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 with the help of the city and the Farmers Market. That first issue was 16 pages. Today, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by the most important community organizations: City Hall, police, library, historical society, TVF&R, WCVA, THPRD, Washington Square and Cedar Hills Crossing to name a few.
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 first visit nearby businesses and give them a chance before moving on.

Rings in our culture signify many impor-tant events like graduations, weddings and special achievements, just to name a few.
For one local soldier, however, the ring
And to understand the incredible journey of this ring, you have to go to Afghanistan.
The ring was lost by an American soldier in Afghanistan in 2005, maybe 2006. The truth is, it’s not clear how the ring was lost and even how it was found is a bit of a secret.
“We were going through one of the vil-lages and one of the locals came up to me and I couldn’t understand what he was saying, but he showed me the class ring and gave it to me,” said Ken Stafford, speaking from San Antonio, TX.
Stafford was serving in Afghanistan in 2006 when the ring came into his life. He knew right away it was a high school class ring and he assumed it must have belonged to an American killed in action and taken from his body.
“I don’t know how they got it, you auto-matically think the worst, but I’ll take the ring anyway regardless,” Stafford said.
Stafford put the ring aside for safe keep-ing, but brought it out this year, determined to solve the mystery behind it. He wanted to return the ring to who he assumed was the dead soldier’s family.
He had one word to go off of on the ring: “Aloha.”
“I thought it belonged to someone who went to school in Hawaii,” Stafford said.
Stafford asked his Hawaiian neighbor for help.
The ring has a warrior on both sides and Kalani Young said it’s a warrior that dates
back to the days of King Kamehameha.Convinced they were on the right track,
Stafford and Young decided to have the ring blessed in a ceremony.
The ring may have been blessed in a tra-ditional Hawaiian manner, but it’s not ac-tually from the islands at all.
“Aloha” referred to Aloha High School in Oregon.
Stafford and Young contacted Fox 12 asking for help reuniting the ring with its owner. All there was to go on was the faint initials inside the ring, “BJB.” It also had
the year on it.A quick look through the Aloha High
School yearbook from that year produced a “BJB,” for Bryant James Beebe.
Then came the best news of all. Lt. Col. Beebe was still very much alive.
The ring had traveled around the world, but it’s last stop wouldn’t have it going very far at all. Beebe’s parents live only about a quarter-mile from the Fox 12 sta-tion in Beaverton.
When Fox 12 anchor Wayne Garcia and photographer Devin Eskew arrived at the home, they were greeted by Bryant. They handed him the ring in a bag surrounded by the blessed tea leaves.
“I had no idea where along the way I had lost this ring and to have this back in my hands right now after being found in Af-ghanistan it’s incredible,” Beebe said.
that wasn’t important to Beebe. He took the ring to a jeweler to have it resized and now wears it with pride.
A ring’s journey from Afghanistan to BeavertonBy FOX 12 Staff
“That is unbelievable, that is absolutely unbelievable,” said Lt. Col. Bryant Beebe after learning his ring, lost in
Afghanistan years ago, had made its way back to him in Beaverton.
Gwen Foley is an unsung hero of the Tualatin Hills Park &
Recreation District’s Specialized Aquatics program, volunteering her time to teach one-on-one swim lessons each Sunday at the Beaverton Swim Center for more than 30 years.“Sharron (Patapoff, swim center supervisor) asked me to volunteer when she started the program, and now she can’t get rid of me,” laughs the 81-year-old Foley, a retired ight attendant and nurse.Foley’s instruction is guided by a simple principle: treat students in Specialized Aquatics the same as everyone else.“You’re not doing them a favor if you’re telling them it’s great when it isn’t,” she said. Foley provides tough love, pushing
her students, never letting them say “I can’t” and providing praise … but only when it is deserved. “She’s there to teach them how to swim, not to play with them,” Patapoff said. “She has a tough exterior but great warmth for the program. Her expectations are high, so their expectations are high.”Foley spends many hours working with special needs populations. She’s a volunteer for Special Olympics and Albertina Kerr, and she is also the founder and manager of a dragon boat team composed of paddlers with special needs.“One of my swimmers came down to watch me participate in a dragon boat race and asked ‘Couldn’t we do that?’,” Foley explained. “We started with one boat, now we have two.
They compete against the general population.”Foley believes many people are afraid of interacting with specialized populations, but adds that attitudes have changed for the better.“The high school students (who teach Specialized Aquatics) are so fabulous,” Foley said. “Generally,
people treat people with special needs better than they did when I was growing up, when people made fun of them and didn’t pay attention to them.”More than a generation of children and adults with special needs have now bene ted from THPRD’s Specialized Aquatics program. Foley has been an indispensable part of that work. “She is integral to the program and she’s been a long-time friend,” Patapoff said. “I aspire to be her one day. She’s always going. She’s 81 years old and busier than any of us.”
Longtime THPRD volunteer Gwen Foley trains 18-year-old Alex Childers on a variety of strokes during a Sunday lesson at the Beaverton Swim Center.

Season Ticket Prices: $50/Adults $40/Seniors & Students $16/Youth (age 10 & under)
All performances are in the Beaverton City Library Auditorium
BCT will hold open auditions for Michael McKeever’s comedy, Suite Surrender, directed by Kraig Williams.
Fri 1/4, 6:30-8:30pm; Sat 1/5, 11am - 1pm at the First Baptist Church Beaverton, 5755 SW Erickson Ave, Beaverton
Season Five for the Beaverton Civic Theatre features clas-
sics, a Northwest Premiere and the return of Detective Harry Monday (who we met in the third Sea-son's Three Murders and It's Only Monday.)
Suite Surrender by Michael McKeever
directed by Kraig Williams
In this Northwest Premiere, it’s 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel — assist-ants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their war-time performance...that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hil-arious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s.
Steel Magnoliasby Robert Harling
directed by Tony Bump
A first play which met with immediate critical and popular acceptance in its premier production by New York’s WPA Theatre. Concerned with a group of gossipy southern ladies in a small-town beauty parlor, the play is altern-ately hilarious and touching — and, in the end, deeply revealing of the
strength and purposefulness which underlies the antic banter of its char-acters.
The Crucibleby Arthur Miller
directed by Doreen Lundberg
Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play. This exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our con-temporary society. The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie — and it is here that the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned with a host of others.
If It's Monday, This Must Be Christmas!
by Pat Cookdirected by George Herkert
The fifth play in the Harry Monday tri-logy! Okay, Harry never could count. Christmas time rolls around and our down-and-out gumshoe is short of cash as usual. He’s down to walking dogs for a few bucks when Harrigan’s department store has its payroll stolen. Not only is the payroll missing but, crime of all crimes, somebody kid-
napped Santa Claus! The store’s St. Nick has gone missing along with the money and bonuses. And Harry has only one day, Christmas Eve, to solve the case. Wise cracks and plot twists fly faster than Santa’s sleigh in this yu-letide whodunit.

Announcements
Repositioning cruises are a great way to experience something
new! The embarkation (getting on the ship) and disembarkation (get-ting off the ship) are at different ports.
Cruise ships relocate due to change in season, usually during the spring or fall. Several Cruise lines relocate in the northwest heading south.
It is typical for ships to spend the summer in Europe and the winter in
the Caribbean, as a cold winter in Europe decreases the demand for cruising there.
Repositioning cruises are gener-ally Less Expensive because most passengers will have to combine them with a one way plane ticket. Also, most passengers prefer cruises which visit a lot of ports of call and have few days at sea), while some repositioning cruises are forced to spend many days at sea, for example, when crossing
the Atlantic Ocean.Locally an easy way to get aboard
a Repositioning Cruise is to fly one-way up to Alaska and sail South to-wards your desired destination.
If you would like a longer Repos-itioning cruise, a good one is to go from Alaska thru the Panama Canal.

AARP Tax-Aide and CASH Oregon are providing FREE tax preparation and filing assistance.
February 4—April 15, 2013 The city of Beaverton is continually looking for ways to improve the lives of our residents, including help with your taxes. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), can provide low-income, working families up to a $5,751 tax refund. Unfortunately, about 25% of those eligible for the EITC fail to file for it, resulting in the loss of millions of dollars for Oregonians.

Malihe at Ziba Salon"Our family discovered Mali at Ziba Salon in the Progress Ridge a few months ago and now we'll go nowhere else. My hair is easy but my wife's hair is much more complicated. Not a problem for Mali. The true test was how she handled our kids. We brought our 1 year old there for her first haircut and there was not one fuss. Then for our 3 year old, Mali made her smile and laugh making our trip to the salon a positive thing to look forward to for the whole family!" - Mike W., 46 (Sexton Mountain)

ages or getting stranded in the cold: Keep extra food, water, blankets and a first aid kit.
4. When you are cold it takes energy and burns calories to warm you up and you need some body fat to keep you warm, so keep well fed. Don't skimp on the eating. And con-serve your energy by getting more rest.
5. Limit caffeine and alcohol use when you are cold as these drinks tend to dilate or widen your blood vessels which could further drop your body temperature.
6. Check with your doctor to see if any medication you may be taken that could also contribute to or affect body temperature.

PERSONAL TESTIMONIES

Fa Beaverton area health
story, here is what some of their clients have to say:
My wife and I have been working with Jackie for over a year now. Not only is she pro-fessional, caring and skilled, she is always on time. Her workouts are tailored to each of our needs and she changes them around frequently to keep us from get-ting complacent. Jackie is very knowledgeable in the areas of osteoporosis, arthritis and aging which has been a big help. We would both highly recommend Jackie to anyone seeking a per-sonal trainer.
~ M. Willner, 65yrs. (Portland)
Jacqueline is the BEST. If you are concerned about your phys-ical fitness she can help you tremendously. I now have a per-
sonalized list of exercises which I do in my home. It is never bor-ing because I have so many from which to choose. Jacqueline is very caring and concerned that I do the exercises correctly. I have worked with Jacqueline for over a year and thanks to her I feel 20 years younger and stronger. She takes into consid-eration your health and works on creating a program to fit your needs.
- Evelyn Davis, 77yrs. (Hillsboro)
Without question, Jacqueline Sinke is one of the finest fitness
professionals I have ever known, an observation shared by all of our fitness directors and staff. Mrs. Sinke has incredible credits, and, more importantly, a caring, helpful attitude that motivates her students to work sensibly and seriously towards attaining their fitness goals. She exemplifies all of the high-quality personal characteristics desired in a fitness instructor. She exemplifies all of the high-quality personal characteristics desired in a fitness instructor.
