Last Month’s Cover Art

Message from the City Arts & Culture Center By Councilor Betty Bode

Y

ou may have heard that the City of Beaverton is exploring ways to build an Arts and Culture Center for our community. This facility would provide a state-of-the-art theater for live performances of theater, music and dance; a gallery, studios and classrooms; and spaces for meetings, celebrations and gatherings. Beaverton has more than 15 organizations dedicated to music, dance and theater that have no place to call home. Some use churches and community centers for their performances, or head into downtown Portland to produce their shows. The Arts and Culture Center could help revitalize downtown and create a vibrant, green, pedestrian-friendly city center. Businesses like the idea, believing that an Arts and Culture Center will be an economic catalyst and help attract talent to our community. This facility is envisioned as a gathering place for our diverse, multicultural community to learn, share, and enjoy all that artistic and cultural expression has to offer. It’s been said that the arts act as a guardian of our shared

humanity, the illumination for the community and its people. It is the forum where we come to explore what it means to be alive, in all its depth, sorrow and joy. The Arts and Culture Center ZRXOG EH D VLJQL¿FDQW SURMHFW IRU our community. First and foremost, there needs to be a realistic understanding of the ¿QDQFLDO FRPPLWPHQW to build and maintain the center. The current thinking is that the project could be a public-private partnership. Funds will be needed to secure land, build, and provide parking. Then there need to be funds to provide for management, staff, maintenance, and the list goes on and on. The funding stream for this SURMHFW LV QRW ¿QDO 7KHUH DUH several options: private funding, grants, bond measure, general city operating fund or a combination of sources. The community will be kept informed and will be part of the decision making for this project. Your voice will be heard. If you would like to see more detailed information, go to the city website and look for arts and culture on the front 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 first edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That first 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 first 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 reflected 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 traffic 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 find that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

uinn Andrews-Lee, the title character of The Mighty Quinn, feels anything but mighty, and faces a dismal school year. His sister outshines him athletically and socially, he yearns for a service award his peers disdain, and charismatic bigot Matt Barker’s goal in life is to torment Quinn and lure away his friends. When Quinn reports an act of vandalism he is accused of injuring Matt. Neally Standwell, a free-spirited new kid in Quinn’s class, helps Quinn deduce who hurt Matt, but Matt would probDEO\ GLH ² DQG ZRXOG GH¿QLWHO\ lie — before admitting the truth.

ree planting season is upon us with the weather cooling down and the rain starting up again it makes ideal conditions to plant some trees. In addition to the PDQ\ EHQH¿WV RI SODQWLQJ WUHHV LW can also be very fun. Beaverton has plenty of events coming up to plant trees all around town that teach you the proper way of planting. Partnered with Friends of Trees they make it a fun way of learning as well as maintaining your new trees. Check the city of Beaverton website www. Beavertonoregon.gov to view tree lists, codes and planting events. If you would like to plant trees on your own there are a couple of important steps to take. • First and most important is the location you choose to plant. Pick a spot that is not too close

Once you are ready to plant locate any underground utilities then dig a hole that is two to three times the size of the root ball in a cupped shape making sure it is the right depth Place tree carefully and check that it is the correct depth then pack in dirt. Finally water it in well and water 5 to 10 gallons a tree once a week and enjoy watching your new trees grow.

ine maples are native to forest understories and along stream banks, but can also be found out in the open. They usually grow vine like, crooked, and sprawled out in forest settings with multiple stems but stay fairly symmetrical out in the open. Reaching anywhere from 6 to 35 feet tall it is considered a large shrub to small tree. In the autumn the vine maple displays red, orange, and yellow colored leaves which makes it a very attractive addition to any yard.

(Dis)abilities + Work + Beaverton = No Problem! Meet Melissa Williams, employed By the Dirkse Team

F

inding jobs for those with disabilities takes teamwork. Cindy Bahl, Business Development Representative for Dirkse CC HR Solutions, works with businesses who are interested in diversifying their workforces and making a difference in the lives of those with disabilities. At a meeting of The Raleigh Hills Business Association (RHBA), she met the owner, Dawn-Starr Crowther, of the Jade River Healing Arts Center. DawnStarr had been searching for a

new receptionist who would also be willing to care for the tranquil gardens, walk Katie the therapy

dog, do laundry, and change sheets. Cindy introduced the idea of a “job carveâ€? – pulling tasks from existing positions to create employment opportunities for those with a disability. Melissa Williams is a person with Autism. Although she had work experience, she never had a paying job. Cindy arranged for a job interview at the center with Dirkse CC’s Employment Specialist Marta Bunse by Melissa’s side for support. 'DZQ 6WDUU DQG KHU RIÂżFH PDQDJHU Codi Flint, were impressed. They created the position of Clinic Caretaker Assistant and hired Melissa on the spot. Dirkse CC provides ongoing job coaching for Melissa, easing

transitions for all. “This position requires a lot of attention to detail, hard work and a great disposition. Melissa possesses all of these qualities and so many more. Her wonderful smile and willingness to do what is asked of her is nothing short of inspirational to all of us at the clinic,� says Codi. The job carve now allows the Receptionist position to focus on customer/patient needs. When asked about her new position, Melissa says “I like working here very much. Enjoy Katie, the therapy dog.� Her favorite part is tending the beautiful gardens. She uses a Trimet lift to get to and from work, and couldn’t be happier.

Community business associations such as RHBA provide important networking opportunities for companies in the Beaverton area. The positive attitudes needed to implement change in the workforce abound in Melissa’s story. With the open minds of all involved, she is now gainfully employed in a job she loves.

Diamond Simulants, Don’t Be Fooled Cubic zirconia and synthetic moissanite By Kaaren Bedi

W

e all like a good deal and marketers on the Internet know this. A couple of companies out there have been going to great lengths to convince consumers that their diamond simulants are as good if not better than mined natural diamonds. It is confusing WR EH VXUH DQG WKH\ DUH SURÂżWLQJ from this confusion. One company in particular is marketing their diamond simulant as ‘better’ than diamond. They go on to imply that diamonds are fragile, break easily and are sold through questionable practices. This is deceptive marketing at it’s

most blatant. According to the GIA and AGSthe two most reputable authorities in the industry there are two main diamond simulnats- Cubic Zirconia and Moissanite. • Synthetic cubic zirconia (CZ) – early diamond simulants have been almost entirely replaced in the past three decades by colorless CZ. It is made by a process called skull melting. As the material melts, the outer portion is kept cool to form a solid crust which then contains the melt. CZ can be produced in almost any color, and in darker hues, it is a convincing alternative for gems in purples, greens and other dark tones including black. Prevalence: common.

Locally Owned and Operated

• Synthetic moissanite – colorless synthetic moissanite was introduced in the late 1990s as a diamond simulant. It is closer to diamond in overall appearance than any previous diamond imitation, but now it is most often sold as a gem in its own right. Prevalence: occasional. There is no magical material. Neither of these simulants is exactly like diamond. They do not wear like diamond and they do not retain their value on the secondary market. Reputable jewelers do not purchase these stones for resale. One website goes so far as to charge $25.00 for an appraisal! A Cubic Zirconia coated with

graphite or synthetic corundum is still at the end of the day cubic zirconia- no matter what the website claims. Diamond is still the hardest naturally occurring material on earth. They are cleaved, cut and polished and when conditions are right they can break. Most diamonds are damaged by either steel or other diamonds. That’s why it is always advisable to store diamond jewelry in a soft pouch when not

being worn. Don’t be fooled. Buy from someone in your community- create a relationship with a jeweler who is part of where you live and will stand behind their product and are members of reputable trade organizations. Once again, the advice rings true- if it seems to good to be true- it probably is.

Around ten \HDUV DJR 1 & RSHQHG WKHLU ÂżUVW location, here in Beaverton. Today, there are 9 locations in Oregon and over 400 in 31 states. I had the opportunity to spend some time with Luke Martin, General Manager of the BeaverWRQ UHVWDXUDQW RII *ULIÂżWK 'ULYH (across the parking lot of the police department). Noodles & Company is a fast-casual eatery that focuses on delivering high quality food with little wait time. One thing Luke

is proud of is that the restaurant does not have a freezer or microwaves, which means they have to maintain strict freshness with all the food they serve. They pride themselves in knowing that they are providing high quality fare to their customers. In addition to fresh food, as a customer, you can relax when you eat, not having to worry about bussing your own table (a common reality within

the fast-casual marketplace). Just order, sit, and enjoy. Another perk with your local Noodles & Company is that they cater for as little as $10 per person ranging from a small gathering of 20 people to over 200. It’s affordable, convenient, and easy. Luke’s store also gives back to the local community via charitable contributions. They will do fundraisers with local schools as

ZHOO DV UDIĂ€HV WR KHOS UDLVH PRQH\ getting people to eat a nice meal while contributing to something positive is a win-win for everyone. One thing I take away from my visit, in addition to the tasty food we got to sample, was the level of customer service provided at this location. You can have great food but the experience can easily be ruined with bad service. I noticed the staff continuously keeping the

tables clean as well as making VXUH WKH FXVWRPHUV ZHUH VDWLVÂżHG with their meals.

Spend a little time with Amanda Legernes and one thing will quickly stand out: her smile. It’s always on. That positive attitude has made her one of THPRD’s most valued and well-liked Park Watch volunteers. Monday through Friday of every week, for 60-90 minutes each day, she circles the loop at Commonwealth Lake Park, picking up trash, bird watching, and answering questions from people interested in the wildlife they see. “I don’t think of it (volunteering) as a duty or work,� said Legernes, a Portland State University retiree. www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

“Amazing� is an overused adjective in today’s world, but for one patron who regularly witnesses Legernes’ volunteer service at Commonwealth, it’s more than an apt description. “Amanda is an amazing park volunteer,� the patron wrote in a recent letter to the district. “She even cleans up goose poop from the pathway! She is never without a smile. “Without Amanda, Commonwealth Lake Park would be much less appealing. She is truly a community treasure.�

“It’s very relaxing. I come out here and it relieves all the stress for me. “I meet lots of really nice people and their dogs. It’s such a beautiful park, I want it to stay that way. I can’t stand to see the trash.� She is well known at Commonwealth, especially, it seems, by those with dogs. She knows their names and all about them. It speaks to her affection for all animals, which started as a child. She is particularly fascinated by birds. During her years as a volunteer at Commonwealth, she has counted 130 species, including rarely seen ospreys, blue-winged teals, bald eagles and bitterns. She is delighted to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for birds with other people. “That’s one of the big reasons I come out here, to see the birds,�

Park Watch volunteer Amanda Legernes is dedicated to keeping Commonwealth Lake Park a beautiful place for all to recreate. The PSU retiree picks up trash, keeps a close eye on birds, and educates park visitors about wildlife.

she said. “It’s close to home and there are so many beautiful and interesting birds.� In addition to her endeavors at Commonwealth, she is an active member of Friends of Beaverton

A Committment to Beaverton Schools Beaverton Police Department By BPD Staff

I

t wasn’t that long ago that the SUHVHQFH RI SROLFH RI¿FHUV DW neighborhood schools struck fear in the hearts of every parent. Now, a police car parked out front is the norm, and that’s a good thing. Not only has the police presence provided a feeling of security it has morphed into a program that offers a plethora of professional services. The Beaverton Police Departments time commitment to Beaverton area schools started in the 1980s with the introduction of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program (DARE). This international program provided a curriculum for elementary and middle school students that enforced good decision making skills to help them lead safe and healthy lives. What made this unique was that it ZDV WDXJKW E\ SROLFH RI¿FHUV $Q DGPLUDEOH IRUD\ LQWR WKH ¿UVW VHULous attempt at a collaborative effort between schools and local police.

schools, over 40,000 students and 4,000 staff. They also provide services to two large private schools and numerous smaller ones. In a recent interview Sgt. Kevin McDonald, the SRO supervisor, said that his group was equal parts mentor, protector, educator, counselor and investigator. He lauded the part they play in being positive role models for the students and being a conduit for both students and staff. Over 4,000 hours were spent by 652V LQ WKUHH VHSDUDWH DQG GHÂżQHG areas. Those included classroom instruction, community outreach and student interaction.

One of the more popular classes, held after school is out in June, has been the two week Advanced Student Academy. Students from private and public schools alike were eligible for the class.

Q:

Are police ofďŹ cers exempted from g in the law? For example: parking a “no parkingâ€? zone or ďŹ re lane when hen not on a call. How about using their ir ashing lights to get through a red light then turning them off? A: As you know it is always difďŹ cult to determine how loaded a question is without “hearingâ€? the person ask the question. With that being said, the question as I read it is actually several questions with a very general question being narrowed down to a very speciďŹ c circumstance. The answer to the overall question is “Yesâ€?. ORS 820.300 provides the exemptions for Ambulances and Emergency Vehicles. Police vehicles fall under the umbrella of emergency vehicles. There is a substantial list of exemptions given to emergency vehicles. The thing to remember is an exemption to the law does not “relieve the driver of an emergency vehicle or ambulance from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all other personsâ€?. There is a great deal of liability when the driver of an emergency vehicle exercises these exemptions. The more speciďŹ c portion of the question detailed “parking in a no parking zone or ďŹ re lane‌â€?. ORS 820.300 speciďŹ cally and clearly allows an emergency vehicle to “Park or stand in disregard of a statue, regulation or ordinance prohibiting that parking or standingâ€?.The loaded portion of this question is of course â€œâ€Śwhen not on a callâ€?. Can an ofďŹ cer exercise the exemptions when “not on a callâ€?? ORS 820.320 (a) begins by stating the driver of an emergency vehicle must be responding to a call to exercise the exemptions. Most people will stop reading there and declare the police cannot exercise the exemptions without being assigned to a speciďŹ c “callâ€?. That’s not the case and if you keep reading the subsection, you will ďŹ nd in the same paragraph of the statue: “The driver of an emergency vehicle may exercise the privileges granted under ORS 820.300 when in pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the lawâ€?. So an ofďŹ cer illegally parked on the sidewalk performing a trafďŹ c detail is more likely than not exercising the exemptions. A police ofďŹ cer that observes a violation up the street may activate the â€œďŹ‚ashing lightsâ€? to get through an intersection to catch up to a violator. Most police ofďŹ cers on duty are speciďŹ cally looking for suspected violators or directly addressing violators. Understand that these exemptions are not available all of the time. We have all heard the story about the Portland Police OfďŹ cer that was parking illegally while on a coffee break. A coffee break was clearly not mentioned in the ORS and would not be protected under the discussed exemptions. Police ofďŹ cers are limited to the scope of their duties and most police ofďŹ cers fully recognize the liability associated with exercising the listed exemptions. 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)

3 Organizations that Shaped our City Local History: Our Town - Our Story By Ann Koppy, BHSoc Historian

P

eople come together in organizations for a multitude of reasons: friendship, religion, patriotism, business, or politics. Many are well-known and continue to function. Others have faded into the pages of history. Beaverton Commercial Club Businessmen and progressive citizens established commercial clubs nationwide to work for the common good and to guide development by advocating for civic improvements and responsible government. Beaverton’s was established by 1912 and met on WKH ¿UVW DQG WKLUG 7KXUVGD\V DW WKH Grange Hall on Farmington and

Angel; that landmark structure was demolished in 1963. Members subsequently paused until 1918 when a newly invigorated group promised to secure cooperation with other Tualatin Valley organizations and towns. One of the early endorsements was a joint resolution with Commercial Clubs of Reedville, Aloha, and Huber that encouraged locals to give preference to Oregon-produced goods. That same year the association put street signs on North Coast Power Company’s poles around town. Donated by Civic Improvement Committee chair B.V. Peate, they were installed when concrete sidewalks were completed. Beaverton’s weekly newspaper, The Owl, opined that one day the city would use house numbers. Needing to raise $200 to promote their support for better roads

in Washington County, Huber’s Commercial Club sponsored a Second Highway Dance at their hall in spring 1918. For $1.00, couples enjoyed a professional music ensemble and refreshments while helping make possible a major connector. When it opened the next year, the club made merry with a huge free Jubilee banquet and party open to the public featuring the Ladies’ Novelty Orchestra. The road, WKHQ NQRZQ DV :HVW 6LGH 3DFL¿F Highway, from the Multnomah County line to McMinnville, would eventually be renamed Tualatin Valley Highway. Active at the same time in and around Beaverton was D QRWDEOH IUDWHUQDO EHQH¿W VRFLHW\ Beaverton Camp of the Woodmen of the World Joseph Root founded Woodmen of the World (now Woodmen Life) in 1890 in Nebraska to provide

The Sorrento Club The Sorrento Club provided vocal music circa 1915-1919 at occasions that included fund-raising drives, graduations, entertainments, church services, and Decoration Day (Memorial Day) parades. Further research is needed, but the club appears to have been composed of residents of the Sorrento area of Beaverton. Their solos, duets, and chorus performances always received hearty praise and were greatly enjoyed. Everyday life has changed considerably since these organizations were established, but their legacy continues. Interested in more local history?

The farm has a thriving CSA program and will be delivering food to forty members in the 2015 Summer Season. Also, the farm sells produce directly at four farmers markets, to local restaurants, and select wholesale retailers in Yamhill, Clackamas, and Multnomah counties.

But for the most part, most things with Atlas have remained exactly the same. The same great product line – including hard apricot, blackberry-elderberry, pomegranate-cherry, and classic apple varieties – remains. The same tailored blend of Granny Smith, Honeycrisp and Macintosh Hood River apples serves as the foundation for every batch of Atlas Cider. And the same tenets – staying independent, supporting great organizations in the local community, and “breaking the mold” by doing things our own way – remain at the core of everything Atlas does. One of the great things about being a hard cider company is connecting with people at the market, the pub, and online. Do you have a great Atlas photo, mixed drink or food pairing idea to share?
