unknown, 2%

Love Yourself First By Camille Keith

A

s Valentine’s Day approaches, thoughts often turn to romantic relationships. But, what about the relationship we have with ourselves? It’s often easier to focus on how we care about others, but it’s also important to treat ourselves with love and compassion. Many people are more critical of themselves than they are of others. If you start to get stuck in negative self-talk, try to think about what you would say to a friend in a similar situation. When something doesn’t go your way, remember that this doesn’t mean things will always be bad. Accept what happened, and remember that you can try

something different next time. As we practice being kind to ourselves, we may gain a new perspective on the situation. Part of self-care is learning to accept all of our feelings without judging them. There’s nothing wrong with feeling sad or angry. Recognizing our feelings also means recognizing that feelings are separate from actions. Just because we feel angry, doesn’t mean we have to act on it. You get to choose if you want to yell, throw something, go for a walk, or write in your journal. You can also feel angry or upset about a situation without getting mad at yourself. Want to learn more about selfcompassion and practice better self-care? Counseling provides a

safe space to explore your emotions and thought patterns. My focus is on providing individual counseling, to help you understand yourself better and explore what you want from your relationships with others.

Camille Keith, MS, NCC is an LPC Intern under the supervision of Tara Sanderson PsyD, and provides individual counseling to help you clarify your values and maintain your sense of self in relationships. For more information, call (971) 295-1547 or visit camillekeith.com

alentine’s Day is when we show others we love them and that makes me think of hearts. Our hearts beat blood to our cells and exchange waste for oxygen and nutrients. A healthy heart makes a healthy life. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in people over 35 in the United States - more than 630,000 deaths each year. So much can be done to reduce your risk for heart disease. Here are ďŹ ve simple ways to take care of your heart. 1. First, maintain a healthy diet. Eat lots of fresh leafy greens and the rainbow of vegetables with small servings of lean meat or protein. Vegetable servings should be the size of your face with meat servings no larger than your palm. Add VPDOO VHUYLQJV RI ÂżEHU ULFK whole grains. Make sure your fats are healthy – raw nuts and seeds, olive or coconut oil, avocados. Cheap oils are rancid and will damage your arteries. 2. Avoid hydrogenated fats, high fructose corn syrups and processed foods which tend to be high in ingredients that can cause damage. 3. Second, make sure to exercise 15-30 minutes per day to improve circulation and reduce stress. Take time to breathe and relax. Most TV and computer games stimulate the Ă€LJKW RU ÂżJKW UHVSRQVHV DQG

stress the heart. Turn them off for a while and allow for rest. 4. Do at least one good deed per week. Science shows that doing good things for others improves our mental health and reduces our isolation and stress. 5. Finally, drink less alcohol. Quit smoking. Lose weight. Everyone agrees that these are keys for healthy hearts. But if you start doing the things above, you probably won’t need to drink as much and it may be easier to stop smoking. Almost certainly, you’ll get lucky and lose a few pounds. This Valentine’s Day, be your own Valentine and take care of your heart.

Healthy Fats vs. Bad Fats: Part 1 How to Tell the Difference By Aloha Curves/Jenny Craig

S

taying away from fats is a strategy many people use to lose weight. However, you may actually be doing more harm than good, because there is such a thing as healthy fat and you may not be getting enough of it. Good fats help increase good cholesterol (HDL, high-density lipoprotein), deliver nutrients throughout your body, reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and lower bad cholesterol (LDL, low-density lipoprotein) and triglyceride levels. While all types of fats will expand your waistline, it’s best to cut the bad fats and take in the good, in moderation, of course. Fat is a fundamental part of your diet and

not getting enough of it can be a detriment to your health. It is important that you are eating enough fat in your diet and to make sure you are choosing the correct fats. The recommended daily value of fat is 20-30%. So, if you are trying to lose weight (about a pound per week), you should be eating 33-50 grams of fat per day (based on a 1500 calorie PHQX 1RZ OHWœV GLYH LQWR KRZ to tell the difference between the healthy and not so healthy fats. 22 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 8–Issue 2 (February 2018)

The Bad Fats Bad fats include trans-fats and saturated fats. These fats increase bad cholesterol (LDL), while decreasing good, HDL cholesterol and ultimately increase your risk of diabetes, stroke and heart disease. Trans fats are the worst for you. A mostly man-made fat, trans fat is primarily created by taking a healthy oil and turning it into a solid through a process called

hydrogenation. In the early 20th century, it was found only in vegetable shortening and margarine, but then companies started putting transfat in everything from cookies to )UHQFK IULHV 1R OHYHO LV VDIH RU KDV DQ\ EHQHÂżW VR IRRG PDNHUV are quickly eliminating this nasty fat from their products. Be sure to check food labels for “partially hydrogenated oilâ€? to avoid transfat in your diet. Saturated fat can also be considered a “bad guy.â€? Saturated fat occurs naturally in animal products (meat, dairy, eggs) and vegetable fats that are liquid at room temperature (palm and coconut oils). It’s best to limit saturated fats to just 10% or less of your total calories, according to the US Dietary Guidelines. Even though most people

know that trans fats and saturated fats are bad, the question still arises, “Is it okay to eat small quantities of bad fats?� As stated above, no level of trans fats are safe to eat. But, on the other hand, saturated fats are not as harmful as trans fats. While they still will negatively impact your health, small portions of these fats are okay, as long as you stay below 10% of total calories. It is recommended to consume saturated fats in moderation though as they are still considered a less healthy fat.

Cat’s Cradle Rescue Great news! All three cats listed last month were adopted! Find your new kitty friend by contacting us at www.catscradlerescue. com or call 503-320-6079. Our names are Gibbs and Abby, age 5 months, we are ready for a home with a kind person who will give us time to trust them. Our mother was a feral cat, we were rescued as older kittens and spent time in a Cattery until Cat’s Cradle Rescue found us a foster home. That means we are a little scared of people when we first meet you. We might not be lap kitty’s, but we are entertaining, we play all day with a few naps in-between. Often the 4 kitty’s that live in our foster home play with us. We are looking to find a patient family who will give us time to adjust. Our foster home has given us the experience of living in a home, it was scarey in the beginning with all the new sights and sounds. We get along very well with other kitty’s and maybe a small cat friendly dog, but we probably would not do well with kids. We are spayed and neutered, have all our vaccinations and great house manners. Our wish is to find a home for the rest of our days. Could it be yours?

Millie is a gorgeous six-year-old tortie with green eyes. She is spayed, has all her vaccinations and has great litter box manners. She loves to rub all over your hands and face, especially if you have a nice scratchy beard. Millie wants to be your ‘one and only’ in a calm adult household. She needs an experienced cat person who is patient and attentive to kitty body language. She sometimes becomes overstimulated

Scotch, is a 6-month old male kitten. He is playful with other cats, especially with those around his age. He loves the dog in his foster home and can be found many nights snuggled next to her on a small dog bed. He had intestinal issues as a kitten, as a result he is on a special diet. He is a little quiet, not shy. He is spayed and has all his vaccinations. He plays with children, he sits by you, not on you, when watching TV, but he loves a warm lap when he needs a snuggle. He is not a fan of being picked up and toted around. Scotch must be an indoor only kitty. Come visit this sweet kitty in his home and see

Pacific Pug Rescue You can help Snug and Twinkle in a big way by purchasing items off our Amazon Wishlist! We keep it up to date with the general items the pugs in our care could use the most. General donations can also be made through the Pacific Pug Rescue web site: www.pacificpugrescue.org.

Snug and Twinkle are a great pair of senior pugs that are very bonded. Because of Twinkle’s frail health and Snug’s anxiety, it was decided it would be best to let them live out their lives with their amazing foster mom who knows just how to comfort them.

Because of chronic ear infections, Snug has an adorable permanent head tilt. He is a very sensitive guy that worries when he is left alone. Twinkle has severe arthritis that limits her mobility she takes Adequan injections to help with this. She also has chronic bronchitis that requires cough medications. Twinkle’s medications are very expensive but we think she is worth it. Twinkle is so huggable, she has the softest fur and beautiful big eyes. You will never find them far apart, they are some of the sweetest pugs you will ever meet. We are proud to be able to provide a wonderful retirement home for these two thanks to generous donations.

About Us The Oregon Pioneer Association was formed in 1875 to create one central organization from the several pioneer groups that had been active since 1850 in various parts of the Oregon Country, including what are now the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, parts of Montana and the Province of

British Columbia in Canada. That Association became the Sons and Daughters of Oregon Pioneers in 1897 and incorporated in 1901, with the purpose of keeping the spirit, memories and stories of our forebears alive for future generations. The original Association also formed the nucleus of the Oregon Historical Society. In keep with that purpose, the SDOP celebrates Oregon’s entry as a state of the Union on February 14, 1859, our Valentine present to the United States.

A question often asked is, “Should I itemize or use the Standard Deduction?â€? The easiest way to solve this is to compare your Standard Deduction to your Itemized Deductions. Use whichever is greater. Another question has to do with the Individual Mandate. “Is it still in force and will I be penalized for not having insurance?â€? The answer is, “Yes, the Individual Mandate is still in effect and penalties will be assessed for those without Health Insurance with a few exceptions.
