Hello Beaverton,

Can you believe it’s February already and it still

only takes one hand to count the number of

snow days we’ve had? Now, I don’t know what

this means in terms of what the rest of the win-

ter will look like and that’s why I’d rather focus

on something else… like really cool art! Isn’t the

cover of this issue amazing? This is the work of

Laurel Barbieri, a local artist who gets inspira-

tion from ancient cave art to create what I think

are very striking images. I was so fascinated in

fact by her unique style that I felt compelled to

share her with you .

Of course, I am fully aware that Laurel is not the

only wonderful artist in our community so if you

would like to share an artist with me - or a use-

ful senior resource , a downtown busi-

ness , a local non-profit , a

performing arts event or a Beaverton

hero – please share them with me.

We now have a facebook page

so please do a ‘like’ on our paper

and share your thoughts with me

because that’s what a community paper is all

about: sharing .

Saline is many things to many people. Its immense popularity can be attributed to the fact that saline is “natural”. In a time when eco-friendly and green are trend-ing buzz words used to describe any number of products lining consumer shelves, saline truly is a natural when it comes to health and beauty. Saline, both on its own and when infused into vari-ous products, has been shown to:

One such product that takes advantage of the wonders of saline is from local company Little Busy Bodies, Inc. Its Boogie Wipes, Boogie Blasters and Saline Sooth-ers line of products harnesses the power of saline to comfort sore, red and otherwise miserable noses.

limited access to materials and fabrics, so used them sparingly and more than once. When gar-ments were worn beyond repair, they were saved for quilts, rag rugs, or perhaps curtains. The stockings, shirts, dresses, and mit-tens they mended had been homemade by hand.

They used a special tool called a darn-ing egg to repair stockings.

Shaped like an egg, it was made of wood, porcelain, or other hard material. It held the toe or heel in place and proper shape and pro-

Many rural women continued to sew by hand, however. In the 1860s, the average cost for a sew-ing machine was about $100.00, about ¼ of a typical household’s annual income. Town residents often pooled their money and bought a single machine for com-munity use. Another laborsaving device, the electric sewing ma-chine for home use, became avail-able in 1889. Earlier versions were used for industrial purposes in garment factories.

Paper patterns for the home sewer appeared about this same time. Women in any area of the country could order from a pat-tern catalog and make fashionable clothing and accessories like those

Spencer Hardy isn’t your average 15-year-old. By his sophomore year at Westview High School, Spencer had endured two extensive surgeries to remove cancerous tumors, radiation and nearly three years of chemotherapy after being given just six months to live. While many teens worry about school dances and what’s for hot lunch, Spencer focuses on the bigger picture and faces every day with optimistic determination.

In February 2008, following a persistent backache, multiple X-rays and an MRI, Spencer was diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma. As an aggressive treatment plan unfolded, the Hardy family focused on time together and lifting Spencer’s spirits. It was during this difficult time that Hardys discovered the healing power of the Children’s Cancer Association’s (CCA) innovative programs.

For the last 16 years, the Portland-based organization has improved the lives of critically ill children, teens and family members by prescribing joy during a family’s journey through pediatric illness. The team at CCA made it their

goal to help keep Spencer’s head in the game by throwing a little friendship, music and fun into a frightening world of doctors and painful treatments. CCA matched Spencer with a Chemo Pal mentor, delivered music medicine to his hospital room through the Music Rx program and invited the family to make precious memories together at the Caring Cabin in Pacific City, Oregon.

“CCA has helped provide moments of joy and respite amid a long, challeng-ing journey with cancer. Not only has Spencer had a blast participating in CCA’s programs, but everyone in our family has been touched in some way by this organization,” said Lynnette Hardy, Spencer’s mom.

In May 2009, doctors discovered a golf-ball sized tumor on the base of Spencer’s skull, three along his spine and multiple tumors throughout his brain. The Hardys were advised that additional surgery would not save Spencer’s life, but would buy the family more time together.

Defying all odds, Spencer responded positively to the various treatments

prescribed by his physicians, and he once again received a cancer-free report.

In May 2011, after an MRI that uncovered three new tumors, CCA’s LifeSupport Family Enrichment program sent Spencer and the family to Disneyworld in Florida for an unforget-table adventure.

Today, Spencer is undergoing an experimental chemotherapy regimen, and hoping for another miracle.

“Spencer has never let his diagnosis define him,” said Lynnette. “Hedecided he wanted to live and is a true testament to the saying that attitude is everything.”

Since his grave diagnosis in February 2008, Spencer’s zest for life has been a source of inspiration for many. He takes part in school plays, sings in the men’s choir, vacationed to the Caribbean and performed on stage at The Bing Lounge with local musician David Hall through CCA’s Portland Lyric Project.

Spencer Hardy is just one of the many kids and teens who have bravely shared their story during CCA’s largest annual community event, the Valentine’s Day for CCA. On February 13 and 14, community members are invited to tune into 105.1 The Buzz and Fox 12 to hear dozens of inspirational stories like Spencer’s, get involved, and be inspired.

A will to live

Because of his bravery and incredible attitude, Spencer Hardy was selected a Community Hero by CCA in 2010. Photo by Joni Kabana

The Wedding Cottage & Emily Andrews Portrait Design Swap Locations

Two local businesses in Bea-

photography businesses needed more space while the wedding boutique was ready for a change. In a world where local business is becoming less common, these two businesses that have their roots deep in Beaverton have come to-gether to help one another achieve their goals and solidify their place in the downtown area.

dream of owning a small business and is proud to own a store that has history and a positive reputa-tion. While business is going well, “I saw the chance to have a new updated look with a fresh space.”

The 900 square foot house

was the birth place of Emily An-drews Portrait Design. In 2002 Emily began her company by liv-ing and working in the 100 year old house. The studio was cozy and inviting but with business on the rise, she was in need of more space. Today, Emily balances

Laurel’s childhood could best be described as a

Laurel didn’t know it at

many years later Laurel seam-lessly translates that passion

with heavy textures, brilliant colors, movement and emo-tion. Laurel’s paintings allow our imagination to reach back in time, when life on earth was

primitive and unforgiving, when hunting and gathering were the imposing challenges of the day.

THPRD: connecting people, parks and natureEmployees write many segments of new nature guide

ext time you’re browsing at your neighborhood bookstore, you may

encounter a book authored, in part, by THPRD employees. “Wild in the City: Exploring the Intertwine,” is a reference guide for anyone seeking a road map to the countless natural wonders that exist within the Portland area. Among the 100+ authors who contributed to this must-have reference guide are Bruce Barbarasch, Scott Hinderman, Sarah Skelly, Kyle Spinks, Julie Reilly, Melissa Marcum and Greg Creager, all of THPRD’s Natural Resources Department. Former employee Jo Linden also contributed to the guide. “The book is for anyone curious about nature,” said Barbarasch, superintendent of Natural Resources and Trails Management for the Park District. He wrote essays on Jordan Park/Jackie Husen Park and the Westside Regional Trail.“You can get just about anywhere in this

book in a half-hour,” he said.

“Wild in the City” was initially published in 2000. This second edition, from Oregon State University Press, was released last October. It updates the original with new essays, maps and information, including detail about areas – Cooper Mountain Nature Park, for example – that didn’t exist a decade ago.

“It is so updated, it’s basically a new book,” said Barbarasch, estimating that 75 percent of the book’s content is new.

It doesn’t read like a travel guide, he said, because it features several distinct and very different voices, including those of renowned Northwest writers Ursula Le Guin, Kim Stafford, Robert Michael Pyle and Bill Monroe.

Finding his voice was the biggest challenge for Barbarasch.

“It was harder than I thought,” he said. “You want to say ‘This is a verdant, beautiful place with a babbling creek in the background’, then you remember there are 100 people writing essays and they’re all going to want to say that.”

For Skelly, the biggest challenge was determining how to best use the limited

space she was given to extol the virtues of the Tualatin Hills Nature Park.

“What do you choose to draw people into a park this big (222 acres) and this diverse?” she said. “The hardest part was narrowing down what I wanted to write about.”
