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. This publication is our way of 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 as reected by our 80%+ readership rate each month since Jan. 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 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 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 stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

DIY Air Conditioner Maintenance By Handyman Bob Strong

T

emperatures may soon be heading north of TOO HOT! We’ll all be running our air conditioners 24/7 in an attempt to stay cool and that means we better check to make sure they can handle the load. So, what can we do as homeowners and Do-It-Yourselfers? Make sure the IXUQDFH ¿OWHU LV FOHDQ PDNH VXUH the outside fan unit is free from shrubs and weeds, and make sure the condensate is actually draining to the outside. That’s about all we can do for ourselves. Let’s quickly review how an air conditioner works, so you’ll understand why those three things are so important. The A/C system is a closed loop, made up of tubing that circulates refrigerant, along with a compressor and a couple of fans. Outside your house is a metal housing with a fan, a compressor and a coil of tubing with refrigerant in it. The tubing is a continuous loop that comes from and returns to another coil attached to the furnace inside your house or maybe it’s in the attic or basement

or garage. The whole system is really a heat exchanger. By manipulating the pressure of the refrigerant in the tubing, the manufacturer causes the coils in the furnace unit to be very cold, somewhere in the 30 degree range. So, here’s what happens when you turn the A/C on and set your thermostat below the existing room temperature. The outside fan comes on, the compressor begins to operate, and the furnace blower comes on, circulating air in your home. As this circulating air passes across the cooling coils, heat energy is exchanged, leaving cooler air to return to the house. The refrigerant, now warmed by the heat exchange, continues to the outside coils where the outside fan helps to cool it down and the process continues until the air in the house reaches the desired

temperature and the system shuts off. A typical system is designed to reduce the ambient temperature by about 20 degrees, so on a 95 degree day, your system should be able to keep your home at about 75 degrees. Air conditioners perform another function that increases our comfort; they remove most of the humidity from the air. Think about what happens on the outside of a glass of iced tea in the summer; moisture forms and drips onto the table. That’s water vapor in the air condensing into a liquid and that’s exactly what happens in an air conditioner. The moist air, leaving your home and passing across the chilled coils in the furnace, condenses and drips into a drip pan. The collected water then drains through a pipe to the outside or, if your furnace is below ground OHYHO LW ÀRZV LQWR D ÀRRU GUDLQ RU condensate pump that pumps it to the outside. Now, let’s tie it all together. If WKH IXUQDFH ¿OWHU LV GLUW\ DLU ÀRZ LV restricted, so you won’t get all the cool air into the house that you expect. Also, restricted air can result in

the cooling coils freezing up, which is really hard on the equipment. If shrubs and weeds are allowed to block the outside fan unit, it can’t draw in enough air to properly exchange the heat from the system. $QG ¿QDOO\ LI WKH FRQGHQVDWH LVQœW ¿QGLQJ LWV ZD\ WR WKH RXWVLGH that means it’s staying somewhere in your home – in the attic, in the basement, in the crawl space, or in the garage – and you don’t want water in any of those places. So, be sure to add these three things to your honey-do list: 1. &KHFN WKH IXUQDFH ¿OWHU DQG change it if necessary. 2. Check to make sure the outside unit is free of weeds and shrubs. 3. Check to make sure the condensate is draining outside your home.

Food for Thought

Dialing it Down, Quieting Your Mind By Celia Lambert, PhD

A

merican writer Max Ehrmann (1872–1945) wrote the prose poem “Desiderata� in 1927l. In 1956, the Reverend Frederick Kates, rector of Saint Paul’s Church in Baltimore, Maryland, included Desiderata in a compilation of devotional materials for his congregation. The compilation included the church’s foundation date: “Old Saint Paul’s Church, Baltimore AD 1692�. Consequently, the date of the text’s authorship was (and still is) widely mistaken as 1692, the year of the church’s foundation.

It begins: “Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.� Today, we call this meditation, dialing it down, quieting your mind. So much of what Ehrmann wrote in 1927 holds true today. It continues and encourages us to be fair with everyone and to take the time to listen, as long as your not compromising your own values. He tells us to avoid people who are “loud and aggressive� because they will unwittingly cause you to become annoyed, frustrated or

worried. Don’t compare yourself to others. There will always be people who can achieve more and those who will achieve less. The comparisons serve no purpose and actually may cause you grief. Mankind is good but do be EHZDUH RI WKRVH ZKR WU\ WR SUR¿W from your weakness. Be yourself, do not be cynical about love because it always comes around again if you allow it. The years will come and go, some are more gentle than others. Your true strength is within you it is your spirit. Be kind to yourself,

work at being happy, sometimes it’s simply a choice.

Zoo Gets $244K ‘Challenge Grant’ To Expand Education Efforts By Oregon Zoo Staff

ant to help inspire the next generation of conservation leaders? The Oregon Zoo is endeavoring to do just that, and right now a gift to the zoo foundation’s education campaign can have a greater impact. The campaign — which aims to raise $1.5 million toward expanding the zoo’s education programs and resources — got a huge boost recently from the M. J. Murdock Charitable Trust, which announced it will award a $244,000 “top-off grant� after the Oregon Zoo Foundation raises

www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

another $435,891, thus completing its fundraising effort. “We hope this grant inspires others to join us in creating a HGXFDWLRQ KXE WKDW ZLOO EHQHÂżW RXU community for generations,â€? said Paula Little, OZF’s interim director. “The $244,000 comes as a ‘top off’ and will be awarded once that amount is all we need to complete the campaign. Right now, every donation at every level gets us one step closer to receiving that grant and reaching our goal.â€? As walls go up on the new conservation education center, set to open in spring 2017, the zoo

foundation is raising support to provide enhancements such as technology in the classrooms, an expanded space for teen volunteers and interns, and additional staff to foster conservation action. The $1.5 million campaign will also help extend the zoo’s outreach efforts in the Portland metro

area, bringing the zoo to children who may not be able to visit. “Our new education center will be a premier learning and conservation resource,� said the zoo’s education curator, Grant Spickelmier. “However, the building alone will not protect wildlife. Gifts to the campaign will enhance the center and provide tools needed to help future conservationists take action on behalf of the natural world.� To make a gift or learn more, call 503-220-5707 or visit oregonzoo.org/ support-education.

THPRD aaFinalist Award for for Parks Excellence THPRD Finalistfor forNational National‘Gold ‘GoldMedal‘ Medal’ Award Parks Excellence by Bill Evans By Bill Evans

T

HPRD has been selected as a Âżnalist for the coveted 2016 National Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Park and Recreation Management. The award is presented annually by the American Academy for Park and Recreation Administration, in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association. Founded in 1965, the Gold Medal program honors communities that demonstrate excellence in parks and recreation through long-range planning, resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development and agency recognition. Applicants are judged on their ability to address the needs of those they serve through the collective energies of citizens,

staff and elected ofÂżcials. “It’s a great honor to be a Âżnalist for the Gold Medal,â€? said THPRD General Manager Doug Menke. “It demonstrates that we are serving the community’s interests and improving the quality of life for our residents in the Beaverton area.â€? Gold Medal applicants are separated into seven classes – Âżve based on population, one for armed forces recreation, and the other for state park systems. THPRD is in Class II (for agencies that serve 150,000 to 400,000 residents). The other Class II Âżnalists are the Arlington (Texas) Parks and Recreation Department; Cary (N.C.) Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources; and Grand Prairie (Texas) Park, Arts and Recreation. THPRD submitted its Gold Medal application in March, providing a series of quantitative data about district resources (miles of trails, park acreage, sports

longer. It was a morale boost to see the comprehensive list of programs we offer that are having a positive impact.� A panel of five park and recreation professionals reviews all application materials. The judges are chosen for their considerable experience and knowledge in parks and recreation on both the local and national levels. Gold Medal Award winners will be announced at the 2016 NRPA Annual Conference in St. Louis Oct. 5-10. At its Elsie Stuhr Center near downtown Beaverton, THPRD provides dozens of ſtness classes each week to patrons 55 years and up. The popular classes are consistent with the health and wellness pillar that the National Recreation and Park Association requires of Gold Medal applicants. NRPA’s other pillars are conservation and social equity.

¿elds, etc.) and answering nine essay questions about key areas of operation, including programs that support the NRPA’s three pillars of community impact: Health & Wellness, Conservation and Social Equity.

“The process was illuminating,� said Deb Schoen, THPRD’s interim superintendent of Sports, who led the nomination process. “As we prepared our answers, the list of programs that deserved a mention kept getting

If you are travelling along a 2 lane a e road (with a median lane) and d a truck/auto moves into the median n lane but does not signal whether orr not they are turning left or right, are e you free to continue in your own lane and go past the truck/vehicle or should you stop? A: A “medianâ€? lane, or “Center left turn laneâ€? is an area of refuge used for vehicles turning into or out of a driveway. A vehicle may not use this lane as a lane of travel. It is to be used as a safe place to turn into or out of. If a vehicle is stopped in this lane it is the stopped vehicles drivers responsibility to yield the right of way before crossing trafďŹ c or merging into trafďŹ c.

Q:

After an accident, who pays for the clean-up of the road or for broken public property like a tree or light pole? A: Typical road or vehicle debris after a collision is normally cleaned up by responding tow companies. Major cleanup that may require additional personnel under extreme conditions would be billed to the offenders insurance company. Same holds true for damage to trees and or other public property in that a claim would be ďŹ led against his/her insurance company.

How are posted speed limits determined because they seem inconsistent throughout the city?

If you have a question for the Beaverton Car Guy, email popslcf3@hotmail. com or call 503-930-1493 Larry’s specialty is locating cars, even hard to ďŹ nd cars, for everyday folk. He has been in the automotive industry for over 35 years and has several degrees in automotive technology.

A: There are a multitude of factors that are taken into consideration. How the street is classiďŹ ed whether it is a residential street, collector or arterial. The geography of the street such as grade, curves, width, number of businesses or driveways. A speed study may be done if needed and if it is a county road or state Highway, they will have some say. Hall Blvd. is a good example in that it is 40 mph in some areas and 20 in others.

Raleigh Hills Business Association Proudly announces our new Chair, Marie Morris

Marie Morris, founder of Beyond 18, LLC based in Portland Oregon, believes there are many choices for the post high school years - some not always readily apparent. Finding the “right” college is all about fit: academically, socially and financially. And that looks different for every student. The goal of Beyond 18 is to partner with families in the Portland, Oregon area to maximize choices post high school. The unique individual approach aims to bring out the fullest potential in students, whether it is finding the right-fit college, gap year experience, or vocational program. Careful and thoughtful planning creates a wise investment in your young adult’s future.

About RHBA Marie is vested in our businesses and community, living and working Raleigh Hills. She is eager to continue supporting RHBA’s presence and has agreed to be our Chair for the next 2 years.

Book Group discussion

Free Foreign Film Night Fri., June 17 at 7:30 pm (doors open at 7 pm). This month’s “Free Foreign Film Night” is “Wondrous Boccaccio” from Italy. Directed by the Taviani brothers. 120 minutes. Synopsis: Set against the backdrop of a 14th century, black plague-stricken Florence, ten young men and women escape to a country estate where they spend their days telling stories of love, fate, and resurrection. From legendary Italian filmmaking brothers Paolo and Vittorio Taviani, directors of the Palme d’Or winning Fiorile and Golden Bear award-winning Caesar Must Die, Wondrous Boccaccio is a visual and poetic tribute to the stories that emerged from one of the darkest periods in Italian history, and the imaginations that quietly fueled them.

Out & About | W hat’s Happeni ng A round B eaverton This Month?

ABOUT THE SHOW: This summer the Experience Theatre Project will be staging our first play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, at the Round in Beaverton. This production will be offered free to the public. The production will include original music, live musicians (harp and flute), professional dancers, and enthusiastic children who enroll in our theater’s summer fairy camp - who will get the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience for the very first time! The production opens June 24 and runs at the Round at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., through July 10.

$1000 Grant Awesome Hour Reception

THE STORY: The play concerns the misadventures and musings of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet who are childhood friends of the prince, focusing on their actions with the events of Hamlet as background. Hamlet, however, mocks them derisively and outwits them, so that they, rather than he, are executed in the end. Thus, from Rosencrantz’s and Guildenstern’s perspective, the action in Hamlet is largely nonsensical and comical.

A reception to honor the summer $1000 Awesome grant winner, from 7 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21, at the Market of Choice, 250 NW Lost Springs Terrace, Cedar Mill. Come learn how YOU can help the project be realized. For more information, visit www. awesomefoundation.org/en/ chapters/beaverton
