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.

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.

oining scores of other public agencies in Oregon, the Northwest and U.S., the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District will become completely smoke-free starting Feb. 1, 2014. The smoking ban applies to all grounds and facilities within the district’s 50-square-mile service area, including parks, trails, parking lots and athletic ¿elds. Smoking is already prohibited inside THPRD buildings. By a 5-0 vote, the THPRD Board of Directors approved the rule change at their regularly scheduled monthly meeting on Dec. 9. It was the second reading of an ordinance that would establish the ban. The ¿rst reading happened at the board’s Nov. 4 meeting.
The idea of a totally smoke-free THPRD was Âżrst formally proposed to the board in September by the district’s Parks Advisory Committee, which had done extensive research on the issue. Park District staff subsequently conducted public meetings, an online survey and other communications inviting comments from residents. Opposition was minimal. “This rule change encourages healthy lifestyle choices for our residents, which is consistent with our mission,â€? said Doug Menke, THPRD general manager. “Other beneÂżts include cleaner air, less litter, and reduced Âżre risk.â€? According to the Washington County Public Health Division, THPRD is the latest in an increasingly long line of public agencies that have adopted a smoke-free or tobacco-free policy. Local and in-state examples include the City of Beaverton, Beaverton School District, Hillsboro, Lake
As a result of a board-approved rule change, smoking will be prohibited on all THPRD property, including parks such as Commonwealth Lake (pictured here). The change goes into effect Feb. 1, 2014.
Oswego, Bend, Roseburg, Sherwood and many others. “THPRD’s smoke-free policy demonstrates a commitment to children, park users, and employees to improve the health of the community,� said Carla Bennett, tobacco prevention and education program coordinator for the county.
“It is people-friendly, eco-friendly and animal-friendly.�
100 pounds gone, U.S. Army here she comes By FOX 12 Staff
Karyna Douglass was on a mission. She dreamed of joining the military, but after learning she didn’t meet the weight requirements, she set out to lose 100 pounds. With the help of an Army sergeant in Beaverton, she achieved that goal. It all started last year on her birthday, when she went on a whale watching trip. That’s when she noticed the way others on the boat Karyna Douglass lost 110 pounds and was sworn in as a member of the Army in December. looked on in awe of the U.S. Coast Guard.

She remembers struggling at times, but she pushed through. “I had days where I remember, I don’t want to work out, I just want to sit on the couch and eat pizza. I just can’t do this.

“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” KJ “In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then He made school boards.” KJ “The easy confidence with which I know another man’s religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also.” KJ “Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.” KJ “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrowmindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the latter often called "the Great American Novel."

(Paula Deen) 2. The smaller the item, the higher the baking temperature. For example, I bake mini chocolate chip-toffee cookies at 500 degrees F for only 4 minutes. Perfect end result. (Jim Lahey) 3. Store spices in a cool, dark place, not above your stove. Humidity, light and heat will cause herbs and spices to lose their ďŹ&#x201A;avor. (Rick Tramonto) 4. Use a coarse Microplane to shave vegetables into salads or vinaigrettes. You can create an orange-fennel dressing by adding grated fennel and orange zest to a simple vinaigrette. (Paul Kahan)
5. Always make stock in a large quantity and freeze it in plastic bags. That way, when you want to make a nice soup or boil veggies, you can simply pull the bag out of the freezer. (Charlie Trotter) 6. If you're cooking for someone important â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether it's your boss or a date â&#x20AC;&#x201D; never try a new recipe and a new ingredient at the same time.

After making eggs sunny-side up, deglaze the pan with sherry vinegar, then drizzle the sauce on the eggs to add another dimension to the dish. (Didier Elena) 9. After working with garlic, rub your hands vigorously on your stainless steel sink for 30 seconds before washing them. It will remove the odor. (Gerard Craft) 10. Brine, baby, brine!

The gentle reader will never, never know what a consummate ass he can become until he goes abroad. I speak now, of course, in the supposition that the gentle reader has not been abroad, and therefore is not already a consummate ass. KJ In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.

The level of detail here is completely dependent on your data. For example, if you know if your customers are expecting children, you might be able to start a conversation on a new vehicle to better accommodate. If you know they take a regular vacation every year, it might be a good time to bring them in for maintenance before the trip. Once started on this exercise our clients have no trouble creating message points that would be relevant to triggers in their customers lives. The key is to identify the triggers, create a plan, and execute it. The execution could come in the form of emails, phone calls, direct mail, or social media. After your plan is in action, keep records of all the events and messages you send out. We are advocates of measuring every piece of marketing to evaluate its success. Retention plans should be the same
way. Keeping a log, or updating your contact list with new triggers is a great way to stay on top of your investment in the campaign and allows you to see real results. Take special care to track referrals, as that is great way to really serve the customers that promote you. You can invest in the relationship for stronger retention and trust. For example, there is absolutely nothing better for customer retention, than continuous follow up & contact. Â&#x201E;

We overestimate our ability to make good decisions. 2. Our resolve weakens when emotion takes over. 3. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much easier being virtuous when thinking of the future. 4. Human willpower is not a constant personality trait and ďŹ&#x201A;uctuates throughout the day. How to Achieve Them t Be SpeciďŹ c. People who explicitly make resolutions are 10x more likely to attain their goals than people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. t Break It Down: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your tough resolutions intimidate you. Break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. t Get Accountable: Put your reputation or money on the line. Set incentives or penalties linked to achieving the goals you set for yourself. t Sharing Helps Achieving: Committing your resolution to paper or screen and sharingn it with others increases your sense of responsibility to meet your objectives. Broadcast your intentions over Facebook or Twitter. t The Power of Automation: Automating important tasks like paying your bills or saving money can be invaluable, because it takes your behavioral biases out of the equation.

For example, obesity is the leading cause of heart disease, the number one killer in the U.S., and the second leading cause of cancer in men and women in this country. %HLQJ MXVW SRXQGV RYHUZHLJKW increases the risk of breast cancer by 50-70%.
