THPRD: connecting people, parks and nature A tiny tree grows in Raleigh Park to honor lost infant E\ %LOO (YDQV 7+35'

,

t might be a while before most visitors notice the tiny sequoia that was planted recently at Raleigh Park, but Lois Leonard will see it every time she passes through.

Leonard approached THPRD about planting a tree in memory of her granddaughter, Ruby, who died at birth last June. With the help of THPRD’s Chris Kolodziejczak and Kylie Bayer, her wish was granted. On a wet morning in November, the rain relented and Kolodziejczak placed the young sapling into the hillside. “My sister and I thought that planting a tree in Ruby’s memory would be a wonderful thing to do, to remind us of her and to have a tree here in a public space that is well cared for,� Leonard said. “It’s something people can appreciate, and it’s right in my neighborhood.�

Barely a foot tall, the sequoia was transported to Oregon from California by

her sister, Janet, who had been nurturing a pair of seedlings she acquired through her work. “This particular tree is indigenous to California where my daughter and sister live, and where my father was from,�

Leonard said. “So there’s a lot of family importance attached, too.�

Leonard, a long-time Washington County resident whose kids learned to swim at Raleigh Swim Center, said she still regularly walks through the Raleigh Park grounds. “I love this park,� she said. “There’s a long tradition here.�

Her walks will be more meaningful as the sequoia grows, adding to the park’s natural beauty and, at the same time, providing love and healing.

Though the overwhelming majority of memorial trees and benches are installed posthumously, some patrons choose to honor living individuals for distinguished military service or signiÂżcant milestones.

The service isn’t free. It costs $2,000 for a park bench (and accompanying plaque) and $350 for a tree. That’s enough to pay for materials and compensate the district

Man feared to be Gacy victim found alive

T

he family of 59-year-old Ted Szal hadn’t heard from him in more than 30 years.

They feared the worst. And in the fall of 2011, detectives in Cook County Illinois began looking into the possibility that Szal was a victim of infamous serial killer John Wayne Gacy.

Szal’s race, age and the date of his so-called disappearance in Illinois shared many similarities with Gacy’s 33 victims.

relationship with his family, he decided to leave town. “I drove to O’Hare Airport and threw my keys down a sewer grate so I wouldn’t change my mind and got on an airplane,� he said. “And I’ve had no contact with my family for 35 years.�

Szal headed for Denver and then to Colorado Springs in search of work. “I left with the clothes on my back.

ART of Food Photography

P

hotography is my favorite hobby and I am constantly trying to learn and improve my skills.

Someday I would love to be a professional Wildlife Photographer but until then, I practice on easier subjects like my family and food.

For the cover shot, my family and I went to this great little restaurant called CafĂŠ Murrayhill. It has a wonderful atmosphere inside and outside is a lake with a fountain. If it were summer, a fountain shot would look nice but on this day it was all about food for me.

My husband, Scott, ordered a beautiful Club Panini which had nice contrasting colors that immediately caught my eye. He also ordered a Mirror Pond Pale Ale that when placed in front seemed to me to be the perfect shot. In case anyone is interested, my camera settings

were as such: 50mm, 1/125 Sec at f/4.0, ISO 500. I am very happy with how it turned out and glad that the nice folk at the Beaverton Resource Guide thought so too.

So why do I like taking so many food shots? Well, after moving to Beaverton 2 years ago, I have been busy trying to adjust to our new life with a toddler in tow. In an attempt to still be able to pick up my camera every day, I decided that if I couldn’t go out exploring in the wilderness looking for wildlife, I would photograph our son, other people and things happening in my everyday life.

Of all my stay-at-home mommy chores, cooking is what I love best.

So marrying cooking & photography turned out to be a fun thing.

I do not have a studio set up so I shoot everything in natural light.

My favorite lens to shoot food

with is my Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens. It has a low f stop that is great for shooting in low light. The art part of food photography – and biggest challenge for me - is to take a two dimensional photograph in such a way as to make it look like it has depth, smell and taste. So as you’re looking at some of my other shots and your mouth starts to water, well then that’s a sure sign that I’m getting close to achieving my goal.

Together these studies could result in changes to the county’s Comprehensive Plan, to agreements with service providers, and will hopefully encourage private investment in new jobs, local redevelopment and improved services.

eaverton History Center’s newest on-going display is “A Woman’s Work Is Never Done.�

Pioneer women followed a regular routine for household chores; each month we will feature one day’s duty.

Last month we featured Wednesday’s work.

A Woman’s Work is Never Done Wash on Monday. Iron on Tuesday. Mend on Wednesday. Churn on Thursday. Clean on Friday. Bake on Saturday. Rest on Sunday.

THURSDAY Pioneer women set Thursday aside to churn cream into butter.

Unlike other household responsibilities, however, this task was often done more than weekly. Lack of refrigeration was a problem, so making butter in small amounts of two to four quarts at a time kept it from spoiling. One to 1 ½ quarts of cream yielded one pound of butter. They had several choices in churn styles--dash, cradle, paddle, and barrel, manufactured from wood, tin, stoneware, and glass.

Whichever style was used, the procedure was the same.

Warm milk was set aside to cool to 50 – 60 degrees, allowing cream to rise to the top. When thickened and slightly sour, it was skimmed, drained, churned, washed, and salted. Salt not only DGGHG ņDYRU EXW DOVR NHSW DZD\ maggots and other unwanted pests. The buttermilk that was drained off was used for baking or feeding to pigs.

The thick, lumpy mass was then placed in a mold.

The most familiar process used a standing wooden dash churn, also known as plunger or up and down. It was up to 45� high with the dasher, F\OLQGULFDO LQ VKDSH ZLWK D ŅWted wood cover. The long wooden

plunger was inserted through a hole in the lid and a slow, steady vertical motion was used. Thirty to forty minutes of churning produced enough butter for a few days. Any excess was sold to hotels/restaurants or traded at the town mercantile, perhaps to early Beaverton stores such as CadyAnderson on Broadway Street, whose owners bought from local farmers.

Like churns, molds were made in a variety of shapes and materials. They could be rectangular or square, wooded hinged blocks or round with a removable handgrip.

Each held 1 ½ to 2 pounds. Some were basic, others had intricate GHVLJQV RI ņRZHUV DQLPDOV RU geometric patterns pressed into the wood. Hinged molds had brass hardware and snapped shut; round ones had a handle or plunger that was pressed to form a design.

They were 4� to 6� high and 4� to 5� in diameter. If a mold weren’t used, a butter stamp made of hardwood, glass, or metal was used to press the pattern. Glass and metal had two big advantages: they didn’t produce RII ņDYRUV DQG were easier to clean.

Children’s household chores included helping with the churning. No doubt young people in the Beaverton area recited this traditional chant to help pass the time and

provide regular rhythm: “Come, butter, come Come, butter, come (Child’s name) is standing at the gate Waiting for a butter cake Come, butter, come!�

The rigors of the Oregon Trail were well-known, requiring emigrants to choose supplies carefully. Only one churn was loaded into the Prairie Schooner at the start of the trek; its 40 pound ZHLJKW DGGHG VLJQLĹ…FDQWO\ WR WKH 2,000 pounds allowed per wagon.

Sometimes, it broke or was discarded to lighten the load along the way. To solve the setback, pioneers put aside cream at night.

The next morning, they attached a bucket or leather bag to the wagon tongue. The jolting action during the day produced butter for the evening meal.

Taste, quality, and color of the cream varied regionally.

Cows that grazed on wild onions, garlic, kale, or alfalfa hay often gave milk with unusual and unZDQWHG ņDYRUV %XWWHU PLJKW KDYH a crumbly or grainy texture. In areas where grass was scarce during winter months, the butter was a pale yellow. Women added carrot shavings or juice to give it a robust tint.

Making homemade butter using hand-operated churns changed with technology and materials.

Rural life gave way to urban, electricity became widely available, and large grocery stores began to sell perishable items. Today, the craft of butter making has been transformed by electric mixers and food processors. The result remains the same: tasty, fresh, and ready for baking or spreading on your favorite bread.

Saturday, May 19: Beaverton Historical Society and Leedy Grange in Cedar Mill are planning a delightful afternoon of music by the Old Time Fiddlers, food, and door prizes. Admission is free.

or more than 30 years, Sunshine Pantry has been providing food, clothing, household items, toys and toiletries to families from Beaverton, Oregon.

What started out of the family garage 30 years age has grown to become a place for those in need to make it in stressful times. Sunshine Pantry is a family run nonSURŅW IRRG SDQWU\ LQ %HDYHUWRQ that started when Sharon Straus’s son began a cub scout food drive project. Sharon’s motto is that No Child Should Go to Bed hungry.

And we are all someone’s child.

Sharon ended up in charge of the project and stored the canned goods in her garage until there was enough supplies to donate to 6 needy Washington County families at Christmas time.

Recognizing that hunger is a problem every day and not just around the holidays, Sharon wanted to do more. Sunshine Pantry has fed literally thousands of people from the family garage up until 2008 when they expanded their current operations and moved to a secured warehouse in Beaverton, Oregon.

Sharon tells us that due to these economic times, they are seeing

estination:Spring!

Can you sense it? It’s nearly here. The days are getting longer, bulbs are beginning to blossom, and the last weeks of winter as predicted by Punxsutawney Phil are coming to a close. Yes, at long last, spring is in the air and that usually means two things: Spring break (yeah!) and the return of those dreaded spring allergies (boo!). While spring vacation travel and seasonal allergies may seem like a recipe for disaster, it doesn’t have to be if you plan ahead.

Managing allergies.

The steps you take to manage your seasonal allergies while at home are a good start for keeping allergy symptoms at bay when traveling.

But let’s face it, allergy symptoms can worsen drastically ZKHQ ņ\LQJ or commuting in cramped spaces or visiting destinations where your symptoms are exacerbated. The following guidelines will go a long way in alleviating the effects of seasonal allergies when traveling allowing you more symptom-free time to enjoy your vacation.

Take stock of your medication.

Make sure your allergy prescriptions are up to date and get any UHĹ&#x2026;OOV \RX PD\ QHHG <RX GRQÄŁW ZDQW WR Ĺ&#x2026;QG \RXUVHOI KDYLQJ D WZR squirt allergy attack with only one squirt of Nasonex left in the bottle.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

The low humidity in airplanes can leave you feeling tired, dehydrated and out of sorts on a good day. These symptoms can worsen in people whose allergies are triggered by dust and other air impurities.

By hydrating yourself durLQJ Ĺ&#x2020;LJKW you are maintaining a moist environment for ears, nose and throat tissues thus helping to reduce and relieve allergy symptoms associated with nose congestion and dry, itchy throats.

Manage your environment.

Bring your own pillow or blanket on the plane to avoid reusing an airline supplied one that may have hidden allergens inside.

Not packing your own pillow?

Try bringing your own pillowcase or hypoallergenic cover for use at the hotel or friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house where you are staying. Put it over the

pillowcase provided and it will give you an extra barrier of relief IURP GXVW RU IHDWKHU Ĺ&#x2026;OOHUV :KHQ traveling by auto, vacuum your car before road trips to help clean out pollen and dust mites. Use the DLU FRQGLWLRQLQJ WR Ĺ&#x2026;OWHU RXW GXVW and other pollutants from the environment. If you have the room, EULQJ DORQJ D KXPLGLĹ&#x2026;HU IRU XVH LQ hotel or guest rooms.

Pack an emergency relief kit.

Having a travel-size hand cream at the ready will ensure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re prepared for dry itchy skin that can occur on planes or in dry environments. Non-prescription eye-drops are great for refreshing tired, dry eyes. Saline nose sprays will help clear out congestion and wash away allergies you may have inhaled. Products such as Boogie Wipes and Saline Soothers natural saline nose wipes will help relieve stuffy, runny and otherwise allergy-incensed noses. They also come in travel sizes making them a great solution when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the go.

Seasonal allergies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to limit you when traveling or worse yet, make you avoid heading to your favorite vacation destination altogether. Whether traveling by plane, train or automobile this spring break, it is possible to keep your allergies in check. Plan ahead and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be welcoming the sights, sounds and smells of spring with open arms and a clear head.

Optician: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transitionsâ&#x20AC;?

There are a few companies that offer this type of feature but Transitions is the leader in this technology. It is not a coating that can be applied, but the actual material of the lens. That can only be activated by the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s UV rays. Plus giving you 100% UV protection, they are the perfect sunscreen for your eyes. There are currently three main styles of Transitions lenses: Transitions VI, Transitions XTRActive, and Drivewear. Then a revolutionary new lens called Transitions Vantage is coming in May. The majority of lenses made today are Transitions VI. This version is darker outdoors, very clear indoors, darker in hotter temperature, and fade back faster than previous generation lenses. They are available in gray and brown.

The XTRAactive version is for those folks that want an even darker lens, some activation in a car, and are ok with a slight tint in-

he 2012 season of the Beaverton Civic Theatre opens February 24th when the lights focus on Harvey in the auditorium of the Beaverton City Library. Set in the 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, it is the story of Elwood P. Dowd, an aging man who insists his best friend is Harvey, a six-foot tall, invisible rabbit that accompanies Elwood on nightly escapades to bars and social gatherings.

Veta, Elwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socialite sister eventually grows so weary of his antics that she attempts to commit him to a mental institution. However, her plan falls apart when the doctors become convinced she is covering up for her own condition. Then, the events spiral quickly into a comedy of errors.

T

hrough grant funding from the Cultural Coalition of Washington County (CCWC), the Beaverton Civic Theatre has partnered with the City of Beaverton's Beaverton Cares Program, the Tualatin Valley Gleaners, and the Beaverton Family Resource Center to provide theatre tickets to those who would not otherwise be able to afford to attend the Beaverton Civic Theatre's performances. The CCWC serves as an advisory body to the Board of County Commissioners to promote the cultural identity, quality of life and economic vitality of Washington County and its arts, heritage and humanities organizations.

ag&Baggage Productions is known for presenting Shakespearean plays using additional materials or unique staging to highlight the text or emphasize plot points. The company is continuing the tradition, this time with the staging of Joe Calarcoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly praised adaptation of Romeo and Juliet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s R&J, the winner of the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Special Achievement in Theatre.

The play is set in the claustrophobic environs of a Catholic boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; boarding school. Four young boys, around the age and development stages of Romeo and Juliet â&#x20AC;&#x201C;that is to say, at the awakening of sexual desire and adolescent rebellion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; discover a copy of the banned play, and begin to read it. Reading soon evolves into acting, as the boys discover the spellbinding power of the text to stir inchoate emotions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Discovery is at the center of this play,â&#x20AC;? says guest director Jennifer Dick, a theatre director, actor and writer based in Glasgow, Scotland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo and Ju-

liet discovered each other, and the awakening of libido. Our four naive young students parallel this through discovering the play and beginning to explore adulthood.

And we, as the audience, discover the play freshly, through the eyes and experiences of the students.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joe Calarco developed this work using Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play, and adding bits from A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream and a few Shakespearean sonnets, which is utterly within the Bag&Baggage tradition,â&#x20AC;? says Bag&Baggage artistic director Scott Palmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It ran off-Broadway for a year and has played all over the globe to stellar reviews.

You will often hear the metronome ticking as it keeps repetitive brain activities on track for processing of information.

You may hear music, like Pink Martini or Jack Johnson and if you look in the window,

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see some physical exercises or movements that cross the vertical midline, that when combined with the music, help to organize the brain. Susan &DUUHV D &HUWLĹ&#x2026;HG %UDLQ ,Qstructor who teaches the class says she â&#x20AC;&#x153;often hears people say that the class sounds â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;too hardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but in fact anyone can do it. Just let your brain do what it does best, retrain itself. As I work with the students in my class, and watch them in exercise classes at the Elsie Stuhr Center, they absolutely amaze me. Keeping a positive state of mind has kept them vibrant, socially active and mentally alert.

There is a Guatemalan proverb that says, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Everyone is the age of their heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. And, I am seeing great â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the Elsie Stuhr Center.â&#x20AC;?

pring is here! The days are starting to get a bit longer and we are starting to look for things to do outside our homes.

Fortunately for us, Beaverton has many great volunteer opportunities. There is something for just about everyone.

Want to volunteer but have no idea what you would like to do? Looking to contribute to the ongoing health of your community? Want to join the largest volunteer network for adults age 55 and older? RSVP, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, of Washington County helps match you to just the right volunteer opportunity. RSVP recruits, trains, and places volunteers at agencies throughout Washington County.

Last year 400+ volunteers put in over 50,000 hours.

RSVP works with over 45 local agencies to match volunteers with. American Red Cross, City of Beaverton, Care to Share, libraries, hospitals, museums and schools are just a few of their partners. You can volunteer to prepare food boxes, tutor children or help seniors learn about Medicare.

In addition to matching volunteers to roles in the

community, they have three programs of their own. SKIT, Seniors Keeping in Touch, is a telephone reassurance program where a volunteer calls and checks in with a homebound senior. Normally this is a safety call once a day to make sure the client is safe and does not need any help. Some volunteers and callers also choose to have a more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;in depthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relationship and chat for longer than it takes for the safety check.

The SASIE, Seniors Assisting Seniors In Emergency, program trains seniors how to assemble emergency kits and how to be prepared for a natural or other disaster.

RSVP volunteers demonstrate at-home and togo kits for groups at churches, retirement residences and other groups of people 55 and older.

Talk, Listening and Companionship, TLC, volunteers regularly visit with residents of nursing homes, adult foster care homes, residential care facilities, and assisted living facilities.

This therapeutic resident interaction reduces the isolation and depression experienced by many residents of long term care facilities and provides individual

Huy Nguyen: A Local Resident Making a Difference

Welcome to our third Beaverton Heroes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; highlighting local ResiGHQWV DQG ORFDO QRQ SURĹ&#x2026;WV ZKR are making a difference in the community.

Metro Toy Drive

T

he word that came to my mind after I left the interview with Huy Nguyen, founder and executive director of Metro Toy Drive was INSPIRATIONAL. Metro Toy Drive LV D QRQ SURĹ&#x2026;W RUJDQization that collects donations, toys and books for kids all year round. Huy started off volunteering for other toy drives in 2009 and saw the need to begin Metro Toy Drive and operate all year round instead of during the holiday season. Since 2011, they have broadened their reach and now their main facility is based in a warehouse in Beaverton and toys are distributed to RWKHU QRQ SURĹ&#x2026;WV VXFK DV KRVSLWals, schools, churches as well as children needing toys for birthdays or other personal reasons.

Huy partnered up with Starbucks in Oregon and SW Washington

from November until the end of December to have them be the donation drop off so that it would be easy for anyone to drop off toys at any Starbucks.

Metro Toys accepts all new and unwrapped toys which are then distributed to those families in QHHG RU RWKHU QRQ SURĹ&#x2026;WV LQ QHHG of new toys.

An area that Huy is currently working on for Metro Toy Drive is to feature a Child Hero every month that will have children be more involved in volunteering and giving back. Local children from each town will work on collecting toys and then distributing them to those in need teaching children at a young age the importance of giving back and being of service to your local community.

What really impressed me about Huy was that not only is he so committed to giving children an opportunity to learn and give in the community but also that he has given hope to children

who may not have access to receiving toys from their families.

Who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember growing up what it was like to get a brand new toy that you have always wanted. These are the memories that will last a lifetime.

Besides running a successful QRQ SURĹ&#x2026;W +X\ DOVR LV D IXOO time student at PSU as well as working as a bellman for a hotel in downtown Portland. That is why when I left the interview, I felt so inspired by him.

We can all do more and we FDQ DOO Ĺ&#x2026;QG WKH WLPH , DP H[FLWHG to follow Metro Toy Drive and follow Huy and his Child Heroes and see what the future brings for everyone. I see bright lights ahead for them all.

Donating to Metro Toy Drive (a 501c3) through our secure PayPal account is a simple and convenient way to make a positive impact on the lives of less fortunate children. Contributions of any amount help to provide toys and books to children yearround: birthdays, medical situations, personal loss and holidays.

y youngest is now of an age where we can attend those wonderful â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom and Meâ&#x20AC;? classes that provide toddlers with exposure to activities outside of their family rooms and parents a chance to socialize with other exhausted caretakers. I used to take these classes very seriously many years ago with P\ Ĺ&#x2026;UVW FKLOG IRU , EHOLHYHG her performance in them reĹ&#x2020;HFWHG HYHU\WKLQJ WKDW , ZDV and ever could possibly be as a mother. We would always arrive early, both of us in clean, matching clothes, and I would pray that no meltdowns or misbehavior would occur for the next 30 minutes. The week following class, we would actually practice the songs and work on WKH Ĺ&#x2026;QJHU SOD\V IRU , XQGHUVWRRG that homework was necessary for prime performance.

But now when I arrive to class with my third daughter--typicDOO\ D IHZ PLQXWHV ODWHÄĄ , Ĺ&#x2026;QG myself wishing there were an espresso bar and some sort of takeout menu offered as a bonus for coming. Since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sometimes GLIĹ&#x2026;FXOW WR EH ÄĽSUHVHQWÄŚ ZLWK your child while still ticking off the never-ending to-do list that comes with parenting, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m considering suggesting to the rec center some sort of parent/child Hot Rock Massage that included

full laundry service and Bill Pay to boot. THEN I would roll in that play dough with my 3 yrold and not be preoccupied with calculating how many more Girl Scout cookies we needed to sell or whether oatmeal constituted a nutritious dinner.

Thankfully, though, I no longer worry if my child is a start performer, which enables me to instead focus on more important things--like ensuring she isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t picking her nose or warming her Ĺ&#x2026;QJHUV RQ KHU ERWWRP cheeks, her two newest hobbies. And that allows me to simply enjoy her, observe her, and sing a song or two with her, whether we know the words or QRW %HFDXVH PDWFKLQJ RXWĹ&#x2026;WV are overrated and life gets structured early enough.
