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)

Wishing you a competitive 2019 LOCAL BUSINESS

I

t’s January...the 1st Quarter of the Game! Time to set the tone for the \HDU IRU DOO TXDUWHUV RI WKH competition. What customer service records are you going to set? How are you going to crush the competition in the customer engagement game? Take away the transactional customers that are only interested in the lowest price...your relational customers want engagement and great service. They want to know you care! They want you to go out of your way to dazzle them...and apart from the extra energy it takes to do this...it’s super easy. Are you ready to set customer service records?? Recently, I was shopping ORFDOO\ IRU VRPH HTXLSPHQW IRU P\ company. I prefer to shop local UDWKHU WKDQ RQOLQH KRZHYHU , ÂżQG that many brick and mortar businesses unfortunately have awful service and are pushing me more and more to on line shopping. The business I was trying to GIVE my money too did not have HQRXJK HTXLSPHQW VR , DVNHG WKH manager if they could order more in for me. He said he would be happy to check, but it was a Sunday evening when I was shopping and he said he’d have to call me within 24 hours to let me know. 1R SUREOHP , ZDV VDWLVÂżHG DQG ZDV FHUWDLQ KH FRXOG KHOS PH ÂżQG WKH HTXLSPHQW , ZDV ORRNLQJ IRU and that he would make it possible for me to GIVE his business my money!! 24 hours passed, and no call from Mr. Manager. FAIL! I called him, but he was busy so I left him a message. 24 hours, no return call from Mr. Manager so I emailed him. Guess what? Another FAIL! No return email. I tried calling again, and left another message 24 hours later. Strike 3! Fail! His lack of engagement, care, responsibility and his failure to simply communicate with a customer wanting to GIVE him $$ pushed me to take my business elsewhere! So...I went online. I found what I needed. The “freeâ€? delivery option allowed me to receive

T

riMet took an idea from the playbook of our friends across the pond to transport people between Beaverton and Wilsonville: A double-decker bus. TriMet used the twotiered bus while WES Commuter Rail service was down for system upgrades. While the buses are a staple of mass transportation in the United Kingdom and elsewhere abroad, TriMet said there is no plan for a permanent double-decker EXV EHLQJ DGGHG WR LWV ÀHHW DW this time. That doesn’t mean it won’t possibly be on Portland-area streets down the road. 7UL0HG RI¿FLDOV DVNHG riders to give them feedback about their experience riding the double-decker bus between Beaverton and Wilsonville, for possible future consideration. “Double-decker buses are one of many options TriMet is considering, as we look at innovative transportation solutions for the future,” according to a statement from the agency. The bus ride took about 40 minutes, with no stops between the two locations. Whether or not double-decker buses become a regular part of TriMet’s transportation services, riders will be seeing safety improvements on WES. 7UL0HW ¿QLVKHG LPSOHmenting a federally mandated safety system called Positive Train Control along the WES Commuter Rail corridor.

PTC can automatically slow down and stop a train if it senses that it’s going too fast or could get into an accident. “The additional two that we had been working on is establishing the work zones to keep the roadway workers safe, and then additional safety at crossings, where the train will get a code that he needs to stop before the actual intersection and then he is able to continue through,” said Katie Brown, project manager for PTC for TriMet. Tests took place nightly between the Beaverton Transit Center and Wilsonville Station.

Oregon Zoo welcomes new goat kid

Western White Pine OUTDOOR LIFE

Come visit our Family Farm!

• Binomial Name: Pinus monticola

OUTDOOR LIFE

• Soil Type: rocky, moist soils • Sunlight: Moderately-shade tolerant

A

pint-sized baby goat and his mom arrived at the Oregon Zoo recently. The new kid, whose name is Bruce Wayne, can be seen most days in the zoo’s Family Farm area with his mom, Lilac. “We’re so excited to welcome these two to the herd,� said Tanya Paul, who oversees the animals at the zoo’s Family Farm. “We’ve been keeping a close eye on Lilac since Bruce was born, and now that they’re here we can continue to make sure both mom and baby are happy and healthy.� Bruce was born Nov. 24 at the zoo’s Jonsson Center for Wildlife Conservation, an offsite facility located in rural Clackamas County, where critically endangered California condors are bred for wild release as part of a federal recovery program for the species.

• Form/Growth: Very large tree • Foliage: Evergreen

T Goats assist with brush control at the center by eating wild vegetation, including invasive plant species like English ivy and Himalayan blackberry. When Bruce is big enough, he’ll return to spend part of his time there as well. “That will be great for both animal welfare and species conservation,� Paul said. “It will be an enriching new experience for the goats and at the same time it will help our efforts to save critically endangered California condors.�

This new arrival makes %UXFH :D\QH RI¿FLDOO\ WKH tiniest goat at the zoo. Previous title holders Ruth and Sonia, stars of the popular video series Tiny Goat Visits, are spending some time at the Jonsson Center themselves. Fans of the show needn’t worry though: Ruth and Sonia will be back, and in the meantime, Bruce might appear in a new season of the series. To see some video of baby Bruce in action, visit bit.ly/BruceWayneGoat.

his tree was named by the explorer David Douglas on his journey up the west coast of North America in 1831. They are mainly found through the cascades from northern California all the way up into Canada and as Far East as Montana. Western White Pines are well suited for growing in valleys with rocky but moist soils. The cones of a White Pine are cylindrical in shape and are 4 to 6 inches long and the seeds are around 5 mm long and need several weeks of moist and cool weather to start their germination. The needles consist of 5- 1 ½ to 4 inch long bluish green needles with a white stripe beneath them. The growth habit of the Western White Pine is pyramidal in shape reaching around 60 feet tall and 20 feet in width.

Once again, the data shows that students who access S4’s afterschool academics and athletics did better than peers in attendance, behavior, and grades. S4 uses the opportunity to play sports as the “hook� to get students to sign up for this free, afterschool program. 7KH SURJUDP WKHQ UHTXLUHV students to meet certain accountability standards in order to participate in popular weekend activities such as interschool tournaments. Data consistently shows this approach translates into better school performance for those

students who participate when compared to a “control group� of their peers. Highlights from the 20172018 school year:

• Attendance: S4 students had a 94% attendance rate, compared to peers who attended only 92.2% of the time. While this doesn’t sound like much of a difference, it translates into S4 students being in class

3.6 extra days a year more than their peers. Attendance is also considered one of the key factors in school success.

S4

improves Attendance Behavior Grades

Last year, with community support, BEF was able to provide this program completely free to about 700 students at eight middle schools plus one option school that serves the middle school grades. This year we hope to expand enrollment to serve 900 students. This spring we will pilot an experiment that adds a third day at one school site and adding the opportunity to play basketball. If this pilot works well, we hope to roll it out to two to three additional sites next fall. Like many

in our state, the Beaverton School District is unable to support programs outside the school day, so BEF steps in to make this impactful program possible. Your contributions help ensure programs like S4 are available to support our students. “Data shows that students who access S4’s afterschool academics and athletics did better than peers in attendance, behavior, and grades. “

2018

was a great year for downtown Beaverton with thousands of visitors coming downtown to experience exciting events like the Saint Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl, the Wine & Chocolate Walk, Beaverton Restaurant Week, Oktoberfest, BOO-verton Trick or Treat, and the German Holiday Market. The Beaverton Downtown Association (BDA) is prepping for yet another exciting year, with programs and activities that will add to the vibrancy of our historic downtown Beaverton community. We will once again have the Saint Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl in March and a new and improved Wine Walk in May, so keep your eyes open for ticket sale announcements.

dog license for a spayed or neutered dog in Washington County costs just $24 per year. Unfortunately, there are far too many unlicensed dogs. In order to help people understand the need, here are the top 5 reasons why dog owners should license their dogs:

#1: It is the law! #2: You can avoid a $160 citation for not complying with said law. #3: If your dog is ever brought to the shelter, you will save PRQH\ 7KH ¿UVW WLPH LPSRXQG fee for a licensed dog is only $10 (compared to $65 for an unlicensed dog). Even the most responsible owners occasionally have things happen that allow their dogs to get loose. #4: To prevent the spread of rabies. Dog licenses were created to help local authorities keep track of which animals have received their rabies vaccinations. If your dog bites someone and breaks the skin, dogs with current rabies vaccinations face far fewer restrictions (and less costs to their owners) than dogs that do not have current vaccinations. #5: To help support necessary animal services in our community. Your pet’s license helps to pay for the cost of operating the Bonnie Hays Animal Shelter, investigating neglect and abuse cases, investigating dog bites, picking up stray animals in your community, and more. We hope that with more education on licensing, fewer pet owners ZLOO GRGJH WKLV UHTXLUHPHQW +HOS us keep more animals and people safe in Washington County!

tarting afresh brings reminiscence and planning. How often do we plan for when we are in our 60’s, 70’s and 80’s? When we are in our 20’s and 30’s we are enjoying life that the later years of life seem far off and able to be addressed later. For those of us who are in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s or have parents in their 70’s and 80’s, having a plan for now in addition to 3-5 years and later is important, especially when it comes to aging and health and where you will be living. In determining the right home in our second half of life, there are key factors to consider; health and mobility, proximity to amenities, affordability, manageability, as well as nearness to family and remaining in a known neighborhood are very important. Most often an initial downsizing step is to move to a one level home, which is excellent.

It allows for ease of living on a daily basis without the need to climb or descend stairs. It can also allow for wheel chairs if the hallways and doorways are an appropriate width. It is the next move that can be more challenging as it may be due to a change in health and cause a move to be made. Give yourself the gift of planning by starting to learn about options when they are not necessary to be made. That way, it can be more fun and investigative rather than coming from need and stress. Seminars are a great

Beaverton Bulletin Board way to learn about options, reading, speaking to friends who have made later life moves are additional ways to gather information. Give yourself the gift of knowledge by having a plan because wherever you call home it is your sanctuary.

As you think about making changes, remember that personal growth is a process. First, we have to consider if trying something new is going to be worth the effort.

Post-holiday season is the perfect time to reevaluate your schedule and consider focusing on your bedtime routine. Better sleep won’t just help you feel more rested — studies indicate that it can also support your weight loss goals. Research shows that too little sleep can cause you to feel hungry and may increase the likelihood that you’ll reach for unhealthy foods, especially late at night. It’s believed that the increase in appetite is due to a surge in the hunger hormone — ghrelin — that is impacted when you don’t get enough Z’s. What’s more, poor sleep is linked to a higher body mass index and weight gain. Practicing good sleep hygiene habits, like avoiding caffeine

20229 SW TV Hwy, Aloha | 503-356-5454 | Jennycraig.com | curves.com before bed and eating with your circadian rhythm, could help you feel better. The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults aim for seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Try This: Tuck in 5-10 minutes early tonight or wake up a few minutes later in the morning. Adjust as needed until you reach your goal. #2 Outline your goals If your healthy eating habits and exercise routine fell short during the holidays, revisit your goals and set new ones for the week, month, or year. Setting goals and completing them each week — getting enough sleep,

adding exercise back into your routine, or making self-care a priority — is a great way to stay ahead of the game. Use these weight loss motivation tips for extra support along the way. Remember to celebrate your victories, no matter how small! They’ll help fuel your post-holiday motivation as you work towards your new weekly and long-term targets. Try This: Put pen to paper and write down your short and longterm goals. Research shows that people who vividly describe their aspirations are 1.2 to 1.4 times more likely to accomplish them.

#3 Stay on track with physical activity Exercise can not only help you burn calories and keep your heart healthy, but it may also improve how you feel. According to the American Psychological Association, there is a strong link between H[HUFLVH DQG PRRG -XVW ¿YH PLQutes of moderate exercise, such as taking a walk or riding a bike, can be enough to lift your spirits. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of aerobic activity weekly plus muscle training on two or more days per week. Get started with these easy ways to incorporate exercise into your everyday life. Try This: Sneak more movement into your day by making subtle changes: park your car farther away from your destination; take the stairs instead of the elevator. Every step counts! #4 Get organized at work You might feel pressure to overschedule or overcommit yourself when you get back to work after the holidays. Instead of adding stress, start the year by creating and setting realistic, achievable goals. A great way to manage your stress at work is to set 3-5 daily goals to help you prioritize the critical items you need to complete each day. Create new, stress-free habits by scheduling a daily lunchtime walk or other exercise at work. Try This: Research has found that people tend to be more creative when they’re on foot.11 So LI \RX ¿QG \RXUVHOI LQ D FUHDWLYH

slump, take a quick break and head outdoors — or better yet, schedule a walking meeting. #5 Stay hydrated If you feel drained and worn down after the holidays, it may be time to check how much water you’re drinking each day. Water is critical to our health and can help with weight loss. A small study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found drinking almost 17 ounces of water temporarily spiked participants’ metabolic rate by 30%. Experts recommend women GULQN DW OHDVW FXSV RI ÀXLGV while men should drink about 15.5 cups daily. Drink more if you exercise or are sick – water, tea and sparkling water are all great options.

The best way to get over a patch of black ice is essentially to do as little as possible. If you need to slow down, slowly lift your foot off of the accelerator while keeping your steering wheel straight. Be extra cautious on bridges and overpasses because the pavement freezes faster due to the fact that the air can cool it from above and below. This means that it’s more likely that you will see black ice on bridges and overpasses than a

There is potential for a resolution for everyone and just about everything; so how about a resolution to help your workplace have a more inclusive culture toward people with disabilities? It’s a resolution that is pretty easy, unlike so many others we tend to make DQG TXLFNO\ EUHDN This past year our team at Dirkse CC assisted over 30 individuals who experience various disabilities in obtaining employment in our community, many of whom were featured in The BRG as community success stories. (Please see past editions online.) The success stories happened because, in many cases, employers made a commitment to become more inclusive and look at the skills and abilities of each candidate, matching them with their business need.

Driving safely in slick conditions COMMUNITY

force at each wheel to allow you to maneuver while simultaneously slowing down. So in an emergency, don’t just jam on the brakes, keep steering! No safety system can ensure you avoid all accidents, but anti-lock brakes undoubtedly have saved many drivers from disaster. Note: most ABS systems cause the brake pedal to shudder when they activate to let you know they’re working, so don’t lift off the brakes when you feel this vibration; it’s perfectly normal.

Hello loyal Beaverton Readers!

T

hank You to all of you who have called and written in. We have received two emails regarding safely driving in slick conditions from our Beaverton residents, so here are some safety tips. 1. Drive Super Smoothly The key to safe driving in snow is being smooth with the steering wheel, accelerator, and brakes. Why? Jerky movements with the controls easily unstick tires that have a tenuous grip on the slippery road. So every turn of the wheel, push of the brakes, and movement of the throttle must be deliberate, gentle, and gradual. Pretend there’s a cup of scalding coffee in your lap and drive so as not to spill it! 2. Look Far Ahead The slipperier it gets, the farther down the road you should look and think. Anticipate what you’ll need to do next. Slow way down for turns. Allow double the stopping distance when the road is wet, triple on snow, and even more on ice. Driving carefully and safely takes extra concentration and distance. 3. Heed the Flashing Lights How much traction do you actually have on a snowy road? One way to know before you get into trouble is to understand what RQH SDUWLFXODU VPDOO DPEHU ÀDVKing light in the instrument cluster means (it’s an outline of a car with VTXLJJO\ OLQHV EHKLQG LW ,I \RXœUH accelerating in a straight line and this light is blinking, this is the stability-control system warning you that the wheels that drive the car are slipping. Heed it and ease up on the accelerator so the tires regain their grip. If you’re turning and see a blinking amber light, this is also the stability-control system alerting you that the car is beginning to slide from your intended path. Again, ease back on the accelerator until you are no longer applying any throttle. This allows the car to regain grip. And do not

accelerate aggressively when turning tight corners in town on snowy or slushy streets. Always ease into the accelerator so that nothing untoward happens abruptly. 4. Look Here! If you feel your car beginning to skid, always, always, look where you want to go, not where the car is heading at that precise moment. Let your peripheral vision take care of whatever you’re trying to avoid. Racing drivers know that you almost always end up where you are looking. That’s one of the reasons they’re so good at recovering from skids. 5. Deal with the Skids Sooner or later you will hit a VOLFN VSRW DQG JHW D TXHDV\ IHHOLQJ in the pit of your stomach as your car starts to slide away from the direction in which you want to be heading. Skids, even big ones, can be managed, and you can bring the car back under full control in short order. First, don’t panic and don’t stab the brakes! Instead, do the following: 1. For a front-wheel skid, where the front tires lose grip and the car turns in a wider arc than you expect, ease off the gas. In a beat or two, the front tires should regain traction. Then aim where you want to go as your traction returns. 2. For a rear-wheel skid, where the rear tires lose traction and you feel yourself beginning to VSLQ RXW TXLFNO\ WXUQ WKH VWHHUing wheel in the same direction

that the rear is sliding. If, say, the rear is swinging to the left, turn the wheel to the left. Ease off the accelerator and stay off the brakes. As the rear wheels regain traction, steer back in the original direction. No matter which type of skid you’re experiencing, make sure you keep your wheels pointed in the direction you want to be going. And you can gently (remember point number one) use your brakes if you think you can recover without hitting anything. If an impact is imminent, don’t be afraid to stand on the brake pedal as described in point number six.

7. Constantly Assess Your Traction

you are brake-testing for grip. 8. Beware All-Wheel Drive 9HKLFOHV HTXLSSHG ZLWK DOO wheel drive or four-wheel drive can lull you into a false sense of security on slick roads. They send their power to all four wheels rather than just two, which on slippery surfaces enables impressive, slipfree acceleration, especially from rest, which can make it feel as if you have much more traction than you actually do. Don’t be fooled: these systems don’t in any way improve your vehicle’s ability to turn or stop in snowy conditions, so expect it to behave just like any other “normal� vehicle when you push on the brake pedal or turn the steering wheel. If you want to assess how much traction you have, \RX FDQ HPSOR\ WKH WHFKQLTXH described in the previous step.

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.

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.

Starring MALIA TIPPETS, DANIELLE VALENTINE, ANTONÍA DARLENE, LAURA MCCULLOCH, and DAN MURPHY as Reverend Mother

EVERYTHING

THE STORY: A Doll’s House

traces the awakening of Nora Helmer from her previously unexamined life of domestic comfort. The Helmers have a seemingly traditional, settled nineteenth-century marriage. Torvald adores his wife, although he patronizes her, and belittles her comprehension of the world. Having been ruled her whole life by either her father of her husband, Torvald, Nora finally comes to question the foundation of everything she has believed in once her marriage is put to the test.

About The Picture of Dorian Gray OUT & ABOUT Experience Theatre Project, Beaverton’s only professional immersive theater company, is proud to announce a Pacific Northwest premiere of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, at the Beaverton Masonic Lodge in old downtown Beaverton over four weekends in January and February, 2019. The show has been adapted for an immersive live theater experience by ETP’s founder and artistic director, Alisa Stewart.

ABOUT THE STORY: A radiantly handsome, impressionable, and wealthy

young man is painted by a local London artist. A Faustian pledge to the devil to stay always as young as his portrait begins his dark pursuit of personal pleasure above all else. Led by the charming talk and famous

An Immersive Live Theatre Experience

wit of Lord Henry Wotton, Dorian becomes obsessed with beauty, youth, and the importance of immediacy. And as the rest of the world ages, Dorian stays youthful. His portrait, covered in secret in his dark attic, shows his true age, and the multitude of his terrible transgressions, including cold-blooded murder. This immersive production will be presented in promenade fashion, where the audience moves from scene to scene, following the actors. Seating will be available for those who are not able to stand for long periods of time.

THE STORY: Join us for a spur-of-the-moment, casual Script-Im-Prov performance of the one-act play Any Body For Tea? and follow six older women who live together in a boarding house, as they scheme to get that cute Irish Homicide cop who lives across the way to pay them a visit. Script-Im-Prov is a unique performance style that provides a glimpse into how a show comes together. The actors have been given scripts, they have no knowledge of what role anyone is playing (except themselves), and there is no rehearsals or director!
