BRG HistoryThe 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 GoalsBeaverton 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 stores and give them a chance before moving on to businesses outside our community.

BRG AdvertisingWith 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 traffic 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 find that we're just as interested in stretching your advertising dollar as you are!

Message from the ChiefCitizens Academy

In 1993 the Beaverton Police

Citizens Academy. The Academy was designed to increase under-standing between the Department and its community through educa-tion and interaction. This has been accomplished by acquainting citi-zens, through a 12 week free class, with law enforcement, the commu-nity’s role in the criminal justice system and providing increased

understanding of the tasks police

We feel that with better under-standing, it becomes easier for

solutions to neighborhood prob-lems related to crime, fear of crime and neighborhood decay.

Currently, in its 47th session, the Beaverton Police Department Citizens Academy is one of the many ways in which we are striv-ing to develop a sense of coopera-tion to achieve our goal to provide a safe and security community for all Beaverton citizens.

If you are interested in applying for the next Citizens Academy, or would like additional information, please visit our website at www.beavertonpolice.org or contact

Historic Downtown District

First Monday of the month, 7pm at Beaverton Community Center, Community Room, 12350 SW Fifth St., Beaverton

Central NAC Meeting: If you live or own a business in Downtown Beaverton then this meeting is your way to communicate to City Hall.

By Paul Cohen

Beaverton Downtown AssociationHighlights of 2014

They say that one person can make a difference. If that’s

true, think how much a couple dozen can do!

-bers of the Beaverton Downtown Association accomplished the fol-lowing goals:• Beaverton Downtown

• Worked with City of Beaverton Economic Development Division staff on a new

Signs will soon be installed throughout the downtown to

places downtown to visit.• In conjunction with City

Economic Development Division staff, members of our organization worked on a Sign Variance Project for the Fisher/Rossi Building, which was approved by the Beaverton Planning Commission and Beaverton City Council. This will allow blade signs to be installed for each business instead of just one per building

for the Fisher/Rossi Building.• Presented a new Streetscape

Design for the south side of SW Broadway Street and received approval from City Council for the work to be completed by the summer of

• months of First Friday events from May to October, with special promotions, live music, community involvement, and

was the third year for First Friday in Beaverton’s historic downtown district. It won’t be long before it starts up again.

• First Friday committee members participated in the Beaverton Annual Parade.

• Added a new event to the downtown – “Small Boxes

Beaverton.” Eleven small busi-nesses in the historic down-town participated with free gifts, in-store drawings, and

gave visitors an incentive to explore all areas of downtown

a popular event with everyone who participated. Look for it again next year.

• Planned and presented Holiday Showcase, following the city’s tree lighting event at City Park. Holiday Showcase featured caroling, a visit with Santa, warm cider and cookies, open house activities hosted by downtown merchants, and holiday lights and window displays.

At a recent Beaverton Chamber of Commerce fundraiser, sev-eral of BDA’s volunteers were acknowledged for their volun-teer efforts: Brian and Claudia McCarter received the award for Outstanding Project Leadership,

and Donna Sanson were presented with Outstanding Team Leadership

was awarded the BDA Business of the Year.

The BDA is always in need of volunteers who want to bring their energy, experience and passion to

-mote the preservation, history, cul-ture, architecture, and public use of Beaverton’s traditional downtown area.”To learn more, contact Paul Cohen: [email protected]

Beaverton Health MattersA Resolution You Could Keep

If you are like most people, this is the time you start thinking

exercise more, relax more often. The problem with many resolu-

tions is that you can’t keep them. They’re too broad, too overwhelm-ing, or they cause more of the very problems you are trying to undo.

Think of that over-long resolu-tion list that last January seemed

February, there was a whiff of guilt

was either in the trash or buried under a “to do” stack of papers.

This year, I invite you to try something different. Pick one simple resolution that is meaning-ful to you, that doesn’t cost much, and could actually change your life and how you live it.

Here’s some suggestions:1. Make the simple things a prior-

ity: have breakfast each morn-ing, eat dinner with the tv off,

-tate or stretch at the end of the day. Pick one and stick with it.

2. Reconnect with a friend, and make a commitment to have tea or lunch with them once a month.

3. Choose a new sound or song for your morning alarm every month. Choose something that inspires you, or makes you laugh. That’s a good way to wake up!

4. Substitute your favorite fruit for that cookie bag.Pick a nearby park and spend the year really getting to know it through the seasons.Start your day with an inten-tion: perhaps it’s to be kind to yourself, or to others, or to

smile more often.7. Leave your cell phone at home

when you go out for a walk.Give yourself a bedtime and stick to it.

9. Make it a point to sing with the radio in your car, and smile when someone sees you!Walk. Walk again. Walk some more. And when you’re walk-

no music, no distractions. See what the music of the neighbor-

I’d love to hear from you about what you choose! Send me your resolutions at: [email protected]

Food for ThoughtChange is a process

It’s hard to not get excited about -

sibilities and opportunities. In our ongoing effort to improve our overall health and well being let’s make a plan for change and take steps toward it’s success.

Change is a process. The Transtheoretical Model

intentional behavioral change TTM, with it’s “stages of change” theory, targets the whole popula-tion believing people move through a series of stages when modifying behavior.

Stage 1: precontemplation: you don’t yet think you have a problem.

Stage 2: contemplation: you may be, beginning to think you could change some things, but not any time soon.

Stage 3: preparation: you now have a plan of action and believe you are ready to get started.

Stage 4: action: you have made

Stage 5: maintenance: you have had success now you need support to continue.

Stage 6: termination: your new behavior has become an automatic behavior, like waking up and drinking a glass of water or skipping desert.

Enjoy your success, stage 1. When you are ready, choose another aspect of your lifestyle you want to change, stage 2. Proceed to stage 3 and so on.

YOU!“Let food be thy medicine!”

Diamonds: Pieces of Stars that Fell to EarthThe magical nature of diamonds

Shave been treasured for both their beauty and strength. Great mythology surrounds the strongest material on earth!

-monds, they are believed to be the weapon of Indra- the god of war and thunder. Crystals of all forms are believed to be ‘unripe’ dia-monds. When struck by lightning they ‘ripen’ into diamonds. These ripe crystals combat evil and offer

strength and even render the bearer invisible in battle! The Maharajas coveted and wore the most extrav-agant jewels hoping to harness the

protection the stones offered. In ancient times this powerful

stone was never cut nor polished, as it was believed that this would

diminish the magical powers of the crystal.

The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were parts from a star that fell to earth or that they were the tears of gods. They also believed that diamonds were a

-

and gave magic powers.Through the middle ages dia-

monds were used in their raw, sim-ple state. It is only later in history that they were cut and faceted into the gems we know as diamonds.

The current trend in jewelry revives this ancient tradition of

using diamonds in the ‘raw’ with minimal facets and polish. This showcases the metaphysical nature of the crystal. It makes this style of diamond a perfect love token for Valentines Day- or any day you want to celebrate and protect your love.

2 heart healthy recepies to try

Healthy Baked Sweet Potato Skins &

Apple Cinnamon Water

Winter! Apples, pumpkins, spices and everything nice.

Having had my fair share of pumpkin spiced lattes these past two months,

with not as many calories as my favorite coffee beverages and this is what I found: Apple-Cinnamon Water, zero calories and supposedly with detoxing properties.

All you need is a large pitcher. Slice up 1 apple and drop it into the pitcher along with a cinnamon

Cover and refrigerate overnight and enjoy it the next day. So easy and tastes like Winter.

After indulging myself with all the Apple Cinnamon Water I could drink this morning, I then craved something baked, warm and comfy

a Baked Sweet Potato Skins recipe that looked promising. Try it and you be the judge!

Ingredients• 2 large sweet potatoes• 2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil• 1/2 a medium red onion

• 2 cloves of garlic, minced• 1 bag fresh baby spinach• ¼ cup light sour cream• 2 ounces light cream cheese• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella

cheese• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions1.

fork tender. Don't turn off the oven as yet.

2. Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven, cut in half and leave it to cool. Once cooled scoop out the sweet potato out of the peel. Make sure to leave a thin layer inside with the peel. This will help it stand on its own. I used a grapefruit spoon to scrape out the sweet potatoes.

Roasted Baby CarrotsCarrots! Raw or Cooked? My

family has always been the ‘eat them raw’ kind. I cannot get my husband and son to eat them cooked. It’s a texture thing I suppose. So over the Summer when I bought some baby carrots from the Beaverton Farmers Market, I declared that I wanted to try and roast them to see if my two boys would eat them. My husband was skeptical but determined to give it a try. I roasted them shorter that required and that left a little crunch to it that was good enough to get the husband and son to eat the whole plate. I consider this a great accomplishment! This dish would go well with poultry or meat entree. They are also very good to snack on.

Ingredients:•

• tossing the carrots in and 1 Tbs mixed with fresh herbs to

• 2 Tbs Orange Juice• • •

decided to use Parsley and Dill. You could also use Thyme.

Directions:1. 2. Blanch the carrots in a pot of

3. Mix together the 2 Tbs of olive oil, orange juice and toss the carrots to coat.

4. Line the carrots on to a baking tray, cover with foil and roast

Remove from the oven and toss the carrots in honey, salt and pepper and then line them up again on the baking tray. Bake

Mix 1 Tbs of olive oil with minced herbs. Place on a plate and drizzle this herbed olive oil on the carrots.

Automotive Q&A with the Beaverton Car GuyIf you’ve got an auto question, I’ve got an auto answer!

Q: Hello, I have a 1 year old vehicle and I have a musty smell whenever my heater-defrost, or Air Conditioner is in operation. Is there an easy fix for this?

A: Yes, this is very simple

located in the dash area, usually behind the glove box area. This

travel inside the cabin of the vehi-cle. This is a simple item to replace and if you get one from the Dealer, instruction on how to replace it will be included.

Q: My 2003 Dodge Caravan has a squealing nose that is consistent with engine rotation when I start it for the first time of the day, or after it has been sitting for more than a couple of hours. Can you please tell me what this noise is, and what needs to be done?

A: This noise is coming from the serpentine belt assembly, typically when the serpentine belt becomes worn it gets a glaze on it, and this is where the noise comes from. I will note that on this vehicle no matter which engine option it came with, there is an idler pulley, that has a bearing in it. This idler pulley is made of plastic, and the bearing is sealed. This means that the bearing cannot be lubricated. It is a very good idea to always replace the serpentine belt, as well as the idler pulley at the same time. This vehi-cle also has a pulley that is a spring

loaded tensioner, also with a plastic pulley. Both Pulley’s and the belt should be inspected. This system

only one belt that runs everything off the front of the engine. In the event the belt, or either pulley fails, you will no doubt be stranded on the side of the road. Poor design, and quite noisy once the vehicle

recommend checking these items during routine servicing.

Q: I have noticed on my VW that even in warm weather the windshield is fogging up. Now that the weather has begun to change to colder weather, it seems to betting worse. What is this and is it an easy repair?

A: From the description you have given, this sounds like the heater core. The heater core is inside the cabin behind the

dashboard. It is a costly repair. This is a common issue with vehicles with higher mileage. The heater core is a part that looks very much like a small radiator, the engine coolant-antifreeze circu-lates through the heater core which allows air from the blower motor, or heater or Air conditioning fan, to blow air across and through it in order to heat the vehicle’s cabin. The reason the windshield is fog-ging is because the heater core is beginning to leak. The heater core would require the entire dashboard of the vehicle being removed in order to gain access to it. This repair is very costly, and in some cases is more expensive than the net worth of the vehicle, depending on the age and mileage. I would suggest getting more than one esti-mate on this repair.

Q: Hall Blvd has two lanes, both ways, with a separate left turn lane con-

trolled by a light. Is it lawful for a bicycle rider to use the left turn lane to nego-tiate a left turn or are they required to use the pedestrian crossing and abide by the pedestrian signals?

A: Bicycle Riders must follow the same laws as motor vehicles (ORS 814.400).

Q: Is it unlawful for a motorcy-clist to stand up, like in an off

road riding position, while riding on the street?

A: Yes. A motorcyclist must sit with one leg on each side of the seat, facing forward and without any articles that prevents the rider from keeping both hands on the handlebars (ORS 814.200)

Q My grandmother who drives extremely cautious stops a half a car length or more behind the white

stripe at a stop sign. Then when she goes, it almost feels like she is running the stop sign and could get a ticket even though she came to a full stop. Could she get a ticket?

A: According to ORS 811.260, your grandmother can stop at any point so long as she has a view of approaching traffic on the intersection roadway before entering it.

Q: Is there a law or statute on blinker speed in Oregon? In other words, can I be pulled over and

ticketed for the turn signal on my car blinking too fast?

A: There is no speed limit on blinker speed. However, if your blinker starts blinking fast, either your light bulb is burning out or your flasher is malfunctioning. Either way, you can be stopped and ticketed for not having a working blinker (ORS. 816.330 Operation without required lighting equipment). So if this is happening to you, get it checked out.

From the Desk of the Beaverton Police Dept.Introducing the Police Records Division

Ia favorite team you can probably name the starting quarterback, the

running backs. You may not be as familiar with the offensive line, however. Think of the Beaverton Police Records Division as the offensive front line. Running backs don’t gain yardage without block-ing up front, quarterbacks go down without support and wide receivers never make it into the secondary. Enough with the football analo-gies. Bottom line is that the support personnel in the Records Division may be the most under recognized asset that the agency has.

Musings of a Beaverton TeenWhat does it take to be a hero?

Does one have to be tall, strong,

they need to have a physical entity of evil that they must destroy in order to be considered a hero?

I personally feel that although these scenarios are interesting to

what makes a hero in real life. To be a hero, you don’t have to

be a hulking giant that makes a liv-ing by beating up the bad guys. In my opinion, a true hero is someone

life of others in some way. A hero is someone who goes out of their way to make the lives of others better, with no expectations for anything in return.

I recently had a conversation with my father about one of his heroes: his uncle. He told me about how when his father left while he was still an infant, his uncle stepped up to help my grandmother raise him. His uncle, the man I know as Tio Enrique, who served for 12 years in the U.S. Army, is the reason my dad is who he is today.

My dad calls Tio Enrique his hero because it was not required

-ure at that moment, but he did anyways. That is one marking of a true hero, not even counting

military for the freedom we all are able to enjoy today. Tio Enrique

never expected to get anything out of helping raise my dad, all he wanted to see him grow into a good man. He wanted my father to be looked at as a hero for how he

I believe my father grew into the hero that Tio Enrique always wanted him to be. In the most recent years that I can remember, my dad has been the volunteer coach of many different little league teams. Even without being on the team, watch-ing him coach my younger brother and the rest of the kids, I could see how he inspired them. They would all huddle up before a game and when they broke, each kid would

There have been times when family friends have brought their kids by because they needed my dad to talk to them. Seeing how my dad has affected the lives of so many in the community has inspired me to want to do the same. He is a hero, and although it may sound cliche, I want to be just like him when I grow up.

I want to better the lives of

those around me, leaving things better than when I got there. I want

to inspire others to do good. That is what being a hero is all about.

Ezell has been shooting recre-ationally her whole life. She started in a junior program, took a safety course, then started participat-ing in competitive Olympic style

shooting. Since she started with her .22 cricket, she’s moved on to a .22 caliber small bore gun which she used for over two years, and then transitioned to her personal

However, Ezell hopes to put her skills to use and gain scholarships for her abilities from one of the roughly twenty colleges that have shooting teams.

Women today are getting out and exploring the world

Remembering Beaverton 100 Years AgoExcursion came! First electric train over the PE&E tracks

January 24, 1914 issue of The Owl

Last Saturday morning, a large crowd of Beaverton citizens

gathered at the S.P. Depot to wel--

sion over the PE&E. tracks, and at

throats, and to the entrancing strains of the famous Beaverton military band, the Portland Commercial

-nent newspaper men of Portland

and Washington county came into the gateway to the greatest counties in Oregon.

President Piper made a splen-

Hocken, mayor of Beaverton, responded with a royal welcome to the greatest Garden City in the state, "where King Horseradish governs the day and Queen Onion rules the night," and the subjects of this dominion are the happiest people on earth.

The big red [train] cars, to the stirring tunes of the band, then departed for the carshops [to be] thoroughly inspected.

Then the train departed on a round of welcomes at Tigard, Tualatin and Sherwood, “Home of Onions.” Seemed everybody at these places were at the depots ready with a glad hand, and at Sherwood, the “Beaverdam

Diamonds,” commonly known

and W.O. Hocken with others was photographed with a big onion in his hand.

Here the excursion passed through another grand county,

"Old Yamhill," eating lunch at

parade was on the program, and the McMinnville band took the lead at the royal entertainment.

Coming down the line to Gaston, Dillev, Forest Grove, Cornelius, Hillsboro and Reedville, at everyone of these cities, enthusi-astic crowds lavished out the best of entertainments and glad greet-

and the folks stayed till morning" singing the praises of that new depot they are expecting.

Truly in a broad sense, the "coming of the red cars" means millions to the Willamette valley.

To Aloha-Huber: Farmington Road ExtensionOne great project of 1914 that

is of vital interest to this end of Washington County is the proposed county road, between Beaverton, St. Mary’s, Huber, Aloha and Reedville, due east and west paralleled with the S.P. track.

The future welfare of the pros-perous towns, above-named, would be greatly promoted by direct com-munication on a skyline road, well rocked, and The Owl believes now is the time to commence boosting the project through.

Let the Commercial Clubs of these cities petition the County Court for immediate action. It will be easy to rock by distributing rock from the S.P. track, adjoining to where needed.

This historic newspaper column is made possible with funding from the Beaverton Library Foundation.

fertility enhancement and wellness for more than a decade.

Effective Jan. 1, 2015, THPRD is implementing changes

that will bene t many tness enthusiasts, military families, and participants who live outside district boundaries.The district is taking a new approach to its group tness programming, dropping the preregistration requirement for more than 200 weekly group classes, including yoga, Pilates, Zumba, BodyPump and aqua tness classes. (Elsie Stuhr Center

and Tualatin Hills Nature Center patrons may still preregister for some group tness programs.) The district’s new Deluxe Pass allows patrons to participate in group tness classes at any

facility whenever space permits. It provides up to two hours of free childcare at participating facilities, and also includes access to pools, weight rooms, cardio equipment and other drop-in bene ts included with the General Pass (formerly Frequent User Pass). “We wanted to introduce a more user-friendly model to give guests better access to all of our facilities,” said Sharon Hoffmeister, superintendent of Aquatics. “The more you use it, the lower your cost per visit, and there’s nothing lost when you don’t go.” The Deluxe Pass for an adult (ages 18-57) can be purchased monthly for $51.50 or at a discounted rate for periods of three, six or 12 months. Daily admission to a tness class, without the childcare

bene t, is $10 for in-district adults. To encourage more participation by out-of-district residents, THPRD is introducing an option

that lets them choose to pay a 25% premium for each class taken, instead of the required assessment ($80 quarterly or $320 annually). This option will apply to all classes as well as General Passes, Deluxe Passes, and drop-in activities.

THPRD also now allows out-of-district residents to begin registering two days after in-district residents. Previously, the waiting period was six days.THPRD is also introducing a 10% discount for military personnel (including veterans) and

dependent family members.“The idea of a discount for military personnel is one that has been discussed here at THPRD for a long time,” said Director of Planning Aisha Willits. “We are pleased to nally make it happen and honor them and their families for their service to our nation.”In addition, the district will begin implementing a ve-year schedule to standardize, at 10%, larger discounts currently provided to seniors, youth, and patrons with special needs. Reduction of current discounts will be carried out over a multiyear period.

BCL @ Murray Scholls Expansion ProjectA vibrant new space for children and families

Construction for the expanded Murray Scholls Library

Branch has just begun. We are incredibly excited about

increasing our children’s learn-ing space. With our new space, we seek to offer a wider range of opportunities to engage the entire family, including additional sto-rytimes, new family events, and

We also look forward to

increased participation in our Summer Reading Program, which currently boasts average atten-

family members each week during the summer.

To make our vision a reality, Murray Scholls will be closed to the public during certain peri-ods of construction, including approximately two weeks staring

Although the library might not be open, an outside bookdrop is always available for those who wish to return materials. Furthermore, items that are checked out at Murray Scholls will not come due during closed periods.

Items that are reserved and set for pick up at the library during closed periods will not be shipped until the library reopens and patrons will not lose their place in line. For those who do not wish to wait, patrons may also request to collect their items at a different library.

For more information about Murray Scholls closures and services changes, please call the Main Library at 503-644-2197, visit our website at http://www.beavertonlibrary.org/MurrayScholls, or follow our Instagram account @BeavertonLib #MurraySchollsExpansion.
