The Beaverton Police Department’s Volunteer

Program was created to form a working partnership between citizens and the police to enhance communications and assist the Beaverton Police Department in the delivery of quality services.

Our citizen volunteers are a cross-section of the community who have graduated from our Citizens Academy and work on a variety of projects including:

Car seat clinics Clerical duties Computer and mapping projects Department tours Distributing emergency food baskets to the needy Home Security Program HomeSafe Program

The program is not designed to have the volunteer replace professional staff, but is aimed at providing a supplementary and complementary role. Volunteers, when given appropriate training, can supplement present services and become a valuable addition to the Beaverton Police Department. In 2012 we had an active roster of 72 volunteers who donated more than 6,806 hours – the equivalent of three full-time employees.

The Beaverton Police Department places a high value on the contributions made by our wonderful volunteer staff. If you would like more information about the program, or how to become a volunteer yourself, please contact 503-526-2562.

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!

THPRD: connecting people, parks and natureBoard OKs new logothat’s clean, simple;rollout to be phased

The Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District Board of Directors have unanimously approved a new logo -- the rst major overhaul of the district symbol since the founding of THPRD in 1955.“We wanted a new logo that is fresh and modern and future-oriented,” said THPRD General Manager Doug

Menke. “The one we chose signi es diversity, both in terms of our population makeup and the services we offer. We like how simple and clean and readable it is with bold colors. Plus it has an active look.”The words “Tualatin Hills” are purposely larger than the rest of the Park District name because that’s how many patrons refer to the agency. Another reason was to distinguish THPRD from public agencies with “Tualatin Valley” in their names.Approval of the logo culminated a creative process that started several months ago when Frank Creative of Portland was chosen as project

consultant. The district reviewed dozens of design options by the contractor and listened to many opinions before narrowing the choices to one.Because of all the ways a logo is used, and the need to control costs, the district will use a phased approach to rollout. Some applications will be implemented quickly while others will take more time. Full implementation will take years. “We’re excited about this,” Menke said. “It sends a message that we embrace change – even when it comes to our longtime logo. We

aren’t resting on our past. We’re taking on new service and nancial initiatives while also working to better serve our dramatically changed community, and the new logo is part of that spirit of action.”

About THPRDFormed in 1955, THPRD is the largest special park district in Oregon, spanning about 50 square miles and serving 230,000 residents in the greater Beaverton area. The district provides year-round recreational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. Offerings include thousands of widely diverse classes, 90 park sites with active recreational amenities, 60 miles of trails, eight swim centers, six recreation centers, and 1,400 acres of natural areas. For more information, visit www.thprd.org or call 503/645-6433.

A week after his iPad was stolen on the MAX, a 62-year-old

Beaverton man was surprised with a new one, thanks to generous do-nations from the community.

The Portland Nerdfighters and Portland Singing Christmas Tree surprised Gary Meierotto with a brand new iPad at the Mac Store in Beaverton.

Meierotto uses his iPad as his pri-mary means of communcation.

“This is like a miracle, I’m tell-ing you,” said Meierotto. “Like a miracle.”

The groups spent a week collect-ing donations from the community to purchase the new device.

“We just wanted to make sure he had the very best iPad,” said Willy Dolan with the Portland Singing

Christmas Tree. “It’s already loaded with everything he needs to com-municate with friends and family. We also got him a nice case so he can hold onto it so nobody can take it from him.”

Meierotto was on an eastbound

MAX train in southeast Portland when two men began being aggres-sive toward him.

When the train came to a stop at the 102nd Avenue transit station, one of the suspects grabbed the iPad right out of Meierotto’s hands

and ran off the train.

Police have not recovered his stolen iPad, but now that he has a new one he can once again commu-nicate with family and friends out of town.

“For the Portland Singing Christ-mas Tree, he’s a gentleman who comes to our shows every year and he’s our biggest supporter in terms of enthusiasm and love,” said Dolan. “He’s an amazing man.”

Meierotto’s new iPad is loaded with security features including tracking software and password protection.

Look for stories like these every night on “The 10 O’clock News” on FOX 12.

Shipwrecks occurred with alarming frequency

in early coastal seafaring history. Violent storms, heavy seas, and hidden reefs plagued sea captains as they brought vessels across the mouths of rivers into port. One of the most tragic and documented maritime disasters on Oregon’s South Coast was the wreck of the 223’ Santa Clara. The wooden steamship was inbound on her run from Portland

the port of Coos Bay. About 60 passengers and crew were aboard, many from the Portland area, as well as 6,400 pounds of parcel post mail, personal household possessions, and Christmas merchandise. In the late afternoon of November 2, 1915, she struck an uncharted shoal at the entrance to Coos Bay.

Captain August Lofstedt faced a critical situation. The ship was

Badly injured survivors suffered from exposure, burns, and broken limbs. Exhausted and cold, they waited for help.

Several factors hampered

By the third day, the ship’s owners hadn’t given merchants permission to retrieve the goods. Exasperated retailers hired men to board the vessel and take what they had paid for. A free-for-all of looting followed, fueled partly by casks of

Canned and paper goods, clothing, and anything else of value that wasn’t salvaged or pirated were destroyed by leaking oil and water.

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first."

"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."

"An honest man in politics shines more there than he would elsewhere."

"I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's."

"All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity."

"Patriot: the person who can holler the loudest without knowing what he is hollering about."

"Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it."

Adds Hours; Celebrates First Anniversary

The Aloha Community Library Association has expanded the

library hours from 29 to 37 hours

interest and community support of the library. Currently, 2-3 trained volunteers are available for each hour of operation. With this expansion, the library is now open from 10am to 8pm on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, and from 10am to 5pm on Saturday. Family storytime continues to be offered each Wednesday morning from 10:30-11:30am.

On October 20th, the Aloha Community Library Association held its annual members' meeting and a community open house to

operation. The open house, held in a nearby vacated Blockbuster Video building, included live music by

library patrons about the impact the library has made in their lives, and the presentation of a $15,000 check to the library by Washington

County Commissioner Dick Schouten to help the library begin planning for a larger space.

In November, a number of events will be held including a "Scrapbooking with Betsy" event from 6:30-8:30pm on Tuesday, November 12. For the latest information on programs and events check the library's calendar at alohalibrary.org.

The library depends on volunteers, cash donations and book donations to keep going and growing. Stop by the library and check us out!

The ABA supports a strong community that is Affordable, Accessible and Safe! Be sure to check out our "Everything Aloha" community calendar at our website: alohabusinessassociation.com

Change is Coming to Aloha!the County approves building projects and road improvements, we see those projects progress all year long. Lots of new housing in the works. The widening of roads to improve safety and reduce congestion is in various stages of development.

Change is coming to Aloha. No, we are not likely to become part of either the City of Beaverton or Hillsboro any time soon. Although my GPS says I'm in Beaverton as does the Oregon DMV when residents renew their driver's licenses. Perhaps that is in our future.

The Aloha Business Association is in it's 3rd year of existence and has about 70 current members. When we started in February of 2011 we wanted to provide a forum for Aloha business owners

to gather and meet each other, and build a stronger community. With limited resources from our annual $60 dues, we have provided the

held in Aloha, for Aloha residents. We support the local Christmas tree lighting each year, and have supported the development of the Aloha Library among many other things. Changes are coming, so if you own or operate a business in the Aloha Community, please check out our website and consider supporting our efforts. It is a good investment for both current and future positive returns.

Exploring the Wonders of 3D Printing and More!

The Round is thrilled to announce our newest Tenant,

BOGZA. Timothy Bogza founded

illustrations and animations for clients working in architecture, interior design, master planning and urban design.

BOGZA is currently expanding into new markets including trial animation and 3D printing.

What is 3D PrintingFor years, architects have used

sophisticated drafting programs like Revit and ArchiCAD to create realistic 3D simulations of their projects. Unfortunately, when these architects prepared to show their work to waiting clients, they

ink models and a lot of words to describe their projects. 3D printing technologies hope to change all that, allowing architects to move directly from drafting to holding a fully dimensional model in their hands.

3D printing begins with a 3D

drawing made in a computer. The printing program then cuts that 3D drawing into very small, very thin horizontal sections, and each section is printed and stacked, one on top of the other. Most architectural 3D printers use paper, but some printers also accept metal, plastics or even ceramic. When the printing is complete, the model is a freestanding work of art.

3D printing is also relatively inexpensive. While it might take a craftsman days in order to build a model to scale, a printer might be able to spit out a completed project in a matter of hours!

Q&A with TimothyQ: Timothy, why did you move your headquarters to The Round?My goal was to find a larger and affordable creative space that also offered other necessary qualities to suit the company's needs. The Round proved to be an accommodating location for both staff and clients in terms of convenience and community.

Q: What were you looking for in your new space?The Round had several elements

that made it an ideal location to headquarter our company, but I especially appreciated that it had a solid balance of modern influence, community, and accessibility. It's exceptionally close to public transit and near a main highway which provides easy access for staff and clients while simultaneously offering a community-oriented atmosphere.

Q: How was the transition into The Round?SKB (the local real estate private equity firm who owns The Round) was wonderful to work with. They saw our vision and supported us through the whole transition process.

Tim also noted that he is one of the few established firms operating on both a local and national scale within the Portland-Metro area that specializes in architectural 3D printing.

Congratulations Tim and the whole team at BOGZA! We love having you in The Round community.

By Karen WersteinThe Round, the premier mixed use space of the West Side providing local restaurants, creative workspace, condominiums, a mass transit center and sustainable, energy-efficient buildings, has a new website.

From Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Signs of changing seasons have

crept in bringing us hints of wind and precipitation that we can expect to continue over the next few months. As we make this seasonal transition, here are a few tips from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue to keep you warm and safe.

For those with woodstoves and fireplaces, remember:

Burn only dry, seasoned wood

Christmas trees, gift-wrapping,

the damper wideKeep clothing, newspapers, and

woodstoveAshes can retain heat and stay

therefore dispose of ashes in a metal container with tight-

away from any structures. Never use paper, cardboard, or plastic containers/waste baskets for storing ashesHave a safety screen or glass door in place to help prevent

Before you turn on those baseboard and wall heaters, take some safety precautions including:

Keep curtains, mattresses, furniture, clothing, toys, and all other combustibles a minimum of three feet from all baseboard, wall, and portable heatersRemember, especially in cold weather – heaters may turn on, even while in the off position!Never use kerosene, propane or other outdoor-use heaters

and there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoningNever use extension cords with portable heatersTurn off, or unplug all portable heaters when leaving the room and never leave them unattendedRemember that one of the

best ways to stay safe is to have working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. TVF&R wishes you a safe winter season.

If you would like any additional tips or information about these or other safety tips, please visit us at www.tvfr.com.

It’s time to clean and review your jewelry. Fine jewelry can last life times

with proper care- here are a few tips from the professionals for home care:

General CareAs a rule of thumb jewelry

should be the last thing you put

thing you take off. This avoids contact with make-up, perfume, hairspray and lotions that can dull and damage jewelry. You also should remove jewelry when doing housework.

Cleaning Platinum and Gold Jewelry

Before cleaning, look over your pieces making sure they are in good condition- prongs are secure and stones are all in place. Use a

non-abrasive jewelry cleaner such as mild dish soap and warm water and a soft toothbrush. Soak the

to remove any dirt. Rinse in warm running water and allow to dry on an absorbent towel.

Stones and PearlsWhile diamonds are the world’s

hardest stone, many other gems are more fragile, and require special attention while being cleaned or repaired. Be sure to treat emeralds, Lapis lazuli, turquoise and pearls

with care. Store them in separate cloth pouches and use a chamois to wipe them down after wear to preserve their appearance. Jewelry cleaners can damage

It is highly recommended to have them professionally cleaned. If

since you've had your pearl strand professionally cleaned and re-strung, it might be time to get them checked by your local jeweler. Because silk ages over time it can

weaken, even if your pearls aren't being worn regularly.

Sterling Silver Avoid contact with chemicals

such as chlorine, cosmetics, hairspray and perfume as they have acids in them that can damage and discolor sterling silver. Wash your jewelry periodically with mild soap and water being sure to rinse well and dry completely before storing.

Saturdays: May 11 - Nov 23 (8am - 1:30pm)

I have a confession. I loathe bell peppers! Admitting this often

makes me feel like a failure as a vegetarian but I am afraid that it is the truth. Red, yellow, green – it doesn’t matter. If you want to kill a pizza for me, top it with bell peppers. When I tell this to people they are often appalled that I won’t make an exception for roasted peppers, which they seem to think do not taste like bell peppers. Ugh! The mere thought of it makes my stomach churn. There is only one recipe in which I can tolerate bell peppers and that is in this salad from my friend Liz, a cooking instructor in San Diego. The tasty sweet and sour dressing does something to the peppers to make them acceptable to my taste buds.

Besides being delicious, Marinated Cabbage Salad is super simple to put together and gets

dull after a couple of days but it

a day ahead of time which makes it my go-to recipe for parties and pot lucks. Believe me when I tell you that you will make this dish often, even if you are a bell pepper hater like me.

A printer friend version can be found on our website under the “Cooking Fresh” tab.

Toss together in large bowl:1 large white cabbage, torn into bite sized pieces1 green pepper, thinly sliced1 red onion, thinly sliced

Shake in a glass jar or whisk in a bowl:

1 c. sugar1 c. white wine vinegar1t. whole mustard seed¾ c. salad oil1t. whole celery seed1T. saltPour over cabbage. Let sit for

4 hours or up to 24 hours, stirring occasionally.

Serve with a slotted spoon, discard excess dressing.

See you at the Market!

Market MasterGinger Rapport

Anyone who has been to the Market has met the beautiful, bubbly Zoe Ann. She is a hoot and a hard worker. A successful vendor at the market for eight years, Zoe Ann is as famous for her infectious laugh as she is for her passion for her work. She was featured as part of the TriMet bus campaign: Why We Live Here, and was included in the 2012 State of Beaverton City Address. She is an exuberant,

It was just one of those things. I was working in Pennsylvania. I had a penchant for baking, and would bring cheesecakes into the

crazy for them. This made me very happy. Before long coworkers were paying me to make cakes for every occasion. It was a Buddha moment. I thought, “Wow, I can get paid for something I really love to do!” I started doing research on where to establish my business. Living in Pennsylvania, I chose

As a graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu Program in Culinary Studies, I enjoy experiencing the fine dining available at so many of our local eating establishments. Beaverton has such diversity to offer the curious palate that it's hard to know where to begin. Well, now you can start your month off right here with me and my 3 Dishes Review.

These are not your typical poppers that are usually breaded

in smoked bacon whilst stuffed with cotija and jack cheeses AND chorizo sausage. Served with a raspberry and apple cider reduction dipping sauce, these poppers are a must taste even for those who tend to shy away from the spicy side.

The bacon does not overwhelm the pepper, which can vary in heat

The sauce provides a nice sweet paring to the spiciness of the

light but the winner here is the addition of the chorizo. It adds that level of boldness, which makes this appetizer a great way to start an evening out.

������Seafood Linguine Pescatore (Price: $15.99)

What? You had me at seafood! I, being a huge fan of the ocean, was not disappointed with Dish #2. Simple in its approach, mixing ������

perfectly prepared linguini, with

tomato sauce.The linguini is tender but not

soft. The mix of seafood is cooked to perfection, delicate and robust. The tomato provides enough acidity to give this dish bite and the wine helps to balance in all of the ingredients. Bring your appetite for this one; you might want to share

envision ordering a dish like this on a cool, autumn night.

Alas! What this place is known

If the dough is too thin, it will burn. Too thick and it does not cook all the way through. This is a ‘foodie’ kind of pizza. Full of character and life.

Billed as one of their best sellers, this pizza is prepared with pesto, fresh mozzarella and goat cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, prosciutto, roasted garlic and

can tell that the dough is nice and crispy. The garlic is nutty and buttery while the prosciutto

adds savory delight to the pie. The cheeses are not overdone. With this style of pizza, too much cheese can ruin how the crust cooks. Well done, molte grazie!

My sincerest kudos to Dana, Warren and Victor, the head chef, for inviting me to their establishment. Nothing makes great food taste better that great friendly service. Trust me on this one, folks, B.J. Willy’s is doing a fantastic job; their addition to Progress Ridge is to our advantage.

Good eats, everybody!

A Message from the Senior Citizen's Advisory Committee

Having moved here from Texas a little over a year ago, I am

Northwest. The cool weather, the changing of the foliage colors and the falling leaves help to create an atmosphere of appreciation for all things autumn. I am one of those who enjoy the hustle and bustle of the season. My mind whizzes with plans and preparations for Thanksgiving. What size turkey do I need? Yum... . turkey.. . .but more about that later. How many pies do we bake? Who's bringing what? The list goes on

and on.When we put aside all of the

stress and chaos of planning the

perfect celebration, we afford ourselves the opportunity to experience the true meaning of

Thanksgiving. What are we thankful for? For most, it is time with family or cherished memories thereof. For some, it is for the bounty that has been bestowed throughout the past year. For kids, small and large alike, we wait all year for one perfect golden brown turkey which we then devour in mere minutes. Not all turkey is roasted. We choose to lovingly slow smoke

woods for hours on

buttery bite! Some Texas traditions must continue!

This Thanksgiving season, let

the grandeur of the abundance of blessings in our lives. For one moment, let us step outside take a breath of crisp autumn air and just say “Thank You!”

As the winter months approach, it is a good time

to make or revisit your disaster plan. Here are some tips from the American Red Cross and Ready.gov plus a great tip from Washington County Cooperative Library Services.

The American Red Cross recommends that senior citizens create a personal support network made up of several individuals who will check in on you in an emergency, to ensure your wellness and to give assistance if needed. Ideally, a minimum of three people can be

you regularly spend time, for example at work, home, school or volunteer site.

Make arrangements, prior to an emergency, for your support network to immediately check on you after a disaster and, if needed, offer assistance.

Exchange important keys. Be sure to talk over with family

Show them where you keep emergency supplies.Share copies of your relevant emergency documents, evac-uation plans and emergency health information card.Agree on and practice methods for contacting each other in an emergency. Do not count on the telephones working.You and your personal support network should always notify each other when you are going out of town and when you will return.Pack a photocopy of your library card, which makes it easy to contact friends/family or do business on-line at the library

Remember to check your speed and enjoy the ride!

Nov. 9th, 6-9pm

Art On Broadway announces a new exhibit titled “Nature

Inspired” featuring work by Elaine Tan and Gretha Lindwood. Tan’s artfully handcrafted jewelry and Lindwood’s evocative paintings in oils or pastels celebrate the diversity of the individual artists’ engagement with nature. The public is invited to a reception to honor the artists and their work Sat., Nov. 9, from 6pm to 9pm. Complimentary wine and refreshments will be served. The show continues through Nov. 30.

Tan explains, “Born and raised in Hong Kong, I bring with me a multi-cultural sensitivity to my art. One of my passions is the process of weaving together a symphony of colors, textures and design. To me, nature itself is art in its purest form. That is why I love to combine the use of natural semi-precious stones, organic materials, metals, stones and other materials to create a design that displays a delicate mix of balance vs. asymmetry, simplicity vs. complexity, much like the balancing of “yin and yang”.

Lindwood’s love of nature is evident in her landscape paintings. Working with oil paints on canvas or pastels on sand paper, Lindwood paints primarily en plein air, a French term meaning in the open air. She points out, “My Swedish parents made sure my sister and I received plenty of fresh air and playtime outside, and we went on many family hikes and campouts. I guess I was destined to work outside.” She adds, “I often hear comments about how a viewer can imagine themselves in the scene I’ve painted.”

Located at 12570 SW Broadway Street, Beaverton, Oregon, Art On Broadway is within walking distance of the Max stop at Beaverton Round and just a few doors west of the Beaverton History Center. Open Tuesday through Saturday 11am to 5 pm. Phone 503-601-3300 for more information or visit our website http://artonbroadway.net

Patrick TakataMost high schoolers start off

their working careers by

burgers or busing tables. Rare is the teenager - or adult, for that matter - who can make money off their artwork, but that’s exactly what Beaverton High School junior Patrick Takata has accomplished.

Takata has been doing art for three years now, dabbling in painting, abstract drawing, and

the artist scratches an outline

plaster. He also enjoys sculpting, ceramics, and public chalk art, which he does with his friends. Depending on the size, it usually takes Takata one to two days to

June of this year. Since then, he has sold four more paintings to various buyers. Recently, he set a new record for himself, selling a painting for a personal high of $135. It was the largest piece he’s sold yet at 16 inches by 20 inches, done in acrylic paints. Inspired by his love for music, he painted a stylized Daft Punk helmet after one of his favorite bands.

Originally, he had made a smaller version of the painting and posted a photo of it on instagram, where he showcases much of his work. One of his followers saw the picture and responded, “I love this! Could you make a larger version?” to which Takata gave an enthusiastic “Yes!”

Not only does Takata sell his artwork, he also sells T-shirts with his good friend, Andrei Eugenio,

another junior at Beaverton High. Takata and Eugenio have been in the T-shirt business together for two years now. They use a silk screen on polyester cotton shirts to do their prints. “We can create any design as long as it

said Takata. So far, they’ve sold over 500 shirts at $15 dollars each.

Takata hopes to continue his artwork in the future. His goal is to attend the University of Carr where he plans to major in Fine Arts.With so much success so early on, he’s sure to shine wherever his future takes him.

Zoo News is good news!Zoo News is good news!: Zoo Set To Illuminate Holidays At Annual Zoolights

Popular display opens Nov. 29 with more than a million colorful lights

The Oregon Zoo invites visitors to brighten their holiday nights

at ZooLights, where sparkling lights and brilliant hues transform the zoo into a winter wonderland. Presented by Toyota with support

from The Boeing Company, the traditional holiday light show begins Friday, Nov. 29, and runs through Jan. 5 at the zoo.

This year’s ZooLights promises a more immersive experience, with visitors moving in a continuous loop around the zoo through areas that haven’t been lit up before. One spectacular new section through the zoo’s Africa Rainforest features a twisting, 100-foot-long rainbow-colored tunnel of light.

Much-loved displays from previous years are back too. Life-

size 3-D animals gather on the zoo’s concert lawn, which transforms into meandering river of light. Hippos graze near the water while crocodiles lie in wait. Other returning favorites include leaping reindeer, trumpeting elephants, playful penguins and tobogganing polar bears.

The zoo railway is temporarily out of service this year as construction crews lay tracks for a new route designed to provide better views. While it won’t be offering rides, the famous Oregon steam engine will be decked out in holiday

are expected to be running again in

In keeping with the zoo’s commitment to sustainability, most of the lights displayed are LEDs

only a fraction of the power of standard holiday lights. LEDs don’t burn out the way traditional bulbs do, ensuring a long lasting, eco-friendly ZooLights experience.

ZooLights hours are 5-8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and

5-8:30 p.m. Friday through Saturday. ZooLights will be closed Dec. 24-25. Keep an eye on oregonzoo.org for specials such as two-for-one ZooLights admission in partnership with your local Toyota dealers.

From the Desk of Beaverton's Car Guy

Before you hand over your hard-

accompany a used car purchase

On the preliminary list of "need-to-knows" are a used car's make, model, mileage and purpose. Choosing prospective makes and models of vehicles can be a tiring and frustrating process, but if you want a car that will last more than a month, there are some simple

steps you can take to ensure your purchase will be a wise one. 1. Look around you on the

highways and parking lots. If you see a certain vehicle in abundance on the roads, it usually means the car has a good track record and that's why it stays on the road longer.

2. Do your own research. Hundreds of publications list the reliability of vehicles. "Consumer Reports" tests the reliability of thousands of products every year, and automobiles are one of their specialties. Taking a look at their guide to the most

very enlightening. They also perform tests on important things that you would be unable to do for yourself. For example, it

would be almost impossible for you to know how many times a used vehicle could break down over the course of ownership.

3. Obviously, a used car comes with some baggage. Set a reasonable goal for yourself

regarding mileage and wear-and-tear on your prospective vehicle. Consider things like a factory warranty. A vehicle that is only a couple of years old and has, say, approximately 20k miles on it, is likely to

have a good bit of a factory warranty remaining. A good consideration for this vehicle may be purchasing an extended warranty or mechanical breakdown insurance policy.

4. Why do you need it? How many miles do you think you’ll be putting on the car? If it's reliability you need, your decision is easy. If you need a reliable vehicle that also has dual airbags, seven cup holders and a four-speed automatic, these details will further narrow down your search and make

the choice even easier. So take into account your needs when you research models so you know what is standard fare on the vehicle in question.

5. Unlike new cars, used cars can't be ordered to your preference.

In some ways, you have to "luck out" to get the ideal vehicle. But keeping your eyes and ears open helps. Start your used-car search, before your vehicle need is critical so you can keep your options open

6. Lastly, like the commercial says, always ask to see the CARFAX on any pre-owned vehicle you may be considering. This could prevent you from purchasing someone else's headache.

A: It is a federal law and we have heard of no pending attempts to change or modify it. The “cargo”, in this case, kids, would make the modification of such laws very unpopular.

A: Yes, it would normally not be a problem but you can’t always tell if an officer is engaged. He/she may be waiting for someone or observing some activity. We suggest the following: “Do you have a moment to answer a question?”

A: If the collision is to be investigated and the officer knows there is a witness, it is the officer’s responsibility to collect this information. If, prior to police arrival, a witness approaches you and claims to have seen the whole thing, it would be a good idea to note their name and a phone number and give it to police. When police arrive on scene they will generally attempt to determine fault which may include interviewing witnesses if they can be located and identified.

2 Programs Thanking our Military Service MembersIt shouldn’t come as a surprise

to anyone that we celebrate Thanksgiving during the same month that we honor our military veterans past and present for their

Memorial Day is a time of

homage to those men and women who serve around the world to protect our freedoms.

Thanksgiving, here and in Canada, is a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Most people use this time as a general expression of appreciation for all of our perceived blesssings.

Each day provides an excellent

on blessings and military service but also to remember the families of those serving our country, especially abroad.

The City of Beaverton and the police department recognize the military contribution in multiple ways:

The Military Mentor AcademyThe Military Mentor

Academy is offered to current or former military service members interested in a career in law enforcement. The police department offers a comprehensive three week program outlining the job responsibilities and processes involved with becoming a police

include hiring requirements,

enforcement. Resume preparation and networking opportunities are also discussed. Interested parties should access the cities web site for

further information and to sign up.

The Armed Forces Banner Program The Armed Forces Banner

Program was initiated by the City

James Cummo. The program is intended to recognize and honor Beavertons active-duty military personnel. The program began with seed money from the city and depends upon community donations and sponsorships which support the purchase and placement of banners in Beaverton along north and southbound Murray Blvd. from Southwest Allen to Scholls Ferry Rd. The banners will include the servicepersons name and military branch. Honorees must be active duty military personnel of the U.S. Armed Forces and be a current Beaverton resident. Applications are located on the cities web site.

Within in our own ranks over 25% of the sworn personnel were or are in the military and we are proud that they traded in their Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine or Coast Guard garb to become

For Adults

...is the theme for films presented on the Third Thurs. October 2013 through March 2014. On Nov. 14, we present a movie about a single mother/waitress, a misanthropic author and a gay artist

who form an unlikely friendship. On Dec. 19, our movie selection follows

the lives of eight very different couples dealing with their love lives a Month

before the Christmas holiday in London.

This program, led by experienced Oregon judge Steven A. Todd, and

Janay Hass, attorney and author of Using Small Claims Courts in Oregon,

and moderated by Washington County Law Librarian, Laura Orr, will explain

how to use Small Claims Courts.

For many, the holiday season is the most stressful time of the year:

social activities, an extra workload, or a longing for loved ones can all

contribute to holiday stress. In this one hour workshop, participants will learn how to use self-hypnosis to manage

holiday stress and create a more joyful season. Self-hypnosis is a safe, natural skill that anyone can develop. If you have ever had a daydream, then you have experienced self-hypnosis!

This workshop is led by Certified Hypnotherapist Reyveka Pieroni.

Husband-and-wife duo Nancy and Rob Downie, known to local audiences

as “Heartstrings”, will present a program of holiday music. Come and

enjoy songs of the season played on hammered dulcimer and string

bass, and on the hauntingly beautiful Nativeamerican flutes. After the

performance, visit with Nancy and Rob, see their intriguing instruments

up close, and get a 5-minute lesson on how they are played.

I know that I am not alone in my adoration of animated

movies. Ever since I was little, movies made by Disney, D r e a m w o r k s , and Pixar have always fascinated and entertained me with their beautiful art and magical plots. In fact, I have many fond memories of watching movie after movie in marathon sessions with my older brother which was sometimes even more entertaining than seeing them in theaters. But out of all of the talented creators of the scores of animated movies I’ve been privileged to see, Hayao Miyazaki will always be my favorite. As a writer, director and producer, Miyazaki not only entertained me as no other can but he also gave my imagination wings to soar to new heights and new places.

This past September however, with Miyazaki announcing his retirement, I would like to celebrate his work and to urge any of my fellow teens to do the same: watch

yet or rewatch the ones you have. Talk about them, share them or if you’re like me, say a prayer thanking the man who brought me along on so many wonderful journeys to places so unique and gorgeously drawn that somewhere in my imagination, I know they exist.

Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli are always extremely clever and uniquely creative. For example, Spirited Away is about a young girl forced to work for spirits in a bathhouse after her parents are

Academy Award, and it’s obvious why: it has a gorgeous combination of detailed illustrations, a masterpiece soundtrack, and exciting writing. My favorite

Moving Castle, which follows the adventures of a teenaged girl who is turned into an old women and then befriends a strange wizard. The combination of fantasy, steam-punk styled setting, and historical details make it so much fun to watch!

One aspect I really appreciate

that he uses female protagonists... and they aren’t all princesses! In a lot of Hollywood movies,

that every heroine has to be royal, which is a bit overused in my opinion. Miyazaki created girls

with strong qualities and bright minds, and they did not have

to be nobility. I think that

Thank you, Hayao Miyazaki,

Getting to know the Northwest Independent Writers Association (NIWA)The credibility of

self-publishing is on the rise, thanks to a few rock stars like Amanda Hocking, John Locke, and Colleen Hoover. But, what about the other quarter million self-published titles? Is a self-published book a quality book? That’s a question the Northwest Independent Writers

wants to answer with their Seal

NSQ establishes an independently published book as on par with traditional publishing. Bookstores want to support local authors. Rather than interacting with every writer who happens to walk in offering their books, they can liaise

locate authors for signings, and in the future, source books through our catalog,” says NIWA’s Tonya Macalino. “Our innovative Local Load program allows booksellers to offer local authors’ ebooks. We provide the point-of-sale material to facilitate purchase,” says Macalino.

Several events align with NIWA’s mission “to promote professionalism, to provide a community for independent writers, and to develop a market for our work.” The monthly Bard & Brews,

sponsored by Jacobsen’s Books & More and hosted by Primrose & Tumbleweeds, gives readers a chance to mingle with local authors and listen to book talks and readings. The Writers Making Readers program connects local authors with schools, in partnership with the Right Brain Initiative and the

Library Foundation of Hillsboro. At NIWA’s Independent Publishing Symposium this February, writers can attend workshops in writing, publishing, and marketing. “This is a great opportunity to network with other local writers, vendors, and

authors,” says Macalino. Early bird registration closes Dec. 1. Find out more at www.niwawriters.com.

Tales of a Beaverton Super-Mom: Now that's Embarrassing!

It appears that my current purpose in life is to embarrass my 6th

grader. Initially I could pinpoint my transgressions to some of my more outrageous behaviors, such as humming along to the music playing in the grocery store, waving at someone I THOUGHT I knew but actually DIDN’T, or having the audacity to ASK a question when I didn’t understand. Now, though, I’m getting a bit confused about what causes the humiliation: some days it’s because I’ve dressed too hipster and some days because I’m too dowdy; often it’s from making a joke

making a joke that is “TOO funny”

been times where I’m shunned because I turned to the right instead

of the left when someone calls my name. And the only reason I can tolerate all this nonsense is because I GET it. I get how life looks when you’re 11 and somewhere between

biggest social fear. But that doesn’t mean there are some days I wish my daughter would get that just yesterday I was rockin’ it in my acid-washed jeans and Bomber jacket—and that I, too, would have died had my mom attempted to sing along to Def Leppard in public.

Fortunately, I still don’t embarrass my 9 yr-old, who actually requests to hear about my uber-interesting life. Recently she was quizzing me on my marital history, and I was enjoying the little trot down memory lane—remembering the good, the bad, the things that happen when you’re together 20 years. I thought the

someone as wonderful as her father someday, but when I asked why she was contemplating this topic so much, she replied, “Oh, I’m not sure I’m

ever going to get married. I’m WAY too happy now.” Alrighty then. Some stellar modeling has obviously gone on here. Then she adds, “By the way, how do you STAND wearing that BRA???” Well, honey, the truth is it’s kind of like marriage. Sometimes it gets uncomfortable but you simply learn to deal with it.

Often it’s the 4 yr-old who keeps me grounded and reminds me that life will never get better than this: playing incessant imaginary games

or end or purpose to speak of…other than the entertainment I get from listening to her perspective on life as she talks through her dollies. We had the piano tuner here last week and Kiana was on her best behavior, so I was surprised when he remarked,

that one!! If your other two are like that, I don’t know how you survive!” I gave him my confused smile—something I’m becoming quite skilled at—and pondered what in the world he expected of a 4 yr-old. And then it

NO idea we were doing imaginary play in the family room, but instead assumed he was hearing a dialogue

about me, then, if I’m now craving pork? Would you call that passive-aggressive? Or am I oppositional-

splendid idea.”K: “And if you do a good job, I will let you pet my unicorn. You didn’t even KNOW I had a unicorn!”M: “I absolutely did not. Thank you for cleaning its cage. And now I’m going to get that coffee.”K: “You know why you need your coffee, mama??? Because you love us SO MUCH that it makes you TIRED!!”She seriously has a point. And
