Once collected, we will be handing them off to three local shelters (Beaverton Salvation Army Veterans and Family Center, Beaverton Union Gospel Women and Children Shelter, and Portland Police Sunshine Division) for them to distribute to men, women, and children in need. Also from November 9 through December 12, you can stop by the police department or city hall for our annual toy drive in partnerVKLS ZLWK WKH PD\RUÂśV RIÂżFH DQG KPTV.

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!

he Portland metro area gets about 37 inches of rainfall annually. Typically 90 percent of that rainfall occurs between October and May, a time of year when extra water is not needed to irrigate lawns or gardens. Capturing and reusing rainwater from roof runoff can reduce demand on the sewer system and reduce residential water usage. A rain barrel is a simple rainwater collector that captures and stores a portion of the runoff from a roof downspout for non-potable, exterior uses, such as irrigation. Rain barrels come in a wide variety of materials, designs, and colors. Residential rain barrels are commonly 55 gallons or 90 gallons. They are usually installed on the ground next to a building. Rain barrels can be a great project for the whole family to learn about rain harvesting. There are a few things to consider before determining if a rain barrel is right for your home: • The water from a rain barrel should never be used for drinking, cooking, or other potable uses.

• The barrel must be structurally sound and should be a goodgrade container made to hold liquid. Containers such as trash cans are not designed to withstand the pressure of water. • All rainwater collection V\VWHPV PXVW KDYH DQ RYHUÀRZ to a safe disposal location.

id you know that woodpeckers are teaching scientists how to prevent concussions in humans? Perhaps you have wondered how these birds manage to drill holes in your house leaving only you with a headache. Experts leading the effort to save the lives of athletes and soldiers by redesigning their helmets think they know why, and it is the woodpeckers native to the Beaverton area that best demonstrate the principal. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology (www.allaboutbirds.org), a great place to learn about birds, attributes the woodpecker’s talent for hammering away unharmed to the “classic woodpecker body plan.â€?

They all have “a straight, chisel-like bill, blocky head, wide shoulders, and assume a straight-backed posture as they lean away from tree limbs and onto their tail feathersâ€? for leverage. But it is more than their resemblance to football players at game time or soldiers armored for a strike that protects woodpeckers from concussive brain injuries. It is also their tongues, especially the freakishly long tongues of

our local species that they use to harpoon or rake in their prey. This mechanism requires specialize neck bones that wrap all the way around their heads like bubble pack.

Columbus zookeepers took over the young bear’s care, raising the cub by hand after her mother began leaving her unattended in the den for prolonged periods of time. Nora weighed about 1 pound when they began raising her; she now weighs around 175. Oregon Zoo staff believe the elderly and good-natured Tasul, who turns 32 on Dec. 1, is likely to befriend Nora and can serve as a mentor to the juvenile bear as she grows up. “We are very excited to welcome Nora and are optimistic that Tasul and she will be good companions,â€? said curator Amy Cutting, who oversees the Oregon Zoo’s marine life area. ,Q 7DVXO EHFDPH WKH ÂżUVW polar bear in the world to volunWDULO\ JLYH EORRG ² D VLJQLÂżFDQW

Preparing for ‘The Big One‘ By “Handyman“ Bob Strong

rowing up in Portland, I remember hearing about the “big oneâ€? that scientists were certain would strike some day. With each major earthquake that occurs somewhere else in the world, we are reminded that we are sitting RQ D VLJQLÂżFDQW IDXOW OLQH ,W MXVW makes sense then that it is not a matter of “ifâ€?, but a matter of “whenâ€? it will strike here. One of the reasons Haiti sufIHUHG VXFK KRUULÂżF GDPDJH D IHZ years ago is that they have virtually no building codes. Construction technique in that situation is left to the individual. I was reminded of this horrible disaster in a meeting today, when one of the attendees told about going to Haiti to help build new structures to replace some of the ones that were destroyed. We asked how those buildings held up in the recent hurricane. Apparently, they all withstood the storm, because he had used construction methods and materials that his company uses here in our area to repair damaged or failing foundations. Unlike Haiti, we’ve had building codes in place since the early 1900’s. But, seismic considerDWLRQV ZHUHQÂśW FRGLÂżHG XQWLO WKH 1970’s. This means older homes, in general, won’t withstand an earthquake as well as newer ones. And, just so there’s no misunderstanding, seismic building codes are not designed to build earthquake-proof structures, rather they help us build earthquakeresistant structures. The intent is to build something that won’t collapse on the occupants and will allow them to escape safely.

For the most part, old fashioned building techniques simply relied on gravity to hold a house on its foundation, so the addition of anchor bolts through the sill plate into the concrete makes good sense. But, that only keeps the house from sliding off the foundation. Once the house is anchored in place, shear wall hold-down anchors should be attached at each corner. This will keep the house from being tipped over like an old outhouse on Halloween night. All post and beam construction under the house should be tied together to keep the posts from coming off their piers and to prevent the beams from sliding off the posts. Gravity works great so long as all forces are straight down. But when the earth begins to pitch and roll and twist and heave, all bets

are off for any parts of the house that aren’t tied together. Now, let’s go back inside the house and see what we should do in there to make things safer. If your water heater isn’t strapped to a nearby wall, it should be. In a major earthquake, this container may hold 50 gallons of the most precious commodity you will ever own – drinking water. Having it tip over and spill out could be the difference between life and death. 2I FRXUVH KDYLQJ D ¿YH KXQGUHG pound tank full of water tip over can also cause a lot of serious damage, too. How about your book cases? Are they all attached to the wall, so they won’t tip over and crush someone? Outside your home, do you have an earthquake wrench strapped to your gas meter, so you can shut the gas off at the source in the event the gas line gets broken? They’re less than $10 dollars and are available on line or at many plumbing supply and hardware stores. OK, that’s a quick primer on earthquake protection for your home. If it’s something you want to investigate more fully, just send an email to handyman@kxl.com and I’ll be happy to point you in the direction of some good contractors who can discuss it in a lot more detail with you.

Latest Bond Measure ReďŹ nancing Boosts Total Taxpayer Savings to $31 Million by Bob Wayt

A

lmost eight years after voter approval, the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District’s $100 million bond measure has produced a plethora of new and improved parks, trails, natural areas and upgraded recreational facilities for residents throughout the greater Beaverton area. During that time, the district has also moved aggressively to take advantage of opportunities in the ¿nancial markets to reduce the ¿scal impact of the bond measure on those same voters. According to Keith Hobson, THPRD director of Business & Facilities, the true cost of the $100 million bond measure over the 20-year payback period was originally scheduled to be $173 million. Through favorable bond sales and re¿nancings, the district has now reduced that liability

to $142 million – a $31 million savings for taxpayers, or 18%. In their latest effort, park district staff this month completed the reÂżnancing of a portion ($8.7 million) of the 2011 bond issue that totaled about $40 million of the 2008 bond measure. The move reduced the debt service on that amount by more than 8%. When the bond measure was approved in November 2008, it was to cost property owners within the district 37 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation, to be paid over the course of 20 years. Now the rate is 31 cents per $1,000, and the term has been reduced to 18 years. Hobson said the savings are attributable largely to continuing low interest rates and a favorable borrowing market. But the district’s strong credit rating also has played a major role. “As part of our reÂżnance this month, we had a credit rating

So, since the rhythm of the VFKRRO \HDU LV ÂżUPO\ LQ PRWLRQ it’s a good time to lay out some strategies that we use to help our son succeed in school and, hopefully, will help you children as well. 1. First and foremost, limit computer, tablet and smart phone screen time: This is probably the most difÂżFXOW²HVSHFLDOO\ IRU WHHQ DJHUV² but also the most important thing to do. Computer time affects attention, sleep, mood and negatively alters brain development. In an article in Psychology Today by Victoria Dunckley, MD, researchers found, “excessive screen-time appears to impair brain structure and function. Much of the damage occurs in the brain’s frontal lobe, which undergoes massive changes from puberty until the mid-twenties. Frontal lobe development, in turn, largely determines success in every area of life—from sense of well-being

to academic or career success to relationship skills. “ 2. Manage blood sugar swings and crashes: Processed cane sugar and high fructose corn syrup can interfere with concentration. Spacing out, sleepiness, irritability, headaches and light-headedness during the school day are common signs of low blood sugar. Feed your kids protein for breakfast rather than sugarsweetened cereal. Easy, protein rich foods include eggs, smoothies (use protein powder), leftovers from dinner (soup or chili), beans (breakfast burritos) and toast with nut butter. Make sure that they have good healthy snacks and a reasonable lunch. Strategize with your children about what they will eat at and after school so that they have some choice of foods they like.

3. Start off on the right foot: When it comes to writing a paper for example, selecting fonts and font sizing is is an easy, fun way for a child to procrastinate. That’s why in our house, the key to a successful writing session includes starting early with a cup of honey-sweetened green tea for focus. Tea contains caffeine and L-theanine which stimulate the brain and help a child focus. Don’t do this too late in the day or it may affect sleep. Also, if you don’t do it daily, the effect of the tea will be more dramatic. Keeping young students focused in class is always a challenge, but doing these simple things can often help. And children, as a general rule respond quickly to life style changes. If they continue to struggle, taking a closer look at food sensitivities and other underlying health issues is probably indicated.

Combating Homelessness By Emery Hanel (12th Grade)

eaverton teens, chances are that if you are reading this, you have access to a computer or have been shopping at one of the many places where the BRG is available. This also means you likely have a roof over your head, access to food, and a family that supports you. But some people aren’t as lucky. The United States has long been infected by an epidemic of homelessness. Portland in fact is a hub for the meandering, providing countless temporary shelters, access to single occupant housing, morning hospitality programs and employment agencies geared directly towards meeting the needs of those who have no permanent residence. There are a myriad of stereotypes surrounding those on the street: they’re “lazyâ€?, “drugaddictedâ€?, “alcoholicsâ€?, why don’t they “just get a job?â€?.

Home: Two Countries, One Feeling By Alina Salagean

7R WKH WKRXVDQGV RI ÂżUVW JHQHUDtion Americans in this country, myself included, the famous “American Dreamâ€? is all too familiar. It is the hope that drove many of our parents to pack up the little belongings that they may have had and risk it all for one thing: a better future. Our nation is perhaps the most diverse place in the world, with thousands of new immigrants arriving each year from around the world. Their stories are all unique and incredible, but they also share one similarity: hope. Hope for a better education and a better career. Hope for freedom (religious or otherwise). The hope for a life where their voice is heard and their ambitions can be realized. To us, the children of immigrants, this dream shapes our lives in more ways than we can imagine. I was ERUQ DV D ÂżUVW JHQHUDWLRQ $PHULFDQ WR parents who immigrated from Romania.

When to Call 9-1-1 When you are experiencing an emergency, calling 9-1-1 is the fastest way to summon immediate police, ďŹ re, or medical help. An emergency is: • An immediate threat to life • An immediate threat to property • A crime in progress If none of these apply, you should call the nonemergency number, 503-629-0111, for issues such as: • Harassing phone calls • Abandoned vehicles • Noise or music complaints • A theft that occurred on a previous day • Vandalism (if not in progress) • Missing persons who are not in immediate danger • Requests for extra patrols • General questions In Washington County, all 9-1-1 and non-emergency calls are answered by the same highlytrained calltakers and dispatchers at the Washington County Consolidated Communications Agency, but 9-1-1 calls are prioritized over non-emergencies. www.wccca.com.

Holiday Package Safety By Police Staff

Two recent incidents involving this writer and the approaching KROLGD\ SHULRG PDNH ZULWLQJ DERXW VDIHW\ D WLPHO\ RSSRUWXQLW\

wo months ago I purchased a music CD from Amazon and had it shipped to my home. After waiting two weeks and receiving no package I tracked the shipment and learned what day and hour it was delivered to my house. I never received it. It is more likely than not that it was taken by someone following the delivery service around. Kudos to Amazon who sent me a replacement CD overnight and didn’t charge me a dime. I recently received word from a local company that their computer was hacked and personal information including mine had been compromised. I had never done business with this company before and they had not obtained my personal information from a sister company. The conclusion was that my identity had been stolen, used to make a purchase at this company and then stolen again ZKHQ WKHLU FRPSXWHU ¿OHV ZHUH LQ¿OWUDWHG

Not a good year but certainly a learning experience. Relative to the package theft. I now have deliveries sent to my business mail drop address where packages are supervised by a human being until I pick them up. Costs me more? Yes. Kind of a pain to go somewhere else to pick up the occasional mailing? Yes, but piece of mind is worth something too. The Identity Theft issue? I now subscribe to a service that monitors my name and accounts for any suspicious activity and alerts me to same. Identity Theft happens when someone uses your Social Security number or other personal information to open new accounts, make purchases, or get a tax refund.

A: Both size and speed are used to determine if a non-car is legally allowed on the roadway. For example, ORS 814.510 Failure of a motor assisted scooter operator to use a bicycle lane or bicycle path, says that a motor assisted scooter has to use a bicycle lane or path when one is provided. Also, ORS 814.512 Unlawful operation of a motor assisted scooter says that they cannot exceed 15mph. ORS 814.518 Improper operation of a motor assisted scooter on a highway, says that they can be on a road with a speed limit greater than 25 mph, unless there is a bike lane. The second part of the question about motorcycles using a bike lane, the simple answer is no. ORS 811.440 When motor vehicles may operate on bicycle lanes states: 1.

A person may operate a moped (a bicycle with a motor that can be powered by petal power not a gas powered scooter) on a bicycle lane that is immediately adjacent to the roadway only while the moped is being exclusively powered by human power.

2. A person may operate a motor vehicle upon a bicycle lane when: (a)Making a turn; (b) Entering or leaving an alley, private road or driveway (to cross it); or 3. An implement of husbandry (a farm tractor) may momentarily cross into a bicycle lane to permit other vehicles to pass. 4. A person may operate a motorized wheelchair on a bicycle lane or path. 5. A person may operate a motor assisted scooter on a bicycle lane or path. 6. A person may operate an electric assisted personal assistive mobility device on a bike lane or path.

How Much Maintainence Does an Electric Vehicle Need? By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Beaverton Readers, his month we are responding to Tim from Beaverton who has called and emailed regarding the extra slippery conditions this year. Tim is a driver for Uber and uses his vehicle to pick up and deliver clients to their desired destinations. Tim has had issues with his vehicle sliding, as well as hydroplaning, and asked me to take a look at his vehicle and test drive it with him. He has a 2 year old all electric vehicle with approximately 27k miles on it and had never noticed WKHVH LVVXHV ZLWK KLV YHKLFOH WKH ÂżUVW two years of ownership.

After meeting with Tim for coffee here in Beaverton, we departed out on a drive in very heavy wind and rain. As Tim was driving for the ÂżUVW PLQXWHV RU VR , QRWLFHG D large amount of hydroplaning. The car even began to slide a bit when merging into the neighboring lane. Tim asked me if I would like to drive and I agreed. I entered the vehicle, and I asked “Tim, did you ever have the tire pressure checked on your vehicle when taking it in for service?â€? He replied, “Service? This is an electric vehicle and requires no serviceâ€?. I explained that I had noticed that it appeared that the tires had never been rotated, and the front tires were

nearly bald. The rear tires looked like they had about 75% tread remaining. Further, I saw that all four of the tires were low on air pressure. Luckily I had a tire pressure gauge on me and when I checked, they were all at least 10 psi low. I explained to Tim that just because this is an electric vehicle with no gasoline engine, it is still requires regular servicing. 27k miles is way too long to go without basic maintenance. In addition to needing two new tires, his wipers were streaking and his breaks needed to be checked, cleaned, and adjusted if necessary. I suggested to Tim that he read his owners manual and review the

suggested service interval guide set out by the manufacturer. Had Tim read this he would saved himself hundreds of dollars on tires, wiper blades and maybe breaks. Tim asked me if I was going to write about what I discovered with his vehicle? I asked him if he would like me too and he said yes because he thought because it would help others who own an electric vehicle. When he purchased the vehicle, he was told it had very little upkeep. I of course explained to him that very little and none at all are two different things. I was very pleased to be able to meet and assist Tim better understand his vehicle.

I read they sell over one million pumpkin pies the week of Thanksgiving. If you are planning to have a pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving season think about a “change upâ€? to present to family or guests. Create something different to make a memory, prompt compliments or even bring laughter to the occasion. Some ideas to get you started are: • Make your pie from fresh pumpkin puree rather than canned puree. It really is easy DQG WKH Ă€DYRU LV DXWKHQWLF DQG marvelous.

• Have each dinner couple/ ouple/ family/guest bring a different pumpkin pie, do a ‘taste test’ and give a winner’s prize. A book of pumpkin recipes would be fun! • If you are not a great traditional crust maker, make one that has very different and tasty ingredients. You will surprise yourself and others. • Speaking of crusts, try the miniature pie press cutters to make little pie dough cookies to decorate the edge of your pie or simply put on each cut of pie. These little cutters even work for sugar cookies to carry out your theme. • /LNH D FUHDPLHU ÂżOOLQJ" &KHFN recipes for alternatives like cream cheese or heavy cream.

• If you don’t have a favorite pie plate, go buy one of the beautifully shaped and decorated ones to make your pie in. So... let’s get started!

Choose to be happy about something, anything, your job, friends, family or your health. Everyday when you make a choice to be grateful for something you are creating new neural pathways. These neural pathways of gratitude trigger dopamine and serotonin hormones to be released. These are the feel good chemicals in your body. We are exposed to a lot of negativity in a day.

A Woman’s Work is Never Done: Part 4 Churn on Thursday by Ann Koppy, BHSoc Historian

• Churn on Thursday. • &OHDQ RQ )ULGD\ • %DNH RQ 6DWXUGD\ • 5HVW RQ 6XQGD\ Thursday’s Chore Pioneer women set Thursday aside to churn cream into butter. Unlike other household responsibilities, however, this task was often done more than weekly. Lack of refrigeration was a problem, so making butter in small amounts of two to four quarts at a time kept it from spoiling. One to 1 ½ quarts of cream yielded one pound of butter. They had several choices in churn styles--dash, cradle, paddle, and barrel, manufactured from

wood, tin, stoneware, and glass. Whichever style was used, the procedure was the same. Warm milk was set aside to cool to 50 – 60 degrees, allowing cream to rise to the top. When thickened and slightly sour, it was skimmed, drained, churned, washed, and salted. Salt not only DGGHG ÀDYRU EXW DOVR NHSW DZD\ maggots and other unwanted pests. The buttermilk that was drained off was used for baking or feeding to pigs. The thick, lumpy mass was then placed in a mold. Standing Wooden Dash Churn The most familiar process used a standing wooden dash churn, also known as plunger or up and down. It was up to 45� high with the dasher, cylindrical in shape, ZLWK D ¿WWHG ZRRG FRYHU 7KH long wooden plunger was inserted through a hole in the lid and a slow, steady vertical motion was

used. Thirty to forty minutes of churning produced enough butter for a few days. Any excess was sold to hotels/restaurants or traded at the town mercantile, perhaps to early Beaverton stores such as Cady-Anderson on Broadway Street, whose owners bought from local farmers. Butter Molds Like churns, molds were made in a variety of shapes and materials. They could be rectangular or square, wooded hinged blocks or round with a removable handgrip. Each held 1 ½ to 2 pounds. Some were basic, others had intricate GHVLJQV RI Ă€RZHUV DQLPDOV RU geometric patterns pressed into the wood. Hinged molds had brass hardware and snapped shut; round ones had a handle or plunger that was pressed to form a design. They were 4â€? to 6â€? high and 4â€? to 5â€? in diameter. If a mold weren’t

Children’s Churning Rhyme Children’s household chores included helping with the churning.

allowed per wagon. Sometimes, it broke or was discarded to lighten the load along the way. To solve the setback, pioneers put aside cream at night. The next morning, they attached a bucket or leather bag to the wagon tongue. The jolting action during the day produced butter for the evening meal. Other Challenges Taste, quality, and color of the cream varied regionally. Cows that grazed on wild onions, garlic, kale, or alfalfa hay often gave milk with XQXVXDO DQG XQZDQWHG ÀDYRUV %XWter might have a crumbly or grainy texture. In areas where grass was scarce during winter months, the butter was a pale yellow. Women added carrot shavings or juice to give it a robust tint. Over the Years Making homemade butter using hand-operated churns changed with technology and materials. Rural life gave way to urban, electricity became widely available, and large grocery stores began to sell perishable items. Today, the craft of butter making has been transformed by electric mixers and food processors. The result remains the same: tasty, fresh, and ready for baking or spreading on your favorite bread..

It can be a literal splat of glass on the bench, or a part of a design that doesn’t flow the way one desires. In either situation, Carli says, “I can

THE STORY: Take a sleigh ride through everything that makes Portland, well, Portland. An audience favorite created exclusively for Broadway Rose, A Very Merry PDX-mas celebrates (and pokes loving fun at) all the quirks of our “ever green” city with beloved holiday pop songs, classic carols, and original offbeat material. Featured songs include “Carol of the Fans,” “Green Christmas,” and “The Re-Gifter’s Lament.”

30 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 6–Issue 11 (November 2016)

THE STORY: David Tuttle is moonlighting as a department store Santa so that he can buy his wife a fur for Christmas. He tells her he's working late at the office, but she finds out he isn't at the office. A suspected other woman, hypnotism, the notorious Santa burglar Kris Kreigle and his gun toting fiancé, and a confused policeman add up to a rollicking tale that is hilarious Christmas or anytime entertainment.

Light Bulbs and What They Say About You By Spencer “The Catalyst“ Rubin

DID YOU KNOW YOUR LIGHT BULBS TELL YOUR CUSTOMERS A LOT ABOUT YOU & YOUR BUSINESS?

SURE DO! here is a business I frequent 2-3 times per week, and more often than not, there are MANY light bulbs burned out. In the bathroom, there are 3 of 7 that have been burned out for MONTHS! Months‌not Month. 1 day is too long! It’s nice to be able to see, ESPECIALLY in the restroom!! If you can’t change your burned out bulbs‌or if you simply don’t care to do so‌why should I care about you (and want

to return)?? A 4-pack of bulbs costs about $5.97. Some individual bulbs cost a lot more! But you want to know what costs the most? Showing your customers that you either don’t care, or don’t pay attention to details. If that is the case, maybe you don’t care about the service or product you provide. Maybe you do, but you leave my mind to wonder, and that is about the same as you not caring. So, easy peasy‌walk your business daily & weekly, and‌

T

bulbs‌before your customers are the ones burned out on you! Hey‌while you’re at it, if you allow customers to use your restroom (always a nice service), please clean it daily. Like dead light bulbs‌smelly, dirty bathrooms with stained commodes tell you’re your customers a lot about you and your brand.
