Last Month’s Cover Art “Upstream� by Thomas Eldridge
n 2013, the City of Beaverton instituted an Armed Forces Banner Program to honor and recognize Beaverton’s military personnel. The program consists of patriotic eight foot by three foot (8’x3’) banners mounted on City street light poles listing the name and branch of service of current, active duty servicepersons who are residents of Beaverton, have family members who live in Beaverton or have attended a Beaverton VFKRRO 7KH ¿UVW EDQQHUV ZHUH installed on SW Murray Boulevard on February 20, 2013. There are now 35 banners installed along
SW Murray with eight more soon to be installed. While the program was originally started through seed money from the City of Beaverton, its continued success is dependent upon community support through business donations and sponsorships. A special thanks is due to the generous donations made thus far from the following citizens and businesses: ‡ Biamp ‡ Beaverton Veteran’s Memorial ‡ Beaverton Police Association ‡ Leupold & Stevens ‡ Electrochem Solutions ‡ Bill Rice ‡ Debra Callendar ‡ Emma Jane Henderson ‡ Marvin Doty If you would like to apply for a banner for someone you know, please visit our website at: http:// www.beavertonoregon.gov/index.

The Beaverton Resource Guide (BRG) is a free monthly community paper written, edited and published in Beaverton, by Beaverton residents and for the businesses and people of Beaverton, Oregon, USA. Cedar House Media published the ďŹ rst edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That ďŹ rst issue was 16 pages. Today, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by a diverse cross section of public and private community organizations.
#3( (PBMT
Beaverton has so many positive attributes and many go unnoticed. The BRG is our way of giving back to the community by highlighting what makes our city a great place to live, work and shop. With a focus on small, local businesses, we’d like to encourage our neighbors to ďŹ rst visit nearby stores and give them a chance before moving on to businesses outside our community.
#3( "EWFSUJTJOH
With our unique layout, colorful design and exclusive community content, our readers are beyond loyal. Not only do they want to know "What's Happening in Beaverton This Month" but they also agree with our philosophy of: "Shop Local - Give Local - Stay 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 who love Beaverton. 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!

offering low cost kids’ self-defense classes to the public this fall. Classes will be held on Friday, September 5th 4-5:30PM and Saturday, October 11th 1-2:30PM for kids 6-11 years old. Scholarships are available. Register online: tulencenter.com/about/ selfdefense/ The No! Go! Yell! Tell! self-defense class is fun and empowering. The experts at Tulen Center want your child to be aware, but also to feel safe. With age appropriate information presented calmly and clearly, and a focus on your child’s strengths, they do just that. Kids learn to use their voice and get out of situations that are uncomfortable or even threatening. They learn to hit and hit hard. Adults are asked to stay and participate or watch. Children are the safest when strong lines of communication are opened up and the conversation is continued at home.

Tualatin T l i Valley Fire & Rescue Wear your bike helmet – every time! By TVF&R Staff
A
s area kids soak up the remainder of their summer vacation and prepare to head back to school, it’s a good time to make sure your young bike riders are remembering to wear their bike helmets every time they get on a bicycle. Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue receives a higher number of emergency response calls in the summer, as well as before and after school gets out, for children involved in bicycle accidents. It’s important to wear a bike helmet no matter what your age, but for kids 16-years-old and younger, it’s also the law in Oregon if you’re riding in a public place because bike helmets protect your brain. Wearing a bicycle helmet can
reduce your risk of a bicyclerelated head injury by about 88 percent. Yet nation-wide estimates show that only about 15 percent of children use helmets all or most of the time when cycling – so there is GH¿QLWHO\ URRP IRU LPSURYHPHQW Perhaps the most important step you can take as a parent is to model good habits for your kids. Just like putting on seatbelts when you get in the car, make sure everyone in the family wears a bike helmet every time they ride, so it becomes a good habit. For motorists, it’s also an important reminder to be extra vigilant and look out for young riders when driving in your neighborhood and near schools.

Zoo News is Good News Trestle-Mania: Zoo Lays Tracks For New Train Route By Oregon Zoo Staff
T
he new Oregon Zoo railway is just a couple months away IURP UHRSHQLQJ DIWHU EHLQJ RIÀLQH for nearly a year. Circling a 20-foot-high elevated trestle in the forest north of Elephant Lands, the new ride will take passengers along a route optimized for spectacular views of animals as well as the annual winter ZooLights display, which opens Nov. 28. “We planned construction very carefully to minimize the impact on visitors,” said Heidi Rahn, who oversees projects funded by the community-supported 2008 bond measure. “We knew we would have to take the trains out of service for a while as we built the new route, but we kept the schedule tight and have stuck to it.” Rerouting the train was necessary as the zoo began a major transformation last year, breaking ground on both Condors of the Columbia, which opened in May,
and the new Elephant Lands — a sweeping expansion of the zoo’s Asian elephant habitat that will quadruple the animals’ space and dramatically enhance their daily experiences. The elevated trestle presented some challenges due to its forested location. Three different cranes were called into service to lift, tilt and gently maneuver thousands of pounds of steel girders among the leafy thickets. “The entire trestle was assembled and bolted up like one of those toy erector sets,” said project engineer Wayne Starkey. “It’s taken lots of planning and logistics. If it were being built in the middle of nowhere, there’d be no problem.”
The zoo railway evolved out of plans for a children’s train when the zoo moved to its current site in the late 1950s. The Old West–inspired Centennial steam locomotive and the sleek, retro-modern Zooliner both date to that time and were featured during Oregon’s 1959 centennial celebration.

New Business Spotlight The Garage Sale Warehouse By Kent Drangsholt
J
ust like most small businesses, The Garage Sale Warehouse started in the owners’ garage. Kent & Jami Drangsholt began buying abandoned storage units like on the TV show “Storage Wars” back in May of 2010. Weekend garage sales became a part of their lives.
They advertised and would get a crowd of 500 over a weekend. The “regulars” kept saying that they should open a business with WKH FRRO VWXII WKH\ ¿QG 7KH\ VRRQ found that the “hobby” had out grown their 3 car garage. In July of 2013, Jami convinced Kent to open a small store located on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. It then became the place “Where It’s A Garage Sale Everyday”. Two month’s into that, they added a 10,000 square foot location
around the corner on Western Ave. It houses 80 vendors that also scour the NW for cool and unusual items. It can take hours to see it all! If that weren’t enough, six months later they opened a 15,000 square foot store on Walker Road in the old JoAnne’s fabric building! That store has over 100 vendors that bring their wonderful treasures for sale. All three stores have new items coming in on a daily basis so it’s always fun to browse. It’s well lit
with wide aisles in a comfortable air conditioned warehouse environment that is also pet friendly! <RX¶OO ¿QG \RXUVHOI JHWWLQJ lost in memorabilia, antiques, collectibles, and everyday items. ,W LV D YHU\ XQLTXH DQG IXQ ¿OOHG experience with the knowledgeable staff of professionals there to make your shopping experience one to remember!

Evergreen Huckleberry By City Landscape & Urban Forestry Staff
E
vergreen Huckleberry is a hardy shrub that is native from California on up to the British Columbia region. They are very nice in a natural landscape and don’t require much attention or watering after they are established. Consisting of green leaves that have a bronzy cast to them, they also have clusters of bell-shaped ÀRZHUV WKDW DUH SLQN WR UHGGLVK LQ color and bloom from March till May. It also produces round, edible, black berries which are often used to make syrups and Jams (great in pies too!). Reaching up to 10 feet tall in shady areas or around 3 feet in full sun, Evergreen Huckleberry are easily pruned to make a hedge or can be trimmed into a round shape.

eaverton residents now have access to a free tool that reveals the solar potential of every home and building in the city. Mapdwell: Solar System has developed the innovative website, which was brought to Beaverton through a trial sponsorship from Energy Trust of Oregon. The Mapdwell website gives information such as how long it will take for your solar system to pay for itself, renewable energy generation, and carbon offsets. Energy Trust, an independent QRQSUR¿W WKDW KHOSV 2UHJRQ XWLOity customers generate renewable power, is offering Mapdwell to

help residents and business owners so they can make informed decisions about whether a rooftop solar system is right for them. “I encourage everyone to visit the Mapdwell website and explore this innovative 3-D technology UHVRXUFH WR OHDUQ DERXW WKH EHQH¿WV of installing solar panels. It even calculates how much carbon you helped keep out of the atmosphere and tells you how many trees would need to be planted to achieve that same carbon reduction,” says Lizzie Rubado, senior solar project manager, Energy Trust. The easy-to-use tool calculates and maps the solar energy potential for every point on a rooftop for every hour of the year, taking into DFFRXQW VLWH VSHFL¿F ZHDWKHU GDWD and any physical obstructions such as trees and neighboring buildings.

Mapdwell provides users with 3-D models that account for the shape of building rooftops and structures, existing infrastructure and foliage. “We feel fortunate that Beaverton was included in this trial through Energy Trust,” said Mayor Denny Doyle. “We hope the Mapdwell website helps residents and business owners make smart sustainable choices..”.
They are often seen sprouting up out of old stumps in the wild. These shrubs are great looking evergreens and can be spotted in a lot of the city of Beaverton landscapes because of the appeal and low maintenance.

Food for Thought: Dining Out at the Olive Garden By Celia Lambert, PhD
S
o youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to go out to dinner and feel good about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating! Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s develop a strategy for eating out and use a popular Itlalian restaurant like Olive Garden as our example. Since this is going to be a protein meal, it would be best to eat early. Protein takes more time to digest than a complex carbohydrate like bread and pasta. So letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s begin our meal with an appetizer. An order of calamari or a neutral vegetable like asparagus would be good here. Then for the main course, we can continue in the protein family with a chicken, sea food or meat dish accompanied by a vegetable. All you can eat salad? Great! All you can eat bread sticks? Not so good. Remember, we are
trying to avoid too many complex carbohydrates. If the dish comes with pasta, why not substitute a vegetable (which they allow) or take the pasta home for another day. Moderation is the key. Now, if you have your heart set on pasta, then begin with the bruschetta, ULVRWWR ELWHV RU DVSDUDJXV ÂżUVW EHIRUH looking over their pastas. And choose RQH ZLWKRXW PHDW FKLFNHQ RU ÂżVK Again, you can substitute a vegetable. Eat lots of their delicious salad AND a couple bread sticks this time. For cheesey dishes such as, smoked mozzarella or a cheese ravioli, pair these with either a protein or the complex carbohydrate dish. Their fat content makes it compatible with either dish (although I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suggest this every time). The strategy is same for all restaurants you would want to visit. Simply
choose two main food groups, either D OHDQ SURWHLQ PHDW ÂżVK 25 D FRPplex carbohydrate (starchy food) such as potato, rice, pasta and bread. But whichever way you go, make sure to include a cooked vegetable and/or a salad. Remember: have fun, eat well and always - always â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let food be thy medicine!â&#x20AC;? - - Hippocrates Celia Lambert has earned her PhD in Holistic Nutrition and ďŹ ne tuned it through the school of life.

To keep this goal intact, she brought along Travis Dickinson, who worked his way up the culinary ladder at HSG, and is now Executive Chef. While I was there, Chef Travis mentioned how he strives to provide a mix of modern creations in addition to the traditional menu items. Wild Boar Scrapple, the 20 Hour Bavette Steak and Charred Octopus are just 3 examples of his non-traditional fearlessness! Before the end of my visit, Travis showed me his herb and vegetable garden in the back of the restaurant, adjacent to the patio. Reminiscent of something you would see in a provincial eatery in Europe, this garden (and the use of local growers like Millennium Farms & Draper Valley) speaks volumes to Hall Street Grillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication to sourcing fresh and local edibles. These were the three dishes Travis prepared for me:
'LVK Charred Octopus ($12.95 ) Typically, when you eat octopus, there is an expectation that it is going to be a bit rubbery. Prepared with tomato, olive, chorizo, saffron
potatoes, added balsamic and chili oil, the texture of the octopus is simply remarkable. It is so tenderâ&#x20AC;Ś to the point where you can actually cut it with a fork! The daring pairLQJV RI Ă&#x20AC;DYRU WKLV GLVK SURYLGHV LV the chorizo with the octopus. It has this â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Latinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feel about it, with the infusion of the chili oil and saffron but I keep going back to that wonderful octopus; it was the most tender octopus I had ever tasted. To the hesitant seafood connoisseur, please do not overlook giving this octopus delicacy a try.
'LVK Oregon Albacore ($28.95) Pan seared rare with summer vegetable capponata, baba JDQRXVK ÂżQJHUOLQJ SRWDWRHV VDIfron aioli and opal basil, the Oregon Albacore is a locally inspired, seasonal offering (which means donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait too long to order this one). The tuna is paprika rubbed, perfectly seared with a hint of heat. The baba ganouch and saffron aioli offers a creamy balance to the bold DOEDFRUH QRWHV 7KH ÂżQJHUOLQJV DGG to the heartiness of the meal.
'LVK Bacon Poached Pork Loin ($28.95) Two excellent seafood meals to start off my foodie journey here; now for something a bit bolder. The pork loin, in my opinion, is my favorite part of the pig because it FDQ DEVRUE ZKLFKHYHU Ă&#x20AC;DYRUV WKDW you want to infuse into the meat. When prepared correctly, it is tender and juicy (when overcooked, it will bring a tear to my eye). Chef Travis had fun with this one. The potatoes are prepared like a warm
potato salad. The peaches are soft and sweet and the ricotta salata gives a crunchy snap to the meal. It is savory, sweet and just plain delicious. This was a fun visit. Not only is the food remarkably splendid, the service is just as delightful. Every member of the Hall Street Grill staff performed like a well-oiled machine. There were people zooming this way and that way; everyRQH NQRZLQJ WKHLU VSHFLÂżF UROH What I take away from visiting this eatery is that you have the perFHSWLRQ RI D ÂżQH GLQLQJ DWPRVSKHUH EXW ZLWKRXW WKH VWXIÂżQHVV 7KHUH LV a reason why the Hall Street Grill has been around for nearly forty years.

The most visible difference is the school's new paint job and renovations! Gone are the days of gaudy teal walls, replaced by the school colors of orange, black, and white.

Starting the year with pa that goal in mind, the school is getting rid of the standard paper information packet given to students, and replacing it with an online version. Only a very small number were printed in order to accommodate students without internet access at home. As for the curriculum, there is now a wider variety of electives along with a strengthened core of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) classes intended to increases studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interest in their courses and improve their impact. This in turn is hoped to lead to an increase in Beavertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduation rate, which has consistently remained between 75 and 78 percent in recent years.

They said that they wanted to buy it but it was just a little to big for the plane (but not too big for a car!). This treasure can be found at The Garage Sale Warehouse on Walker Rd.

A
new dome on the West Campus of Oregon Health & Science University is covering some of the country's most advanced medical research. The new 18,000-squarefoot OHSU data center opened this summer in Beaverton. The hospital expects it will be used to gather and analyze "enormous" amounts of biomedical data to help scientists better understand and potentially cure diseases. Scientists said it will help pioneer what they're calling "big data" medical research. Workers have affectionately dubbed it the "Data Dome." 7KH PLOOLRQ SURMHFW RIÂżcially called Data Center West, ZDV VSHFLÂżFDOO\ GHVLJQHG WR KRXVH a huge computing prowess that requires a low amount of electricity.

Beaverton History Twenty Millionth Ford Visits Beaverton By Ann Koppy
M
ilestone car celebrations werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a new idea in 1931. Ford Motor Company commemorated production of their Ten Millionth in 1924 and Fifteen Millionth in 1927, but the Twenty Millionth was something special. It marked the end and beginning of an era in automobile production. In the early years of the 20th century, car ownership was uncommon: Only one in 9,500 Americans had a vehicle in 1900. The few who did endured challenging driving conditions--few paved roads, a foot or more of summer dust, and two or three feet of winter mud. It was a newsworthy item when someone did buy a vehicle. The November 14, 1907 issue of the Hillsboro Argus informed readers

M
family friendly, lively cabaret style program. The core part of the show had two successful showings at the Portland Fertile Ground Festival of New Works this last January/ February. The show features Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own songs, as well several familiar songs and parts of instrumental numbers, all interspersed with short, humorous dialogues highlighting challenges Mark and Helena have experienced in their lives. Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compositions range from love songs to ragtime. Helena presents a unique blend of expressive dance and song. Mark accompanies her on the accordion. Mark is a musician/composer from Portland, and Helena is a singer/actor/dancer originally from Prague, Czech Republic. The show gives the story of how the two met in Europe and eventually married, moved to the U.S. and made their living here. Mark and Helena have performed for many years in the Northwest as well as in several
European countries. Each began performing in their youth, Mark with his dad on stage in Portland, and Helena on Czechoslovak National Radio and TV in Prague. Little did they know then that, following their professional careers, they would once again be performing and having fun at it. Their stage name is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;GREATHOUSE of Musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and they have a line of CDs. Check out their website at: www.greathouseofmusic.com.

In any case, you can bet that our farmers will resign themselves to accept whatever Mother Nature has in store for them, for that is the nature of farming. It takes a particular kind of person to be a farmer, and in our opinion, it is the best kind! See you at the Market! See you at the Market!

While the berry growers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as happy about our hot spring and summer temperatures, most farmers are thrilled with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing season. Chris Hertel of Sun Gold Farm went so far as to say that â&#x20AC;&#x153;if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do well this season, you are just a bad farmerâ&#x20AC;?. A great growing season is sometimes a double-edged sword. When one farmer has a great season, it often means that others will too. This can lead to a glut of product in the market causing prices to crash. When asked about his concern for the price of tomatoes in the coming months, Tom reported that so far the market has been able to support the amount of fruit they are producing, most of which is coming from those tunnels that survived the ZLQWHU $V WKH ÂżHOG WRPDWRHV FRPH in, the supply in the market will

When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse.

ecently, a few couples went out for dinner to celebrate one of our 50th Birthdays. The place we chose was very nice. Rustic but elegant. The waitress was very good. A bit over the top, but very good nonetheless. No Complaints. 6 out of the 7 adults decided to go with the special…a NY Steak! It sounded fantastic! Our waitress gave us one of those Northwest Restaurant descriptions: From The Carlton Ranch…Of The Painted Hills… Corn Fed…Free Range…Never Corralled…Aged To Perfection... she said it would be the best steak we’ve had in a long time! SOLD! IT SOUNDED GREAT! The steaks arrived…served in a bowl interestingly…they looked delicious! You know what? They were OK. Not bad. But just OK! Not amazing…not taste bud tingling… just ok. Not the best steak we’d had in a long time, that’s for sure. We walked out…not disappointed…but not excited. No one exclaimed: “We HAVE to come back here next year!” JUST OK…and even GOOD is Not Good Enough Any More! Peoples’ expectations are too high…and there is too much good competition out there for OK or GOOD to be good enough. In this case…the product did not match the pitch. The talk was talked…and the walk was not walked. Words are just words…if the service and product do not match them…and knock your socks off. That is the world we live in. Customers will not hesitate to jump on social media or Yelp and give you an average to terrible review. An average review is just as bad Continued on Next Page

They are soon joined by the spinsterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s niece whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought a â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendâ&#x20AC;? who turns out to be a young man! After a night of attempted break-ins, the sound of gunshots, and the discovery of a dead body, the detective arrives and things get really strange! www.BeavertonResourceGuide.com

Attention parents of creative pre-teens: I urge you to encourage your daughters and sons to submit their poems to be considered for publication in Beaverton Kids Corner. This is a wonderful way to spotlight student creativity! --Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita
