The race is charting new territory with its route throughout Beaverton featuring a unique mix of modern urban landscaping and ancient natural areas. This fast, scenic course begins at Southridge High School, then travels through the Greenway neighborhood and up Hall Boulevard toward the south edge of Old Town Beaverton. Then, runners will make their way to the Fanno &UHHN *UHHQZD\ 7UDLO DQG ÂżQDOO\

#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!

DIY Suet Cakes for Birds By Anne Harris

Uh-Oh. n spite of coupons from the Beaverton stores that carry them and my affection for our avian diners, I ran out of suet cakes recently. Fortunately, I’d heard they can be made at home using pantry staples most people already have. A little research taught me a lot. A perfectly suitable suet cake requires just three ingredients, fat, protein and grain, in a ratio of one part rendered beef fat, one part chunky peanut butter, two parts instant oatmeal and two parts yellow cornmeal. Other nutritious odds and ends like fruit, nuts, vegetables, seeds, and even cheese may be added unless they’re so far gone you wouldn’t eat them yourself. Warm the fat and peanut butter in a saucepan, stir in the other ingredients gradually, knead well, press the “doughâ€? into a container DQG IUHH]H XQWLO ÂżUP ‡ Tip #1: The plastic trays from store-bought suet cakes hold one cup. ‡ Tip #2: Coat your hands with non-stick cooking spray before kneading.

ere in the northwest squirrels are one of the most common form of backyard wildlife and many people enjoy feeding squirrels to get a better look at the playful antics and acrobatic activities that make them a delight to watch. Unfortunately, just like other forms of wildlife, squirrels can cause serious damage to your home and can become pests in urban and suburban environments. To make your home less hospitable to squirrels looking for a place to spend the winter and have their young in the spring, follow these tips: ‡ Squirrels only need an opening the size of a tennis ball to squeeze into a cavity. Have visual inspections of your home done regularly. ‡ Repair water damaged, rotten or broken wood that can allow squirrels to enter your attic. ‡ Keep rain gutters clear to avoid water damage to facia boards. Water damaged wood is easy for squirrels to gnaw through. ‡ Prune all trees so they do not

touch your home or hang over within 10 feet of the roof. ‡ 0DNH VXUH DOO \RXU DWWLF VRI¿W and roof vents are screened. Make sure attic vents are screened with heavy duty screen material to prevent squirrels from entering. ‡ Refrain from feeding squirrels close to the house. Protect your backyard bird feeders with squirrel proof devices. ‡ Note: If squirrels have already nested in your attic and have young, you remove them, or must wait until they leave before doing any exclusion work so as not to trap them in the attic. Exclusion work to your attic will also help in keeping other rodents and birds out of your attic.

For further information and help with inspections, and exclusion work on your home please call Guaranteed Pest Control Service Co. a family owned local company here in Beaverton since 1949.

What Are Universal Precautions And Why Should You Use Them? By Rhonda Kay Leonard

H

ave you heard the term universal precautions? Universal Precautions are guidelines healthcare professionals follow to prevent the spread of infecWLRQ LQFOXGLQJ LQÀXHQ]D DQG RWKHU airborne diseases. It simply means using precautions when handling EORRG DQG RWKHU ERG\ ÀXLGV RI ALL persons regardless of one’s knowledge of whether or not the SHUVRQ LV LQIHFWHG ZLWK D VSHFL¿F communicable disease. Being aware of Universal Precautions guidelines will protect you and result in fewer illnesses for you and the people you care for. What Precautions Must I Take In Caring For Someone? 1. Wash your hands with soap and running water at regular times during your day. Common infectious diseases may be contracted from dirt and waste encountered in the home environment. When

caring for a friend or family member promptly remove another person’s blood and body wastes from your skin by washing with soap and running water. Wash your hands before and after preparing food, performing personal care and housecleaning tasks, and after physical contact with the one you’re caring for. 2. Avoid punctures with objects that contain blood of others. 3. +DQGOH $// ÀXLG GLVFKDUJHV particularly urine, vaginal secretions, mucous, or blood, wearing protective equipment, including mask, gloves, gown and eye protection. Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water when ¿QLVKHG 4. Carefully dispose of trash that contains body wastes and sharp objects. Use special containers with plastic liners for disposal of refuse that contains blood or for any body spills that may contain blood. 5. Wash soiled laundry in a washer set on HOT, and dry

them in a dryer at HIGH heat. 6. For disposal of sharp objects such as razors, use containers that cannot be broken or penetrated. Do not bend, break or recap needles. Handle diabetes lancets with caution to avoid needle sticks. 7. Clean surfaces that have blood RU ERG\ ÀXLGV FRQWDLQLQJ EORRG in them with a 1:10 solution of bleach and water mixed fresh daily. Wash dishes and utensils in hot, soapy water. Rinse in very hot water, let them air dry. Since the majority of all care is provided by informal caregivers, we encourage everyone to be aware of universal precautions and use them to protect the one’s you love.

Long Term Care Ombudsmen dsmen By Sally Carter

Management wouldn’t correct her ELOOV VR VKH FRQWDFWHG WKH FHUWL¿HG ombudsman volunteer assigned to the facility, who worked with the woman, her family, and the administrator until the bills were corrected and over $3,000 repaid. A man’s wife had been left in a nursing home’s malfunctioning Hoyer lift (used to move her in and out of bed) because the lone staffer that night wasn’t strong enough to

work the override switch. So he contacted the ombudsman volunteer assigned there, who persisted until the administrator agreed to assign enough staff each shift to ensure safe use of the lift. Residents’ concerns range from lukewarm coffee to more serious issues (such as physical abuse, life-threatening medication errors, threatened eviction, or attempts to disregard their civil rights) which can have profound effects on their well-being. Unfortunately, Washington County currently has just 16 volunteers to cover its 325 licensed long-term care facilities.

Future synthetic ďŹ eld at Cedar Hills Park to be named for Bruce Dalrymple by Bob Wayt

L

ook around the Beaverton area today and you’ll ¿nd 10 synthetic turf ¿elds in use, with three more to be added this year. But it wasn’t so long ago there were none. Until Bruce Dalrymple came along. His interest in synthetics started in the 1980s when he was a volunteer coach. And when he became a THPRD board member – from 1997 to 2006 – it gave him the platform to convince others the investment would be worth it. That foresight is a major reason the district will name the future athletic ¿eld at Cedar Hills Park in honor of Dalrymple, whose life was cut short by cancer at age 58. The board of directors approved

the staff recommendation on March 14. “Bruce S. Dalrymple Fieldâ€? will be part of a major redevelopment of the park beginning next year (completion is scheduled for the winter of 2019-20). The surface will be synthetic – a Âżtting tribute to a man passionate about turf. “He coached several of the sports teams I played on,â€? recalled Brian Dalrymple, one of Bruce’s three sons. “We spent a lot of hours on grass Âżelds that were (difÂżcult) to play on and maintain due to the weather in this region. Turf Âżelds were the logical progression.â€? Although leadership on synthetics is what he may be remembered for most at THPRD, his legacy runs much deeper. He helped implement the district’s

1994 bond measure, which led to the Tualatin Hills Athletic Center, Conestoga Recreation & Aquatic Center, and the Tualatin Hills Nature Center. He had a hand in the district’s ¿rst skate park and dog park and advocated for a

partnership with PCC Rock Creek that resulted in the 32-acre sports complex there. Remarkably, Dalrymple’s community service extended well beyond the park district. Dalrymple left the THPRD Board in 2006 to become a Beaverton city councilor, a post he held until his death in 2010. He also served on the Washington County Planning Commission and was a longtime successful businessman and Beaverton Rotarian. “Bruce saw things from the 40,000-foot level,� said Beaverton Mayor Denny Doyle. “He was the consummate get-it-done kind of person.�

By Curves/Jenny Craig

F

ruit and vegetables are fun to use when they’re fresh, ripe and in-season, but there may be times when you’ve either bought too many to use or continue to buy so many delicious items that some get left to the wayside to spoil. Here are some of the best fruits and veggies that last in your fridge and/or pantry: Fruits that last ‡ Apples (up to 2 weeks in refrigerator) ‡ Canned/frozen fruit (up to 2-3 months) ‡ Lemons (1-2 months in refrigerator) ‡ Oranges (2-3 weeks in refrigerator) ‡ Watermelon (up to 2 weeks) Vegetables that last ‡ Beets (up to 2 weeks) ‡ Cabbage (up to 2 weeks or longer in refrigerator)

‡ Canned/frozen vegetables (up to 2-3 months) ‡ Carrots (2-3 weeks in refrigerator) ‡ Celery (1-2 weeks in refrigerator) ‡ Garlic (2-3 months in a cool, dry area) ‡ Onions (4 weeks or longer) ‡ Potatoes (4 weeks or longer) ‡ Turnips (up to 4 weeks) ‡ Winter squash, such as pumpkin, butternut squash, etc. (up to 3 months) Keep in mind how you store these items, too. Carrots in bags can have an extended shelf life by placing a paper towel in the bag to absorb excess moisture. Apples

should be placed in a plastic bag in the fruit crisper section of your refrigeration and away from vegetables, since the ethylene gas apples produce makes produce ripen faster. Finding fruits and veggies like the ones listed above allows you to enjoy these items for weeks to come, and not have to worry about replenishing them with every trip to the grocery store.

Trade In or Sell? What Should I Do With My Old Car? By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Beaverton Readers! his month’s article is about trade in value. In today’s market, dealerships advertise low prices on their inventory to entice customers to come in. If they advertise vehicles at a huge discount there are only two ways they will be able to make money: 1. 7KH ¿UVW ZD\ LV WR 8 $ 8QGHU Allow) the value for your trade in. 2. The second way is to sell backend products such as an extended warranty, paint and fabric sealants, maintenance contracts, and so on and so on.

Trade in or Sell?

of what their trade in is worth. The problem is, if we look up Kelley Blue Book online, it gives a value on a car, not our car. Since websites do not ask for a VIN#, the value is just rough idea. This uncertainty works in the dealership’s favor as they “under allow� on trade in values. Excuses commonly used to help them lower the value of your trade in include having to: ‡ have the vehicle detailed ‡ steam clean the upholstery and under the hood ‡ buff and wax the exterior

Most of this is done in house, so there is very little cost in respect to their attempt to de-value the trade in. Here are a few more phrases to be wary of: ‡ running it through the shop ‡ need to do a safety inspection ‡ needing to perform necessary repairs and/or servicing All these things the Dealership brings up to de-value our trade in’s. The pros of trading in your old car is convenience. If you are not worried about getting top value and just want to wash your hands of your old car, then yes, a dealership will make the transaction quick and easy. Selling your old vehicle on your own (or with the help of a friend or broker like myself) can however sometimes double the amount of money you get if you

had traded it in to a dealership. Do it yourself and you get top dollar. Pay a modest fee to a broker to do it for you and I bet you’ll still come out way ahead. For example, in the last couple months I helped over 10 Beaverton families with selling their old car with over half, we got nearly double what the Kelley Blue Book trade in value was on their car. The most time consuming part of buying a new or used car can be the negotiation of your old car’s trade in value. Eliminate this and buying your new car becomes that much easier. The National average for time spent in a Dealership to purchase a car is 187 minutes, which is a bit over 3 hours. My recommendation is to cut that down to 90 minutes or less by selling your car on your own before going to the dealership. Less time

at the dealership and more money in your pocket. That sounds like a winning formula to me!

Fall Injuries Are Preventable Safety tips to limit hazards, avoid falls By Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue

A

s people grow older, the consequences of a fall grow more serious. Unintentional 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 crews responded to 4,863 reports of falls within the district’s service area in 2016. “Ground-level falls are one of the most concerning type of mediFDO FDOOV RXU ÂżUHÂżJKWHU SDUDPHGLFV respond to because we know many of our elders struggle to recover from them,â€? states Cassandra Ulven with TVF&R. “Most falls happen in the home and can be avoided.

“Factors such as poor lighting, narrow stairs, and slippery surfaces can increase the chances of a fall. In addition, problems with glare, depth perception, tiredness or dizziness from prescription medications contribute to falls.â€? 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. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue reminds seniors and children of older adults to take the following precautions to help prevent a fall injury: Take Care of Yourself Get regular medical check-ups and talk to your doctor to ensure appropriate levels and types of medication.

Mental Health: Let’s Talk About It By Emery Hanel (12th Grade)

M

ay is Mental Health Awareness Month. It has been observed in the United States for nearly 60 consecutive years and was instituted to shed light on symptoms of mental illness in an effort to aid individuals in recognizing warning signs and addressing the condition before it becomes severe. This year’s focus is on factors that put individuals at risk for developing mental health problems, including but not limited to risky sexual activity, substance abuse, internet and video game addiction, money mismanagement, poor eating habits, and poor exercise habits. The mission of “Mental Health America� (MHA) is to “educate the public on habits and behaviors that increase the risk of developing or exacerbating mental illnesses�, and Mental Health Awareness Month is a massive

part of their campaign against the negative stigmatizations of mental illness. MHA’s goals are shared with similar groups such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), a group dedicated to changing how the majority of the world perceives mental illness. The negative stereotypes associated with mental illness impact their ability to be hired, acquire safe housing, be given responsibility, make friends, and their likelihood of criminalization. Because of this, those suffering from mental illness oftentimes choose WR LJQRUH WKHLU DIÀLFWLRQ LQ IHDU RI being affected by the symptoms and never meet with a mental health professional to receive the assistance they need. Without support and in some cases, without the necessary medications, these individuals are unable to recover from their mental illness and some even commit

suicide as a consequence. The facts speak for themselves: less than 50% of adult Americans suffering from mental illness receive the treatment they need and, correspondingly, suicide is one of the top ten leading causes of death in the United States. Here is how you can help: ‡ End the taboo on mental illness. Talk about it! Ask about it! Propose solutions for making the world a more tolerable place for those suffering from symptoms of mental illness. ‡ If you hear someone spreading a misconception about mental illness, correct them. Education is the key to inciting change. Advocate for those who are suffering. ‡ Don’t abuse mental illness terminology. For example, a high school teenager is not “psycho� because they acted angrily one time. The weather

is not “bipolar� because it changed quickly. “OCD� is not an adjective– it’s a serious disorder. ‡ Be supportive of individuals suffering from mental illness. Ask them how you can best help them cope with their condition. And most importantly, don’t identify that individual by their mental disorder. Their mental illness is a part of them, but it does not dictate who they are as a person. Listen to them. Encourage them to share their story with others. ‡ Research! Do some reading up on mental illness. Being informed is being an ally to those with mental illness. ‡ Volunteer with Lines for Life or YouthLine as a crisis line responder. Assist others at Albertina Kerr, an organization that helps individual of all ages to cope with developmental disabilities and mental health

challenges. Dedicate your time to providing emotional support to clients through Volunteers of America Oregon. ‡ Most importantly, if you or a friend are in danger of harming yourself or themselves, please don’t hesitate to call the 24/7 national suicide prevention hotline at 1-800-273-TALK ,WœV IUHH LWœV FRQ¿GHQtial, and can connect you with the resources you need.

You Never Know When a Ninja Might Attack By Kaitlin Jenson (Grade 9)

When Anxiety Attacks s I walk into math about to take a test, my heart beats rhythmically, creating a song that only I hear. My heart races EHFDXVH , KDYH P\ ¿UVW PRGXOH test of the year which means today is high stakes, and my anxiety is skyrocketing. Having anxiety means that every aspect of my life is plagued by sometimes exhilarating adrenaline or the opposite with vicious panic attacks and doubt. This can be good and bad. My anxiety has made me a really cautious person, which means sometimes I stop myself from taking risks because I’m scared of the possible rejection or failure that might come from a miscalculation. Anxiety is always changing and creating new forms of itself. One day, I might be anxious about a math test and the next day, I might have convinced myself that D QLQMD LV GH¿QLWHO\ JRLQJ WR DWWDFN me if I get out of my bed or that WKHUH LV GH¿QLWHO\ D FORZQ LQ WKH hallway and I should not go out there and risk my life. This means I am constantly processing and adapting to my anxiety so I can stay on top of it.

A

Restaurants Are Unnecessarily Stressful. I always get really anxious in restaurants. I await my food impatiently, and not because I’m hungry. Because the faster my

food arrives the faster I can leave. Being surrounded by people who are eating means I’m also surrounded by people who could choke on their food or throw up. Just thinking about people choking or throwing up reminds me of when I almost choked when I was younger and it makes my heart pitter patter like rain on a roof. My face heats up like an instant sunburn. I feel sick to my stomach. I eat what I can and get out as quickly as possible. Dread is NOT Fun to Swim In. The feeling that my stomach LV GUDJJLQJ RQ WKH ÀRRU LV HDVily described but hard to see. As with most symptoms of anxiety people can’t see the constant worry or dread that my happy thoughts swim in. A common feeling that is often coupled with anxiety is the intense sensation of dread over doing things, even if they are simple, everyday tasks I’ve done a million times. Sometimes this

Anxiety is Treated Like a Ghost. Anxiety is like a ghost, and just because you can’t see anxiety most of the time that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. While anxiety is seen (or not seen?) as a mostly mental issue it can also have physical repercussions as well. I get debilitating migraines and stomach aches as a result of my incessant anxiety. However, many people experience no physical symptoms which leads to stubborn people refusing to believe anxiety sufferers when they talk about their struggles. This refusal to accept anxiety problems as an issue has led to many people not knowing how to cope, causing them to having unhealthy coping methods to deal with anxiety, possibly leading to more severe anxiety, or panic attacks. There’s Only So Much You Can Do. Breathe in and breathe out. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Breath in, breath out. I can feel

my heartbeat speed up as I try to control my breathing and push away the negative thoughts and DQ[LHW\ WKDW LV QRZ ÂżOOLQJ P\ brain to capacity, pushing out all of the happy thoughts and making my hands shake. I feel the shivers of an oncoming panic attack rise from the back of my neck all the way to the center of my brain as it starts to shut down and the anxiety comes in waves. I try to stop it by controlling my breathing. One . Two. Three. Four. Five. Too late. I uselessly continue breathing and counting, breathing and counting. Eventually after what feels like eternity trapped in my head, I stop shaking and some of the negative, anxious thoughts exit my brain replaced with relief and calm. This is what happens when I have panic attacks. As I move on from my anxiety attack, I wipe dried tears off my face. These panic attacks are a physical and mental occurrence that comes from having anxiety issues. Panic attacks make your heart race and your breathing fast and hard. When I have panic attacks it feels like I am drowning, and trust me I have experience in drowning. They are usually brief, albeit very overwhelming. Despite What My Anxiety Thinks, I Control My Own Life. Sometimes it feels like my emotions are puppets with anxiety as the grand puppeteer, leaving my life in what feels like shambles but what is really just an overdramatic

rough patch. In theory, my brain knows it is in control but constantly needs a reminder to take control back and reign in anxious thoughts. Using techniques like controlled breathing I am able to control my anxiety. When using controlled breathing I count the length of my inhalation and then try to exhale for at least twice as long. This kicks in an automatic response in the brain to calm down, at least according to my therapist.

She will be presenting about the history of Portland from its early days as “the Clearingâ€? which was not even home to the many Indian tribes who populated the lower Columbia and Willamette Rivers. Using an interactive style with the audience Sharon will show how Portland developed into a major city and chief port on the Willamette. She will explore the role of the Oregonian, the Plank road, the impact of the California Gold Rush, and the roots of the entrepreneurial spirit that characterizes the city to this day.

Sharon will be bringing historical artifacts for participants to look at and handle.

ADOPTION PUGSLEY & OPHILIA are two young brown tabby’s, about 8 months, who are a work in progress. They were found at a hoarders home when the police were called 3 months ago. The conditions were horriďŹ c with neglected sick and dying cats living in ďŹ lth, many could not be saved. Pugsley is learning to trust people, allowing some petting, but will need more time to completely adjust. Ophelia is more trusting and is showing her brother people can be trusted. Ophelia was having a bad hair day (they look a like) therefore thought Pugsley’s picture could represent her too. Pugsley and Ophelia will need to be adopted together. They have become more playful and trusting everyday they have been in their loving foster home. Will you be their hero and give them the love and patience they deserve and need to thrive. Pugsley

STAYSHIA: Stayshia is a 3-1/2 yr old female Siamese/Tortoiseshell mix. Got a lap, she is your gal. She loves lap time and any attention you give her, she gets an A+ in purring! Recently she was diagnosed as deaf, we already knew she had a slight neurologi-

Stayshia

cal problem, her head ‘bobbles’ when she gets stressed or confused. Some times people think she looks like a bobble head doll when that happens. We believe her deafness, coupled with her neuro issue, was caused by a head trauma at some point in her early years. At her recent visit to the Vet we were told she is in very good health. Her foster mom tells people she is a sweet and loving kitty and calls her a perfect house guest. Now that she feels safe she is coming out from underneath furniture and learning to play. Paper sacks is her favorite. It appears she was never allowed off the oor so it has taken her a while to trust that she has permission to sleep on the furniture. She started with her foster moms favorite chair so she would be ready for lap time. Her next favorite thing to do, when she doesn’t have your lap available, is watch neighborhood cats, dogs and lots of birds from the balcony. Stayshia was initially rescued from ‘a “killâ€? shelter in Eastern Oregon. She lived there in a foster home for 6 months until Core Paws arranged transport to Beaverton so she had a better chance of ďŹ nding a forever home. She

Sugarcane

now lives in another foster home waiting for her forever home. She is a little shy in the beginning but warms up quickly. She would very much like a home of her own that would understand her ‘physical quirks’ and help her blossom into to the kitty we know she can be. SUGARCANE is a 5 yr old female, orange and white DSH. She had a home for three years but got out. After two years she found her way home and discovered she had been replaced with another cat (understandable after 2 years). She now needs to ďŹ nd a new home with fewer cats where she can get the attention she would like. She is very affectionate, likes to play, loves big and small people and has very good house manners. She is indoor only. y

Buddha Kat Winery Packing up the two fat Siamese cats and two kids and leaving cold, dark Alaska I made my way to beautiful Oregon and discovered a winery for sale. Figuring I would save more money owning a winery then buying retail, I jumped with both feet and the two fat cats (hence the name) into professional winemaking.

We have tasting rooms in two of the most beautiful areas of Oregon - Mount Hood and the Oregon Coast. Our main facility and winery is located along Hwy 26 as you’re heading up to Mt. Hood at 17020 Ruben Lane in Sandy, Oregon. Sandy is an excellent jumping off point to enjoy the great outdoors of the Mt Hood area. We also have a tasting room at 37 N. Edgewood in lively downtown Seaside, Oregon, just minutes from the beach.

Mix cereal, nuts, raisins and banana chips together. In saucepan, combine vanilla pudding

We created delicious varietal and fruit wines from the bountiful grapes and fruit of the Columbia and Willamette Valley, Columbia Gorge, and surrounding orchards. Our internationally award-winning wines are unique and retain the characteristic of each fruit we use. Rhubarb, blackberry, raspberry and cherry wines are perennial favorites as well as our more traditional Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Riesling, and Chardonnay. We also make several rich and luxurious fruit port style dessert wines including our 96-point, double-gold awarded, Framboise Chocolate.

My hope is to share my love for Ethiopian food and culture and make it accessible to others whether they are buying online, at a retail store, or getting it straight from “my kitchen” at the Farmers’ Market.

Vendor Guide (Con’t) Our mission is to provide the best and authentic Ethiopian food products. Our ďŹ rst product, “The Original Kulet – Red Pepper Sauceâ€?, is the Ultimate Stew Maker. Eleni’s Kitchen “The Original Kulet – Red Pepper Sauceâ€? is simmered onions, berbere (Ethiopian spiced red chili pepper powder), oil (canola, soybean), garlic, ginger and other spices; it is the base for preparing gourmet lentil, beef, chicken or other types of stews. Our product evokes the traditional, open-ame style of Ethiopian cooking and is rich in exotic aromas.

Green Garden Starts Visit Booth #151

I have worked on sugar and alcohol chemistry for many years. The original plan was to save the world by making clean renewable fuel ethanol from ryegrass and wheat straw. Turns out that the world was not that interested in being saved yet. We’d rather be fracking. Bummer. While sustainable fuels will have to wait, I realized that my skills in fermentation, distillation, and enzymatic carbohydrate chemistry would be very useful in the spirits business (and probably more fun!). Since liqueurs and whiskies have always been my favorites, those are the areas I decided to pursue. My philosophy about liqueurs can be summed up in one word: balance. Like the three legs of a well-balanced stool, essence, spirit, and sweetness are blended to achieve the perfect pitch. Or maybe like facets of a gem that are cut “just soâ€? to achieve brilliance. Anyway, ďŹ nding the right balance is one of the key challenges and rewards of being in the spirits business.

Come visit our booth to ďŹ nd organically and sustainably grown vegetable starts. Our mission is to provide healthy vegetable starts to feed your family from your own piece of earth! Heirloom vegetable starts grown from seed in a hoop house, utilizing organic material and sustainable practices. No pesticides or herbicides, no GMO’s.

The Most Beautiful Library

It’s on You stories, productively and positively fixing average to negative situations... oh... and setting a good example. Yes, it starts and ends with YOU!

COMMUNITY Recently, I was waiting in line, to pay for my merchandise at Dick’s Sporting Goods. By waiting in line, I mean I was only the 2nd of 2 people in line. It was not really a line, and the guy in front of me was almost done paying, so I was just seconds away from checking out. At that point, a blur in a green shirt flew by me, flipped on the light at cash register #2 and excitedly yelled: “I can help you right over here sir!” I gladly stepped up to pay. The green shirted blur was not done with me though. He excitedly asked if I had found everything I was looking for, how was my day, and as I walked out the door, he yelled a THANK YOU for visiting Dick’s and he hoped to see me back soon. Did he mean it? Whether he did or not, he was genuine, kind, engaged...and focused on helping me and making things more convenient. THAT’S A WIN!! In an era of disengaged employees, who are more interested in texting friends, break time, or going home...The Green Blur’s speed, quality of care, and desire to improve my day was a championship move!!

Question: Was the Green Blur’s action average customer service, or above average? Not taking anything away from his service and my nice experience, my contention is it was average service. He did well mind you, but truthfully, he really did was expected of any employee. You see, customer service is (on average) so poor these days, it

Get on the floor, get in front of your customers, get on the phone and set an amazing customer service example. SET THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BAR HIGH!

makes average customer service look like award winning actions. (Note: I will admit, his energy was way above average!!!) When I talk to companies and work teams, one thing I remind them of, is that their competitors’ delivery of poor to status quo service makes it easier than ever to for employees to dazzle your customers with care, love, and service.

REMINDER: STATUS QUO IS THE KILLER OF EXCELLENCE!!

Just like with your kids at home, your employees watch you every single day. You may not know it, but they are watching everything you do! SO... t Be what you want them to be. t Do what you want them to do. t Say what you want them to say. Train, train and keep training! Dazzle your customers! Reward your people for dazzling customers! Get and keep them excited about making your customers’ visit to you the best decision the made that day.

It’s On You!

If you want to thrive, be the best, keep people coming back, grow, and beat the competition...you better BE BETTER than status quo. And it starts with you! Look in the mirror please! If you are happy with your staff’s service performance, don’t stop! Keep training, keep improving, keep improvising, keep rewarding them for a job well done. Keep them excited to make a difference in every customer’s day! If you are not happy with the service your crew is providing... guess what? It’s your fault! It starts with you. It starts with you hiring the right people, training them well, pointing out success

But as he threaded through the line of parked cars to the sidewalk, he noticed caution tape looping several young saplings and iron support beams into a square. Inside lay the body of a woman, not young but youngseeming, blonde but with gray roots. The red liquid pooling around her gave the illusion that her vermillion dress had melted in the summer heat and spilled itself onto the pavement.

rather than the elevator to the third floor, and walked through the grand reading room to the stacks. He then shelved the book he’d been carrying. This was against library policy, but it hardly mattered since the book didn’t belong to the library anyway. He slid a finger down its spine and smiled as he walked away, thinking of the half-torn page inside with the words ‘you’re next’ scrawled across it—this time in red.

He recognized her. She was the American defense attaché to Panama who’d recently been caught up in some sort of scandal, the news said. The adjudicator’s eyes followed the yellow evidence markers past her body to the book laying open just beyond her slack fingers. A half-torn page with the words ‘you’re next’ scrawled in black Sharpie across it flapped limply in the breeze from passing cars.

SHORT FICTION It really was the most beautiful library. Since its groundbreaking and controversial renovation, every wall had turned from stone to glass, which meant the entire city block glowed from sunset until closing. The adjudicator approached the building from the northeast corner of the intersection, crossing with the light and carrying a hardcover volume of Ezra Pound tucked under his arm.

He shook off the image as he pushed through the library door into the voluminous entryway. He took the sculpted stairs
