Last Month’s Cover Community Message
Connect during the holidays By Bethany Stroup
T
he other night I visited family members who I had fallen out of touch with due to our mutual busy lives. Before visiting, I was worried and burdened with cares, but after an evening sipping coffee and enjoying relaxed conversation, my soul was lightened. As I left their home, feeling peaceful and supported, I considered the value of connections. Many of us are planning to connect with family or friends for Thanksgiving this month. While some look forward to the WXUNH\ ¿OOHG GD\ ZLWK JOHH RWKHUV approach with trepidation because RI IDPLO\ FRQÀLFW GLVFRPIRUW RU loneliness. The truth is many of us have less than perfect relationships but be careful not to miss the value of human connection. If your family can’t provide you with a safe, supportive
community don’t isolate yourself, especially around the holiGD\V 7U\ ¿QGLQJ D 7KDQNVJLYLQJ festival, community meal or activity and immerse yourself in. There is an abundance of positive human connection in our community. This month, take a ORRN DURXQG DQG ¿QG \RXU VSHFLDO connection.

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. 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. 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 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!

Traffic Q&A:
Allow Me to Mourn the Living In Peace By Amal Mohamed, 12 Grader
M
y name is Amal Mohamed. I am a Senior at Health and Science Beaverton High school. This poem is dedicated to the lost souls that gave and never asked for anything in return. In my free time I read, free write different styles of poetry since I am still learning what I like best. I hope by the end of 2019, I would have published a short poetry book. I was born in East Africa under a tainted light In a hut with a woman who was forced to be a doctor A female doctor that helped with the procedure of bringing me to the light. She instructed my mother on what to do And how to proceed My mother nodded in pain and she agreed. The father wasn’t present. But the small beaded eye child
wrapped up in love was held close to the mother´s bare skin And was cradled just seconds after escaping the only world she’s known. I am my mother’s child. She used to sting me and then feed me honey, Because she wanted me to make sure that I knew the thing that could give me sweetness could also bring me pain. So, I became cautious and vigilant. Throughout the years, I became a capricious child that went about her ways not regarding another soul. I had to make sure not to be the Ă€RZHU WKDW QR RQH SLFNHG Mother was intransigent when I gleefully shared my dreams of becoming the next president I come from roots that were embedded in racism and sexism Women that were pinned to the kitchen counters and were asked with D ÂżUP JULS WR WKH WKURDW “Please make me a plate.â€? $QG TXLFNO\ LQ DIÂżUPDWLRQ WKH\ agreed, Because at least this time he said please At least this time the bruising wasn’t as deep Maybe he’ll continue saying please We’re told to lower our head
and hands in disapproval for their approval. We never seem to see eye to eye if he is constantly hovering over me I am kneeling in obedience I swore under my breath the next generation that uttered the words ‘mama’ to me would never witness such an interaction of two “loversâ€? I pondered on the thought if loving a spouse was supposed to make an individual plaintive I was bound to always follow the footsteps of the ancestors that were born under the same tainted light as I I was told wanting more was bragging that I was better than the rest I simply wanted better and to show the pious women they deserved better than the treatment they received My malicious views against SoPDOL PHQ JUHZ DV ORQJ DV WKH 3DFLÂżF Crest Trail I became belligerent when asked why I deemed men as trash I answered sardonically ¨How come you don’t? ¨ I want to be proven wrong I guard myself like a resistant soldier that would die for its country I just want to hold someone innocently and not feel like I´m property May the time come But until then
Allow me to mourn the living, in peace

Q:
What happens if I refuse to take a DUII test? If I fail a test, what happens?
ANSWER: Refusal to take a test is admissible issible as evidence in court. If you are underr 21, you will fail the test if you have a reading ing of any percentage. If you are over 21, 1, you will fail the test if your blood d alcohol reading is 0.08 percent or more. An implied consent suspension is separate from any suspension you may receive as a result of a DUII conviction. If you have a valid driver license in your possession, the ofďŹ cer will conďŹ scate it and issue a 30–day temporary driving permit. After 30 days, the suspension is in effect. Suspension lengths vary.
Q:
What is Oregon’s Implied Consent Law?
ANSWER: This law means that by driving a motor vehicle you have implied that you will consent to a breath, blood, or urine test, if a police ofďŹ cer asks you to take such a test. The ofďŹ cer may ask you to take a test if the ofďŹ cer has arrested you for driving under the inuence of intoxicants (DUII).
Q:
How loud does my horn have to be to be legal?
ANSWER: A vehicle must have a working horn you can hear from 200 feet away. Sirens or similar devices may be used only on authorized emergency vehicles. If you have a trafďŹ c question that you'd like us to ask the Beaverton Police Department for this column, email us at: BRG@cedarhousemedia.com (For all other police questions, call the police non-emergency number: 503-526-2260)

Grocery Store Aggravation By Spencer Rubin
R
ecently, I popped into one of the national grocery store chain stores to shop. As I spent time in produce, inspecting and picking out apples, I had the joy of listening to 2 employees complaining about their manager... calling him names...and doing it loud enough to be heard on the International Space Station. They saw me, they knew I was there, they had to have known I heard it all. Not one greeting, not one nod, not one question asked if they FRXOG KHOS PH ÂżQG DQ\WKLQJ ,W was all about them, how awful their manager was, how much they hated their job! Then, when I checked out, the checker and the bagger had a 1-on-1 conversation with each other...with nary an acknowledgement of my existence until it was time to ask me to hand over my hard-earned money! Now, I left the store happy, because I am a happy person!! BUT, I also left the store pretty aggravated at the moment...as well as amazed...because it just never ceases to amaze me how much BLAH or awful, disengaged customer service exists in the world. How hard would it have been for either set of disengaged, uncaring employees to have stopped their conversations for a minute or two to pay attention to a customer. A customer who works hard for his money, and that day chose their store to spend it at. I chose them that day. I gave them a precious gift: Patronage and Money!! RESTAURANT HAPPINESS: Back in October, my wife and I traveled to Bend for a business conference. Night 1, we met an old friend for dinner, and we went to Sunriver Brewing. They were crazy busy...but got us to a table pretty quickly. The young waiter who helped us was friendly, focused on his job, attentive, and helpful. He delivered us our beer, appetizers and dinner in a pretty darned quick period of time, considering how busy they were.
This â&#x20AC;&#x153;kidâ&#x20AC;? was also very personable and fun to talk to as well. :H OHIW TXLWH KDSS\ DQG VDWLVÂżHG Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus on that for a minute. Every customer leaves your business, or your website, or a phone call to your business at some point. How do you want them to leave? Like I left the grocery store? Feeling ignored and aggravated? Or like Sunriver BrewLQJ" +DSS\ VDWLVÂżHG DQG YHU\ willing to return as well as share the experience with friends? You are in control Mr. & Mrs. Owner and/or Manager. How are you and your people engaging and treating the most important people in your lives? Yeah, I said it. Customers = The Most Important People In Your BUSINESS Lives!! They chose you! They chose to visit! To look! To Shop! To Try! They chose you! They chose to GIFT you with their hard earned money...that can always be gifted to someone else who cares more than you or your people! How much do you care? How much do you show it? How well are your people engaging your customers? Are you constantly, feverishly, habitually training your people on customer service and being better at it than anyone else? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not...you should be!! â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘

New Portals for Cats At the animal shelter By Jennifer Keene
N
o, we arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talking about an opening to another dimension or a popular video game. The portals we are so excited about are basically doorways between cat kennels. Portals double the space each cat has and allows them to have a bathroom area separate from their living and dining area. For FDWV DV IRU PDQ\ RI XV KXPDQV this makes them MUCH happier and less stressed in a shelter environment. Studies have also shown that more space for each cat may translate to less disease and to cats getting adopted more quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Portals are an excellent way of utilizing housing the shelter already had and making it more cat friendly,â&#x20AC;? says shelter veterinarian, Dr. Lamb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By installing portals, we allow the cats to have distinct areas to use for eating, resting and eliminating. This in turn will allow the cats to be healthier, both physically and mentally.â&#x20AC;? Portals have been a goal of ours for a long time, and we DUH WKULOOHG WR ÂżQDOO\ VHH WKLV become a reality. Many shelters have added portals to their kennels by using PVC pipe or welding the openings. We selected a pre-made product designed for use in shelters because it is easy to clean and sanitize and also allows us to shut the portals if we have a sudden need for more
space temporarily, such as a hoarding case. As you can imagine, there were some logistical challenges, even after we had the plastic portals themselves. We had to move cats around so that the large banks of kennels could be taken away by Washington County facilities to have the holes cut in them. Then they were brought back, re-installed and had the portals put into place. Then the glue on the portals needed time to cure. We had to complete the project in sections to ensure that we always had available kennel space for any cats that needed it. This meant that staff had to get creative, and volunteers and poWHQWLDO DGRSWHUV KDG WR EH Ă&#x20AC;H[LEOH during the installation process. We are seeing great results already with cats being more comfortable and lots of great adoptions. Adding portals technically cuts the space in half, but in practice it more than doubles what we can do for cats in our shelter.

Eating local and fresh By Kili Garcia (10th Grader)

iting into the crisp, sweet apples at Kiyokawa Orchard on my annual apple picking trip made me start to think about how you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just buy these fresh, tasty treats anywhere. When fruit is grown at small, locally owned orchards, there are many EHQHÂżWV ERWK QXWULWLRQDO DQG environmental. 7KH ÂżUVW WKLQJ WR WKLQN DERXW when looking at locally grown fruits and veggies is that there are less chemicals and preservatives. This is because when you buy and eat them directly from where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grown, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be transported and no added chemicals are needed. This increases their nutritional value. Another reason locally grown IUXLWV DQG YHJJLHV DUH EHQHÂżFLDO LV that they lower our greenhouse gas emissions. When the food doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be imported or driven far distances, food miles are reduced. Food miles are the distance that food has to travel from the place it was produced to where it will be sold. When the number of food Gift Baskets
Plants
miles are low, our greenhouse emissions decrease, therefore reducing our air pollution and dependence on fossil fuels. Lastly, what better way to support your community and be closer to nature than go apple and berry picking? My yearly excursions to Kiyokawa Orchard have become a fun, simple tradition that have not only impacted me, but the environment as well. Next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for something to do with friends or family, go to a local market or orchard and get a basket full of fresh fruits and veggies! Arrangements

To Sell or Not to Sell During Holidays By Kimberly Shute
L
ife happens, and it can turn out that when you are ready to sell, the ‘selling season’ may be over. Does that mean you should wait another 3-6 months before putting your home on the market? No. Review the reason why you are selling. Is it due to necessity; such as work relocation, a family home due to health or passing, or is it desire? With a need-based move there is really little choice, with GHVLUH \RX FDQ EH PRUH ÀH[LEOH What we know about buyers historically is that those who are purchasing in the holiday season are either needing to buy a home, strongly desire to buy perhaps due to personal timeline or tax reason, or could be an investor looking for a deal. Either way, even though a season may change, the market still continues to buy and sell. What this means for sellers is that there may be less competition. Right now, the market is transitioning not only seasonally but also from an inventory perspective. We had 3.1 months of inventory in September, which we have
not reached three months since February of 2015. We will keep an eye on this although it is indicative that the market can be transitioning towards an even buyer seller market, which when inventory is at 6 months this has occurred. With rates rising and inventory increasing is now a good time to sell? Yes! Buyers are more motivated to make that purchase with
the rising rates. What a seller can do is to make sure that their house is priced according to location, condition, similar homes sold and competition. The home preparation list to be market ready should UHÀHFW WKH VHOOHU¶V JRDOV RI WLPLQJ LV D TXLFN VDOH UHTXLUHG RU QRW and available budget to invest in repairs or upgrades.

Giving Thanks
The Caregiverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bill of Rights
By Camille Keith

n November, the US observes Thanksgiving. For many people this means a long weekend, and having dinner with family and friends. Remember that this holiday is also about giving thanks. Practicing gratitude has been shown to help increase life satisfaction. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to acknowledge the good things in our lives, instead of just focusing on the negatives. While you may want to take time to share what you are thankful for during your Thanksgiving celebration, you may also want to make this a regular topic during family meals. Share with your loved ones why you are grateful for them or remember shared experienced that you enjoyed. Expressing gratitude is often more meaningful when done in a group. You could also try keeping a gratitude journal. Your journal entries GRQÂśW KDYH WR EH ORQJ EXW EH VSHFLÂżF about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for. For example, instead of writing you are grateful for your family, you might say you are grateful that your mom made you soup when you were sick. Take a few moments every day to
think about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re grateful for. For caregivers and healers, it can be especially important to remind ourselves why we are taking on a helping role. There are often times when this work is challenging, so take time to UHĂ&#x20AC;HFW RQ ZKDW \RX DSSUHFLDWH ,I \RX DUH KDYLQJ GLIÂżFXOW\ WKLQNLQJ DERXW what you are grateful for, you may be feeling burned out. As a counselor I can provide a new perspective to help you explore current challenges and create more opportunities for gratitude.

he winter holidays are one of the most anticipated times of the year, but with high stress and changes in weather, they can also be a time of increased risk. Here are a few ways to stay safe this season: Travel safety: The National Safety Council reports that auto fatalities spike in December and January. Be aware of icy roads, and if you plan on drinking make sure you have a designated driver or a taxi service to bring you home. If you plan any drives, be sure to give yourself ample time and avoid rushing. Stress: Holiday planning can take over and lead to that bahhumbug feeling. Stress affects your sleep, weakens your immune system, and puts you at risk of illness. Avoid those big stressors by starting early, making a budget, and remembering that it’s okay if some things are out of your control. Eat healthy and stay active: With all the great food and baked

goods around, it’s easy to overindulge and taper off of your exercise routine. Remember that it’s far easier to keep that New Year’s Resolution if you have a solid foundation of good habits to back you up. Prevent injuries: Home injuries spike during the holidays. From improperly used ladders to shoveling snow or even slipping on ice, if a personal injury occurs, you should promptly seek professional care with your Chiropractic Physician or MD to get you back on your feet and celebrating.

Eating on a budget? How healthier meals could actually save you money

very year as the holidays approach, my mind drifts to thoughts of cookies, warm sweet drinks, yummy stews and thick chewy breads. I start seeing all those pretty treats on the covers of magazines in the grocery store check-out lines. And then Halloween sets the stageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one little candy barâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all downhill from there.

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like many Americans living in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy world, you may have developed an alltoo-familiar habit of eating out, whether you opt for fast food, restaurant meals or takeout. After a long day at work and tending to your never-ending to-do list, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to argue with the convenience of having somebody else prepare your meals. You may have even rationalized to yourself that eating out doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really cost that much more than meals prepared at homeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or having healthy, ready-made meals on hand. And the meals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t differ that much when it comes to healthiness, right? Unfortunately, that is not the case. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that the cost of food in general can be pricey, eating out, on average, is substantially more expensive than if you were to prepare your own meals.1 Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, restaurant fare of all types has been implicatedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as a likely factor in our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obesity epidemic.2 Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look at how consistently eating out can potentially harm your budget and your health, and how eating healthfully might actually save you money in the long run. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just no way around it: Food can be expensive. And chances are, it eats up a
lot of your budget. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2015, U.S. households spent an average 12.5 percent of their LQFRPH RQ IRRG 2I WKDW 43 percent, or $3,008, was spent on food outside of the home, such as in restaurants. In higher-income households, 11.2% of the total income was spent on food, while the amount of money spent on food outside the home totaled nearly half of the household food budget. The cost of food is on the rise, particularly for restaurant meals. The U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Research Service4 reports that in August 2018, the Consumer Price Index &3, IRU UHVWDXUDQW PHDOV ZDV 2.6 percent higher than in August 2017. The CPI for store-bought food was also up, but only by 0.5 percent over the same time frame. Looking ahead, the USDA says that the price growth of storebought food may continue to stay low. It predicts that these prices will rise between 1 percent and 2 percent in 2019, and that restaurant prices will go up between 2 percent and 3 percent. The cost of eating out may be higher than you think. The average price for dinner in a full-service U.S. restaurant
was $40.53 per person in 2013.5 In 2015, the average cost of a fastfood meal for one ranged from $3.86 to $14.6 Needless to say, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of dough, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating out several times per weekâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;which, research shows, may be the case. According to a 2016 Gallup poll7, 61 percent of Americans state that they ate at a restaurant at least once in the previous week; 16 percent ate out three times or more. Poor food is a driver of poor health. According to experts from Tufts University11, food is the top cause of poor health in America. They state that an estimated GHDWKV PD\ EH LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFHG by dietary habits each year, and that a wide variety of conditionsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; brain function, cancers, heart disease, immune function, obesity, stroke and Type 2 diabetesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;are affected by diet. Their research also suggests that almost half of all U.S. deaths due to diabetes, heart disease and stroke are caused by poor diets.

How U.S. drivers choose a gas station: â&#x20AC;˘ /RFDWLRQ
What is TOP TIER fuel? The TOP TIER program and performance standard were developed to guarantee that participantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; gasoline meets stricter standards for engine cleanliness. TOP TIER gasolines are often marketed to consumers as having enhanced, engine-cleaning detergent additives. To protect vehicle investments, experts urge drivers to use a gasoline that meets TOP TIER standards for engine cleanliness and performance.

Does the quality of fuel make a difference? New testing of Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fuel KDV XQFRYHUHG VLJQLÂżFDQW GLIIHUences in the quality of gasoline sold at fuel retailers in the United States. The independent laboratory testing compared gasolines that meet TOP TIERâ&#x201E;˘ standards with gasoline brands that do not participate in the automaker-backed SURJUDP 7KH UHVHDUFK ÂżQGV WKDW consumers can clog their carsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; engines by not using gasoline with enough added detergents. Among brands tested, nonTOP TIER gasolines caused 19 times more engine deposits than TOP TIER brands after just 4,000 miles of simulated driving. Such carbon deposits are known to reduce fuel economy, increase emissions and negatively impact vehicle performance, particularly on newer vehicles.
According to AAA, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The laboratories were surprised to learn the extent to which detergent additives impact gasoline quality. As advertised, tested TOP TIER gasolines kept engines remarkably cleaner than other fuels we tested.â&#x20AC;? Why TOP TIER? In response to increasing levels of carbon deposits in modern engine designs, the Environmental Protection Agency mandated a minimum level of detergent for all gasoline sold in the United States in 1996. However, some automakers believe the minimum does not go far enough to ensure optimal vehicle performance and their ability to meet increasingly-stringent fuel economy and emissions requirements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By selecting a quality gasoline, drivers can minimize engine deposits, increase vehicle performance and improve fuel economy,â&#x20AC;?
Selecting a gasoline that meets TOP TIER standards. Following your vehicle ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual and use the correct fuel for your vehicle. Many consumers associate fuel quality ZLWK WKH RFWDQH RI WKH IXHO UHJXODU vs. premium), which is incorrect. If you experience a rough idle, especially when the engine is cold, or hesitation during acceleration, it might be caused by the quality of fuel. Try changing to a TOP TIER JDVROLQH IRU VHYHUDO ÂżOO XSV Shop around. TOP TIER fuel is only an average of three cents more per gallon. Fortunately, most gas stations in Beaverton use TOP TIER fuel including Chevron, ARCO, Shell, 76, Exxon, and Costco. Portlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Tom Dwyer recommends staying away from AM/PM, Safeway and small mom/pop stations until they make the change to TOP TIER. The good news is consumers can reverse some engine deposits simply by switching gasoline brands, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Performance issues such as rough idling or hesitation during acceleration can often be resolved after a few thousand miles with TOP TIER gasoline.â&#x20AC;? This information certainly proves that we do in fact get what we pay for. The less expensive the fuel the more harmful it is to our vehicles: fuel deposits inside the engines, or in the fuel injection systems, clogged fuel injectors, to plugged catalytic converters. We may think we are saving money with less expensive fuels, but in the end, it can cost us a lot more in maintenance and repair costs later down the road.

former Southridge High School and Oregon State University baseball star is bringing more big-league experience to the push for Major League Baseball in Portland. The Portland Diamond Project announced Darwin Barney has signed on as an advisor and an investor for the group. Barney, a Beaverton native, is a current MLB free agent. He debuted in pro ball as a second baseman for the Chicago Cubs during the 2011 season. He was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2014 and to the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015. He won the Gold Glove award in 2012. Before that, Barney was a star player for Southridge High School and then Oregon State. Barney helped the Beavers win back-toback NCAA Division I baseball championships in 2006 and 2007. He was named to the all-tournament team in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a fantastic addition to the Portland Diamond Project team. I met with Craig Cheek and Mike Barrett recently and was impressed with the progress theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made and will be watching with great interest and enthusiasm as they continue their mission to bring Major League Baseball to the state of Oregon,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Casey, former Oregon State head baseball coach, who coached Barney in 2006 and 2007. The Portland Diamond Project is working to build a stadium and bring a MLB team to Portland.
It is led by Cheek, a former Nike executive, Barrett, a former broadcaster for the Portland Trail Blazers, as well as Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and Grammy-winning singer Ciara Wilson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was born and raised in the Portland area and being part of this campaign to bring an MLB team to my hometown is especially meaningful to me,â&#x20AC;? Barney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to provide any expertise and support I can to the success of this initiative.â&#x20AC;?

CoSign is a place-making program (developed by the American Sign Museum/The Haile/US Bank Foundation) that leverages the power of visual communication to deliver real and lasting change by revitalizing business districts. The program brings the idea to life by uniting artists, businesses, and sign makers together to create signage that reflects the character of a neighborhood.
For the first time CoSign will expand beyond the Midwest and take place on the West Coast in Beaverton, OR. “The Beaverton Downtown Association (BDA) is extremely excited to be partnering with the American Sign Museum to further develop the creative identity of downtown Beaverton. Beaverton is the most diverse community in Oregon, and now our signage will be able to celebrate what makes our community unique.”, states Kevin Teater, the BDA executive director.
The roots of domestic violence begin in childhood. Research has found that growing up in a violent home negatively wires a developing brain and often results in impairments in a person’s four key areas of life: physical health, mental health, behavior and relationships. The impact of childhood domestic violence (CDV) can have profound, lifelong implications. In September 2017, Voices Set Free was awarded the CDV Toolkit by the Childhood Domestic Violence Association (CDVA). This Toolkit is a compilation of evidence-based, groundbreaking and essential tools developed by the CDVA in collaboration with the world’s leading researchers over the past decade to provide effective solutions for those impacted by CDV. We offer monthly Introduction
to Childhood Domestic Violence workshops as part of our CDV public awareness campaign, educating attendees about CDV, its impact, and the tools to mitigate against its negative effects in both children and adults. We provide advocacy for parents involved with DHS Child Welfare. Our staff includes a registered MSW that provides free counseling for children, teens, and adults impacted by family violence and trauma. Since opening the Family Justice Center of Washington County in April 2018, through August 2018, we have had 2,475 visits from people seeking domestic violence services. For more information or help, contact the Family Justice Center 503-430-8300 www.FJCWC.org. Please contact Voices Set Free info@ voicessetfree.org or visit our webpage www.voicessetfree.org

Glenn is a native of Chicago and earned his Master’s degree in Library Science from Indiana University.

He is the proud father of three children, and enjoys hiking, biking, and swimming in his spare time.

Later that night, Marietta’s mom got a text from Lucille’s mom that made her gasp. “They caught, him, George,” she said to Marietta’s dad. “Who?” “The kidnapper. The one who took Scarlett Tanenbaum.“ “Oh, thank God. Where’d they find him?” Marietta’s mom didn’t say, but Marietta knew.

Love Your Library
One Book, One Beaverton BOOKS What if all of Beaverton read the same book? Can sharing in the experience of a work of literature spark meaningful discussion that brings us together as a community?
Don’t miss the opening reception, held Wednesday, Nov. 7, from 4 to 5 p.m. in the main library’s Meeting Rooms A & B. While enjoying light refreshments, you’ll have the first opportunity to view all the art, cast your vote in the People’s Choice Awards, and mingle with the artists! In addition, two $100 Blick Art gift cards will be presented to high school and middle school art teachers for highest student participation, generously funded by the New Friends of the Beaverton City Library. Much behind-the-scenes coordination and work by library staff and the TLC takes place to pull this event together. Many area art teachers go the extra mile to carefully collect, organize, deliver and retrieve their students’ works. Last year, nearly 200 works of art by 138 middle
When they got to nearly the top, Marietta paused to look out over the grove to see what she could. And she saw… nothing. Just herself and Lucille and a sea of white.
Lucille thought this over and then nodded. “What do I do?”
As always, an impressive array of both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional artwork from Beaverton-area teens is anticipated. Two People’s Choice Awards for best middle school and best high school artworks will be presented - $100 gift cards to generous sponsor, Blick Art.

Marietta didn’t tell Lucille. Lucille was a year younger and still too little to know things. Marietta wasn’t sure what the other prints meant, but she had a monster-inyour-closet feeling.

Beaverton City Library is pleased to announce that the inaugural title we’ve selected for One Book, One Beaverton is The Wanderers by Meg Howrey. Howrey’s gripping novel tells the story of three career astronauts who have been chosen to undertake the first human voyage to Mars. Prior to their mission, they must prove their psychological and physical fitness by completing a seventeen-month simulation of the Mars voyage. school and high school artists were displayed. Please join us to celebrate the creativity of our Beaverton-area teens!
Author Meg Howrey was inspired by reading about the real Mars500, a program that simulated a 500-day round-trip voyage to the Red Planet. This kernel of an idea transformed into The Wanderers, a book that author Ruth Ozeki calls “a transcendent journey into the mysteries of space and self.”
During the month of January, the library will host a series of special events that tie into themes from The Wanderers, culminating in a literary event with Howrey on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2019. The library will begin handing out complimentary copies of the book at a kick-off celebration on Saturday, November 3. For more information, visit www.BeavertonLibrary.org or call 503-644-2197.

The Nunsense Christmas Musical Special
THE STORY: In this holiday original, we are invited into the 1970’s living room of the Hart family to watch some television on Christmas Eve. Every time the family turns the channel we get to see a new scene from the classic Christmas television and movies we remember so fondly. Set in a time when most families had just one tv in the house and only a small handful of channels to choose from, the arrival of the holiday TV guide meant that the season was in full swing. Families would gather together to watch the Grinch’s heart grow 3 sizes, George Bailey realize that he’s the richest man in Bedford Falls or Linus explain the true meaning of Christmas. Holly Jolly is a heaping helping of Christmas cheer decked out with singing, dancing and some very special guest appearances you won’t want to miss..

Out & About | What’s Happeni ng Around B eaverton This Month? THE STORY: The true
story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt explores a woman’s place in society during a time of immense scientific discoveries, when women’s ideas were dismissed until men claimed credit for them. When she starts work at the Harvard Observatory in the early 1900s, Henrietta isn’t allowed to touch a telescope or express an original idea. Instead, she joins a group of women “computers,” charting the starts for a renowned astronomer who calculates projects in “girl hours” and has no time for the women’s probing theories. As Henrietta, in her free time, attempts to measure the light and distance of stars, she must also take measure of her life on Earth, trying to balance dedication to science with family obligations and the possibility of love.
THE STORY: On a seemingly normal evening, we meet Thelma Cates who lives with her daughter, Jessie. On this night, Jessie comes into the room asking her mother about the whereabouts of her father’s old revolver. When Jessie finds it in the attic, she confesses to her mother that she is going to commit suicide that very evening. Throughout the subsequent dialogue between Jessie and Thelma, Jessie reveals her reasons for her decision. And as Thelma pleads for Jessie to reconsider her decision, old secrets are revealed, and long-ignored feelings rise to the surface. www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com
