Message from the Chief Student Academy By Chief Geoff Spalding
T
he Beaverton Police Department’s Student Academy was formed to provide high school students with a better understanding of law enforcement’s role in society. The goal of the Student Academy is to break down barriers to communication by providing an opportunity for police and students to work together. It is difficult to build bridges with young people when their initial perception of law enforcement may be negative. During the Student Academy, young citizens and officers are able to spend quality time together
and learn more about each other. Students attend mini workshops that provide them with basic education and hands-on experience with topics such as traffic, forensic science, and the use of force. Students are able to learn first-hand what the role of law enforcement is in society as well as participate in simulated scenarios. The academies are offered each year at Beaverton, Southridge and Sunset High Schools. This year, the academies reached approximately 200 students. To more information, visit www.BeavertonOregon.gov/Green.

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 first edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That first 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 first 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 traffic 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 find that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

pirit Mountain Community Fund has awarded the Beaverton Education Foundation a grant of $32,000.

he Pacific ninebark is a native shrub that grows to about 8 feet tall, and in some cases up to 12 feet tall in the right conditions.
Named ninebark because the bark sheds off in thin strips revealing more layers of bark underneath. This native shrub is closely related to another native plant called Spirea or (Spiraea douglasii) both do very well in moist areas around streams or lakes and in forests and look very similar. In the late spring to early summer the Pacific Ninebark blooms rounded clusters of white and sometimes pink flowers. The leaves of a ninebark are about 2
inches wide with three lobes, alternately arranged and have a mild green color.
This Native Plant of the Month has been brought to you by the City of Beaverton’s Landscape and Urban Forestry Department. For a complete list of native plantes, visit: www.beavertonoregon.gov/index. aspx?nid=1224

he Beaverton City Council voted on a resolution to honor local veterans who have received a Purple Heart by designating the city as a Purple Heart city. A sign was installed commemorating the resolution at Veterans Memorial Park at Southwest 7th and Washington Avenue. Al Herrera and Joel Dulashanti of the Military Order of the Purple Heart were on hand, along with Beaverton City Councilor Marc San Soucie, for the installation of the sign. Army Sgt. Dulashanti was the driving force behind making Beaverton a Purple Heart City. In 2007, then-Corporal Dulashanti was deployed to Afghanistan as a sniper. He and his partner were ambushed and he was shot, resulting in an abovethe-knee amputation. He received the Purple Heart form President George W. Bush in 2008.
“We are so grateful for the sacrifices our veterans have made,” said Mayor Denny Doyle. “By designating Beaverton as a Purple Heart City, we will honor the service members who have been wounded or paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.” The Purple Heart is the oldest military decoration in present use. It was created by General George Washington in 1782. They are awarded by the Military Order of the Purple Heart, whose mission is to foster an environment of goodwill among combat-wounded veterans
and their families, to promote patriotism, to support legislative initiatives and to make sure the people of the United States never forget their sacrifices. The City of Beaverton joins Oregon cities including Bend, Albany, Medford, Redmond, La Pine and Prineville in becoming a Purple Heart city.

What is a Clarity Enhanced Diamonds? Know before you buy By Kaaren Bedi
“I
just got a great deal on this diamond off the internet…” How many times have we heard this- and how many times have we had the unpleasant task of telling the truth to unsuspecting buyers that they have been overcharged or worse. Recently we have seen diamonds purchased over the Internet or at auction that are ‘clarity
enhanced.’ They have been sold as ‘good values’ without a full explanation of the enhancements or in many cases they simply don’t disclose the treatments. This is an unethical and sometimes fraudulent practice.

O
ur society puts a premium on our waking hours, and we have the tendency to underestimate the importance of a fullnight’s sleep. Millions of people who suffer from insomnia look for quick fixes instead of exploring the root causes of the problem. Sleep hygiene is an afterthought for many people. Evening is a time to allow our minds and bodies to turn inward to our subconscious. Sleep deprivation is the root of many health issues like memory impairment, a weakened immune
system and stress that can lead to cardiac disease, heart disease and digestive disorders. Exposure to the diminishing light at dusk helps regulate sleep hormones in the body. Excessive lighting at night, evening shift work, evening computing, video games, television and late-night eating all serve to counteract the body’s natural rhythms. It’s no wonder people have trouble sleeping. Rather than embrace nighttime as rest time, we tend to let our minds wander from one element of stress to another, which can keep us up for hours or perhaps an entire evening. We are then forced to approach the new day without having benefited from the regenerative powers that nighttime brings. In Oriental medicine, sleep

There are two main techniques for ‘clarity enhancing’ or changing diamonds clarity: Laser drilling and fracture filling. Laser drilling: A laser bores a small hold into the diamond’s interior and burns away a dark inclusion or creates a channel through which a bleaching agent is introduced to whiten the inclusion. This is a permanent change to the stone and can be seen with a microscope. Fracture Filling: This process hides the white fractures within the diamond crystal called ‘feathers.’ A glass-like substance is
injected into the fractures to make them less visible and improve the stone’s clarity. This is not a permanent change to the stone. It can be affected by exposure to heat and common household chemicals as well as routine cleaning and maintenance like sizing or re-tipping. This treatment is detectable by a trained gemologist. These ‘enhancements’ affect the value and stability of the stone. Diamonds are priced based on their 4 C’s. A clarity-enhanced stone should be priced at its ORIGIONAL grade value. And the enhancements must be disclosed
fully. To not do so is fraud. Ethical grading laboratories like GIA and AGS will not grade fracture filled diamonds but will review laser drilled diamonds. As always the rule of thumb is if it seems like too good a deal, it probably is.
think they’re hiring out of kindness, but they’re not they’re getting a business need met,” she says. Beginning with Discovery and Vocational Exploration, Dirkse CC gets to know the abilities of their clients. They determine if any accommodations or special allowances are needed to make it possible for a disabled person to perform their job duties: for example, allowing a job coach’s presence at a meeting, reading
written material aloud or providing pictures instead of words in instructional manuals. If necessary, they can help an employer “carve out” a job that fits both the employer and client’s needs - pinpointing timeconsuming tasks required of a higher-paid employee that can be performed by a Dirkse CC client. When a disabled employee (client) takes on those responsibilities, the higher-paid employee can focus on more complex tasks, resulting in job satisfaction for all. Tax incentives are available to employers of workers with disabilities. Understanding recent changes in the Americans with Disabilities Act, Dirkse CC takes
the risk out of developing a more diversified and effective work force. By providing job creation, disability education and supporting job retention through coaching and employee counseling, Dirkse CC helps businesses cost effectively develop a diversified work force.
occurs when the yang energy of the day folds into the yin energy of nighttime. Yin energy of the body is cooling and restorative; it is the time of day when our bodies turn inward and regenerate. This is the time we dream and explore the caverns of our unconscious mind. Conversely, daytime is yang, which is expansive. We expend the energy we have built up from the process of sleeping. Together, this is the cycle of yin and yang. To apply this yin-yang concept to your everyday life, try eating your last meal at least three hours before going to bed. For example, you can “cool” your yang energy down by avoiding hot and spicy food and drink. Avoid alcohol, coffee, chocolate and any other stimulants,
especially late in the day. To improve your sleep cycles, help circulate your body’s energy by working out or with gentle exercise. Build your body’s nutritive aspect by eating marrow-based soups and stews, dark pigmented vegetables and fruits. Avoid overworking or over rumination as well. An invaluable tool to help your brain unwind is meditation. It helps the body create a sense of calm. Meditation can reduce stress, increase feelings of well-being and improve overall health. It can help one increase alertness, relaxation and reflection even in “waking” states. Meditation is best practiced during the day to help improve your sleep patterns at night.

Food for Thought Why do we eat too much? By Celia Lambert, PhD
There are three answers to this question: 1. Physiological Factors-impairment of natural appetite regulation. For example, when you consume sugary foods without nutrients your body physiologically craves more food. It is the nutrients that satisfy your hunger not the calories alone. 2. Hedonic Factors-pleasure and reward ie. Birthdays, weddings, parties, holidays and other celebrations. We tend to over indulge at those times. 3. Psychological Factors-conscious and unconscious. Feeding your feelings. Did you know that eating chocolate produces the
same euphoric feelings as being in love? Americans tend to drink their calories and people don’t tend to compensate calories they drink. Studies show positive associations between sugary beverage consumption and weight gain. Also, we eat more when we are served more. In other words, if you increase the portion size, people will eat it. Portion sizes have grown: • 20 years ago a bagel was Approximately 3 inches in diameter and 140 calories, today bagels are 4-5 inches and 350 plus calories. • 20 years ago a cheeseburger averaged 333 calories, today they can be 590-850 calories with all the add-ons. • Popcorn at the movies and specialty coffees are two more

Beaverton Farmers Market Recipe Asparagus & Arugula Salad With Feta & Mint Story and Photo By Lindsay Strannigan
T
his bright and fresh salad salad is a celebration of spring greens! The roasted asparagus pairs beautifully with peppery arugula, lemon, and fresh mint. Asparagus started showing up at the market in mid-April but should be in abundance throughout the month of May. Be sure to pick up a few bunches of fresh asparagus before this spring veggie is gone for the season! Ingredients • 1 bunch of asparagus (approx. 1 lb) • 1.5 cups arugula • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint • 1 tablespoon good quality olive oil, plus more for roasting • Salt & pepper, to taste • Fresh lemon juice • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Trim asparagus. Toss asparagus with a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast asparagus in the oven for 8-12 minutes, or until asparagus is tender. Remove and set aside to cool. Once cooled, toss the asparagus with the arugula. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture, and toss with vinegar and lemon juice. Gently toss in the feta cheese and mint. Season with salt & pepper.
Red and Purple Potato Salad Story & Photos By Greg Mattie
W
ith the weather finally warming up, this is the best time to find a nice park and have a picnic. Growing up, we always had a bowl of potato salad to go with the hot dogs and hamburgers. I thought it would be nice to add a little color to this American classic. For a while now, I have prepared my potato salad with red potatoes instead of russets because the reds have a firmer texture (I dislike mushy spuds in my salad). By adding the purple potatoes, not only are you making the dish look prettier (extra bonus), you are also adding valuable nutrients. Who doesn’t like that? It’s important to eat your ‘colors’. Purple potatoes are no exception to this rule and they are rich in antioxidants. They help to improve your immune system and they aid in lowering blood pressure. All this and they taste just the same as a traditional white-fleshed potatoes. I enjoy this recipe because I can use local ingredients I purchased from the Beaverton Farmer’s Market. The prep is quick and I purposely shrunk the size of the recipe because, let’s face it, we are notoriously guilty of making too much potato salad and what we don’t eat just gets wasted. I also used local brand Beaver Brand Dijon Mustard which gives the salad a nice little kick.
There you go…simple and savory. With weather like this (84° at the time of this writing), staying indoors just makes zero sense. Enjoy this potato salad and salud! Ingredients • 6 Potatoes (3 red & 3 purple, skin on) • 3 Eggs • ½ Cup diced Red Onion • ¼ Cup diced Pickle • ¼ Cup sliced Black Olives • ½ Cup Mayo • 2 TBSP Dijon Mustard • Salt/Pepper to taste • Paprika (optional) Directions Cut potatoes into small chunks and boil. Also, hard boil eggs. When eggs and potatoes are finished, rinse in cool water. Peel eggs and dice up two and slice the other egg (to splay on top of pot. salad). Add onion, pickle, and black olives into the potato/egg mixture and combine. Mix in the mayo and mustard and S/P. Spread the sliced egg on top and sprinkle a little paprika on top (optional). Chill, serve and enjoy!
Enjoy and see ya at the Market!

Restaurant Spotlight 808 Grinds Hawaiian Cafe By Gina Groves
W
hat do you get when you have two best friends that 1)grow up in Maui 2) who both developed the inspiration from family to cook and 3) both have the passion to bring their Hawaiian culture and a variety of delicious Hawaiian dishes to the Cedar Hills/Beaverton area? ANSWER: A real mouth-watering Hawaiian treasure called 808 Grinds! At 808 Grinds you’ll feel a warm “Aloha Welcome” as if you stepped of the plane in Hawaii. The name of the restaurant was
chosen because 808 is the area code and grinds means “good Hawaiian local eats”. The owners, Jensen Yip and Kevin Scofield, have provided a cultural dining experience. At 808 Grinds their motto is, “Spreading da aloha one plate at a time.” I always thought the word Aloha just

Auto Advice from the Beaverton Car Guy certified cars includes three BMW models, two Mercedes-Benz and one Audi along with Hondas, Toyotas, Fords and Chevrolets. If you are considering a certified car option, Larry Ferguson suggests the following advice:
What you should know about Certified Pre-Owned By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson
D
espite strong new car sales, more shoppers are also considering certified used cars. AutoTrader.com, the largest web site for car ads, reports that five percent more visitors to the site checked out certified cars in April than at the start of this year.
Do the math carefully. Loan rates are almost always higher for used cars. If you can get a promotional zero percent rate on
warranty usually lasts for one year from the date of purchase. Moody points out that, just as with new car warranties, any work that is covered can be done at the dealership with no outlay from you. With many extended warranties you might buy to go with a noncertified used car, you must pay up front for any repairs and then collect from the warranty insurer. In the months ahead, prices may become more attractive on certified used cars. Black Book, which provides vehicle valuations for auto industry professionals, is reporting an easing of the used car shortage that has pushed prices up over the last two years. So the certified comparison with new cars could look stronger as you are shopping. Thank You for reading!
Certified Pre-Owned!
When do certified used cars make financial sense? With used-car values overall at nearrecord highs, you have to shop carefully. But if you can get a carefully inspected vehicle with a manufacturer-backed warranty for at least $5,000 less than a new car or monthly payments close to $200 lower, it is worth consideration, says AutoTrader.com editor Brian Moody. For most brands, certified used cars involve cooperation between manufacturers and their dealers. The dealers select relatively lowmileage cars, often returning from three-year leases. Then they give those cars a detailed inspection as stipulated by the auto makers. Certified cars usually carry a new warranty backed by the manufacturer. Certified cars work especially well with luxury brands, where a shopper may not be able to afford a new version. The AutoTrader April top 20 list of most-researched
a new car, that may be your best deal. And most new models have better MPG ratings than their older counterparts, saving money at the gas pump. Make sure you are getting a manufacturer’s certification program. Used car lots along the highway put up signs touting certified used cars that mean little. A franchised new car dealer should be offering a program overseen and backed by the maker of its brand that requires specific inspection and fixing of defects. But double-check that a car you are considering is indeed in an auto company program.

Q:
Can you mount rifles on the outside of your vehicle in Oregon?
A: Oregon has no State law against carrying a loaded handgun in your car as long as it’s : (a) Not concealed or (b) “Not readily accessible.” In short, there is no law against the gun being mounted on the outside of your vehicle. However, localities are allowed to regulate loaded firearms in “public places” which now includes your car. This only applies to people without CHL’s. So you need to check local regulations especially if you plan on driving through several different jurisdictions.
Q:
My Husband likes to change lanes extremely fast like he does when he’s on his motorcycle. Can he be pulled over for this? A: ORS 811.375, Unlawful or unsignaled change of lane states: (1) A person commits the offense of unlawful or unsignaled change of lanes if the person is operating a vehicle upon a highway and the person changes lanes by moving to the right or left upon the highway when: (a) The movement cannot be made with reasonable safety; or (b) The driver fails to give an appropriate signal continuously during not less than the last 100 feet traveled by the vehicle before changing lanes. So in short, unless it can be determined that the lane change was reckless, the law does not address the speed of lane changing
Q:
Is it illegal to drive with your interior cabin light on?
A: No (but at night, it may make it more difficult to see).
Q:
I see cyclists using the left hand turn lane riding alongside cars until they make the turn and then go back to their bike lane. Is this legal? A: Cyclists are able to use the left hand turn lane as long as standard lane usage rules are adhered to.
Check the warranty. Manufacturer certified programs typically add an additional warranty whether or not the original one has expired. The certified

Musings of a Beaverton Teen What is religion to you?
D
By Ben Moreno
o you see it as a source of oppression or a source of hope? It’s such a delicate topic due to the dark history surrounding religion, such as wars fought “in the name of God,” or The Crusades of the 1400’s. Even today there are different types of wars still being fought over words in the bible, and how some views have changed since it was written. Today there seems to be only two sides you hear about in the news or on social medias: “The Godless Heathens,” or “The Old Bigots.” In reality, I think there is more to religion and these fights than we’re really exposed to in society. I am someone who has
never really been pushed to attend church, but also never been told it was a negative thing in any way. I feel like there is no doubt that religion has been used by a corrupt few to try to gain control and power, but I can also see why many use religion as a source of hope. One of the many controversies over religion is about how the bible addresses subjects such as Gay Marriage. Just the thought of a man marrying another man, or a woman marrying an-other woman, is enough to send a very religious crowd who believes in that aspect
into an up-roar. What this group of people has trouble with is understanding that not everyone believes in the same thing, so there is no way for everyone to be on the same page in this situation. Whereas someone who doesn’t think gay people should be allowed to get married because of their religious beliefs, others believe that Gay Marriage is perfectly okay because they believe in everyone being equal. The differing beliefs of each side is what causes the clash, but neither side has any more reason to have their beliefs than the others. It’s just how they grew up and how they think the world should be. Aside from the controversies relating to control with religion, many people view their religion as a source of hope. There are many unanswerable questions in life
Busy Beavers at Beaverton High Introducing senior Amelia Monfared By Hailee Meacham & Laila Mottaghi

hen students find an interest in a certain program, at first they usually dip their toes into the water and start with the basics. However, that’s not the case with Beaverton High School’s senior Amelia Monfared. Monfared, passionate about her studies in science, took the initiative and became an apprentice at the Oregon Health and Science University. She got this incredible opportunity through a program called the Saturday Academy, “I applied there with about 150 other applicants then I did an interview and I got in,”
commented Monfared. At her internship, Monfared primarily conducts preliminary research that helps develop her personal project, “Evaluation on Restrictive Mitral Filling Patterns on Diastolic Function.” Not only does she work on her own project, but she also assists the others working at the lab with their projects.
From a young age, Monfared was surrounded by science, from her father who is a computer scientist, to her mother who is a pharmacist, even to her cousins who are doctors. However, it wasn’t until she was accepted into the Health Careers program at Beaverton that she truly realized her own passion for science, rather than the business path she had been following, “That’s when I really started loving school and just really wanting to participate more in science,” said Monfared. As far as her project goes, it was strictly independent, “I had to make it up myself. That was the other scary thing, that I was there the first week and they told us, ‘Oh, you need to figure out

that cause us to have anxiety, such as what happens when we die or why certain things happen in life. This is how I believe that religion should be viewed and used by both sides of this common fight. The idea that there is a higher power looking out for us, and waiting to welcome us in death, with the power to help us in life, is comforting. This belief helps us as humans to be able to stress out at least a little bit less in life. Just having something to have faith in, to know will always be there, can help people through the toughest times of their life. Everyone has the right to believe in different things. There is no reason to believe that anyone’s beliefs are below any others, as long as they do not affect anyone other than that persons spiritual health. Whether that belief
is that everyone deserves to have the same rights, or that there is a higher power looking out for them, or even both, it is a valid belief that helps each person to live their lives happily. I don’t believe that it is anyone’s place to put themselves ahead of that.
your project,’ and I had no idea what I was going to do it on,” commented Monfared. While she actually previously completed her research project and submitted it to American College of Cardiology, it was not accepted, so she will be redoing her project this summer at OHSU. Although it was an intense time commitment, Monfared would recommend the program to anyone interested in science, “My favorite part was when everything finally clicked...when I could suture the heart really fast, when I could use the ultrasound really well, when I could set up my experiment and understand what it all meant, that was the best.” Altogether, the experience was invaluable to her and her
future ambitions.

By TVFR Staff
s we welcome warmer spring and summer weather, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue reminds parents, grandparents, babysitters, and all adults who care for children that window falls are preventable. Each year, window falls account for about eight deaths and more than 3,300 injuries to young children in the United States. In Oregon, 26 children ages 5 and younger fell from windows in 2014 - a decrease from 32 falls in 2013. Because children frequently land on their heads, many require hospitalization for fall injuries and may have permanent disabilities. A majority of falls occur between May and September, but can happen anytime windows are open. Window screens are not strong enough to keep a child from falling out of a window. They are designed to keep bugs out, not kids in. The encouraging news is that simple steps can help prevent
injuries and save lives. As a partner in the Stop at 4 Inches Campaign to Prevent Window Falls, TVF&R urges parents and families to continue their commitment to window safety. Please share the following tips with friends, family, or anyone else who has children living in or visiting their home. • Keep windows closed and locked when not in use. • Keep play areas, furniture, and anything a child can climb on away from windows. • Do not open windows more than 4 inches and install window stops. Window stops prevent windows from opening wide enough to allow a child to tumble out. • Window stops should be easily removed by an adult in the event of a fire or other emergency.
• For a double-hung window, open the top portion near the ceiling for ventilation while keeping the bottom portion closed. • Actively watch children near windows — no device can replace adult supervision.

Bicycle Face, Wheelmen, and Bloomers
A few thoughts on fence repair
W
By Ann Koppy, BHSoc Historian
omen and men in the 1890s encountered a new and frightening medical “disorder” that was said to cause long-lasting harmful effects to the body. Physicians warned the populace the condition, known as “bicycle face”, was especially harmful to females, although males weren’t immune. Clenched jaws, dark shadows under bulging eyes, flushed faces, and pinched lips resulted from overexertion in maintaining balance on two wheels. The story behind the so-called ailment has many components: technological innovation, social and cultural phenomenon, leisure activity, fashion arbiter, creator of new words, and economic booster. A bicycling craze swept the country beginning in the late 1880s. The first “ordinary” bikes had one 4’-5’ diameter front wheel and one small rear wheel. They were heavy, difficult to mount, and suitable only for athletic young men. Their replacement, the “safety” version, was easy to mount and dismount, had equally-sized wheels, lighter weight, a kerosene lamp, and inflatable tires. The two-wheeled contraptions were viewed by many, mostly male doctors and observers, as unwelcome instruments of female emancipation that provided mobility and freedom from cumbersome Victorian corsets and petticoats worn under ankle-length dresses.
Once-scandalous bloomers-- women’s loose-fitting divided undergarments-- were eventually accepted, though hemlines wouldn’t shorten to mid-calf style for another 20 years. Other admonitions popped up as talk of bicycle face began to fade. Riding bikes with open mouths injured vocal cords. Inhaling dust from unpaved roads damaged lungs. Exercise exhausted the human system and caused excessive perspiration. Critics likewise attacked the lack of good manners. Riders failed to lift or at least touch their caps as they passed other riders or folks on horseback or in horse-drawn carriages. The sport nevertheless grew and influenced national standards throughout the decade as wheelmen and bicycle clubs advocated for good roads and traffic regulations. Scorchers were reckless scofflaws who careened around corners and swooped around pedestrians. (Mass commercial production of automobiles was a few years in the future.) Wheels, noiseless steeds, and steeds of steel were bicycles, wheeling was the sport, and wheelmen were riders. Bicycle and accessories manufacturers and machine shops employed thousands of men,
women, girls and boys throughout the country, contributing more than $50,000,000 to the economy in 1895. They turned wood, leather, and steel into finished products, while making bells, cyclometers, repairs kits, and tires. Wheels, as they were always called, ranged in price from $30 to $100, depending on manufacturer and features, but local businesses rented them and provided lessons for about 75 cents per hour. Washington County in 1899 appointed three bicycle commissioners, all avid wheelmen, to distribute funds collected by the county-wide bicycle levy of $1.25 per wheel. The sheriff had collected taxes equivalent to $33,000 in 2015 from 923 wheelmen by year’s end; all monies were dedicated to the construction of bike paths throughout the county. As the 19th century closed, the issue was put to rest. Cycling wasn’t harmful, but a sensible way to improve health and promote social interaction. The affordable, practical replacement for a horse would soon become outdated, however, and replaced by another invention that would profoundly change transportation: the automobile.

By Bob Strong
s a handyman, I was asked from time to time to repair damaged fences and gates so I thought I’d share some of my observations from the past seventeen years. Wood or Metal First of all, the majority of fences I was asked to repair are wood and of those, the vast majority of the damage was preventable. The most common failure occurs at the bottom of the fence boards, where they have rotted away, because someone let the landscaping stay in contact with them. Fire is the only thing more damaging to your home than water and, in this case, I’m going to include your wood fence as part of the home. Fence boards When the fence was first built, the fence boards were probably an inch or two off the ground, but as bark chips and other landscaping got added, the space disappeared and now the bottoms of the boards are buried in damp mulch all year long. And, I know that you’ve been told that cedar holds up well – it does – against bugs. But it rots just like any other cellulose. So, how do you correct the problem? The first thing to do is get into your garden and remove a bunch of the mulch that has built up at the bottom of the fence line and then examine it for damage. Assuming it’s not too extensive, just keep the fence line clear each year when you add landscaping materials and the wood will dry out. Once the wood is dry, the rot will not get any worse. If you find a few boards that need replacement, measure the length and width and note any special shape to the top of the boards. Then visit the lumber yard and come as close as you can to matching what is already there. You may have to trace the outline of an existing board onto the new material and cut it out, if the shape is customized. Remove the old boards and nail on the new ones and you’re good to go. I keep
stainless steel fasteners loaded in one of my nail guns for this purpose, because anything other than that or aluminum will react with the acids in the board, causing a stain to bleed down from the nail. You might choose to use a special polymer coated screw, but all things considered, replacing a few boards with 8 penny, galvanized nails will simply never be seen. Fence posts The next most frequent repair finds me replacing fence posts that have rotted off at the ground. Generally, these are fences where the post was cedar, rather than pressure treated wood. Cedar definitely resists rot longer than most other species, but pressure treated lumber lasts virtually forever. It used to take the better part of a day to replace a post, but with the invention of the Stur-D Fence Post Bracket, I re-use the old post and it only takes about half an hour. These are available at Parr Lumber yards and Pro-Build Stores. Fence gates Finally, I end up replacing a few gates each year. These can be built from scratch and they definitely look more craftsmanlike, but I’ve been using the prefab steel frame method for the past few years. They hold up longer, they’re easier to adjust, and for most folks, they are every bit as acceptable as one built the old fashioned way.

Beaverton Beaverton History History Center Center
Important Announcement
Interested in Local History?
In order to better serve the community and city of Beaverton, the Beaverton Historical Society board has voted to move the history center currently on Broadway St to a smaller location on 1st Street between Hall Blvd and Washington Ave. The new location will still allow for exhibits and research but with the smaller overhead, the society hopes to be able to focus more on its mission of education and outreach. For more information, email BRG@CedarHouseMedia.com.

he Melcher family has been in the business of growing hazelnuts for over 50 years. Ken & June Melcher began farming hazelnuts in 1957 on a 40-acre farm in their home town of St. Paul, Oregon. It was one of the largest filbert orchards in the Willamette Valley at the time. As second generation farmers, we now farm 300 acres of hazelnuts. In 2000, we expanded our business to include packaged, ready to eat hazelnuts, named after the original farmers, Ken and June Melcher. Ken & June’s product line includes raw, dry roasted, and roasted & salted hazelnuts, as well as a delicious selection of chocolate coated hazelnuts including milk, dark and Marion berry flavored. As a family owned and operated small business, we take great pride in providing a quality, locally grown product for our customers to enjoy all year round.

Since the age of 2 he has been obsessed with the Discover Channel, only requesting to watch those shows and learning about different insects and retiles. By the age of 4, he was able to name all the insects and reptiles at the pet store. He even impressed the workers by naming all the different snakes by their color patterns and even knew which ones were poisonous. During his free time, he enjoys swimming, hanging out with his cousins and playing outdoors. He loves to catch all kinds of insects and retiles during the summer months.
