Beaverton Celebrates 125 Years! (See cover story on page 26)

In 1871, The Oregon Central Railroad company built a train depot to help farmers in the newly created town of Beaverton transport produce to markets in Portland. In 1893, that town incorporated into a city. Today, 125 years later, the City of Beaverton is home to almost 100,000 residents and voted in the top 12 for best places to live in America.

Spirituality in a global age By Minister John Shuck

I

n 2017 we celebrated the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. In the 1500s, the Reformers were responding to the political changes of pre-modern Europe. The changes we face now are far beyond what could have been imagined by Luther or Calvin. The rise of modern science and technology, the human population explosion, and a slow but sure recognition that Mother Earth’s UHVRXUFHV DUH QRW LQ¿QLWH KDV OHIW us searching for a spirituality that can make sense of and respond to this new reality. What are some options for spirituality in a global age? How do we unite Western and Eastern wisdom traditions, deep reverence for Earth, lamentation for loss, creative expression, and sacred activism to transform of individuals and institutions toward justice, sustainability and peace? I don’t pretend to have the answer. I do feel that it is important for us to ask the hardest questions, give ourselves permission to

explore provisional answers, and develop spiritual practices that are life-giving. What is your spiritual practice? What could I learn from you? How can your practice and my practice become our practice? We may have far more answers within and among us for the challenges we face than we know. Those answers can only emerge as we share them. Maybe that is the new reformation.

John Shuck is the minister at Southminster Presbyterian Church of Beaverton located on the corner of Denney and Hall. Visit us online at www.southmin.org. Join us for our Celebration of Creativity Fine Art Exhibit and Sale, March 2-4: www.celebrationofcreativity.com

#3( )JTUPSZ 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.

#3( (PBMT 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 patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores outside our community. #3( "EWFSUJTJOH 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 early 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 large 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 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 introducing your business to the community as you are!

Sitka Spruce

Which is better, paper or plastic? Heading Outside?

This means 14 million trees have to be cut down to make them. Also, it takes one gallon of water to make one paper bag. That’s 50 times more water than it takes to make a plastic bag. The process causes 50 times more water pollution and 70 percent more air pollution than plastic bags.

The solution? If you really want to help our environment, don’t let yourself EH FRQ¿QHG E\ KDYLQJ WR FKRRVH paper or plastic. Instead, bring your own reusable bag made from sustainable materials. They hold way more than plastic or paper, and their handles and bottoms don’t rip causing you to spill your groceries in the parking lot. Plus, some stores will even give you money back if you bring your own bag. Others donate that money to charity. Here’s a hint. Keep a couple reusable bags in your car so you won’t forget them and you’ll have them wherever you go. And next time you go to the store, BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag)!

arb and Dave, a couple in their 80s, called me up one day and although they loved their home, Barb could no longer drive due to a recent stroke and Dave had other medical issues that prevented him from driving. Barb and Dave, still full of life and had a love for the arts wanted to move downtown to a condo where the public transportation would allow them to get around more easily. They wanted to be near restaurants, doctors, hospitals and museums. So, we sold their home, found them a condo and soon enough they moved downtown. There was some stress involved and a move was not easy, but in order to keep the lifestyle they wanted, a move was necessary. Almost a year after they moved into their condo they realized the condo and Homeowners’ $VVRFLDWLRQ ZDV MXVW WRR FRQ¿QLQJ with all the rules and regulations. So once again Barb and Dave called me up to make a move. This time, I needed to sit down with them and ask better questions: What is really important in this next move? How much is it going to cost month-to-month, once a move is made? Is living in a retirement community a good option? Is a social experience important, and how often? How much care is needed?

At this point, we toured retirement communities and assisted living facilities. We also toured single-level, detached homes and went over the cost associated with these choices. At the end, Barb and Dave decided on a small, detached, single-level home near a bus stop that met their needs and their other love, which is gardening.

What’s wrong with ethanol fuel? By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Beaverton Readers! his month’s article is all about the damage ethanol fuel can do to vehicles. Oregon gets the poorest quality fuel in the nation. It does not regulate the fuel it receives to retail and ethanol fuel simply adds to the list of problems that plague many cars. There is still non-ethanol fuel available EXW LW LV GLI¿FXOW WR ¿QG DQG FRVWV around $4 per gallon.

The main reason we add 10% ethanol stems from the Bush administration’s push to reduce America’s dependency on foreign oil. Debris in fuel / premature fuel breakdown.

Water in fuel. Pure gasoline does not absorb water but ethanol will. Oil and gasoline are lighter than water so the water /ethanol mixture will stay at the bottom of your fuel tank. This can be a real problem because the water from the bottom of the tank is sucked up and sent to the engine raising temperatures that can cause damage. It gets worse too since the ethanol and water mix in E10 is a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi which just adds to the corrosion. Loss of power, octane rating, performance and mileage from E10 gasohol. Contrary to what most people believe, higher octane gas does not make your engine more powerful. Only if your engine is built for performance or racing with a higher compression rating do you need to use a higher-octane gasoline. Octane prevents gasoline from pre-igniting by slowing down the burn rate from an early damaging explosion to a slower more controlled burn. Ethanol

William Walker Book Drive EVENT Booked for Success March 7 and 8. The annual Booked for Success drive is under way to help William Walker Elementary School students buy books at the Scholastic Book Fair March 7 and 8. Sponsored by the Central Beaverton Neighborhood Association with substantial support from the Rotary Club of Beaverton, the drive is aimed at providing a $7 coupon to each of the approximately 480 students, ensuring that they can supplement school work with recreational reading. Educators say such additional reading is vital to improve children’s literacy. William Walker is aTitle 1 school, the designation for schools with high numbers of children from low income families. In addition to a grant from the City of Beaverton and major donation from Rotary, funds will come from the NAC’s fund

raising activities. These include direct donations (which may be made by sending a check to CBNAC, Neighborhood Program, PO Box 4755, Beaverton 97076),) and the sale of tickets to Beaverton Civic Theater productions and Beavers of Beaverton coloring books (both available from CBNAC members). The Book Fair is conducted by the SHINE program through Impact NW, in partnership with Scholastic Books, an international publisher of ageappropriate books for children.

Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles on failure By Spencer Rubin

While it’s still fresh on our minds, lets talk about The Super Bowl! Not football, but Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles. Foles was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles years ago, and after a good rookie year, he was actually traded away to the Los Angeles Rams. You see, the Eagles drafted Carson Wentz as their future quarterback and Foles became expendable. Things really did not work out for Nick Foles in Los Angeles, and he actually contemplated retiring from football. Then the Kansas City Chiefs called, and said why not give us a try. They needed a backup quarterback... and Foles decided to stay in football. After a year, his old team, The Eagles contacted him and told him they needed

him. As a backup quarter back. He said yes, and signed a contract. Good thing he did! In early December, starting QB Carson Wentz went down with a season ending knee injury. In went Foles, in what became an incredible playoff run...that culminated in a Super Bowl victory... as well as being named the Super Bowl MVP! Foles’ playoff performance is one of the highest rated in NFL History! What would have happened if Foles would have quit? No Super Bowl... No MVP... no future in professional football. Below is a great post game view of tenacity, and embracing failure... shared with the media from Foles. Before we get to that, keep in mind... all of this works for everything in life: Work... Career...

Sports... Hobbies... Etc... Don’t Quit, Keep Trying, Embrace Failure, Failure Teaches You More Than Winning, A Sure-fire Way To Lose In Life... Is To Quit!

NICK FOLES ON FAILURE: “I think the big thing is don’t be afraid to fail,” Foles said. “I think in our society today, Instagram, Twitter, it’s a highlight reel. It’s all the good things. And then when you look at it, when you think like, wow, when you have a

rough day, ‘My life’s not as good as that,’ (you think) you’re failing. Failure is a part of life. It’s a part of building character and growing. Without failure, who would you be? I wouldn’t be up here if I hadn’t fallen thousands of times. Made mistakes. We all are human, we all have weaknesses, and I think throughout this, (it’s been important) to be able to share that and be transparent. I know when I listen to people speak and they share their weaknesses, I’m listening. Because (it) resonates.”

you look at a struggle in your life, just know that’s just an opportunity for your character to grow. And that’s just been the message. Simple. If something’s going on in your life and you’re struggling? Embrace it. Because you’re growing.”

“So I’m not perfect. I’m not Superman. I might be in the NFL, I might have just won a Super Bowl, but, hey, we still have daily struggles, I still have daily struggles. And that’s where my faith comes in, that’s where my family comes in. I think when

Beaverton Turns 125 COMMUNITY Beaverton is celebrating a milestone this year. Our great city is turning 125 years old. Beaverton was incorporated on February 10, 1893. Did you know that it was founded on the same day as both Cornelius and Sherwood? What a trifecta! People came to Beaverton from all over and many had a difďŹ cult journey to get here. Ensuring that residents and visitors are able to move around the city easily no matter their mode of transportation continues to be a focus for the city.

Beaverton Volunteer Fair SAT, MAR 17 | 10 AM - 1 PM Beaverton City Library | 12375 SW 5th Street BeavertonOregon.gov/volunteerfair

The city will also continue to prioritize affordable living for all residents. Housing is also a 2018 city priority. Continued support of diversity, equity and inclusion is another 2018 city priority. Beaverton would not be the city it is today without the help of its founders. One such founding family is the Merlo family. Rose Merlo lived with her parents until 1920 when she married a young man named Louie Biggi, who worked for her father. When her father retired, the Biggis bought 14 acres to farm near what is now Southwest Cedar Hills Boulevard. Seven years later, Louie died, leaving Rose to raise and support three children and 14 acres full of vegetables. Three acres were the winter crop: horseradish. Rose used a machine made by her friend to grind the horseradish. She traveled to Portland, Hillsboro, and around Beaverton with her basket of ground horseradish. It began to catch on. A savvy businesswoman, Rose saved her proďŹ ts little by little and began

to buy the land surrounding their existing acreage. Now the horseradish farm site has a new purpose — a food cart pod. Another part of Beaverton seeing improvement is the downtown area. And we’re not done yet! We are currently creating a framework to guide the development of Downtown Beaverton. An open house was held in January and two interactive design workshops were held in February. Learn more about the Downtown Design Project at www. BeavertonOregon.gov/downtowndesign. From the past to the present to the future, the city continues to focus on strengthening our community.

Happy birthday, Beaverton. Here’s to another successful 125 years.

Thanks to the Maui Humane Society, and Wings of Aloha transport, 6 cats arrived at PDX Thursday night. Cat’s Cradle Rescue responded to MHS’s plea to mainland rescues requesting help finding homes for these special, but homeless, cats. Maui’s island population can not support the overpopulation of cats that currently exists. MHS’s long term solution is educating the islanders to spay or neuter their pets to prevent overpopulation. During this critical time Cat’s Cradle Rescue is stepping up, offering foster homes for these 6 special cats until they can find their fur-ever homes. CCR’s first priority will always be Oregon cats. For more info on the individual cats see ‘Available Cats’ on CatsCradleRescue.Com or call 503-320-6079. They will also be at our Petco adoption event this Saturday.

The Student Prince THE LIGHT OPERA

of Portland is primarily a light opera company specializing in the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, but Light Opera is part of our name and to be true to that we have chosen to present The Student Prince which was the longest running musical theatre production of the 1920’s and 30’s on Broadway. The Light Opera of Portland is known for “absurdity done in completer sincerity.” With this show one could substitute for absurdity the word “nostalgia” or perhaps “romance” for the show is unapologetically romantic and filled with glorious romantic melodies. more information visit us at https://loopprince.brownpapertickets.com/

THE STORY: In The Student Prince, Karl Franz, prince of the kingdom of Karlsberg, one of the then German states, has grown up sheltered and under tutors. Since childhood, he has been engaged to his cousin, Princess Margaret. His grandfather, the king, sends him to improve his social skills as a regular student at the venerable University of Heidelberg. Karl Franz and his entourage take up quarters at a local inn, and helped by new friends, Detlef, Lucas, and Von Asterberg, the prince soon starts enjoying student life. He also falls in love with Kathie, the innkeepers niece. Come dream along with all of us as we watch this spring time romance blossom and see if their dreams come true.
