t City Hall we are in the homestretch of our annual budget process, when we review the past year’s accomplishments and plan for the year ahead. Our awardwinning Finance Department does an outstanding job. I encourage you to come to one of our public Budget Committee meetings. There is plenty of activity going on around town this summer. Beaverton takes good care of its
LQIUDVWUXFWXUH DQG \RXœOO ¿QG information inside this issue on street paving and other improvements. The Rose Biggi extension project near The Beaverton Building will reopen in mid to late May, three months ahead of schedule, providing better access between Hall and Canyon. Several new housing developments are going up in Old Town Beaverton, bringing more people to live, work, and shop in our city. You may notice that this issue of Your City looks a little different. We are currently working on a marketing plan to raise BeaverWRQœV SUR¿OH ORFDOO\ UHJLRQDOO\ and beyond, and this updated look is part of that effort. One of my favorite ways to kick off the summer is at Beaverton’s annual Picnics in the Park, which start this year on June 15. Come join us for a free meal and great entertainment in your neighborhood. Your councilors and I look forward to visiting with you!

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 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 trafďŹ c 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 ďŹ nd that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

As the hot months approach, here are some helpful hints for identifying and treating insects in your trees. 1. A common nuisance for anyone who has a Linden tree (Tilia cordata) is aphids.

The adult beetle, which is bronze and about 2� long, doesn’t do the damage. Her larvae, however, can be damaging and even deadly to a Birch tree.

Pearls are the Birthstone of June Also known as the “Queen of Gems� By Kaaren Bedi

e take them for granted these days but for centuries they have been among the most coveted and precious gems in the world. For most of history pearls were naturally occurring gems found in a verity of mollusks both marine and freshwater. First found in the waters of the Persian Gulf, the waters along the coast of India and
Sri Lanka and the rivers and lakes of China- the oldest mention dating back to 2206 BC. European pearl fever hit is high point during the years of exploration of the new world. They found H[FHSWLRQDO SHDUOV LQ 9HQH]XHOD Panama, the bay of Mexico and the rivers of North America. So

The culturing process involves enticing oysters to produce round pearls by inserting a piece of oyster epithelial membrane with a nucleus of shell into an oyster’s body or mantel causing the tissue to form a pearl sack. The sack then secretes “nacreâ€? to coat the nucleus thus creating a pearl. This joint effort between man and oyster has meant that nearly everyone can afford pearls.

his is something I have been wanting to write about for some time. With summer approaching, the barbecue pits will be â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ablazingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the smoky aroma of cooked meat will permeate our noses. However, how many times have you gone to a family picnic, only to be served a burnt hockey puck disguised as a hamburger patty? Well, no more, I say, as long as you follow these simple steps to a perfect burger.
Step 2. Be gentle to your patty! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over work the patty. Gently PROG \RXU SDWW\ DQG Ă&#x20AC;DWWHQ <RX want the meat to be tender.

Step 1. Good quality ground beef. I prefer to get a sirloin ground as well as keeping the fat ratio at 85/15. Going higher makes for a drier patty. Going lower and your patty shrinks too much!

How to Cook a Perfect Burger
I thought was â&#x20AC;&#x153;above and beyondâ&#x20AC;? service to all his customers. After smelling all the wonderful seasonings eminating from the dishes around me while I waited, I knew I had found a great new place to eat. Sam and his wife, Awilda 0HGLQD 9D]TXH] RSHQHG %RULNHQ six months ago. Sam had a passion for â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? Puerto Rican food and his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream was to open up their own restaurant. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream come true and Beaverton is WKH OXFN\ EHQHÂżFLDU\ The appetizer they served me ZDV ÂżYH FULVS\ SODQWDLQV VHUYHG with homemade garlic sauce called Tostones Con Mojo De Ajo ($5.95). I savored every bite! As I ate, I had a fun and relaxing dining experience: tin buckets for light shades, tropical plants
hanging from the ceiling, walls fully covered with island artifacts, Puerto Rican tourist sites on a 79 DQG WKH UHOD[LQJ VRXQGV IURP the Caribbean. All this added to a great vacation-like atmosphere. Lastly be prepared to smell the most delicious aromas that will excite your taste buds. With their homemade sauces and traditional Puerto Rican seasoning, I bet you could choose any dish off the menu and not be disappointed. Over all, this restaurant offered me a very clean and inviting, unique, a very fun â&#x20AC;&#x153;family friendlyâ&#x20AC;? atmosphere and I highly recommend that you drop by.
Step 3 (important step). Press an indentation (divot) in the middle of the pressed patty. Why? As the hamburger cooks, it swells. This â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dimpleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the middle of the patty will keep the patty evenly sized as it cooks. It seems like a silly step but it works!
Step 4. Keep the seasoning simple. Only kosher salt and cracked pepper. Season the meat after you have prepared the patties. Also make sure to season both sides of the patties.
Step 5. Leave your patty alone! Once you place the meat on the grill, leave it alone! Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t press WKH SDWW\ 'RQÂśW UHSHDWHGO\ Ă&#x20AC;LS WKH patty. Allow it to cook and create a nice sear so that the juices do not escape. Depending on thickness, it should take 3-6 minutes on each side for about a medium doneness. If you want to melt cheese, wait until about two minutes before the patty is done, place the cheese on the patty and cover the grill. Once the two minutes pass, the cheese is nicely melted and the burger is done. Step 6. Good quality bun. The burger is only a part of the whole process. A good bun can perfectly complement your burger. I like a fresh Kaiser bun or ciabatta to go with my burger. Step 7. Sit back and enjoy! If you follow these steps, every time, you will consistently make an outstanding burger. I will warn you, however, you might begin to get more requests for barbecues at your house! Bon appetit!

Auto A t Advice Ad i ffrom th the B Beaverton t C Car G Guy One Price Dealerships By Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Car Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Ferguson
T
oday, an ever increasing number of dealerships are using what is called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Price Selling Strategyâ&#x20AC;? including many right here in Beaverton. There are a variety of reasons for this trend but the main cause is our friend, the Internet: highly educated customers using online resources have taken control of the price transaction process. Dealerships usually have nearly all of their New and Used Inventory online, with the exception of recent arrivals. Negotiation used to be the way the dealership made money but nowadays it is the way they lose money. Good for the customer, but not so good for the Dealership. Most people really dislike the negotiation process anyway. They see it as sneaky and non-transparent and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the way they want to buy a car. BeneďŹ ts of purchasing a car from One Price Dealership: 1. The price of the vehicle is clearly posted on the vehicle, which you can view upon arrival or via the internet. This price is the price, there is NO NEGOTIATION. 2. If you have a trade in, you will be given a trade value. The dealership will provide you with the information necessary WR YDOLGDWH WKH ÂżJXUH 7KHUH LV NO Negotiation on the trade in ÂżJXUH 3. You will Deal with only one person, from hello to goodbye, including doing the paperwork and signing the contract etc.

The speediness of the entire transaction is really quite amazing. I have seen people arrive, test drive, have a trade in appraisal performed and be signing paperwork within an hour! Most clients comment that the process was quick, easy, and not as stressful as the conventional type of car deal. 6. A One Price Dealership, is able to have lower pricing for a number of reasons: â&#x20AC;˘ 1 they do not have to employ high salaried master negotiators as managers (because there is no negotiation!). â&#x20AC;˘ +LJKO\ SDLG ÂżQDQFH SHRSOH

On average, One Price Dealerships can complete a sale in less than 2 hours, from hello to goodbye. This results in happier clients and more positive customer satisfaction surveys. In contrast, it is not unusual to spend upwards of 4 hours in a traditional dealerships. 8. One Price Dealerships price their vehicles to accepted market values and this makes the inventory turn over more quickly, resulting in higher Ă&#x20AC;RRULQJ SODQ FUHGLWV DQG IHZHU wholesale losses.

8 year old Alisa asks â&#x20AC;&#x153;what is the hardest thing about being a police ofďŹ cer? What do you like best?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;? A (OfďŹ cer DaNeshia Barkley): I would d have to say the hardest part of my job is the shift work. Police ofďŹ cers work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. On top of our scheduled work shift we sometimes have to stay much later to write reports or cover calls. In addition we get subpoenaed to court and are required to attend training. The more time spent at work, is less time we spend with our families. The thing I love most about my job is meeting all different kinds of people. I meet new people every day and get to learn different cultures. A (Detective Jason Buelt): Alisa, I have been with the Beaverton Police Department for almost 16 years and I am currently assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division as a Detective. The best thing I like about being a Detective/Police OfďŹ cer is working as a team in order to ďŹ nd and catch the criminals. The hardest thing about being a Detective/Police OfďŹ cer is the large investigations that can keep you at work for long periods of time. These types of investigations can interfere with spending time with your family. Thanks for the question Alisa.

Musings M i of a Beaverton Teen Signal To Noise By Ben Moreno
O
n May 14th, I was able to be a part of an amazing ceremony IRU VWXGHQW ÂżOPPDNHUV DFURVV WKH Beaverton School District. Signal To Noise is a night where students from kindergarten through 12th JUDGH FDQ VKRZ RII WKH ÂżOPV DQG games that they worked so hard on all year, either alone or in groups of up to an entire class. Signal to Noise was described by one of the speakers as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Friday night JDPH IRU WKH ÂżOP NLGV ´ DQG WKH feeling matched up one-hundred percent with that description.

JURXS NQRZQ DV WKH 97& Being curious about this opportunity, I decided to go to the meeting, and have since been to every meeting this year in a quest to learn PRUH DQG PRUH DERXW ÂżOP each time. When asking for â&#x20AC;&#x153;More volunteers to run Signal to Noise, it took everything out of me to try to act cool and not shoot my hand up. A few months later I found myself sitting in the sound booth of Sunset Presbyterian Church, watching hundreds of SHRSOH Ă&#x20AC;RRG WKURXJK WKH GRRUV DQG into the main auditorium. Entire classes of elementary schoolers had matching shirts, making lakes of bright yellow and dark blue in the audience, their teachers standing in the aisles and waving their hands trying to quiet the kids down as the lights dimmed.

The speakers began announcing the elementary, middle, and high VFKRRO ÂżQDOLVWV IRU WKH $QLPDWLRQ Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Experimental, Interactive, Music 9LGHR 1HZV 5HSRUW DQG 36$ genres. After all of the elementary winners had received their awards in the form of a trophy made from wood and a small disk with the â&#x20AC;&#x153;S2Nâ&#x20AC;? insignia on the front. By the time each of the winners ÂżOPV KDG EHHQ VKRZQ , DOUHDG\ had a full page of mental notes in
my head, full of things that I learned from watching the ÂżOPV PDGH E\ WKH HOHPHQWDU\ schoolers. By the time the high school winners were being played, I was in pure awe watching what my peers were able to produce. Every winner looked like it had been made by a professional studio, and now I had an entire book full of mental notes by the end of the night that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to spend all summer trying out myself. Seeing everyone smile as their ÂżOPV ZHUH EHLQJ VKRZQ WR VXFK a large audience and as they held the reward that recognized all the sweat and tears that went into this expression of themselves. The idea that really inspired me and made me excited to run the sound and already plan on helping out next year was the

Busy Beavers at Beaverton High Introducing senior Kaitlyn Bolhuis By Hailee Meacham & Laila Mottaghi
T
aking a gap year is becoming an increasingly popular option among todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high school students. Beaverton High School Senior Kaitlyn Bolhuis is following that trend, but spending her year off in an interesting way - she plans to spend nine months living in Belgium as an au pair, or a livein nanny. It was actually one of Bolhuisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friends who brought up the idea of becoming an au pair. Once she started thinking about it, though, she became more enthusiastic about it, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just
thought it was the best idea for me because I love working with kids,â&#x20AC;? commented Bolhuis, who is no stranger to babysitting. Bolhuis chose to go through a reputable agency to make sure that her experience would be safe, and although the process was undoubtedly stressful and expensive, but was incredibly rewarding in the end, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind
of a lot of pressure, but once you ÂżQG D IDPLO\ RU RQFH \RX JHW LQWR that process of matching, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best experience. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really exciting.â&#x20AC;? When sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not working, she intends to explore the city and use Belgium as a base for traveling throughout Europe. While it may sound fantastic, Bolhuis is well aware that her plan comes with more than its fair share of challenges. For one, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t currently speak DQ\ RI %HOJLXPÂśV WKUHH RIÂżFLDO languages, so she will be taking classes while sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there to help bridge the language barrier. For another, the process is a relatively expensive one, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be around $6,000 to $8,000, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve saved up money from working for the past two

This will easily be one of the biggest transitions of her life, especially as she has never travelled overseas before. Despite her apprehensions, however, Bolhuis is overwhelmingly excited for what next year will bring her. When she returns, she intends to enter college and continue her education, but until then, she hopes to â&#x20AC;&#x153;learn more about their culture, learn a new language, and just have a great time and learn a lot about myself,â&#x20AC;? something she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fail to do when challenging herself to new and greater heights as she will do during her gap year.

ompleting a CPR unit with the Beaverton School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Careers program was empowering for Marwa Al Khamees, whose family has a history of high blood pressure and heart disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was immediately less worried knowing CPR because I knew I could take some action if something were to happen,â&#x20AC;? the Beaverton High School senior recalls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew last year that I wanted to share this important skill with others so they could potentially save their own loved ones.â&#x20AC;?

Locall History: Our Town - Our Story L The Beaverton Chautauqua Festival By Ann Koppy, BHSoc Historian
C
hautauqua (roughly pronounced â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;je-taw-kwaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) was a popular national movement that fused education and entertainment. Its origins lie in educational gatherings at Lake Chautauqua, New York in 1874 and organized by businessman Lewis Miller and UHOLJLRXV HGXFDWRU -RKQ +H\O 9LQcent. Their objective: train Sunday school teachers in a pleasant summer setting. The Chautauqua Sunday School Assembly would soon offer its programs to the general public and include lectures on politics, discussions of the social order, home study groups, national
and international musical presentations, and other entertainment. From the 1880s-1920s, it provided cultural events to small towns and urban sites throughout the country. If people couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel to events, the events would come to them.

While in junior high he started writing stories, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until he joined the High Desert Chapter, California Writerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club that he really started to focus on his work.

Self Defence Classes for College Bound Women CLASS Tulen Center is offering two selfdefense classes designed specifically for College Bound Women now through the end of summer. •

At Tulen Center, we teach basic, effective skills which are easy to remember and can be counted on when they are needed. We respect each individual and create an atmosphere of mutual
