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 first edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That first 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 first 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 traffic 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 find that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

2 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 5–Issue 1 (January 2015)

Hey, just because you’re a couch potato doesn’t mean it’s okay to lounge around all day watching football! Shop Local – Give Local – Stay Local… this is how we build a better Beaverton.

)25 7+( 1(: <($5 KJ Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? He’s all right now. KJ I’m reading a book about antigravity. It’s impossible to put down. KJ I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me. KJ You want to clone yourself? Now wouldn’t that be just like you! KJ I couldn’t quite remember how to throw a boomerang, but eventually it came back to me. KJ No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation. KJ I used to have a fear of hurdles, but I got over it. KJ Einstein developed a theory about space, and it was about time too. KJ There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said ‘Keep off the Grass’. KJ There was a mathematician who frequently sunbathed and often strayed from the topic of conversation. He was a real tan gent KJ If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? KJ What did the papa buffalo say to the baby buffalo before he went to work? “Bison”. KJ Do bakers with a sense of humour bake wry bread? KJ Smaller babies may be delivered by stork but the heavier ones need a crane.

dashboard. It is a costly repair. This is a common issue with vehicles with higher mileage. The heater core is a part that looks very much like a small radiator, the engine coolant-antifreeze circulates through the heater core which allows air from the blower motor, or heater or Air conditioning fan, to blow air across and through it in order to heat the vehicle’s cabin. The reason the windshield is fogging is because the heater core is beginning to leak. The heater core would require the entire dashboard of the vehicle being removed in order to gain access to it. This repair is very costly, and in some cases is more expensive than the net worth of the vehicle, depending on the age and mileage. I would suggest getting more than one estimate on this repair.

My grandmother who drives extremely cautious stops a half a car length or more behind the white stripe at a stop sign. Then when she goes, it almost feels like she is running the stop sign and could get a ticket even though she came to a full stop. Could she get a ticket?

omen today are getting out and exploring the world more than ever. Women-only travel groups are on the rise, and more and more women are interested in travel experiences

that have a positive impact on the world. Yet, many women still feel like travel isn’t an option for them. Safety is always a concern for female travelers. Some women don’t have anyone to travel with and they don’t want to travel alone. Others simply don’t have the time it takes to plan a big trip. Some women are looking for something new and unique, but they don’t know

where to find it. Travel That Matters, a local business, was created to solve all of these issues. Anne Berry and Angela Jacobus, a mother/ daughter duo, are experts in going beyond the typical tourist experience. They use their expertise to create unique, safe and supportive travel experiences for small groups of women. They’re especially passionate about creating meaningful cultural connections in the locations they visit.

ffective Jan. 1, 2015, THPRD is implementing changes that will bene¿t many ¿tness enthusiasts, military families, and participants who live outside district boundaries. The district is taking a new approach to its group ¿tness programming, dropping the preregistration requirement for more than 200 weekly group classes, including yoga, Pilates, Zumba, BodyPump and aqua ¿tness classes. (Elsie Stuhr Center and Tualatin Hills Nature Center patrons may still preregister for some group ¿tness programs.) The district’s new Deluxe Pass allows patrons to participate in group ¿tness classes at any

facility whenever space permits. It provides up to two hours of free childcare at participating facilities, and also includes access to pools, weight rooms, cardio equipment and other drop-in beneÂżts included with the General Pass (formerly Frequent User Pass). “We wanted to introduce a more user-friendly model to give guests better access to all of our facilities,â€? said Sharon Hoffmeister, superintendent of Aquatics. “The more you use it, the lower your cost per visit, and there’s nothing lost when you don’t go.â€? The Deluxe Pass for an adult (ages 18-57) can be purchased monthly for $51.50 or at a discounted rate for periods of three, six or 12 months. Daily admission to a Âżtness class, without the childcare beneÂżt, is $10 for in-district adults. To encourage more participation by out-of-district residents, THPRD is introducing an option

6*24&Ĺ?U PGY &GNWZG 2CUU GPCDNGU RCVTQPU VQ RCTVKEKRCVG KP ITQWR Ĺż VPGUU ENCUUGU YKVJQWV RTGTGIKUVTCVKQP

that lets them choose to pay a 25% premium for each class taken, instead of the required assessment ($80 quarterly or $320 annually). This option will apply to all classes as well as General Passes, Deluxe Passes, and drop-in activities.

THPRD also now allows outof-district residents to begin registering two days after indistrict residents. Previously, the waiting period was six days. THPRD is also introducing a 10% discount for military personnel (including veterans) and

Providing Effective, Integrated and Compassionate Complementary Medicine for pain, injuries, family medicine, stress reduction, women’s health care, fertility enhancement and wellness for more than a decade.

dependent family members. “The idea of a discount for military personnel is one that has been discussed here at THPRD for a long time,â€? said Director of Planning Aisha Willits. “We are pleased to Âżnally make it happen and honor them and their families for their service to our nation.â€? In addition, the district will begin implementing a Âżve-year schedule to standardize, at 10%, larger discounts currently provided to seniors, youth, and patrons with special needs. Reduction of current discounts will be carried out over a multiyear period.
