Message from the Chief School Safety Chief Jim Monger

A

s summer winds down and kids are headed back to school, I want to emphasize Beaverton’s commitment to safety within the schools and throughout the community. The Beaverton Police Department has seven school resource RI¿FHUV 652V DQG D VFKRRO resource sergeant that are welcomed into over 60 schools across Beaverton. In addition to serving as a resource to students, parents, DQG WHDFKHUV RXU 652V RIIHU peace of mind in light of the rise in school violence which has taken SODFH DFURVV WKH QDWLRQ 7KH 652V also participate in many after school activities and functions such as sporting events, socials, and parades. They are committed to supporting the children not only in their education, but also in other aspects that shape their lives. In addition to school safety, there are a number of ways the city is keeping the community safe, such as ensuring the city’s water quality meets state and federal requirements, inspecting our homes, schools and businesses to

make sure they meet safety standards, and designing safe routes for residents to get where they need to go. Beaverton is also moving forward with plans for a new building for police and emergency services. A new public safety center will be built to modern earthquake and safety standards to ensure uninterrupted police and emergency services in the event of a natural disaster. The project will also allow the police department to have appropriate space to meet and interview crime victims, ensure that minors are appropriately separated from in-custody DGXOWV DQG LPSURYH HIÂżFLHQF\ by consolidating police functions under one roof. For more information on school resource ofďŹ cers or the public safety center, please visit www.beavertonpolice.org

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!

or three days in July, THPRD staged a Davis Cup quarterÂżnal event between the U.S. and Croatia before nearcapacity crowds in a temporarily expanded stadium built around Hardin Court at the Tualatin Hills Tennis Center. The event entertained thousands and illuminated the district’s potential as a major event host. “Coming here, seeing all the seats Âżlled, and seeing the excitement, we know we pulled off something spectacular,â€? said Jerry Jones Jr., president of THPRD’s Board of Directors. “Being able to display our facilities here at Hardin Court, at the Davis Cup, has put THPRD and our community on the map in the tennis world.â€? All Âżve Davis Cup matches were televised internationally by the Tennis Channel; the broadcast

included ads from the Washington County Convention & Visitors Bureau. “That means 55 million international viewers are getting a great glimpse of the majesty of Washington County and THPRD,� said Drew Mahalic, CEO of the Oregon Sports Authority, which helped bring the event to Beaverton. “This is going to mean future visitors and future events here in Washington County.� More than a decade ago, THPRD General Manager Doug Menke spearheaded efforts to build Hardin Court to make hosting an event like the Davis Cup possible. Realizing his dream, though, required more than a suitable space. “It’s about relationships,� Menke said. “Alone we can do very little; together we can pull of an event like this.� Menke’s relationship with Jeff Ryan, the senior director of US team events for the United States

Menke said. “After watching 5-6 hours of tennis, the Âżrst thing they want to is play tennis.â€? Each day July 15 through 17, 5,000-6,000 fans packed THPRD’s temporarily expanded Stadium Court to watch the U.S. face Croatia. The Ĺżve matches were also seen by millions of TV viewers worldwide.

Driving on Hot Days Raises Overheating Risk Traffic Q&A:

With the Beaverton Police Department

By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Beaverton Readers ith the recent increase in temperature outside, I have had emails and calls about engines overheating. Here are some of the causes & cautions.

Q:

Your coolant is too low When your engine overheats, WKLV LV WKH ¿UVW WKLQJ \RX VKRXOG check. Ample coolant is vitally important for your engine, as it ÀRZV WKURXJK DQG FRROV HYHU\thing down, especially when you are traveling at highway speeds.

A: The short answer is “No�. It would not be prudent or practical for him/her to follow that procedure. Hopefully the guilt will cause them to lead a better driving life.

My religious friend ran a stop sign several months ago and still feels eels guilty. Even though it was a long time ago, could he report his violation and pay the ďŹ ne in order to give him peace of mind?

W

Your cooling fan isn’t working This can be caused by a few different problems, but it can be easy to spot. When you see the temperature gauge creeping up, pull over and look at the fan. Your radiator is clogged up Do you have more than 50,000 miles on your car? If that’s the case, then the radiator might be ¿OOHG ZLWK JXQN WKDW NHHSV LW IURP operating properly. Flushing a radiator can be done every year, takes just a little bit of time, and helps ensure that your radiator never gets clogged up to the point of overheating. Your coolant is leaking If you notice that your car continues to overheat no matter what you do, look underneath the car when you stop and park. If you see a great deal of liquid underneath your car, you could have a coolant leak. What to do: • Turn off the air conditioner and open up all the windows. This

will take the pressure off the engine and give you a chance to get to help before the car dies. Turn on the heater even though this might seem like a terrible idea during a hot day, but the engine heat is what fuels the heater. Pull over as soon as you can DQG ¿QG D JDV VWDWLRQ EXW \RXU VDIHW\ FRPHV ¿UVW VR GR QRW WUDYHO IDU EHFDXVH D ¿UH PD\ EH brewing. Keeping some coolant in the car is a good idea. If you don’t have coolant, water will do. Call for a tow truck. With luck, the tow truck may be able to VSRW WKH SUREOHP DQG ¿[ LW right there. Never open the radiator cap while the radiator is hot, as the release of pressure could lead to serious steam and liquid burns. Do not add coolant or water to the radiator when the radiator is hot. Doing so can actually crack the engine block, thanks to the abrupt temperature

change. • If your coolant is entirely gone from a serious leak, don’t try to drive the vehicle. Call a tow truck instead. Driving a car without coolant means that it will lock up in just a few minutes, and that will absolutely ruin your engine. I truly appreciate each and every one of our readers.

Q:

Is tail-gating a violation? If so, how close does a car have to be in order to be classiďŹ ed as tail-gaiting? A: Following too close (ORS 811.485) is deďŹ ned as “Drives a motor vehicle so as to follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of the vehicles and the trafďŹ c upon, and condition of, the highwayâ€?.

Q:

When turning right or left from Hall Blvd onto Farmington for example, and there’s a person about cross, do I have to wait for them to fully cross the road or can I turn in front of them? A: When turning at Hall and Farmington the driver must give the pedestrian one and a half lanes of clearance.

Q:

While on SW Murray Blvd. between Millikan Way and Farmington Road I noticed a lot of people using the safety zone median strip to pass other cars in order to get in the left turn pocket. Is that legal?

If you have a question for the Beaverton Car Guy, email popslcf3@hotmail. com or call 503-930-1493 Larry’s specialty is locating cars, even hard to ďŹ nd cars, for everyday folk. He has been in the automotive industry for over 35 years and has several degrees in automotive technology.

A: Passing in a no passing zone under ORS 811-420 is considered to have occurred if a person drives a vehicle to the left of the roadway against a “Solid Yellow Lineâ€? on the pavement for more than the last 100 feet prior to making a turn. Although the “continuous left turn laneâ€? may look like a legal lane of travel, it is not.

stirred with a long wooden stick. After the soap dissolved, previously sorted clothes were added separately in this order: whites, colored, heavy work garments and rags.

them from rusting.

Staying independent with stamina, strength, balance and mobility Most older adults want to remain on their own for as long as possible.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Jessie Rae’s music is raw, real, and full of feel. Alive with rough edges and magical moments, Jessie Rae mixes honest lyrics, smooth harmonies, and a bluesy beat, infusing Portland’s indie music scene with a fresh sound. Whether they’re playing original tunes or songs in the public domain, Jessie Rae’s roots in folk, blues, funk and pop is unmistakable. With such a diverse lineage, it’s no wonder Jessie Rae’s sound has been described as “roots pop with a blues edge” and “cool funky folk.” Joan Meyer’s songwriting brings a subtle yet soulful groove to the Jessie Rae sound. From the rootsy tone of Lauren Semler’s slide guitar to the sultry blues of the vocals, Jessie Rae offers a unique sound all its own. Jessie Rae Live at Ava Roasteria!
