Harbinger of Spring (by Bob Wayt)

Cover Photo

Volume 6 | Issue 3 | March 2016

Daffodils! The emergence of these bright flowers is always a welcome harbinger of the coming spring. Beaverton resident Bob Wayt spotted the “daffies” in his neighborhood and went out one early March morning before work to catch them in low-angle light. Wayt, who works for THPRD, is a passionate nature and landscape photographer on the side.

dentity theft and fraud crimes are on the rise, especially during tax season. One of the methods that thieves and scammers use to steal your personal information is by going through recycling and garbage cans for sensitive information that has been thrown away. For this reason, the Beaverton Police Department recommends and encourages citizens to use a shredder (preferably cross-cut) for sensitive documents, such as FUHGLW FDUG VWDWHPHQWV ÂżQDQFLDO statements, pre-approved credit card offers, old IRS tax forms,

bank checks, household bills, and any other documents that may contain personal information. Every other month the Beaverton Police Department sponsors document shredding events at the Sunset Presbyterian Church, located at 14986 Northwest Cornell Road, from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. There is a limit of three boxes per vehicle and anything larger than a staple or paper clip should be removed from the documents. 6HUYLFH ZLOO EH RQ D ¿UVW FRPH ¿UVW VHUYHG EDVLV DQG OLPLWHG WR WKH capacity of the two commercialsized trucks which are donated to these events by Shred-It Document Destruction Services. This event is not for business documents; it is only for personal documents which contain information that if thrown out, could lead to identity theft. The 2016 event dates are as follows: 2/27, 4/23, 6/11, 8/13, 10/8, and 12/10. Dates are subject to change so please visit the calendar on the Beaverton Police website for the most up to date information. The shredding events are free, however, participants are encouraged to donate canned food which will go to the Oregon Food Bank.

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!

Remembering Beaverton 100 Years Ago Sponsored by the Beaverton Library Foundation

Excerpts from The Owl, Beaverton’s First Newspaper

March 8,

1913

If you’ve got some “fat“ livestock, bring them to the new market on Broadway Street. Mr. Huston has “choice meat at tthe right prices.“

The passing of our firstt school teacher at age 87. Mrs. Watts arrived in Beaverton back in 1851 by way of clipper ship!

In 1913, a good Beavertton citizen was one who ccould work a “grub hoe”, a device that is used to remove tree stumps... I think.

www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

Not feeling well ell el this winter? Try ry y one of these good d old fashioned remedies.

100 years ago, there were no movies or TVs or shopping malls so where was all the action? Head on n out to the Grange. ge. It’s “Big Time“!

While camas is edible and nutritious, it occasionally grows with species of Toxicoscordion which have similar bulbs but are extremely poisonous. In addition to being used ornamentally and as a food source, this native is also wonderful for attracting wildlife. Deer, elk, and moose all graze through camas ¿HOGV *URXQG GZHOOHUV VXFK DV gophers eat the bulbs, and herbivorous insects eat the leaves.

Just before the end of the year, Metro added a new section to their Garbage and Recycling page under the Tools For Living portion of their website. It’s entitled Asbestos information for all Metro transfer station customers. It starts off by explaining that “To protect the health and safety of its employees and customers, Metro’s transfer stations are requiring new documentation about asbestos from all customers.â€?

Lura Longmire is the owner and founder of Luralu’s Dark Bark: A Healthier Craving. A few years ago she was diagnosed with numerous spinal issues. After her disability was diagnosed, she felt sad and lost. But Lura couldn’t just give up, she HAD to do something! So earlier this year, Lura grew tired of being guilty for her candy cravings. She realized that while other brands were advertising a “healthy candyâ€?, when you looked at the ingredients they were QRW 7KH\ ZHUH ÂżOOHG ZLWK WKLQJV like high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils. She created her confections with this in mind. “My dream is to not only bring a healthier candy choice to the masses, but I will bring something greater...happiness.

The new half-mile trail segment allows neighbors unfettered access to the beautiful forested area atop Mount Williams. “We had this chunk of an island, Mount Williams, this awesome forest,� explained Scott Wagner, the park ranger who blazed the district’s newest trail. “There were informal trails people were using, but with the development of the Westside Trail, we wanted to connect Thornbrook Park.� www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

The biggest challenge, he said, was anticipating drainage issues. “In designing this, I’m thinking about movement to create natural drain dips,â€? he said. “It dips down, it bounces up.

These demands vary from routine demands, such as responding to the pressures of school, your family, and other daily responsibilities,

sudden negative [demands] such as responding to the loss of friend or family member, the divorce of one’s parents, or being struck by an illness, and trauma-based demands such one’s reaction before, during, and after experiencing “a major accident, [an] assault, or a natural disaster where one may be seriously hurt or in danger of being killed� (NIMH). Not all stress is necessarily bad, as some stress can serve as motivation to improve certain aspects of

one’s life. This positive stress is known as eustress, and it empowers one to do better. Negative stress is distress- it uses up your energy, exhausting you by making you feel overwhelmed. Distress causes you to be irritable and experience physical symptoms such as a reddening of your face, shaking, a tightening of your chest, the development of perspiration, a headache, dizziness, a dry mouth, a stomach ache, and a muscle twitch or ache. You can also experience breakouts, weight gain, weight loss, develop an anxiety disorder, depression, be more susceptible to illness, and suffer from an inability to sleep.

Injuries from Falling are Preventable TVF&R offers safety tips to limit hazards, avoid falls By TVFR Staff

As people grow older, the consequences of a fall grow more serious. nintentional falls are the leading cause of injury deaths for adults ages 65 and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries and account for more than 95 percent of hip fractures. In addition, fractures from falls are a leading cause of disability and often result in entering a nursing home. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue

In addition, problems with glare, depth perception, tiredness or dizziness from prescription medications contribute to falls.� Research conducted by Yale University showed that older adults are also most at risk of falling when they fail to use handrails on stairs, reach for objects overhead, and climb on chairs or ladders.

Vehicle Purchasing With Tax Return Money! By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Beaverton Readers. Thank You for the phone calls and the emails. I am always very pleased to answer any questions. Vehicle Purchasing With Tax Return Money ! I have found that it isn’t the wisest choice to put a ton of cash down on a vehicle purchase, unless you are doing so to hit a payment goal. With todays interest rates as low as they are, the monthly installments are as low as they have been for quite some time. For every $1000 dollars in cash that you put down on your vehicle purchase, it will reduce your monthly payment by approximately $17$20 per thousand borrowed on a 5 year installment contract. My thought is that the money better serves you by having it in the bank in the event it is needed for other uses such as vehicle maintenance, routine services, or a set of tires. If the payment is higher than you had hoped, your dealer or broker can seek extended term ¿QDQFLQJ VXFK DV D 0RQWK RU PRQWK ¿QDQFLQJ ,Q 2UHJRQ there is no pre-payment penalty so you are able to pay an extra amount with your payment at any time you wish. You must however make at least the payment amount agreed upon every month even if you have paid extra the previous month. When people start receiving income tax refunds, many think

about using that money to put towards a new or used car. Here are three things to keep in mind if you’re buying or leasing a car at this time. 1. Tax return season is one of the busiest times of the year in the retail automobile industry. If \RX KDYH D VSHFL¿F YHKLFOH LQ mind, act quickly, or you may ¿QG WKDW LW JHWV VROG EHIRUH \RX know it. 2. Prices are always higher at this time of year. You will pay a premium, especially for Used Cars, This is because wholesale supplies are low at this time of year, since dealers increase inventory to meet expected demand. If you don’t need a new vehicle right now, you may be wise to hold off until the market calms down, usually beginning in May. 3. Just because you have a pocket full of cash doesn’t mean you have to spend all of it right now. Think about car loan payments, maintenance and insurance costs down the road for the vehicle you choose. As always, purchasing a

vehicle is a major expense so don’t let your emotions rule the day. Keep a clear head and let logic guide your decisions. In some cases people are visual purchasers. I have seen cases where buyers purchased a vehicle based on how it looks instead of how it operates. It is a good idea to research using known reliable sources such as &RQVXPHU 5HSRUWV ZKLFK , ¿QG more fact based information than other opinionated or ad based sources. Please feel free to contact me with any automotive questions or concerns you may have. Whether you are buying, selling or leasing a vehicle - or having service or repair work done - I am here to help. Thank You very much for reading.

ach year hundreds of thousands of older people in our country are abused, neglected, and exploited. Victims are often vulnerable and dependent on others for their basic needs.

Applying those statistics, Beaverton may have 570-1020 current victims. Reporting is often limited due to fear of retaliation, or the physical or cognitive inability to report.

Preventing Elder Scams Know the signs By Regina Ford

I

f a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is! This is just one of six signs of a scam or fraud listed in a warning page issued by Ellen Rosenblum, the Oregon Attorney General. Following are the Six Signs It Is a Scam: 1. Scammers contact you out of the blue. They pretend to be from the IRS, or a debt collection agency. They tell you that you must pay them now or risk prosecution. 2. Scammers claim there is an emergency. They tell you that you have to claim your prize right away or they say a relative needs you to wire them money immediately. 3. Scammers ask for your

personal information. They pose as the government, your bank, or a healthcare provider. If anyone asks you for your personal information like your social security number or bank account numbers over the phone—hang up! 4. Scammers ask you to wire money or buy pre-paid debit cards. This is the easiest way for them to get your money. Scammers also may tell you that they need your information to switch your credit card to the new “chip” type. Not true. Don’t fall for it. 5. Scammers tell you to keep it a secret. They don’t want you to discuss your transaction because your relatives and friends would question it and intervene. Check with people you trust before acting on a deal.

6. If it sounds too good to be true—it probably is. It is always better to be cautious than to be a victim. Our Washington County District Attorney, Bob Hermann, prosecutes cases of fraud and elder abuse. If you or someone you know has fallen prey to a scammer, you can call the Consumer Complaint Hotline at 1-877-877-9392. To report elder abuse or neglect, call 1-855-503-SAFE (7233). If a person is at immediate physical risk, call 911.

Hardiness, the Key to Thriving Under Stress By Celia Lambert, PhD

R

esearch shows hardiness is the key to not only surviving but also thriving under stress. Hardiness enhances performance, leadership, conduct, stamina, mood and both physical and mental health. Hardiness, also referred to as psychological hardiness, is a SHUVRQDOLW\ VW\OH ¿UVW LQWURGXFHG by Suzanne C. Kobasa in 1979. Kobasa described a pattern of personality characteristics that distinguished managers and executives who remained healthy under life’s stressors. Salvatore Maddi who studied with Kobasa, later founded the Hardiness Research Lab at the University of California Irvine. He dedicated his life to understanding why some people thrived while others became ill when exposed to the same stressors. He concluded that those who embrace rather than avoid stress can then adapt. They will learn and grow from challenging experiences rather than develop a variety of health problems. It is a well know fact that the body releases adrenaline in

response to a stressor. It is not as well know that the body also releases stress-recovery hormones, including DHEA and nerve growth factor, both of which increase neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is also known as brain plasticity, which is an umbrella term that describes lasting change to the brain. In other words, these hormones can help your brain learn from experience. For several hours after you have a strong stress response, the brain is rewiring itself to remember and learn from the experience. Stress leaves an imprint on your brain that prepares you to handle

Beaverton Man Stops Suspect from Grabbing Girl By KPTV Staff

A

Beaverton man is credited with stopping a suspect who was grabbing a girl near a local park. Police said it happened in the middle of the afternoon on a path near Southwest Davis Road and 160th Avenue, across from Powerline Park. Robert Deputy was walking with his family when he noticed 23-year-old Dakota Vernon. Right away, Deputy said he got a strange vibe so he kept a close eye on Vernon. Deputy felt like Vernon was following them, so he called 911. And just as he was talking to a dispatcher, he says Vernon switched his focus to a 15-yearold girl and grabbed her. “I seen him run up and grab her right behind the waist,â€? said Deputy. “It was pretty violent. 6KH ZHQW OHIW WR ULJKW DW ÂżUVW 7KH backpack went up, she screamed.â€? Deputy said he yelled at Vernon to stop. The girl ran off and Deputy ordered Vernon to get on the ground. “It took about three or four times and he kept trying to get up a couple times," Deputy said. "I just told him that bad things were going to happen to

him pretty much if he got up." Deputy said the young victim thanked him for his help and he’s just relieved she wasn’t hurt. Police think Vernon has done something like this before. In fact, investigators said a 14-year-old girl reported a suspicious man in the same area just one day earlier. 2IÂżFLDOV EHOLHYH LW ZDV 9HUQRQ Deputy wonders if he could’ve been stopped sooner. “If you’re a victim of a crime, call the police. Because somebody else will eventually come along. They could be victimized by the same person and you could’ve just changed it by picking up the phone," he said. Vernon was arrested and booked in the Washington County Jail.

about 100 local farmers, it had an 80 horsepower steam engine to wash and cook the cull spuds stored in a space holding 1,000 tons. That required a steady supply; 250 bushels of potatoes = one ton of starch. One, two, and three-story wood buildings comprised the sizeable complex that was sited adjacent to the railroad tracks, about where present-day Cedar Hills Boulevard and Farmington Road intersect. Before long, loads were arriving from Cedar Mill, Dundee, Scappoose, and elsewhere. After a 16-hour manufacturing process, the result was put in 10, 25, 50 and 100 pound sacks. Although the VWDUFK ÀRXU IDULQD DQG VWRFN IHHG ZHUH ¿QH SURGXFWV E\ DOO DFFRXQWV the enterprise would be short-lived

This re-engineered plant expected to make only textile starch that would be sent to East Coast mills and animal feed for local farmers. Furthermore, the work was seasonal, beginning in fall and lasting only a few weeks at a time. Yet another issue likely led to the factory’s closure. ,Q 3DFL¿F 6WDUFK VXHG Northwest Process Company and American Surety Company in Circuit Court for $30,000 for breach of contract, alleging machinery

he Oregon Main Street program has advanced the Beaverton Downtown Association (BDA) to the Transforming Downtown level of participation. The Main Street Approach® is a comprehensive downtown revitalization program that focuses on historic preservation as a key tool to help communities build on their unique assets. Transition to the “Transforming” level means that the BDA has successfully expanded its participation and demonstrated “a high degree of commitment to using the Main Street Approach®.” Paul Cohen, chair of the BDA, expressed great pride in the organization’s achievement. “We have ZRUNHG KDUG RYHU WKH ODVW ¿YH years to take an aging downtown, in an Urban Renewal District, and transform it into a jewel of Beaverton, with new unique restaurants, an art gallery featuring all local artists, and multiple vintage shops all helping to attract people to the downtown area. All of this would not have been possible without the support of the City of Beaverton, the Oregon Main Street Program and our hard working volunteers.” Paul also pointed out the recently completed streetscape construction on SW Broadway Street: replacement of the southside sidewalk, the addition of bicycle parking, plus new street lighting and landscaping.

BDA volunteer Michelle Smith stated, “This is an exciting time to be a BDA volunteer. The projects are always fun, and it’s so rewarding to see our efforts turn into successes we can all be proud of.” After great success with 2015 projects, such as “First Friday,” all the volunteers are looking forward to major events in June, September, and December of this year. For more information on volunteering for the Beaverton Downtown Association, you can inquire at info@DowntownBeaverton.org. So what’s ahead for the Beaverton Downtown Association? Operating at the Transforming Downtown level will allow the BDA to participate in training, community assessments, technical assistance, the Oregon Main Street network, and receive local capacity building support. And particular emphasis will be placed on projects aimed at improving accessibility to the traditional Beaverton downtown area as a pedestrian-oriented district.

Sam Hingston is the featured artist for March at Art On Broadway. Sam has enjoyed sculpting since he was a young child carving soapstone, wood and cow bone. He has incorporated glass and metal into many of his sculptures, but his most current work is primarily done in wood. Sam enjoys challenging himself, and as a result his creations have evolved in complexity over time. His newest project “Bloom” is some of his most imaginative and intricate work to date. The pieces are a series of fanciful, exotic flowers created using a variety of woods and displayed as if growing from colorful, ceramic pots. Each unique bloom is an

Sam shares, “Wood is incredibly versatile, making it possible to achieve more or less whatever I have envisioned. As I approach each new piece, I have a specific design formulated. Seeing what I have developed in my mind’s eye as it evolves and progresses is always an exciting and rewarding experience. Using techniques like lamination and inlay, I create striking visual effects with color and grain. I pay particular attention to the quality of the finish with all my pieces, and the craftsmanship of my work is extremely important to me.

The March 14 “Grow up and stop playing.” Most of us have heard this admonishment in some form as we moved from youth to adulthood. But is it good advice? In our age of inactivity and frequent screen time, what are our kids learning from us about how to be healthy adults? Research shows that play and physical activity can have positive effects on children’s health, well-being, and education; they also boost health and creativity in adults. What is the value of play?

About the Speakers Blasher was born and raised in Eugene. He is executive director of Playworks, a Portland-based national nonprofit that transforms schools by providing play and physical activity at recess and throughout the school day. Jonathan earned his BA from University of California, Santa Cruz, and MBA from the University of Oregon. Doherty is program director at Playworks, where she has had the opportunity to see and participate in the positive transformation of hundreds of school communities through recess.

She truly enjoys that play is an integral part of her work, and is always excited to share her experience with others. Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our state's future.

village who pass their days playing soldiers and exploring local caves, mimicking a war that seems far removed from their everyday life. When Maartje joins their class, the young girl immediately stands out as different from her classmates. Yet the boys embrace their new friend, forming a unique bond based on shared adventures, secrets and mischief. Ultimately, the realities of war find even them – Lambert’s father, a Nazi sympathizer, is named mayor of their town and Tuur discovers his own father and brother have joined the resistance, instantly putting the two boys at odds. Meanwhile, Maartje is hiding a secret of her own, one that not only threatens to tear the new friends apart, but could lead to devastating consequences for anyone involved in keeping it.

THE STORY: Have you ever been tempted to ee your own life? Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management and in a middling marriage—with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a socially inept and grief-struck millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life‌and the audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun in a way that most plays wouldn’t dare. BECKY’S NEW CAR is a thoroughly original comedy with serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not taken. www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

J

I = 1‌and that = LONLEY!

LONLEY IN BUSINESS IS:

BUENO

In communication and interactions with your staff, and more importantly with your customers, if you use I & ME‌you might just be a trouble junky! , UHPHPEHU P\ ¿UVW LQWHUYLHZ in radio MANY years ago was with a gent (and radio icon) by the

name of Dave McDonald. Dave is still around, many of you might know him. Dave Rocks! In my interview, Dave asked a few questions, and I guess I used too many I’s and Me’s, because 'DYH ÂżUPO\ \HW SROLWHO\ LQWHUrupted me and said something like: “Excuse me, that’s great and all, but I want to know more about what you can do for me. I want to know how hiring you will help me & my radio stationâ€? DOY! Panic! Shot in the gut‌and best thing that ever happened to me in my early career. Dave did not hire me, and I never worked under him‌but he did more for me with that simple statement than many other managers I did work for. This all came back to me recently after reading a Seth Godin writing: “Iâ€?, “Weâ€? and “Youâ€? One of the most profound ways to change your posture and the way you and your organization interact with customers and partners is to change your pronouns. Instead of saying “Iâ€? when you’re ready to take credit, try “we.â€? Instead of saying “weâ€? when you’re avoiding responsibility, try “I.â€? And, every time you’re tempted to depersonalize the

impact of your actions, try “you,â€? while looking the impacted person in the eye. Words matter. SO, if you are using too many I’s and ME’s, suck it up, stop it, and continually communicate with your team about this as well. They are after all, in contact with your clientele more than you are! BE GREAT! JUST BEING GOOD, KILLS GREATNESS! MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO DO, AND KEEP DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU! LOOK UP‌AND SURPRISE SOMEONE!
