Message from the Chief Body Cameras By Chief Geoff Spalding

T

he Beaverton Police Department has been awarded a Body-Worn Camera Pilot Implementation Program Grant in the amount of $150,000 for 100 cameras through the U.S. Department of Justice. The $20 million funding was announced in May 2015 as part of President Obama’s commitment to expand funding and training to law enforcement agencies through community policing initiatives and respond to the immediate needs of law enforcement organizations. This grant will help advance and expand the department’s efforts to develop a comprehensive body-worn camera program. We will be serving as a pilot program

for other law enforcement agenFLHV DQG ZLOO IRUZDUG ¿QGLQJV and best practices to the Department of Justice as part of the two year grant. The pilot program will include community engagePHQW GHYHORSPHQW UH¿QHPHQW of body-worn camera policy and procedures; researching, testing, and procuring equipment; deployment of cameras, and program evaluation. The Beaverton Police Department is committed to ensuring continued high-quality service of RXU RI¿FHUV LQFUHDVLQJ WUDQVSDUency and openness with the community, and strengthening trust for the police department. We hope the use of body-worn cameras will help facilitate this commitment. Public outreach and open houses will soon be conducted to solicit input from a broad representation of community members and leaders about the adoption and use of body-worn cameras. Information on the body-worn cameras and opportunities to provide input will soon be posted on the police department’s website and Facebook page.

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!

t the Beaverton City Council meeting on October 13, Beaverton Mayor Denny Doyle accepted an award recognizing the City of Beaverton’s pivotal role in the historic 2015 Tree for All campaign. Last fall, cities and organizations from across Washington County announced their plan to plant one million trees and shrubs in one year, under the slogan, “Tree for All: One Million – One Year – One Water.â€? This VSULQJ WKH ÂżQDO FRXQW VKRZHG WKDW the partnership had blasted past its original goal, planting more than two million native plants in less than a year. Extensive overlap exists between the goals of Tree for All and those of the City of Beaverton. Beaverton is known for its livability, including a vast amount of green space and a commitment to “keep Beaverton tree-friendly.â€? Since 2005, Tree for All has planted more than 225,000 native plants in Beaverton. Plantings and related projects have taken place

at Barrows Meadow, in Murrayhill, along Beaverton Creek between 114th and 117th, and at other locations. “Thanks to partners like the City of Beaverton,â€? said Clean Water Services’ Watershed Management Director Bruce Roll. “Tree for All has restored more than 100 miles of streamside habitat in the past decade. Think about driving all the way to Astoria, through a corridor of native trees and shrubs,â€? Roll said. “That’s how much has been done in that period of time.â€? In addition to thanking Mayor Doyle for his leadership and commitment, Roll also called attention to several of the many City of Beaverton staff who have made possible the success of Tree for All. They include Mel Schultz and Terry Priest from Public Works; Holly Thompson in the Mayor’s 2IÂżFH 'DYH :DIĂ€H $VVLVWDQW Finance Manager; and David Donaldson, Public Works Director. “The City of Beaverton is proud to be a partner of the Tree for All campaign,â€? said Mayor Denny Doyle. “Our residents care about preserving our trees and creeks--this is just one way that we can keep our air and water clean, and our state green.â€?

ver the past few months, the Sustainability Program has been working hard to create %HDYHUWRQœV ¿UVW FRPPXQLW\ ZLGH greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory comparison for years 2008 and 2013. A GHG is an emission inventory that looks at the amount of pollutants we discharge into the atmosphere – both natural and human-caused. The key emission this inventory looks at is carbon dioxide – the primary GHG released into the atmosphere mainly from the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are burned through human activities such as driving your car and heating your home. By tracking the community’s

emissions, we can pinpoint what sectors account for the highest emissions – whether it be transportation, industrial energy use, or another area. Through collecting WKLV GDWD RQ VSHFL¿F VHFWRUV ZH can identify our priority areas of focus and create goals and actions that are founded on concrete GHG emissions data. So what can you do to help? There are a variety of ways you can make a difference as an individual. One way of reducing your own GHG emissions at home is by

rene' Brown, a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work concludes "Vulnerability - the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome - is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity and joy". We live in a vulnerable society, she says, noting that we are the most in debt, over weight, addicted and medicated group of adults in U.S. History. As a group of people we are uncomfortable with emotions so we try and numb them with substances, behaviors or attitudes. Over the past two decades, the use of antidepressants has skyrocketed. One in 10 Americans now takes an antidepressant medication; among women in their 40s and 50s, WKH ÂżJXUH LV RQH LQ IRXU The problem is, when we distance ourselves from upsetting emotions, by creating a coping mechanisms, we also distance ourselves from uplifting emotions. When you try and shut down negative feelings like sadness and

grief, you also shut down positive emotions like joy and happiness. When we don't feel joy and happiness we feel vulnerable and then we go back to our coping mechanisms, it becomes a dangerous cycle. You cannot selectively shut down emotions. If you develop a coping mechanism to deal with your fears you have also put your true joy on hold.

Below is Portland General Electric’s (PGE) green power calculator. This tool allows you to calculate what it would cost your household to switch to renewable energy. The example below shows that for a household that pays $77.32 per month for its energy bill can switch to renewable energy for only an additional $5.61 per month! Small actions make a big difference.

J

oel Kent, a young man who experiences autism, is in his last year of his transition program at Sherwood High School. An avid fan of books, superheroes, and Star Wars, he has a wealth of pop culture trivia memorized. His Personal Agent, Sue Switzer of Self Determination Resources, Inc. and his Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, Jessica Atalla, turned to Dirkse CC to help Joel transition from school to

successful employment. Working with Nicole Turner-Biesel of Dirkse CC, Joel went through the Discovery process to find out what kind of job would match his passions. Nicole found Big Al’s in Beaverton - a family fun environment where everyone in the community can come to have fun. They were supportive of a Job Shadow and Work Experience. Complete with food, game arcades, and bowling, the team at Big Al’s is inclusive. They were willing to “carve� a position for Joel in their company. A job carve allows a company to be more productive by creating

jobs with duties that make the most of individual skills. “Disabilities are not an inability to work and give back. We give people a chance to contribute to their community, gain H[SHULHQFH DQG EXLOG FRQÂżGHQFH in themselves,â€? says hiring manager Jillian O’Dell.

A fan of video games, as a part of his work in the arcade he helps test games by playing them, to make sure they work correctly. “I just really like it here,� says Joel.

If leaves and needles are an ongoing issue, this is a great time to install some sort of gutter protection system, as well.

Popular for it’s rarity and luster it has been used as a form of payment and ornaments since Egyptian times. In it’s purest form gold is easily worked and shaped into every thing from coins to jewelry. Very early on it was alloyed (mixed)

with other metals to improve the durability of jewelry made from it. Gold is the most easily worked of all metals and ranges in softness based on its purity. Generally pure gold is too soft for use in jewelry, so it’s commonly mixed with alloy metals such as copper and zinc. Below is a breakdown of the percentage of pure gold in each of the popular karat weights: • 24 Karat: 99.9% Pure • 22 Karat: 91.7% Pure • 18 Karat: 75% Pure • 14 Karat: 58.3% Pure • 12 Karat: 50% Pure • 10 Karat: 41.7% Pure

Pure gold is a wonderful deep yellow naturally. The other colors of gold are a matter of alloying pure gold to achieve different colors and durability. White Gold Jewelry combines pure gold with other white metals, such as zinc, nickel, platinum and silver. Durable and resistant to tarnish, White Gold jewelry can be brittle and may require rhodium plating to achieve a very silvery color.

THPRD has jumped on a Âżtness trend that provides Elsie Stuhr Center patrons and other area residents an opportunity to get Âżt while enjoying the outdoors. In August, a Life Fitness “training stationâ€? was installed in the park behind the Stuhr Center (5550 SW Hall Blvd, Beaverton). The apparatus resembles a giant play structure, with eight stations to accommodate circuit training for anyone who wants to tone their physique in a pleasant outdoor setting. The structure is the Âżrst of its kind in the park district. www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

SatterÂżeld said. “The added dimension of environmental wellness only enhances our program offerings.â€? Novak said she initially saw the equipment demonstrated at a National Recreation and Parks Association conference last year. She suggested it to the Stuhr Center Advisory Committee for funding consideration. “They thought it was a great idea,â€? she said. So great, in fact, that they contributed $16,500 of the $41,500 total cost for equipment and installation.

“There’s something to climb on, something to do pull-ups on, something to do abdominal exercises on; it covers a big footprint,â€? said Lisa Novak, THPRD superintendent of Programs & Special Activities and Stuhr Center supervisor. The apparatus, which opened to the public on Aug. 31, has visual instructions to help new users. Those who are savvy with technology can scan QR codes with their smartphone for detailed instructions. Novak expects the new attraction to provide community beneÂżt to older adults at the Stuhr Center and students at nearby Pilgrim Lutheran School, as well as park neighbors in the densely populated central Beaverton district. “It’s for everyone, and we’re hoping it will be highly used,â€?

Feminism: F emiin End the Misinterpretation Musings of a Beaverton Teen By Emery Hanel (11th Grade)

I

n 1995, Hillary Clinton gave a speech to the United Nations. She gave them this statement: “I believe that, on the eve of a new millennium, it is time to break our silence,� she said. “It is time for us to say here in Beijing, and the world to hear, that it is no longer acceptable to discuss women’s rights as separate from human rights. If there is one message that echoes forth from this conference, it is that human rights are women’s rights. And women’s rights are human rights.� And so came this idea: “I’m not a feminist because I don’t hate men.�

Beaverton teens, how many times have you heard this? If the answer is even once, it’s already too many. Feminism is easily one of the most misunderstood concepts in society today. So many of our community and communities all around the globe have this false concept of what feminism actually is and confuse it with misandry, or the hatred of males. Feminism is the belief and willingness to advocate for gender equality- which doesn’t just mean campaigning for equal pay and representation for women. It also means combating stigmas that leave the male demographic feeling like they have to conform to certain stereotypes because of their gender, such as the notion that men should be dominant and never display

VHQVLWLYLW\ ,W ÂżJKWV WKH LPDJH WKDW PHQ FDQÂśW EH LQ WKH ÂżHOG RI IDVKLRQ or nursing and that women belong in the kitchen. As the youth of today’s world, it’s our responsibility to raise awareness and end the negative connotation that comes with the term “feministâ€?. So many people have no idea what a feminist actually is- there is even a Facebook page for “Women Against Feminismâ€? and one for the “Meninistâ€? movement, which completely illustrates how much our population doesn’t know about the notions of feminism. A huge misconception about feminism is that if you’re of the male demographic, you cannot be a feminist– which is not at all the case. Popular singer John Legend, said this truth at the charity

concert Sound For Change Live: “All men should be feminists. If men care about women’s rights, the world will be a better place. We are better off when women are empowered– it leads to a better society.� And he’s right! Feminism has furthered the civil rights movement, shed light on the institutionalized gender discrimination in the world, gathered an army against the perpetuation of rape culture, and exposed how much sexual harassment is ignored. Feminism has given many who were once silenced a voice, and provided inspiration for many. Feminism has also drawn attention to respecting of the rights of domestic workers and expressed the need for equal pay. In her article for The Huffington Post, Why We Still Need

Feminism, freelance writer and editor Casey Cavanagh wrote powerfully, “Being a feminist does not mean you think women can’t speak for themselves, it means you realize that, even though some may be lucky enough to, there’s still many who can’t. It is not a gender issue– it is a humanity issue.�

Front-wheel drive Most passenger vehicles on the road today use front-wheel drive (FWD), where the engine’s power is routed to the front wheels. In fact, all but a handful of SUVs are primarily FWD vehicles, with additional components that send some power to the rear wheels as the need arises. FWD designs are cheaper to manufacture and PRUH VSDFH HI¿FLHQW WKDQ UHDU drive systems. Plus, FWD has the added advantage of better traction while climbing hills because the engine’s weight is poised over the front wheels. From a packaging standpoint, front-drive also precludes the need for a space-robbing driveline hump running down WKH PLGGOH RI WKH FDELQ ÀRRU Rear-wheel drive Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is commonly found on pickups and old-school truck-based SUVs, along with sports cars and highperformance and luxury sedans. For trucks, RWD allows the use of bulky, heavy-duty components, and it provides better traction with a hefty load. On a performance car, rear-wheel-drive improves handling by balancing the car’s weight more evenly front to rear. And because the front wheels don’t have to do double duty—both driving and steering—designers can optimize the suspension for handling prowess. However, RWD provides less traction on slippery roads. These days, most high-end cars offer all-wheel drive either standard or as an option.

By BPD Staff B S ff

With the Beaverton Police Department

By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Loyal Beaverton Readers! ne of our Beaverton Residents has written me an email asking why there are so many different drive systems on today’s vehicles and which one is best for their driving? Here is some research I have gathered to answer those questions.

Traffic Q&A:

All-wheel drive As the name implies, all-wheel drive (AWD) feeds power to each corner. Depending on the system, AWD can provide maximum forward traction during acceleration. It is especially helpful in sloppy road conditions and when driving over moderate off-road terrain. It can help get you going and keep you moving through mud, sand, and other loose surfaces. Most AWD systems deliver power primarily to one set of wheels, front or rear. When slippage is detected at one axle, power is diverted to WKH RWKHU D[OH LQ KRSHV RI ¿QGLQJ more traction there. Not all AWD systems are equal. Subaru’s AWD system always directs at least 20-percent of the engine’s power to the rear, and it can direct a larger amount aft if needed. Many other systems ¿WWHG WR IURQW ZKHHO GULYH YHKLFOHV operate with 100 percent of the power normally going to the front wheels; the rear wheels then only receive power only when the front wheels start slipping. AWD systems are especially helpful in rapidly changing conditions or when driving on a road with intermittent snow and ice. It is commonly used for car-based SUVs, as well as certain cars and minivans. Four-wheel drive Although four-wheel drive (4WD) and AWD are designations that are often used interchangeably in advertising and sales literature, there is a difference. Generally, 4WD is optimized for severe offroad driving situations such as climbing over boulders, fording

deep water, and tackling steep hills with loose, low-traction surfaces. Most 4WD systems have high and a low gear range, the latter used to increase low-speed climbing power. Some have differentials (which allow left and right wheels and front and rear axles to turn at different speeds) to be locked for maximum traction. Modern 4WD systems are either 1) full-time, which means they stay engaged; 2) automatic, where the vehicle automatically switches between two- and four-wheel-drive mode; and 3) part-time, which require the driver to manually shift between two- and four-wheel drive. Vehicles with a part-time system shouldn’t be driven on dry pavement when in 4WD mode, which could risk damage to the vehicle’s drivetrain. Aside from serious off-road enthusiasts, most drivers never come close to needing the capability that 4WD systems provide over and above AWD systems. In fact many consumers that purchase Four wheel drive vehicles, never use the 4x4.

A: It is appropriate to refer to uniformed ofďŹ cers as “OfďŹ cerâ€?, plain clothes detectives as “Detectiveâ€?, striped supervisors as “Sergeantâ€?, Single bar supervisors as “Lieutenantâ€? and double bar supervisors as “Captainâ€?.

Q:

Does the BPD have any internship opportunities for high schoolers?

A: Unfortunately, the department does not have any opportunities for grade school students.

Q:

When do you have to stop for pedestrians? I was driving down Hall Blvd at 40mph with cars ahead and behind when I notice a person wanting to cross at Cresmoor Dr. There is no crosswalk. Do I stop? A: In this scenario you are stating that someone is on Hall and Cresmoor wanting to cross. According to the law (811.028: Failure to stop and remain stopped for pedestrian), this is called an unmarked crosswalk because it’s at an intersection but is not controlled by painted crosswalk lines or a pedestrian signal. Regardless of how many lanes of travel there are, if the pedestrian steps off the curb onto any part of the roadway including the bike lane and his/her intent, meaning trying to make eye contact with drivers, stepping more into the roadway, leaning forward as if they are intending to cross then trafďŹ c must stop and yield right of way. Most drivers don’t understand this law because there are not crosswalk lines or pedestrian signals to direct drivers but at any intersection even if it’s a “Tâ€? intersection with no markings trafďŹ c is required to yield. Hope this helps. I know it’s confusing and most driver’s aren’t fully aware of their duty to yield to pedestrians.

Q:

I’m stopped in a left hand turn lane showing a red arrow but change my mind and want to continue straight ahead. If the road is clear and the light is still green, can I merge into the lane to my right and go straight?

If you have a question for the Beaverton Car Guy, email popslcf3@hotmail. com or call 503-930-1493

A: You can’t go straight because you would have had to signal the lane change for at least 100 feet before you did it and one could argue that once you are in the left turn lane you are committed to making that turn.

elcoming November and with it, National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that is thought to manifest from a combination of genetic, HQYLURQPHQWDO DQG OLIHVW\OH LQĂ€Xences. According to the National Institute on Aging, it is estimated that 5 million Americans have Alzheimer’s and with people living longer we can anticipate that number to continue to rise. One of the challenges with Alzheimer’s Disease is that there are no “rulesâ€? per se. Like many diseases/ailments, there are standards in care and practices one can take to help manage symptoms and progression. The dilemma with

Alzheimer’s Disease is that it is so individualized. It is unpredictable how a person will progress as they go through the stages. Typical behavioral symptoms of Alzheimer’s include forgetfulness, confusion, LQVRPQLD ZDQGHULQJ GLIÂżFXOW\ ÂżQGLQJ VLPSOH ZRUGV DQ[LHW\ loss of initiative, poor judgment, misplacing things and changes in behaviors and change in personality. It is possible someone’s personality can change dramatically for example, someone who was soft spoken and empathetic suddenly turn aggressive and disagreeable. Strive to keep in mind, the “realityâ€? that a person with Alzheimer’s is living in, may not be accurate, or make sense, but it is their current reality. It’s important to remember that the disease, not the person with Alzheimer’s, causes these changes. Communicating with a loved one who has

Alzheimer’s can be challenging but there are ways to make it easier and satisfying. Take away the phrase, “Don’t you remember?� because if they did, they wouldn’t ask. Keep questions simple and short and talk slowly and clearly. Take away distractions in the background such as music, television or radio and look them in the eyes. Contact your local Alzheimer’s Association for more information on how you and a loved one can live through Alzheimer’s Disease.

The station will respond to an estimated 1,300 incidents annually and service nearly 6,000 addresses. “Providing fast and reliable emergency medical service to the Raleigh Hills community is my top priority for this station,� said Station 70 Capt. Patrick Fale. “A high volume of calls in this area result in patient care for chest pain, falls, motor vehicle accidents, and breathing problems. These are serious medical issues — ones that we want to get to quickly and mitigate the progression of whatever is happening with the patient.� The new station operates during peak incident hours Tuesday through Friday from 7 a.m. to

5 p.m. Outside of these hours, neighboring TVF&R Stations 53 and 65 will respond to emergency service calls. This project was one of many partially funded by a $77.5 million general obligation

Welcoming Three New Harbor Seals

T

hree new harbor seals arrived at the Oregon Zoo last month, and visitors can now see the playful pinnipeds diving through the clear waters of the zoo’s recently refurbished Steller Cove. The new arrivals are an 8-year-old male named Tongass, an 11-year-old female named Atuun and her 4-month-old pup, Kaya, all from the Alaska SeaLife Center in Seward, Alaska. Their large, round, soulful-looking eyes (adapted for underwater sight) call to mind a Margaret Keane painting come to life. Harbor seals have spotted coats WKDW DUH DV XQLTXH DV KXPDQ ÂżQJHUprints and can range in color from silvery white to brownish black. Visitors can tell the three new arrivals apart as follows. • Tongass has a gray-brown coat with dark spots covering his back, and fewer spots on his ventral side. He has a broad face with wide-set eyes, and a large spot under his right eye. • Atuun (her name is an Alutiiq word for “songâ€?) has a

Walker’s Department Store Local History: Our Town - Our Story By Ann Koppy, BHSoc Historian

W

hen Donald Nelson Walker opened a department store on Broadway Street in Beaverton’s downtown commercial core, a few locals thought he wouldn’t succeed. They said the town of slightly more than 1,000 population was too small to support such a big establishment. The pessimists were wrong. His idea came

at the right time in the right place. Starting in the mid-1850s, nearly every town and city would eventually have a locally-owned, centrally-located department store that dominated big-city life and anchored small town business districts. Mass merchandising retailers began in New York City as a new type of merchant that combined specialized departments and no-haggle pricing, free delivery, and showcased an escalator or elevator. When Walker set up shop, consumers in the Beaverton area had to travel to Lipman,

Wolfe & Company and Meier and Frank in downtown Portland for major purchases. Don Walker was born in Multnomah County in 1916, the grandson of Oregon pioneers. After graduating from Beaverton High School, he launched his merchandising career as a buyer for Lipman, Wolfe. He recognized that the main street of a small town was the center of commercial and social life where businesses were close together, supporting a wide-ranging mixture of shops and services. Here were

By assisting people enroll through the Federal Marketplace, I helped them qualify for premium tax credit, or subsidy, making it affordable to purchase a health insurance plan they could never afford in the past. I then watched them obtain services for medical problems that were previously unattended. On the negative side, the Federal Government believes you can afford to spend 10% of your monthly income on your health insurance plan. I have agonized with those clients that because their employer does not offer health coverage, and they make just enough not to qualify for premium subsidy, that it’s become a hardship to purchase their own health plan.

My father, who is still practicing, opened his own pharmacy in 1958 and my grandfather & uncle also owned multiple pharmacies all in New Mexico and Oklahoma.

with no wholesale clients, but had a goal and were determined to succeed. They knew if they can just get the consumer to try their product and see the price, they’d be hooked. They joined a few local farmers markets in Portland, OR. The response they got from customers on the quality of their fruit and the prices they sold them at, Ryan and Shane knew they were on to something. Gradually they picked up a few wholesale clients that then referred other clients and ProFarm Produce began to grow! Now, Ryan and Shane have bigger trucks, 20 farmers markets in the Portland area, more wholesale clients, and expanding to the Seattle market. They started with a dream and goal of cutting out the middle man and being a direct wholesaler to the retailer and consumer. They knew that not only would the fruit be fresher, but they would have the capability of selling their product at a MUCH lower cost. Thus far, we’re on our way to reaching our goals, and we’ve become a dream come true for our customers.

roFarm Produce is a wholesale fruit and produce company that was founded by two brothers, Ryan and Shane Stonemetz, in the summer of 2008. Ryan and Shane are fourth generation farmers that had no desire of taking over the family business. They grew up watching their father and grandfather work hard every minute of everyday just to stress and wonder if the fruit warehouses controlling the market would pay enough to not only cover the expenses for the previous year, but also enough to provide for their family! So, Ryan and Shane both went to college DQG JUDGXDWHG LQ UHVSHFWHG ÂżHOGV Ryan living in Portland, and Shane living in Seattle, couldn’t believe the markup in prices of fruit from what the farmer got to what it was sold for in the stores. They were distraught knowing that their family puts in all the hard work, the expenses, the stress and pressure of growing high-quality fruit just to be underpaid and unappreciated by the “middlemanâ€? and retailers! This is when ProFarm Produce was born. Ryan and Shane left everything they had going for them, bought a little 12-foot reefer truck and loaded it up with organic cherries. They took off to Portland, OR

But neither man is defined solely by their extremist views. Ahmed, posing as a doctor, lives happily with his wife and young son; though David’s marriage is on the rocks, he remains devoted to his wife and daughter. With time running out before the attack, David zeros in on Ahmed as a suspect, his investigation culminating in violent, if unexpected, consequences.

MAINTAIN! GROW! THRIVE! hey are shaking things up in the transportation world, and maybe that’s a good thing! So you need a ride. You’re travelling on business, you’re out on vacation, or maybe it’s a night around town with friends and you don’t want to drive. In the past, if you needed a lift, your choice was a taxi or a town car. Now you have more choices! For many, it’s not a choice. Uber, or other ride sharing options like Lyft are the way to go. Maybe, Taxi and other transportation services rested on their laurels, and being the only games in town too long. Why Uber? Know that I am not anti-taxi‌BUT, Uber (and other ride share options) are newer, faster, more convenient and cheaper. People are talking them up like you can’t believe. A client of mine took a vacation recently and used Uber both in Portland and his vacation site and loved it.

Just 18 months ago, the ride sharing industry had an anemic 8% usage rate with business travelers. Now, it is 2nd only to car rental companies, which is 44%. WOW! We all like to save $$...but here are some other cool Uber features: UBER is faster. It is easy. You simply set it up, order your ride and click pay. No need to pull your wallet out and use cash or card. Uber shows you an onscreen map of what Uber drivers are nearby, and they send you an alert who your driver will be, his/ her name and rating and how long until they arrive. Sound familiar? Customers want speed, service and like to save $$. Throw in easy to use features and it gets better. My points today are: BE FRESH, BE EXCITING, BE FAST, BE CONVENIENT, BE AWESOME!
