Last Month’s Cover Art By Yoshiko Wong

Message from the Mayor Avoid Tax Scams By Chief Geoff Spalding

T

ax season is upon us and with it comes opportunities for identity thieves. Recently, there has been a large increase in the number of IRS imposter scam reports. These scams generally come in the form of phone calls or emails claiming to be someone from the IRS, or acting on their behalf. They will ask you for personal information, and in some cases actually threaten you with arrest, if you do not pay them immediately. Some scammers will even have your social security number and be able to fake caller ID so it looks as if the

IRS is calling. The most important thing to remember when encountering this type of call or email is that the IRS will not initially initiate contact with you via the telephone or HPDLO WKHLU ¿UVW FRQWDFW ZLOO EH YLD mail. The IRS also won’t ask you to wire money, pay with a prepaid debit card or share your credit card information over the telephone. Additionally, the IRS will not send police to your residence to arrest you without any prior contact. If you receive a call like this, do not give the caller any information and hang up. If you are concerned you might owe the IRS money, you can contact them directly at 800-829-1040 or go to www.irs. gov. If you would like to report the FDOO \RX FDQ ¿OH D FRPSODLQW ZLWK the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at www.tigta.gov or 800-366-4484 or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at www.ftc.gov/complaint or 877-FTC-HELP.

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!

y integrating acupuncture and Oriental medicine into your heart-healthy lifestyle, you can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease by as much as 80 percent. Steps to prevention include managing high blood pressure and cholesterol, eating healthy, maintaining a healthy weight, physical activity, reducing stress, improving sleep quality and smoking cessation--all of which can be helped with acupuncture and Oriental medicine. 1. Manage High Blood Pressure High blood pressure makes the heart work harder, increasing its oxygen demands. It increases the risk of heart attacks, stroke and kidney disease. Acupuncture has been found to be particularly helpful in lowering blood pressure. 2.Reduce Stress Stress is a normal part of life, but if left unmanaged, stress can lead to emotional, psychological and physical problems, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, chest pains, or irregular heartbeats. Numerous studies have

In addition to acupuncture, Oriental medicine offers many tools and techniques that can be integrated into your life to keep stress in check, including exercises, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, meditations and acupressure that you can administer at home. 3. Maintain a Healthy Weight Obesity is associated with diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary artery disease--all of which increase the risk of developing heart disease--but studies have shown that excess body weight can also lead to heart failure. Acupuncture is an excellent adjunctive tool when it comes to losing weight: helping to energize the body, maximize the absorption of nutrients, regulate elimination, control overeating, suppress the appetite and reduce anxiety. 4. Improve Sleep Quality Poor sleep has been linked with high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart failure, heart attacks, stroke, diabetes and obesity. Acupuncture has shown great success treating a wide array of sleep problems without any of the side effects of prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids.

5. If You Smoke, Quit Most people associate cigarette smoking with breathing problems and lung cancer. But did you know that smoking is also a major cause of coronary artery disease? In fact, about 20 percent of all deaths from heart disease are directly related to cigarette smoking. Acupuncture has shown to be an effective treatment for smoking, focusing on jitters, cravings, irritability and restlessness--symptoms that people commonly complain about when they quit.

T

he Promotion Committee for the Beaverton Downtown Association has scheduled dates to meet with storefront businesses located within the historic downtown core (Main to Lombard, and Broadway to 4th). The purpose of the meetings is to share plans and gather input from the business owners to make this 4th season of First Fridays the best one yet. Owners are invited to participate in either one of the two meetings scheduled for February 19 at 8 a.m. at Beaverton Masonic Lodge or February 24 at 5:30 p.m. at Lanphere Enterprises. If you are a new business owner or an owner who has not yet been contacted by a Promotion Committee member, please contact Donna Sanson at donnasansonartworks@comcast. net for details. First Friday dates this year are May 1, June 5, August 7,

September 4, and October 2. Participating businesses extend their hours of operation on these dates and offer special promotions to visitors. First Friday activities in the past have included live music, free hot dogs, Farmers Market vendors, art demos and auctions, Local History Questionnaire and Doggie Dress Up contests, International Food & Dance, Classic Car Shows, Street Yoga Class, and complimentary limo service. It’s a fun way for visitors to discover the many unique businesses that make up this area and to spend an evening dining, shopping, and strolling the streets and avenues of our historic downtown.

Also in Cedar Mill, at 965 NW 93rd Avenue, Roger Tilbury Memorial Park was completed with a nature play area, play equipment, a paved and softsurface trail network, and an open lawn area.

At the park district’s main Howard M. Terpenning Recreation Complex, an ADA parking lot was created as part of a bond project that has carried over into 2015. The parking lot makes the Tualatin Hills Athletic Center and Tualatin Hills Aquatic Center much more accessible to people with disabilities.

At the 28-acre Lowami Hart Woods Natural Area in south Beaverton, more than a halfmile of paved and soft-surface trails, on-site parking, and other amenities were added to enhance visitor enjoyment of the pristine forest environment. The district ¿nished three segments of the Waterhouse Trail. A nearly continuous paved trail now runs from TriMet’s Merlo Road MAX Station north to Bethany, where it connects with the Rock Creek Regional Trail.

New Grocery Store Opens in Beaverton with Over 40,000 Square Feet Introducing Market of Choice By KPTV Staff

A

new 40,000-square-foot grocery store has opened in Beaverton with more than 200 employees. Market of Choice is anchoring the Timberland Town Center at 250 N.W. Lost Springs Terrace in the Cedar Mill neighborhood. The company, based in Eugene, has eight other locations from Ashland to Portland. The new store features a growler station, wine bar and juice bar. Baked goods like artisan breads, cakes and cupcakes are made from scratch in the store and take-away meals are created by inhouse chefs. Store manager Casey Capell said Market of Choice stays true to its name, by offering choices for everyone.

“You can get the organic, the natural, you can get a lot of specialty products, but you can also get your everyday items that you’re looking for,� he said. The Beaverton store, similar to other locations, was built with a number of eco-friendly operating components, including extensive LED lighting, solar tracking skylights and an advanced heating and hot water reclamation system. The store also separates

A popular contemporary novel of the 18th century revived the idea of sapphire changing color based on the wearer’s integrity. The more modern tradition of sapphire engagement rings started in 1776 when Napoleon offered Josephine an engagement ring of a

Car Ti C Tips ffrom th the Beaverton B t Car C Guy G after a few years to reduce the length of the loan.

Get the best deal and understand your loan options

Auto Loan Cons: Long term loans can cost more over the life of the loan because you are paying interest for a longer period. As the car depreciates, you may end up owing more on your loan than the value of the car. This is called negative equity. In many cases consumers have negative equity when they are trading in their current vehicle.

H

ello all: With Spring approaching, and tax refunds in the works, many people are shopping for new or pre-owned vehicles. In most cases people’s needs have changed, or they are searching for better fuel economy. With the price of fuel dropping lately, many consumers are less concerned with fuel economy but more concerned with other features.

Traffic Q&A:

By BPD Staff

With the Beaverton Police Department

Q:

Are all traffic laws the same throughg out Oregon or can Beaverton have special rules that may not apply y to Tigard for example? A: Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) S) are state laws that are enforceable anywhere in Oregon. Many cities also have City Codes that are enforceable in that city but not in others. For example, many cities enforce cutting across the street not at an intersection (Jay Walk) under city code. Beaverton, like other cities, also has a City Code that states you cannot drive through a private business to avoid having to wait for red light. So if you want to make a right turn at the upcoming intersection and you decide to drive through a parking lot on the corner to avoid having to wait, in Beaverton that could cost you $205.

Q:

Does the open container law pertain to all beverages or just alcoholic beverages?

A: ORS 811.170 Violation of Open Container law, refers only to Alcoholic liquor.

Q:

If you come to a light that has a red right hand turn arrow but no posted sign, is it okay to still turn after stopping or does it mean no turning until the light changes? A: It is okay to make a right turn at a red arrow (ORS 811.260: Appropriate driver responses to traffic control devices subsection (8) Steady red arrow signal). The vehicle shall remain stopped until a green light is shown except when the driver is permitted to make a turn under ORS 811.360: When vehicle turn permitted at stop light. The driver of a vehicle who is intending to turn at an intersection where there is a traffic control device showing a steady red arrow signal may do any of the following without violating ORS 811.260 and 811.265: (a) Make a right turn into a two-way street. (b) Make a right or left turn into a one-way street in the direction of traffic upon the one-way street. If you have a traffic question that you'd like us to ask the Beaverton Police Department for this column, email us at: BRG@cedarhousemedia.com (For all other police questions, call the police non-emergency number: 503-526-2260)

but it will depend on city/county approval and whether or not light poles on any particular street can accommodate a banner posting Typically a banner will be displayed for a minimum of one year but other factors may play a role in when it is taken down such as how well the banner weathers the elements and how long a person is in the military. The city maintains sole discretion on why and when a banner is removed. A replica of the full size banner will be given to the requesting party or recipient at the time of order or when the banner is taken down. This program has meant so much to so many people. The loved one of an honoree wrote, “Our family also want to thank you for honoring and recognizing our “Sons of Beaverton” for their service to our country. We have sent photos of the banner installations

to our families and friends across the country – and the response has been overwhelming and heartfelt. It is a wonderful feeling to drive down Murray and see all of the banners of active duty soldiers”. The program began with seed money from the City, however its long-term success will depend upon community support through business donations and sponsorships. The number of applications approved for banners will be limited by the availability of funds.

If you would like to donate to the cause you can send a check to the Military Banner Program C/O Beaverton Police PO Box 4755 Beaverton, Oregon 97076. More information can be obtained at www.beavertonoregon.gov/ militarybannerprogram.

Musings M i of a Beaverton Teen Your world isn’t over, it’s just getting bigger By Ben Moreno

H

ave you ever heard a kid in middle or high school cry over breaking up with their boy/ girlfriend, or losing a pet. Their reaction is made up of a waterfall of tears and the obligatory “MY LIFE IS OVER� speech, followed by a disgruntled *sigh* from the parent. Most families have been through this kind of situation with children of all ages, not just teens. Whether it’s the 10 year olds favorite toy accidentally being sold at a garage sale, or the high schoolers date “cheating� on them, the ‘my life is over’ cry has been cried much too often. Younger children generally have a hard time feeling “loss� as a passing event, doubting that it will

ever heal with time. Older teenagers however, while also having dif¿FXOW\ UHDOL]LQJ WKH KHDOLQJ SRZHU of time, they at least have sense that the healing process has begun. Parents and adults in general often have a hard time understanding the kids’ point of view. Each person involved has a hard time understanding the feelings of the other party. When you’re a child, it’s hard to grasp just how big the world is. In your head, your whole world could simply revolve around your toys or favorite tv show. Psychologically speaking, young children between the ages of two and seven are unable to grasp logical thought, and often have a case of egocentrism. This is just because their brain is not fully developed yet, and is still in the Preoperational stage, according to Piagets stages of human development. Due to their brains not being fully developed, they will often ask a ton of questions in a subconscious

attempt to make up for the lack of experience in this world. This lack of experience actually causes their world to be much smaller, and revolve around what few important things in their life they can comprehend, such as a favorite toy. When that toy is lost or sold, it is a very large part of their life that is taken away. The toy that became a part of their daily life is now gone, leaving an empty space in the child’s life, much like the feelings of a teenager when ending a relationship. Similar to when a young child loses a toy, the common teenager will often express the same “MY LIFE IS OVER!!� feelings after ending a long relationship (3 weeks or more). From the outside, it of course doesn’t seem like such a big deal. It’s just high school, right? But for that teenager, it very well could have been their whole, or at least a big part of, their world. By now the teenager is well passed the Preoperational stage of human development. However,

that does not mean that losing this big part of their life is any less sigQLÂżFDQW -XVW OLNH WKH FKLOG JURZV into a routine of always playing with their favorite toy before having it taken away from them, the teenager falls into a similar routine. They see or at least talk to this same person everyday, daydream about them, write stories in their head and grow attatched. Then when that routine is shattered, and their person is no longer there for them, they are left with that similar void that is left behind after the loss. This is not written to say that those “end of the worldâ€? feelings DUHQÂśW MXVWLÂżHG /RVV LV SRVVLEO\ RQH RI WKH PRVW LQĂ€XHQWLDO IHHOLQJV there is. But what people my age often forget during these emotional Ă€RRGV LV WKDW ZKHQ \RX KHDU VRPHone say that it’s not the end of the world... they’re right. It just feels like their whole world has just been ripped from them. But as you grow older, your world gets bigger. It’s continuously

growing and it never stops. When you’re in high school and have to end a relationship with your partner or even sever ties with a good friend, you’re really only a year or two away from the size of your world doubling. It’s okay to mourn the loss, but the best thing you can do after the mourning is to realize that your world isn’t over. It’s just getting bigger.

Not only did she have to face the hardships of being separated from her family, but she also had to keep up with the lively schedule the Spanish have: “In the middle of the day we have our main meal and then everyone is active at night.

eggy J. Swafford was born in the town of Hood River, Oregon, where she learned to play the violin, ride horses and to treasure all animals. Peggy spent 29 years teaching string music in the Beaverton School System while becoming Music Coordinator for the district. When she retired in 1989, there were approximately 700 elementary students playing violin and other string instruments. Peggy’s family home was on the north side of Mt. Hood high up in the valley.

Beaverton Education Foundation A Publishing Journey in Creative Writing By BEF Staff

S

unset High School Creative Writing students completed their publishing journey in January at the Independent Publishing Resource Center, where they completed their books and emerged as published authors. Students were involved in all aspects of publishing the hardbound book, from the writing process, to formatting their work for publication, screen-printing, and binding — they did it all. The authors had the opportunity to use a binding machine, take part in screen-printing and button making workshops (a huge hit), and joinLQJ WRJHWKHU LQ WKH HQG IRU UHÀHFtion and to hear a reading from professional poets Mindy Nettifee and Brian Ellis (also a huge hit). In the end, the students stood proudly with books in hand, hot off the press.

Reecting on the experience, both students and the teacher share their insight on developing creativity: “This class has been my favorite class of my entire high school experience. It has sparked a need to write that I didn’t even know I was capable of holding. I am so proud of the book I have been able to walk away with.â€? – Carly, Senior “This experience and this class made me realize that everyone, in every way, has the ability to be creative, and to make something from that creativity. It is hard to realize that this class has come to an end, but our creativity will last a lifetime.â€? – Edlyn, Sophomore “I think this process was the

most fun I have ever had in a class. It has changed my views on writing forever.� – Chandler, Senior “I was fascinated by the print making process, and I have learned the true passion that it takes to write. This class, this teacher, these people are absolutely incredible.� – Eric, Junior “In all, the experience, it’s highs and lows, peaks and valleys, moments of both discouragement and triumph – has been the most enriching experience I have ever had as a teacher. Thank you, Beaverton Education Foundation, for making this uniquely meaningful opportunity possible.� – Christopher Marshall, Teacher

Synopsis: The scene is the lobby of a rundown hotel so seedy that it has lost the “eâ€? from its marquee. As the action unfolds, the residents, ranging from young to old, from the deďŹ ant to the resigned, meet and talk and interact with each other during the course of one day. The drama is of passing events in their lives, of everyday encounters and of the human comedy, with conversations often overlapping into a contrapuntal musical ow. In the resulting mosaic each character emerges clearly and perceptively deďŹ ned, and the sum total of what they are - or wish they were - becomes a poignant, powerful call to America to recover lost values and to restore itself in its own and the world’s eyes. 30 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 5–Issue 3 (March 2015)

Synopsis: The play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the place where the family assembled daily for breakfast and dinner and for any and all special occasions. The action is a mosaic of interrelated scenes -- some funny, some touching, some rueful -- which, taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species: the upper-middle -class WASP. the varied scenes coalesce, ultimately, into a theatrical experience of exceptional range, compassionate humor and abundant humanity.

Later in the day, I received a call from James telling me they found the problem, but a part could not be in until later that night and the car would be done Saturday afternoon. I received a 3rd call Saturday AM from James telling me it’d be 3pm that day.
