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!

What I Heard on Vacation By Spencer “The Catalyst“ Rubin
Spring Break 2016 was awesome! ere are some of the pictures I took around our resort in Mexico!
H
We will return…MANY times! Let’s keep this simple: EYE CONTACT…GRATITUDE… WELL TRAINED STAFF…FOCUS ON THE CUSTOMER…THANK YOUS… BUENOS DIASES…GRACIASES GALOR! Not a bad way to engage and treat your customers! EVERY-SINGLE-DAY! BE GREAT! JUST BEING GOOD, KILLS GREATNESS! MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO DO, AND KEEP DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU!
The scenery was amazing! I got to relax and read 4 books! However, I never take my mind 100% off of business and I wanted to share some of the things I heard & witnessed the most during our trip that impressed me. The crew at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach is very well trained. They are everywhere. Maids, waiters, bartenders, concierges, bus drivers, gardeners. Everyone looks you in the eye…and what you constantly hear from them is: • THANK YOU! • BUENOS DIAS! • GRACIAS!
LOOK UP…AND SURPRISE SOMEONE!
Simple…and Powerful. They are grateful for the guests. They are thankful we come and stay (and spend our $$). They know their jobs are to make our stay incredible. The resort exists for us, and they don’t let down. The Rubin clan has never had a disappointment during one of our trips there.
Spencer Rubin is a Beaverton Resident with 3 kids attending local schools. With 23 years in the advertising and marketing Industry with AM1360-KUIK, Spencer has become a passionate advocate for the success of small, local business owners. This article has been adapted for the BRG from his weekly Catalyst newsletter.Questions? Contact Spencer at 971-732-4745 or spencer@kuik.com

Birds of Oregon, by Stan Tekiela and www.allaboutbirds.org informed me it was a male Spotted Towhee (females have brown hoods), a kind of New World sparrow that was once lumped together with the Eastern Towhee as a single species, the rufous-sided Towhee. In those days, our local variety was referred to as pipilo maculatus oregonus (roughly translating to vocal-spottedOregonian). No longer considered a sub-species today, the oregonus moniker has been dropped. (I have mixed feelings about that, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Like many other noxious weeds, its beauty can blind us to the harm it can do to our native habitats. English ivy (Hedera helix), purple loosestrife (Lythrum VDOLFDULD EXWWHUĂ&#x20AC;\ EXVK %XGGOHMD davidii): the list of troublesome beauties goes on and on. How is it that so many invasive plants are also so lovely to look at? Most invasive species were brought to the United States in one of three ways: accidentally (e.g., imported through goods or in the ballast water of ships), for utilitarian purposes (e.g., for food sources or biocontrol), or
for ornamental use (e.g., in gardens RU IRU FXW Ă&#x20AC;RZHUV Early settlers from Europe brought many of these plants simply because they were pretty. In the centuries since, many of these ornamental imports have escaped gardens and farms. Lacking natural predators, these plants can become noxious weeds, crowding out native species, altering soil and water composition, and damaging ecosystems. So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a well-meaning gardener to do?

Green Washing Synthetic Diamonds G Supporting Fair Trade Diamonds By Kaaren Bedi
I
n Beaverton we pride ourselves on being responsible stewards of our environment. We recycle our trash and we compost. And we look for companies that do the right things too. So when it comes to making the decision to buy jewelry we want to make sure we are as responsible as possible. There is no doubt that there is controversy about the complex global businesses that make up the jewelry and gem trade. Ethical and responsible people are working tirelessly to make positive and long lasting change to ensure the wellbeing of the planet and the people involved.
But there are those who also see the controversy as an opportunity to take advantage of unsuspecting customers wanting to do the right thing. There is a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;greenwashingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; going on- companies are presenting partial truths or unethical stories to pull at your heart and purse strings. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take lab-grown diamonds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those that market synthetic diamonds claim they are more ethical alternative to natural diamonds. While it is nice to believe that
something â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;grownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in a lab at high heat and pressure has no down side there is more to the story. Lab grown diamonds concentrates the control of an unimaginable capacity to produce a commodity-control its availability and manipulate its price while concentrating the wealth produced more than ever. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be fooled- Lab grown or cultured diamonds are being marketed and sold to make money. The ecological impact is unclear- it is very resource heavy on the energy side. Right now nearly ten million people who make their living mining diamonds- many have virtually no other option for productive employment. Those that market synthetics as an alternative to fair trade and development diamonds are undercutting some
of the poorest people in the world. Artisanal mining provides life and sustenance to millions when done in ecologically and socially responsible ways. Buying to support Fair Trade diamonds is a much more responsible way to support humanity that buying synthetic diamonds made by companies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference between buying eggs from a factory farm or eggs from your local farmers market.

Our Town | C om m uni ty St ories The C Th Care & Feeding of Your Home
How Safe Is Your Home? By Handyman Bob Strong
A
burglary occurs every 15 seconds in this country, with an average loss of $1,600. Two thirds of all burglaries are residential and of those, two thirds occur between 9 AM and 3 PM, when there is a high probability that nobody is at home. So, what can you do to make your home safer? You might consider installing an alarm system. About thirty percent of all homes do have alarm systems, which is how we know that homes without an alarm are 2 to 3 times more likely to be broken into. But, it is not enough to simply have an alarm system. While the noise may seem reassuring and off-putting to you and me, it rarely stops the burglar. The alarm system must be monitored, so police are dispatched in the event of a break-in. The system must also have a wireless back-up, so cutting a phone line wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disable the monitoring feature.
With the advent of Internet monitoring, you may even choose to incorporate a video feed which also allows you to keep an eye on your home from virtually anywhere. This is a service now offered by home entertainment comSDQLHV OLNH ;ÂżQLW\ DV ZHOO DV E\ WKH major home security companies. The most common failure
experienced with an alarm system, however, is still human failure. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget to set the alarm! You may want to improve the locks on your doors and windows. In fact, simply using the existing locks would prevent the thirty percent of all entries that are made through unlocked doors and windows. Many of the older style locks are easily defeated, so relocking your home with more current models would be a good investment. Make it very apparent that you are serious about home security by installing a dead-bolt, as well as just the key lock in the knob. Install secondary locking devices on windows to prevent them from opening fully. This could be the same device that serves as a child safety feature to prevent toddlers from falling out. Something else you may want to think about installing is a high grade security storm door. When used during home entry training, SWAT teams have to pull them
off the face of a house using a vehicle or â&#x20AC;&#x153;blowâ&#x20AC;? the hinges using an explosive; they are that hard to defeat! Available for virtually any door type, from single or double hinged entry to patio slider, they look great and keep the weather out as well as the burglars. Locally, these custom-made doors are available through Mascotte Home Security. And, to help deter those burglars who would enter at night, install â&#x20AC;&#x153;dusk to dawnâ&#x20AC;? security lighting on the outside of your home near every door. These lights are available at nearly every hardware store. Simply replace H[LVWLQJ OLJKW Âż[WXUHV RU KLUH DQ electrician to provide power to any locations not already lit.

So Many Reasons to Shop at a Farmers Market By Emery Hanel (11th Grade)
Hey, Beaverton teens! tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that time of the year again. The Beaverton Saturday Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market is up and running for 2016 from May to November. Open from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the outdoor market located across from the Beaverton Library on SW Hall Boulevard (between 3rd Street and 5th Street) is an excellent place to purchase a countless variety of fresh, in-season organic crops that are grown locally. The Beaverton Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market is the single largest, allagricultural market in the state of Oregon and around 20,000 people opt to visit and buy each Saturday. However, some of you may be hesitant to purchase from a oneday-a-week marketplace when you can easily purchase what seems to be the same products at your nearby grocery store. However, the reality is that farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market produce is nearly always going to be a cheaper and safer alternative to the produce available at your nearby grocery store. The
produced. Moreover, these vendors will likely be able to offer you pointers on how to properly prepare the product for a meal and can even share a few recipes.

Center for Urban Education About Sustainable Agriculture (CUESA) highlights the following as reasons why you should consider visiting the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market in the place of a supermarket: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better for you. The food you buy at your nearby grocery store is typically grown with the use of pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, and geQHWLF PRGLÂżFDWLRQÂąDOO RI ZKLFK are detrimental to your health if ingested. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even more alarming is that these products are
gassed to quicken the rate at which they ripen. However, the food you buy at the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market is not processed so heavily or affected by the exposure to radiation and waxing that occurs in the transit of supermarket produce. Farmers aim to grow as naturally as possible and offer as much variety as possible. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place where you can educate yourself. Vendors who farm their own product are happy and able to tell you exactly where and how the food you wan to buy is being
It promotes green practices and the humane treatment of animals. Supermarket produce is often transported hundreds of miles before it hits the shelves, meaning that it is carted around in massive trucks that pollute the environment with burned fossil fuels. Supermarket produce is also farmed conventionally more often than it is farmed organically, and the pesticides they use also pollute the environment. Because farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market produce is local, transport time is much shorter and done with more care. Additionally, farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market meats, cheeses, and eggs are all raised very differently than the meats, cheeses, and eggs up for sale at a supermarket. They have not been affected by hormones or antibiotics, and have enjoyed a natural diet for their lifetime. Living conditions for these farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
market animals are better than that of the supermarket counterparts, aiding in the movement for more humane animal agriculture. It serves as a place to connect. Packed with vendors, shoppers, tourists, kids and live entertainment, the farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market is an ideal place to socialize with new and old friends. The market is also a chance to thank farmers. They have to compete with large agricultural corporations that do not even sell as high quality of a product that they do, and by buying from them, they receive a greater return on their produce. This keeps them selling their wonderful products!

Local Super Hero, Guardian Shield By Nishu Dayal (12th Grade)

atman. Superman. Spiderman. Iron Man. These four names have something big in common and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that their names all end in man. These are all names of superheroes. Growing up, most children dream of becoming a superhero, but as they grow older, they start to assume that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something out of their reach, something impossible. When in reality, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the case at all. Guardian Shield is a man based out of Portland (but started here in Beaverton) who against all odds, decided to become a superhero. Armed with a ballistic shield, he patrols streets at night providing
a hero in a comic book. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just tired of the crime,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Harrison, HS2â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s psychologist explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fed up.

Guardian Shield took one selfless act to the extreme: Helping others. He has dedicated his time and energy to do things you only see in comic books. He walks around in a colorful suit, offering help to anyone who needs it at no cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not out here for the hundreds of people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need

Time for Some Spring Vehicle Maintenance By Larry â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Car Guyâ&#x20AC;&#x153; Ferguson

ow that winter has passed it may be time to take a look at some Spring vehicle maintenance, here are some good ideas I have found, for the upcoming travel season. Exterior Tips 1. Wiper blades play an extremely important role in increasing visibility. Replace every six months or when cracked, cut, torn, streaking or chattering. Something I have found to be useful is applying RainX on all of my windows for better visibility. 2. Check the tires. A simple test to check tire tread depth is to insert a penny into the tread of the tire. If the top of Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head sticks out, your tires are starting to show signs of wear and should be replaced. Also FKHFN WKH WLUH LQĂ&#x20AC;DWLRQ DQG inspect the tread for uneven wear, which could indicate the need for a wheel alignment. Also look for bulges and bald spots. It is a good idea to make sure you do a tire rotation every other oil change for maximum tire life on your vehicle 3. Give your car a good washing from top to bottom. Use a SURGXFW VSHFLÂżFDOO\ PDGH IRU automobiles. Always clean the tires and wheels before washing the body, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the same mitt for both. 4. ,I \RX ÂżQG PLQRU SDLQW damage, cover the paint chips as quickly as possible. For D TXLFN Âż[ XQWLO \RX FDQ JHW some touchup supplies, either at a Dealership (for a perfect color match) or from an auto parts store, dab a little clear nail polish on the scratch or chip to prevent rust and further deterioration. 5.

He was lodged in the jail on multiple charges. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Bring Drugs to Jail A man came to the jail lobby and wanted to visit an inmate. He explained to the deputy that he had paraphernalia in his backpack, so the deputy asked what it was. The man said he had some pipes and that some were broken.

The man then proceeded to tell the deputy he could search his backpack, but to be careful not to get cut from the broken pipes.

Spring is a good time to check the entire brake system, including brake linings, rotors and drums. Sometimes winter roads can leave debris in and around brakes. 2. Check the shocks or struts for signs of physical damage, such as leaking, rusting, or dents. Also be aware of the warning signs that you may need them replaced: vehicle rolls or sways on turns, front end dives when braking, rear end squats when accelerating, vehicle sits lower in the front or rear, a loss of directional control during sudden stops, and the vehicle bounces or slides sideways on a winding and rough road. 3. ,I \RX QRWLFH DQ\ Ă&#x20AC;XLG SXGGOHV or stains under your vehicle, it is a good idea to have it inspected.

Traffic Q&A:
By BPD Staff
With the Beaverton Police Department
Q:
What is the correct procedure if I accidentally back into a parked ked car and the owner isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t around? In this situation, there are duties that hat are expected to be performed in n accordance with ORS 811.700 (Failure to perform the duties of a driver involved in an accident). This means that reasonable efforts must be made to identify and contact the owner/ driver. If the owner is not around, then leave a note on the windshield with your contact information. There is no legal requirement to have a witness but it is advised to have evidence that you did indeed leave a note. This way, if the note is blown away before car owner gets back, you would be in a good position to provide some sort of proof that you complied with Oregon law.
Q:
I saw someone pour coffee out his window while stopped at a signal. Could this person be ďŹ ned for littering or does the littering law only pertain to trash? A: this action would fall under the Offensive Littering statute, a misdemeanor. By statute, offensive littering is discarding or depositing any refuse upon the land of another or upon a public way. Refuse by deďŹ nition is something that is discarded as useless or worthless. So pouring out coffee that was useless or worthless to the driver would be offensive littering. However, the decision to arrest a person for this would be at the ofďŹ cerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discretion.
Q:
Is it legal for two motorcycles to ride in the same lane side by side or two abreast?
A: Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay for two motorcycles to share the same lane but no more than two (ORS 814.250).
Q:
Going west on Canyon at the intersection of SW Broadway and 117th Ave., there is a sign permitting a U-turn to head back east. When I turn with the green left turn arrow, do I have to yield to people turning right into the road going the same direction? A: Those motorists making a U-turn at intersections permitting such actions have the right-of-way over cars making the right hand turn in the scenario provided. Those making the right hand turn have a red light and must yield to all others making a legal turn and/or move.
If you have a question for the Beaverton Car Guy, email popslcf3@hotmail. com or call 503-930-1493 Larryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s specialty is locating cars, even hard to ďŹ nd cars, for everyday folk.

Older Americans Month By Regina Ford
F
rom 83-year-old Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg to 84-year-old actress Rita Moreno to 69-year-old NASA Administrator Charles Bolden, Jr., older Americans exemplify what people can do regardless of age. Older citizens are a growing demographic group and an increasingly vital part of our country. The contributions they make to our communities are varied and LQFOXGH LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQWLDO UROHV LQ SROLWLFV business, economics and the arts. In 1963, we began to acknowledge these contributions by designating the month of May as Older Americans Month. Led by the Administration for Community Living, the annual observance offers the opportunity to learn about, support, and celebrate our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s older people. The 2016 theme
is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blaze a Trail.â&#x20AC;? This theme emphasizes the ways older adults are reinventing themselves through new work and passions, volunteering and blazing a positive trail of LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFH DQG LPSDFW RQ WKH OLYHV RI people of all ages.

Beaverton Education Foundation Helps Get FutureBus on the Road By BEF Staff
C
ould we scale out the excitement of hands-on making experiences to ALL of our Beaverton students? We transformed an old school bus into a time machine that will lead us to the better tomorrow of learning. A mobile makerspace where kids can MAKE and TAKE and BREAK. We need a little more help to get this project “on the road”. The Future Ready team has been diligently working to create a mobile learning space where kids create and experiment with engineering and creative design. The vision is nearly complete thanks to generous donations from First Tech Federal Credit Union, Gallagher Designs, Beaverton School District and many others. We are pleased to announce that Stumptown Coffee and another donor have combined resources to offer a generous fundraising challenge to GET the BUS Rolling. This means a donation to FutureBus is worth twice as much, and will have double the impact. Stumptown Coffee and the donor will donate $10,000 to the FutureBus initiative, via the Beaverton Education Foundation. When we receive $10,000 of donaWLRQV WR XQGHUZULWH WKH ¿QDO GHWDLOV RI WKH FutureBus this will ensure that students at 12 pilot schools (including all of our Camp Achieve summer schools) experience FutureBus this summer. Schools will be equipped and trained to continue the maker movement, students and families will have “Take and Make” home kits to
promote STEAM learning and understand the Future Ready vision. In total, if we meet the challenge, $20,000 will be available to ensure that our Beaverton students and their families can take, make and break things, while learning some STEAM fundamentals and keep on learning all summer long.

eople at the farmers market are all talking about the best sourdough bread in town and here is what they have to say: • I just want to tell you how much we enjoy and appreciate your bread! • Your bread is absolutely amazing! When we saw you at the Gresham Farmers Market on April 18 we bought a loaf of regular, a loaf of jalapeño and a loaf of chocolate. I just made a ham and egg sandwich with the jalapeño and it was soooo good! Fabulous! I doubt I’ll ever be happy with rye again! The jalapeño has just the right DPRXQW RI ÀDYRU WR PDNH P\ sandwich “pop”! • I cannot eat gluten, I suffer big time if I do. This bread although low gluten and not gluten free works for me for some reason. I think its due to the fact that the gluten isn’t GMO as well.

ABOUT THE SHOW: This summer the Experience Theatre Project will be staging our first play, A Midsummer Night's Dream, at the Round in Beaverton. This production will be offered free to the public. The production will include original music, live musicians (harp and flute), professional dancers, and enthusiastic children who enroll in our theater’s summer fairy camp - who will get the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience for the very first time! The production opens June 24 and runs at the Round at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., through July 10.
THE STORY: The play concerns the misadventures and musings of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two minor characters from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet who are childhood friends of the prince, focusing on their actions with the events of Hamlet as background. Hamlet, however, mocks them derisively and outwits them, so that they, rather than he, are executed in the end. Thus, from Rosencrantz’s and Guildenstern’s perspective, the action in Hamlet is largely nonsensical and comical.

Locall Students Took A Break From The Books Aloha Community Farmers L To Learn Some Life-Saving Techniques. Market Opens Thursday May 5 New Farmers Market, to serve Aloha, Reedville, Cooper Mountain and Beyond

T
he American Heart Association, Beaverton School District and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue partnered to teach Five Oaks Middle School students CPR. The seventh and eighth grade students were taught how to recognize an emergency and then how to do hands-only CPR. Hands-only CPR is CPR without mouth-to-mouth breaths. It is recommended for use by people who see someone suddenly collapse in an out-of-hospital setting, such as at home, at work or in a park. High school students volunteered to teach the younger students, stressing the importance of learning how to possibly save someone's life. "It's very rewarding," said Beaverton High School student Sierra Milligan. "It's good to know if my family member did go down somewhere these kids could help." Frank Trujilo with Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue said teaching students how to perform CPR EHQHÂżWV WKH HQWLUH FRPPXQLW\ "It makes it a lot safer knowing that there are lots of kids out there who know how to do CPR and who know how to perform appropriately DQG KDYH WKH FRQÂżGHQFH WR SHUIRUP CPR when needed," he said.

A 7KLV LV WKH ÂżUVW \HDU WKDW Oregon has required students in grades seven through 12 to receive instruction in CPR and the use of AEDs using training developed by the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross or other organizations with nationally recognized training protocols. This training is required to happen as part of health class or physical education class curriculum. Additional training session took place throughout the state of 2UHJRQ )LUHÂżJKWHUV VD\ students in Oregon will learn CPR this year. Experts say every hour in the U.S. approximately 38 people will have a cardiac arrest event outside of the hospital, and nine out of 10
will not survive. CPR has proven to double or even triple a victim's chance of survival.
The free CPR training kits for the Beaverton School District were made possible by funding from the Spirit Mountain Community Fund.
