y wife pulls our Corolla in between two parked cars at a Cedar Hills grocer. On our left is a car with “Tree hugging dirt worshipper” and “Obama 2012” bumper stickers. Ironically, the car on our right also has two bumper stickers; one signifying NRA membership, the other a Trump sticker. I smile at the two cars saying out loud “I love Beaverton.” While our house’s zip code is in Portland, Beaverton is mere blocks away and is where we prefer to spend our free time. For us, spending time among the “live and let live” mindset of the Beaverton community is a welcome respite because it’s a city that not only honors outward diversity, but diversity of thought. Inside every business we visit, from whiskey bars to Mediterranean restaurants to malls, we encounter friendly people who willingly hang out with those ZKR WKLQN DQG ORRN GL൵HUHQWO\ than themselves. Instead of signs
posted on every doorway telling us we’re “safe” or “welcomed,” this ethic is demonstrated by the smiling faces and tolerant attitudes we encounter. In Beaverton we are valued simply because we’re there, and this goodwill radiates out, carrying us on the days when the rest of the world is busy prioritizing sanctimony over civility. Beaverton is our home community because wherever we go in it, there are people getting along and focusing on community rather than conformity. It is a city where unity is lived out loud. Our home may not reside there, but our hearts certainly do. Frances Quaempts is homemaker, dog wrangler, and writer who can often be found hanging out in downtown Beaverton.

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR
Hello Beaverton, welcome to another issue of The Beaverton Resource Guide. As a full-color, monthly newspaper that’s dedicated to the positive aspects of our community, you can be sure to find interesting and uplifting stories about what makes our city one of the best in the country (ranked #3 nationally for “Best Places to Raise a Family” in 2018 by www.livibility.com). The goal of The BRG can be easily read at the top of each page: connecting people who live, work or shop in and around Beaverton with the abundant local resources available. So whether you are shopping and want to try out a new store or perhaps you are a new store and you’d like to reach out to the neighbors who live close by, The BRG is equally useful and happy to help play the role of match-maker. We also know a lot about what’s going on in the county and for those who are looking to get Out & About, we have the county’s event calendar, an exclusive with the Beaverton Farmers market, an extensive regional theatre line up, a full list of library programs as well as other announcements to help you connect to whatever interests you. The BRG is available for pickup at over 170 locations from major grocery retailers, restaurants, doctor offices and hotels to city hall, the police station, regional libraries and the farmers market. For more information about advertising rates, current or past stories, distribution, our photo gallery and more, visit www.beavertonresourceguide.com. Thank you and I hope you had as much fun reading this issue as I have had putting it together. Sincerely, Michael Wong (Managing Editor)

OUR TOWN
he city is launching a Housing Options Project (HOP) to identify housing wants and needs, as well as where and how additional housing types might be allowed in the city’s residential neighborhoods. Plan to attend an upcoming community open house to learn about potential housing options (accessory dwelling units, duplexes, row houses and more!) and share your priorities, concerns and preferences for your neighborhood. Community feedback will help guide IXWXUH H྾RUWV DQG LQÀXHQFH SURMHFW outcomes. In Beaverton, topics like housing availability are important. There continues to be a shift in the type and location
of housing people want, and a need for a greater variety of housing types at all income levels. A broad goal is to approach this project in a balanced way that supports UHYLWDOL]DWLRQ HŕľľRUWV ZKLOH HQVXULQJ WKDW our city is welcoming, inclusive and still within reach for everyone. Potential outcomes include a housing options strategy to help guide future HŕľľRUWV XSGDWHV WR WKH FLW\ÂśV 'HYHORSPHQW Code that will consider neighborhood preferences, and an implementation plan for next steps. Learn more at www.BeavertonOregon.gov/HOP. Housing Options Project Community Open House: Tuesday, Feb. 5 | 5:30-7:30 PM Beaverton City Library Room B (12375 SW 5th Street, Beaverton)

etter yet...what is your business reputation in the age of clutter, increased competition, impatient customers, and online options? IF YOU’RE NOT 5 STAR ON THE FOLLOWING... YOU HAVE TROUBLES ON THE HORIZON: • Are your people friendly? • 'R WKH\ HQJDJH \RXU customers, or are they more interested in what’s on their phones? • Responsive...are you and \RXU WHDP UHVSRQVLYH" 'R you return customer calls, emails, online queries... lightening fast? • 'R \RX UHDG \RXU FXVWRPers minds? In other words, knowing what they like or need...do you go the extra mile to help-please-serve them? • How clean is your bathroom? Yep! Your porcelain throne says a lot about you! Clean? Orderly? Smell good? If not, you send a sloppy message to your customers. • 'R \RX JUHHW \RXU FXVWRPHUV" 'R \RX VD\ WKDQN \RX and goodbye as they leave? (Believe it or not, some don’t!) Sound Basic? That’s because it’s Customer Service 101!
HOWEVER...why are more businesses than ever so bad at customer service? Apart from wanting to be a
5-Star Service Pro...you have to want to serve! You have to want to dazzle! You have to want to go the extra mile! WAIT...you’re not done. Apart from just talking about service with your crew, you have train, train, train, retrain and remind on a regular basis. Even with your veterans. Especially with your veterans. Once you think you’ve made it to the customer service promLVHG ODQG '21¶7 'RQ¶W HYHU think you’ve made it.

f you’re looking for the best place to raise your family, one online report says Beaverton is the spot. Livability.com put Beaverton third on their annual list of the top 10 best places to raise a family in the U.S. Beaverton was noted for its great schools, public transportation, outdoor natural areas, scenic parks and employers such as Nike, Intel and IBM. The Livability.com editors noted Tom’s Pancake House is an ideal kid-friendly restaurant, while Ponzi Vineyards Historic Estate provides the best date night spot for frazzled parents. Other activities, organizations and areas around Beaverton were also highlighted in story, including the city’s 90 parks, 60 miles of trails and 1,400 acres of dedicated natural areas. “In fact, there’s a park within a half mile of every home here,” according to the report. “It’s wonderful and rewarding to receive this kind of recognition and continually see Beaverton at the top of national rankings,” said MayRU 'HQQ\ 'R\OH ³:H DUH D friendly, active and responsive city with wonderful parks,

I’m proud of this honor, and thankful to our residents and many partners who make Beaverton the amazing city it is.” Factors considered in the rankings included U.S. cities with a population between 20,000 and 300,000, percent of population that is under age 6 years old, measures of children’s health, cost of childcare, number of parks and libraries, walkability and more. • In all, more than 2,000 cities were analyzed. • No other cities in Oregon or Washington made the list. • The number one city to raise a family, according to Livability.com, is Moscow, Idaho.

DFLÂżF 3XJ 5HVFXH LV D F QRQSURÂżW RUJDnization started in 2006. More than 100 Pug obsessed volunteers dedicate themselves to running the organization, including a passionate board of directors, some of whom have been volunteering for us since the beginning. We rescue, rehabilitate and place unwanted, neglected and abused Pugs in permanent adoptive homes that have been carefully screened. The Pugs and former owners we work with are from throughout Oregon, Idaho and Washington and we rescue pugs regardless of age or medical condition, seeking
to provide for their short and long-term needs. Prior to adoption, our Pugs are cared for by our dedicated foster families located in the Portland Metro area. While there and before adoption can occur, our Pugs receive medical care including spaying/neutering, dental checks, vaccinations, and microchips. In addition to saving Pugs, we strive to educate the public about the breed, including its personality, health issues and care, and about the importance of domestic animal population control. $V D FKDULWDEOH QRQ SURÂżW we rely on donations from the community to care for and save Pugs in our community. As a result, there is a minimum adoption donation for each adopted Pug. This donation helps pay for medical expenses, which average $1,613 per Pug. In 2018 we took in 106 pugs.....more than 55 of those have been seniors! The typical minimum adoption donation ranges from $150.00 to $550.00, depending on age and a variety of other factors. Our work wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be possible without volunteers who provide foster homes, transport pugs, review applications, organize fundraising events and so much more.

his summer I had the opportunity through Saturday Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ASE program to intern at the Food Innovation &HQWHU ),& XQGHU 'U -RYDQD Kovacevic and John Jorgensen, M.Sc. student. My work primarily consisted of assisting John with his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project; an investigation into sources of contamination of Listeria spp. and Salmonella in produce processing environments. Subsequently, we provided facilities that were found to have bacterial contamination with information focusing on â&#x20AC;&#x153;seek and destroyâ&#x20AC;? methods of prevention and control. Currently, there is little to no data regarding bacterial contamination in produce, as until the last few years, produce was not considered a main vehicle for the transmission of these bacteria. Consequently, many of the facilities processing fresh produce are not well versed in contamination control. With the data we collect in this investigation, we hope to provide insight to food safety teams at these facilities in reference to controlling contamination. I was able to visit three facilities throughout the summer for sampling visits during which John and I followed OSU Food Safety )6 'HSW 6WDQGDUG 2SHUDWLQJ 3URFHGXUH 623 *XLGHOLQHV DQG using aseptic technique to retrieve swap samples from researched

From these results we are able to draw the conclusion that at this facility, a main source of contamination was likely raw product entering the

Out of everything I had the chance to do this summer, my favorite was going to the facilities and seeing the actual areas we would be testing.

Bone strength and density After menopause, women can lose up to two percent of their bone mass each year. When you consider that many women live well into their 80s, that loss can be crippling. A study by Tufts University showed that “strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk for fractures among women aged 50-70.” But what if you’re only in your 30s or 40s? You’ve got plenty of time to worry about bone health, right? Not really. Young women who exercise regularly achieve “greater peak bone mass” than those who do not; that peak generally occurs when you’re in your 30s.

Exercise can improve and maintain heart health in many ways. Perhaps the most obvious is that it helps us maintain a healthy weight. But it can also help lower our cholesterol and blood pressure, both of which are important for a healthy heart. The American Heart Association tells us that being physically active is paramount in preventing heart disease. In fact, they recommend “at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity at least 5 days per week for a total of 150 minutes.” This is exactly the kind of workout that Curves circuit training can provide.

All those treasures have needed to be stored somewhere and that somewhere is your home most likely the attic, garage, closets and possibly a rented storage unit. Holding onto what at the time were treasures or items of value, over the years can become clutter. Belongings, which are no longer in use, or an attached sentiment that has waned, results in years of storing paraphernalia not treasures. For example, a worktable full of tools, twelve of WKLV LWHP DQG ÂżYH RI WKRVH W\SH scenarios, decorative knickknacks that are only decorating the interior of a box.

And it was expected to be over $1 billion in 2018. Scammers are targeting real estate transactions due to high dollar amounts involved and digital transaction systems.

Using phishing schemes to spoof e-mail address or other information, they use this to mislead victims into wiring money that often once sent is out of the country in seconds.
What can you do? First never rely on e-mail only, call your RealtorÂŽ or the title company to verify any instructions especially if they have been changed.

Sub-contractors are starting to dig footings in preparation of foundation work and many site development activities are taking place including storm water trenching and installation of water lines on the site. The concrete and electrical sub-contractors are now on site
and have begun preliminary work on the foundation and electrical conduit throughout the project site. The building footings are currently being dug out and the concrete workers are making forms and will start hauling concrete in the next couple of weeks. Many construction supplies are being staged for the next phase, foundation work.

THE STORY: After losing most of their convent to an unfortunate food poisoning incident, the Little Sisters of Hoboken hold a hysterically haphazard variety show to raise funds to pay the burial costs for their sisters. With hilarious talent acts, tongue-in-cheek musical numbers, and help from the audience, Nunsense has blessed theatregoers worldwide for over 30 years and is the second longest-running Off-Broadway show in history.
THE STORY: Revolving around Truvy's Beauty Parlor in a small parish in modern-day Louisiana, this is the story of a close-knit circle of friends whose lives come together there. Filled with humor and heartbreak, these "Steel Magnolias" make us laugh and cry as the realities of their lives in a tiny Louisiana community unfolds.
