Make Memories This Summer By Lead Pastor Doug Boyd

W

hen you hear the word “Memoriesâ€?, what song, trip, special event or image immediately pops into your head? For me, summer always takes me back to my childhood when our family would pile into our Oldsmobile 4 door sedan and drive to my grandparent’s house. There we would VSHQG WKH ZHHN ÂżVKLQJ KXQWLQJ climbing trees and eating freshly baked cookies. With the end of school, comes the opportunity for us to continue the one tradition that never grows old‌..making memories. Whether it’s a family vacation, a 4th of July picnic, a family reunion, a neighborhood block party or just lounging by pool, summer should be about creating a scrapbook of VFDWWHUHG SLFWXUHV ÂżOOHG ZLWK VPLOing faces. Unfortunately, the enemy to making memories is the daily grind of life. Our jobs, trafÂżF PXFK QHHGHG KRPH DQG FDU repairs, relational and marital tension, all these can impact our ability and/or desire to create

memory-making opportunities. Don’t let the chaos and tension of life get in the way of painting some watercolor memories together this summer. Believe it or not, building memories can actually help lift the load that tends to weigh us down. People who make memories are not just sentimental‌..they’re smart. So, what memories are you planning to make this summer?

Doug Boyd is the Lead Pastor at First Baptist Church Beaverton. For more information about our church visit us online at www.fbcbeaverton.org

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 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.

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 ďŹ rst patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores outside our community. BRG Advertising: 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!

Dear Neighbor, Your support is essential to creating a safe and healthy environment for our kids and community! Our goal as members of the Raleigh Hills Track Committee is to raise the additional funds necessary to install a brand-new track that will be enjoyed by the Raleigh Hills students and the surrounding community.

The Proposed Project: The Beaverton School District does not have funding in their budget to address the safety and usability concerns posed by the degraded RHS track. As such, the RHS Parent Teach Organization (PTO) formed a committee to explore solutions and fundraise for the project. Keeping active is so important for kids and adults alike! The new track will mitigate the risk of injury and breathe new life into our established school and community. Moreover, it will provide safe and free access to physical activity and sport for low-income students and neighbors for whom affording expensive sports equipment and gym memberships are out of reach.

Thank you for considering supporting this great cause! Stay tuned for more FUN RUN details coming this fall, including how to sign-up, when school is back in session! To learn more and DONATE to the track project, visit rhstrackproject.com

ascara is native from northern California to British Columbia, as far east as the Rocky Mountains in Montana. It grows in fairly dry to wet sites in full to partial sun and is most common in mixed woods and along stream sides. Cascara is an erect, tall shrub or small tree about 33ft (10 m) tall, with thin, smooth, silver-grey bark. The shiny, deciduous leaves are simple, alternate and are clustered near the ends of twigs. They are oval (5–15 cm long and 2–5 cm wide), are darker green on top than the bottom, have tiny teeth on the margins, and parallel veins. &DVFDUD ÀRZHUV DUH VPDOO

uly is one of the hottest months in Beaverton, where temperatures can reach up and over 90 degrees. It’s easy to imagine fun days at the pool drinking cold lemonade, but we can’t forget about the dangers that this heat brings. Especially for dogs and children. Every summer there are reports of children or pets being left in hot cars. It may seem like it’s cool enough to leave them in the car, but some people don’t realize how quickly the interior of a car can heat up. A study conducted by Stanford found that regardless of the outside temperature (as long as there is sun), the interior of a car can heat up by an average 40 degrees F within one hour. This proves that even for a short amount of time leaving a loved one in the car can be deadly.

Be safe, and protect your pets and children! The only way to avoid the deaths of pets and children because of heat is to not leave them in a car, period. If you’re worried about forgetting them in a car, then set an alarm on your phone or place something in the front seat that reminds you of them. Be careful of hot pavement Another danger that the heat brings for dogs is the temperature of pavement outside. Asphalt can exceed 145 degrees F. While humans have shoes and might not notice it, dogs have paws that are very sensitive to this heat. To check if it’s too hot to walk your dog on the sidewalk, you can touch the back of your hand to the ground and hold it for ten seconds. If it’s too hot for you to do that, then it’s too hot for you dog. It’s easy to keep your pets and

Held at the Hillsboro Tuesday Night Market in downtown Hillsboro, Dogs on Parade is a chance for us to connect with our community. Kim Maus from KPTV will once again be the emcee for the event and we will start the evening R྾ ZLWK SHUIRUPDQFHV E\ WDOHQWHG people and dogs. Then, everyone has the chance to get in on the action by taking part in the dog parade through the market. The highlight of the evening is the contests, where the attendees become the stars of the show with prizes awarded for the Best Costume, Biggest Dog, Littlest Dog (over one year), Best Owner/Dog LookAlike, and Best Trick. Dogs who are comfortable around people and other dogs are encouraged to join us with their

families. Kids especially seem to love Dogs on Parade, just be sure to remind them not to touch dogs without getting permission. With so many dogs and other distractions, you should probably leave any other types of pets at home – few cats are likely to appreciate an event like this! The festive atmosphere at the market tends to put everyone in a good mood and makes for an enjoyable summer evening. Our VWD྾ DQG YROXQWHHUV DUH ORRNLQJ forward to answering questions about our shelter programs, lost & found pets, dog licenses, available resources, and anything else people want to chat about.

f you have never encountered ants in your home or business, count yourself among the lucky few. But if you are like most people, you’ve fought your fair share of battles against this pest. Odorous house ants also known as sugar ants, are a nuisance pest that can be seen marching across \RXU NLWFKHQ ÀRRU ORRNLQJ IRU IRRG moisture, and a place to live inside your home. If you see one or two scouts crawling around, you are just seeing the tip of the iceberg. This ant species has colony sizes that range in the thousands and can contaminate food in your home. To control these ants is not an easy process. First you need to know where they live, eliminate water sources, eliminate food VRXUFHV EORFN R྾ DFFHVV SRLQWV around the structure, and lastly don’t go it alone. Without proper training and tools battling ants can be an uphill battle. What is worse, an infestation can continue to

grow if it is not properly treated. The use of over the counter sprays and aeresols will only spread and divide these colonies, and kill just a few. An ant infestation should be treated by a professional with the knowledge of the targeted pest and KRZ WR WUHDW WKH VSHFLÂżF VWUXFture. An initial treatment should be done to the entire structure to eliminate the present infestation, followed up by a maintenance treatment program to keep ants from reinfesting.

Bird sounds abound

Zoo welcomes baby colobus monkey

at Tualatin Hills By Donna Wiench, Portland Audubon

O

n an early June morning, I joined a recently retired Portland Audubon colleague, Pam Meyers, for a walk at Tualatin Hills Nature Park. It was a beautiful, partly-cloudy, early June day, warm enough for shirt sleeves, but cool enough for comfort. After a mere 25 yards or so, Pam stopped to listen to a sound I hadn’t noticed. “That,â€? she says, is a Western Tanager.â€? This was just WKH ÂżUVW RI D QXPEHU RI ELUGV ZH would meet by ear that day. Pam recognizes songs of roughly 165-175 birds.

THPRD employee uses CPR skills learned on the job to help save teammate's life by Amy Milshtein

When Ben Wu’s Westview High School teammate collapsed on the lacrosse Âżeld during practice on May 23, the THPRD lifeguard and swim instructor knew exactly what to do. And thanks in large part to him, 16-year-old Colby Clay is alive today. “I had just Âżnished my lifeguard recertiÂżcation a week earlier,â€? said Wu, who graduated from Westview in June. “I knew he needed CPR.â€? Clay had suffered commotio cordis after being hit in the chest with a lacrosse ball. The condition, in which the heartbeat is disrupted by a blow to the chest, is very rare and often lethal. Wu assessed Clay and administered compression-only CPR until an athletic trainer and emergency responders from the www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

Hillsboro Fire Department arrived. “Those technical skills came from my lifeguard training,â€? he said. “About half of the recertiÂżcation course is dedicated to addressing cardio events like this.â€? Wu has been a lifeguard and swim instructor at THPRD’s Sunset Swim Center since January 2016, balancing work with his busy academic and athletic schedules. “We never know when or where our employees will be called on to use the training they have received at THPRD,â€? said Lori Leach, Sunset Swim Center supervisor. “But we're always proud of them when they do, especially when someone's life is at stake.â€?

id you know that water makes up about 60% of one’s body weight? Water is the key component that makes many systems of the body function properly. According to the Mayo Clinic, water: • Gets rid of wastes through urination, perspiration and bowel movements • Keeps your temperature normal • Lubricates and cushions joints • Protects sensitive tissues When a person becomes

dehydrated she may experience light-headedness or dizziness (a factor in falls), have muscle weakness and be at greater risk for urinary tract infections. Cognitive changes may also be a sign of dehydration. Dehydration is one of the most frequent causes for hospitalization in the older adult population. Not only do warm temperatures contribute, but

Ask The Beaverton Car Guy

I’m a car broker, it’s what I do By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello loyal Beaverton Readers hank you all who have written in and called regarding the last couple of articles. I appreciate your feedback and comments. Over the last couple of weeks, I have received calls and emails about how to best purchase a new or used car. The callers often share similar stories of where they are past the point of searching Craigslist other online sites for the hidden deal of the century and they are thinking of heading to the dealership. Keep in mind that just because you know about cars and have bought several over the years, you are up against the dealers who sell the same amount in a day. They do this for a living to maximize the selling price and that’s even more of a reason to use a broker. We too are professionals but work on the side of the buyers to maximize savings. I’m a car broker. It’s what I do.

days or even hours later.

What exactly is a car broker? A car broker is an experienced car-buying consultant who negotiate for car-shoppers who either don’t have the time or simply don’t want to deal with the hassle.

In short, it’s people like me that save you money. Don’t get taken for a ride Buying a car is not an activity that many of us do with FRQÂżGHQFH ,Q IDFW PRVW RI XV are apprehensive as we recall the numerous horror stories of unwary shoppers being “taken for a rideâ€? or purchasing that dreaded lemon! This is why, in recent years, the interest in hiring a professional to ÂżQG \RXU SHUIHFW FDU LV JDLQLQJ DFceptance. There is a fee, of course but in many cases the selling dealership will cover this cost. But like any deal, it’s important to do a little research on the broker before you jump headlong into their arms, drawn by promises of lower prices and advocacy for your needs.

20 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 8–Issue 7 (July 2018)

The broker on your side The concept behind hiring an auto broker is relatively simple: you’re not a professional car buyer so why go up against a professional car seller alone? With the FRQIXVLRQ RI ÂżQDQFLQJ IHHV add-ons, taxes and the hurried, MDUJRQ ÂżOOHG QDWXUH RI WKH GHDOHUship, it only makes sense to leave the bargaining to someone who won’t be fazed by the wheeling and dealing. With just a little bit of research, \RX FDQ ÂżQG WKRXVDQGV RI WHVWLPRQLDOV RQOLQH RI VDWLVÂżHG FRQVXPHUV who were glad they chose a good broker. Countless success stories have been told and retold about the money people saved over a ÂłEHVW SULFH´ RŕľľHU PDGH RQH GD\ from a dealership, only to have a broker secure a better price just

A true story “I consider myself a good QHJRWLDWRU DQG WKLV ZDV P\ ÂżUVW time using an auto brokerâ€? said Beaverton resident Ann M. who I recently helped buy a Toyota 4Runner, “we had a very positive H[SHULHQFH ´ $W ÂżUVW VKH ZHQW WKH traditional route: heading over to a dealership and working with a salesman. But after reaching an LPSDVVH ZLWK WKH VDOHV VWDŕľľ VKH decided to walk out and hire a broker, me. Sure enough, I was able to secure a price about $1200 cheaper than she was originally quoted on for the exact same vehicle and from the same dealership. This is possible because experienced brokers usually have relationships with dealerships built up over

years. The Dealership will give that broker a much better price because that broker essentially becomes a repeat buyer. Save money but also save time When buying a car, the national average spent with a salesman is 3.5 hours. For me, my typical start WR ÂżQLVK WLPH DW WKH 'HDOHUVKLS LV about 45 minutes.

The healing power of nature By Jennifer Means, ND, LAC

O

ne of the basic tenets of naturopathic medicine is “Vis Medicatrix Naturaeâ€? or The Healing Power of Nature. This is the inherent self-organizing process of living systems which establishes, maintains and restores health. To me, this speaks to the intelligence of the vital force that strives for balance and health, and that heals us when we are ill or injured. It is in our bodies. It is in our food. It is in our plant medicine. It is an inherent force in our natural world. Just look at the Columbia River Gorge. Last year, it was devastated E\ D PDVVLYH IRUHVW ÂżUH 7KLV \HDU it is full of new growth. In time,

Nature will heal the land. The forest will return.

But as we get more obsessed with our electronic devices, our on line connections to the world at large, we lose this vital connection. We are more likely to feel alienated and more prone to reduced attention spans. Richard /RXY FDOOHG WKLV ³1DWXUH 'H¿FLW Disorder� in his book, Last Child in the Woods. Children and young adults are especially vulnerable to this disorder. There is an immense amount of research showing that nature is good for our health. Spending time in nature reduces stress, lowers our blood pressure, improves our mental outlook, gives us good nutrients like oxygen and vitamin

D, and decreases pain. Being in nature increases dopamine and serotonin in our brains – chemicals that are associated with improved sense of satisfaction and motivation. Nature reduces anger, stress and aggression. It promotes a sense of community, it promotes healthy babies. Nature is a powerful antidepressant. And as we spend time in nature, as we begin to recognize and appreciate the medicine of natural spaces, we become more inclined to maintain and protect them. Nature becomes more than a commodity. It becomes part of our community.

So, for quick relief from stress, alienation and depression, put your electronics away and spend an afternoon hiking, or strolling through a garden, or reading a book under a tree in a neighborhood park. Consider it medicine. The Vis Medicatrix Naturae.

Out & About | W hat’s Happeni ng A round B eaverton This Month? Adoption: Ad ti Need a Friend, Got a Friend

Cats that need new homes ADOPTION old petite senior looking for a quiet, indoor home. My favorite pastimes are: exploring empty boxes, getting ear scratches, drinking water from the sink, and curling up next to you under the covers. Small children and other pets send me hiding under the bed, so I prefer a home where I can be your one and only. I’m waiting for you at Cat’s Cradle Rescue 503-320-6079.

Monthly Luncheon The next ABA meeting will be held on 2nd Thursday of each month from 11:30 am - 1:00 pm hosted at the Peppermill Restaurant.

Horatio here! I’m a snuggle bug who loves cuddling with you or sleeping on the couch. I love being brushed, and don’t mind having my nails trimmed. While I prefer indoors, I also enjoy sitting on a balcony or back deck. I’ll even go for walks on a harness and leash. I love eating, and will let you know when it’s mealtime. I get along with dogs, but prefer to be the only cat. Come meet me at Cat’s Cradle Rescue 503320-6079.

I’m a chatty girl, so if you talk to me, I’ll likely answer back. I enjoy the great outdoors, but I won’t stray too far, and will follow you back inside. I’m at Cat’s Cradle Rescue 503-320-6079.

Like the three legs of a well-balanced stool, essence, spirit, and sweetness are blended to achieve the perfect pitch. Or maybe like facets of a gem that are cut “just so” to achieve brilliance. Anyway, finding the right balance is one of the key challenges and rewards of being in the spirits business. On the left you can learn a little more about each of the core aspects of a liqueur.

Beaverton Super Kids

COMMUNITY

About Elina Elina is a competitive dancer, a black belt in Taekwondo, runs track and field and enjoys swimming. Along with that, Elina is also actively involved with school clubs like SchoolsNEXT, OBOB, MathCOUNTS, and Rotary Club). In 2017, she was a junior camp counselor for at the Lake Oswego Parks and Recreation centers, and this summer, she was chosen as a Beaverton City library volunteer to help children, teens, and adults sign up for their Summer Reading Program.

Parent Message Kumon definitely receives the credit for our daughter’s independent study skills, advanced placement, and deeper understanding of mature topics in classes. Because of the caliber of work and the freedom given by her Kumon instructor Mrs. Bailey, at a young age Elina developed study skills beyond our shadowing (e.g taking it upon herself to complete her daily tasks for school and taking responsibility for her daily Kumon pages). Creating those habits helped her reach a very high level of academics in her middle school years.

In terms of mature topics, the Kumon Reading program (which she finished in March of 2016), exposed her to a new type of literature beyond what was being learned in her classes at the time; Shakespeare. Once Elina reached her 8th Grade English class, when they were learning Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, credit definitely goes to Kumon for teaching her the type of language, storylines, and juxtaposition of words ahead of time such that she would have a deeper understanding of the material the older she got.

Mary Elizabeth Summer is the author of the young-adult Trust Me mystery series. She lives in Beaverton with her wife, their daughter, their dog, and their evil overlor—er, cats.
