Spring is in the air and that means change is too. The

city is busy working on a variety of projects—building a stronger, more vibrant Beaverton. As I’ve said many times before, the city is not turning its back on The Round. Be-ginning in June, you will notice some improve-ments in the South Plaza— a rch i t e c tu r a l and aesthetic. These exciting changes are all part of a larger goal to revitalize Beaverton’s Creek-side District. I look forward to the outcome as we continue to turn our plans into actions. After acquiring South Cooper Mountain nearly two years ago, we will work with resi-dents to create a Community Plan that will help meet Beaverton’s future housing demand.

As Oregon’s rainy season lin-gers, it’s hard not to think about summer. Summer is one of my favorite seasons not just because

of the sunny days, but because of the buzz around town. The city and our partners are hosting more than 10 summer events—from our Picnics in the Park, Flicks by the Fountain and First Fri-

days, to Recycling Day, our sustainability forums and

the Beaverton Interna-tional Celebration— there is bound to be an event for you. Beaverton’s events help create lasting memories for fami-lies and friends and instill in our

residents a stronger sense of community.

Take advantage of all that your city has to of-

fer by visiting www.Beaver-tonOregon.gov/Events.

I look forward to continuing to build our community as we strive to represent The Best of Oregon.

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 Beaverton 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.

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

With 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!

Community."

A legendary homerun hitter and a Super Bowl cham-pion traded in their cleats for bowling shoes at a

Beaverton charity event. Former All-Star baseball player Ken

Griffey Jr. and Pro Bowl running back Je-rome Bettis were among the athletes who took part in the Caddies 4 Cure inaugural Celebrity Bowling Challenge at Big Al’s in Beaverton.

Groups of four bowlers were paired with a celebrity to form 12 teams in the head-to-head challenge. Other well-known participants included Portland Trail Blazers center Meyers Leonard, for-mer Blazers star Jerome Kersey and one-time NFL quarterback and Portland State University record-setter Neil Lomax.

The Beaverton event on May 17 served as the kickoff for a weekend of fundrais-ing activities. The festivities also includ-ed the Celebrity Golf Classic and auction at the Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club in Aloha.

-zation and the proceeds from this year’s

including the National Multiple Sclero-sis Society, Oregon Chapter, and Randall Children’s Hospital at Legacy Emanuel.

“We’re always taking donations. We’re always taking volunteers. The need never stops,” said Kristi Peterson, vice presi-dent of operations and marketing for Caddies 4 Cure. “The event may be this weekend but the need to give goes on year-round.”

And for one night, local bowlers con-verged on Beaverton to support that cause and team up with star athletes.

Griffey’s sure-to-be Hall-of-Fame ca-reer started with the Seattle Mariners in 1989 and ended in Emerald City in 2010.

Known for his dazzling catches in the

the plate, Griffey admitted bowling is a whole different ballgame for him.

“I’m terrible,” he said. “But I’m having fun. I’ve got some guys who are trying to carry me, but they’re just as terrible. The main thing is to raise money and aware-ness for MS.”

Sports stars like Ken Griffey Jr. (top), the Seattle Mariners great, and Jerome Bettis (bottom), the ex-Pittsburgh Steelers running back, turned out to raise money for Caddies 4 Cure at Big Al’s in Beaverton.

C anines have already enjoyed a dip in THPRD’s Aloha pool in

2013. They’re about to get another tasty treat: two new off-leash dog parks. The sites will open later this year at opposite ends of the district: one at Paul & Verna Winkelman Park in Aloha, the other at PCC’s Rock Creek Campus. “We get requests all the time for new dog parks,” said Lisa Novak, THPRD superintendent of Programs and Special Activities. “For years, we’ve been trying to nd adequate space to accommodate those requests.”The new dog park at Winkelman Park (10139 SW 175th Ave.) is one of many new bene ts park patrons will enjoy when construction is completed in June, said Steve Gulgren,

superintendent of Planning & Development.Developed with funds from THPRD’s 2008 voter-approved bond measure, Winkelman Park also includes a multipurpose sports eld, perimeter pathway and expanded parking lot. It spans a total of 20 acres not far from Cooper Mountain Nature Park.The two-acre dog park is located on the hilly northeast corner of Winkelman. The site was optimal because the surrounding area is less developed than other neighborhoods.“The Catch-22 with dog parks,” Gulgren said. “is that everyone wants them, but nobody wants them by their house. When this neighborhood gets built, the park will already be there.”At PCC Rock Creek (17705 NW Springville Road), the new dog park

will be near the baseball eld and tennis courts. The 1.69-acre site is one the district has coveted for a while, Novak said. Construction is set to begin in June. The project includes grading and other earth work as well as the installation of benches, a water

fountain, a concrete entry and a chain link fence. The park will have separate seeded areas for small dogs and larger dogs, as well as a “winter” area with wood chips for year-round use. Trees will be planted to provide shade. “I think the park will be very popular,” Novak said. “There are a lot of homes with small yards, a lot of dog owners in the area, and plenty of parking will be available.”The winter area could open as soon as July and the seeded areas are expected to open in the fall.

THPRD’s only sanctioned off-leash area currently is at Hazeldale Park in Aloha. That will change with the opening of two new dog parks this year. Each site will have grass and an area with wood chips for year-round use.

HART Theatre is pleased to present Once Upon a Mat-

tress, the beloved musical comedy written by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Marshall Barer with music by Mary Rodgers and Lyr-ics by Marshall Barer. Based on the fairy tale, The Princess and the Pea, the princess must prove she is indeed a real princess by sleep-ing on a tower of mattresses under which is placed a single pea. She is so sensitive that she does not sleep a wink, proves herself and wins the prince.

In this funny, whimsical retell-ing of the story, our princess is the clumsy but lovable Fred (short for Winifred). Fred was the role that made Carol Burnett a star on Broadway and in 2004, Disney produced a new version of the mu-sical where Carol was the mean Queen, Fred’s nemesis.

2012/13 season, Peter Stein re-turns to direct. Alice Dalrymple is music director and vocal coach and Kate Jahnson is choreogra-pher. The large cast of talented ac-tors, singers and dancers includes Ky and Margie Fifer, a dynamic couple who also lead their church youth choir and sisters Margie and Liz Hodgson.

Once Upon a Mattress ends HART’s season with a bang. It’s perfect entertainment for the whole family. You’ll leave the theatre humming and wanting more.

Last Kick off the last Tuesday each month during the summer by attending our free outdoor celebration in the Public Plaza at The Round. Enjoy great music, art & food!

Sunday evening, June 23, 7pm

Shape shifting wolves, a gar-ment woven from moonlight,

and a secret revealed are some of the tales professional storyteller, Batya Podos, will be telling in her

show, STORIES UNDER A FULL MOON

Batya has been telling tales and teaching sto-rytelling for over thirty years, both here and abroad. She started as an actress but found that the intimacy

and immediacy of storytelling ap--

long interest in story, myth and legend—she knew all the Greek myths by heart before she was twelve. Living in the U.K., she

travelled extensively, collecting tales, teaching and performing. Returning to the U.S., she became a middle school drama teacher and retired in 2011 from teaching drama at Brown Mid-dle School in Hillsboro to continue her career as a storyteller and playwright.

The performance of STORIES UNDER A FULL MOON is one way she gives back to the commu-

-tre, Hillsboro’s oldest community theatre, will help the theatre con-tinue its commitment to local ac-tors, playwrights and directors. For nearly two decades, HART has provided quality theatre for the community, and Batya hopes it will

go strong for another twenty years. “Community theatre opens a door into the arts for people,” she says.

“It is inclusive and acces-sible, and encourages people not just to be audience, but to par-ticipate. That’s the magic of community theatre.”

Tickets: $20 (includes a glass of champagne or sparkling cider and chocolate) There is also a silent auction and a chance to win tickets to HART’s 19th season which begins next September.

Heavenly Beads

I started making jewelry to cre-ate a necklace for my friend's

birthday. We were in the wonder-ful bead shop in Long Beach, WA

beads there. A long string of bead purchases ensued. And now I have a whole room full of beads from all over the world! I look around at them and they speak to me when they are ready to be made into

-missioned piece was when I real-ized that there was healing energy in my work. The woman it was for was ill when it was given to her and began feeling better and better when she put the bracelet on. Her comment was, "These Beads are Heavenly!" I had already thought of the name, Heavenly Beads, and

-fuse healing energy and positive thoughts into each piece I make. My work can be found at Gifts and Decor Artist Consignment Store or on my website www.heaven-lybeadsforyourspirit.com which links to my Etsy shop.

You can contact me with any-thing you would like to have re-paired or made for you.

Art Exhibit: June 4-29 at Art on Broadway (12570 SW Broadway)

The harmony of Japanese de-sign is the subject and the

inspiration for Art On Broadway Gallery’s June exhibit featur-ing pottery by Jim Johnstone and paintings in acrylic or watercolor by Donna Sanson. The public is invited to celebrate the art and art-ists at the show’s opening recep-tion on Saturday, June 8, 2013 from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Com-plimentary wine and refreshments will be served. The exhibit dates

are June 4 through June 29, 2013Johnstone, one of the gallery’s

newest members, describes his ceramic work as, “Characterized

-venture.” He continues, “My love of traditional imagery and vessel forms doesn't stop me from ex-perimenting, either with materials or techniques. And, while I have studied the graphic arts and ce-ramics of Japan, my pieces refer-ence those traditions without imi-tating them. I am equally at home

porcelain and the gravelly texture of local clays known as River Dog and The Hair of the Dog. My goal is to create pieces that draw the

viewer to not only view, but also want to touch.”

“A visit to the Portland Japa-nese Gardens in mid-February was an inspirational experience,” says Donna Sanson. “ It was a quiet day with few visitors and I felt like the gardens were there just for me to discover and enjoy. I was struck by the tranquil beauty before me; and as much as I found pleasure in the entire landscape beyond the entry gate, it was the simplicity and attention to detail in the quiet spaces that spoke to me, that asked to be recorded and imbedded in my memory. Rocks and pebbles, woven tree branches

-ing water, slab stairways, mounds

of moss; I immediately knew this planned harmony of rock, water, and plants would became the basis for a new series of paintings."

Art Demonstration: June 16, 1-3pm at Art On Broadway Gallery

Art On Broadway Gallery’s free monthly artist demon-

stration is by Donna Sanson who will share her process of painting with watercolors.

Sanson will demonstrate her techniques for creating luminous watercolor paintings using the principals of good design and the layering of light washes to build up color.

Art On Broadway’s monthly Sunday demonstrations are free and open to the public and offer insight to the artist’s creative pro-cess.

If you are a Golden Grad and want to be a part of Beaverton's living history, contact the Beaverton History Center: [email protected] or chairman Bob Koeber: [email protected]

We celebrate our graduation from Beaverton High School over 50 years ago or more. We're striking up the High School Band, bringing on the Rhythm B's and the BHS Jazz Ensemble as we welcome Beaverton's living history back to the high school cafeteria for lunch on June 19.

What's a Golden Grad?

Beaverton High School started in 1902. In the summer of

1950 35 members of the class of

evening potluck supper. This was -

one had so much fun that Ruth Lundgren Pasley and a group of volunteers organized another one two years later. In 1952 the class members decided that they should meet every year at the school for an "indoor potluck picnic". The high school welcomed them as a very special group. Other classes began to organize class reunions and join the class of 1930's lunch.

By 1980 the class of 1930 had reached its 50th anniversary and someone suggested they call them-selves the Golden Grads. The name caught on and Ruth and her group again organized the annual lunch adding a new representative from each class every year. When the class of 1935 had turned 'golden', it was then decided to include any-one in the golden year classes from then on and the format remains to this day. Most classes celebrate their 50th like the class of '63 this year meets in August. They are in-vited to lunch with an informal and fun induction ceremony.

Past teachers, administrators and Beaverton dignitaries have al-ways been invited. Speeches and ceremonies are brief as the class-

mates are eager to share stories and jokes and remi-nisce about the good and the bad. This year's spe-cial guest is the oldest graduate of the group (Class of 1926)! The air is charged with smiles and warm greetings, hugs

and handshakes. Tradition calls for class members

to tell jokes about each other. They were often repeated from year to year bringing gales of laughter. Many were stories of tricks they played on each other or on a faculty member. The Golden Grads remember Bea-verton in a time when humor and fun was all of a simple vein and it was such a wonderful time to be a teenag-er. There was only Beaverton High School and Hillsboro High School and the nearest city high school was Lincoln. 50 years ago the population of Beaverton was about 3500. It was surrounded by farmland and patches of trees and swamps. There was the all important cannery, the Beaver Horseradish company and the airport plus train tracks in all directions. Farming was the principal industry. Then came the housing tracts in the 50's. As one of our class members jokes "They stopped farming wheat and started farming people!"

What do Grads remember most about downtown Beaverton?

The pharmacy's soda fountain. It was the social center of town and the chocolate ice cream sodas were legendary. We bought our saddle shoes, our letterman sweaters, our full skirts and cinch belts in shops in Beaverton. Our parents bought furniture, jewelry, groceries and farm gear on Broadway. We ran homecoming parades through town, we got ads for the Hummer (school paper) and the Beavertale (phonebook) from local small busi-

nesses in town. We hung out at the Tasty Freeze, Dairyland or The DQ. We had lots of hops (casual dances) and formal dances at the high school.

The school was the center of action for the town and whole sur-rounding area. It was once three sto-

in the big earthquake of 1948. How many stories have been written and how many slinkies have traveled down those stairs to nowhere! The graduates of the 30's and 40's can re-member the Noon Movies... movies shown during the hour lunch period! Graduates of early years were the main labour source for the surround-

even had a big drive-in in the 40's and 50's where Fred Meyer is now. The

-member the year we shared the build-ing with Sunset High School, going to school in the morning only while Sunset invaded our campus in the af-

While Ruth and her group had a very informal organization, by 1989, with so many classmates involved, the group set up a formal organi-zation to run the event. Today the classes of the 50's and 60's are the custodians of the Golden Grads with almost 3000 on the data base.

Ruth Lundgren Pasley, from Beth-any. Class of 1930 and founder of the Golden Grads She was the first female from Beaverton to graduate from a four year school of higher learning, earning a de-gree in Secretarial Science from Oregon Agricultural College (OSU) in 1936. She remained a solid supporter of the group until her passing in June 2012 two months short of her 100th birthday.

Did you know that silent mov-ies were made right here in

Beaverton in the 1920's? Premium Pictures Entertainment produced several Hollywood style movies and we will be showing a selec-tion of these silent movie comedy classics from 1914-1927. Each is

about 15-20 minutes in length. Doors open at 11am. Show times are 11:30, 12:30, and 1:30.

This event is free but donations to the Beaverton Historical Society are welcome and appreciated.

Come Join in the Fun!

Beaverton's longest daylight stretch during the summer is almost 16 hours. (5:21 am - 9:02)

Premium Pictures Studio, locat-ed on Erickson Ave, was a very successful silent movie studio in the 1920’s producing over 30 films (see ad this page).

Washington Square Mall was origi-nally supposed to be located on the corner of Hall Blvd and Cedar Hills Blvd.

Belle and Ralph Jenkins began work on their estate in 1912.

The railroad came to Beaverton in 1871.

refreshments, art demonstrations, dancing and family-friendly at-mosphere until 8 p.m. each night.

New this year, each First Friday will include a host business. This business will kick off the evening’s events and provide visitors with a

and a brief description of what the businesses will have to offer. Bea-verton Masonic Lodge, located at 4690 SW Watson St, will host the monthly reception on June 7th with a complimen-tary barbecue, local artwork, and tours of the building be-tween 5 and 8 p.m. After vis-iting the lodge, head across the

street to Beaverton Florist to enjoy some tribal belly dancing presented by Mandala between 6-7pm.

Mandala is a professional, im-provisational tribal style belly dance troupe from the Portland area. They perform complex combinations with the occasional choreography at parties, restaurants, street fairs, theatre pubs and Portland festivals. They are joined by Marissa Mission,

the Portland area. Their mission is to -

dent, healthy young wom-en through belly dance, yoga, expres-sive art, sis-terhood, and empowering

life skills.The First Fri-

Participating businesses include restaurants, salons, a dance studio, a healing center, coffee shops, a costume store, a bakery, and many specialty shops. The BDA and First Friday events are partially sponsored by a grant through the City of Beaverton’s Main Street Program.

The First Friday events create that center of activity in the core areas of Beaverton, drawing guests and developing value for more than 40 businesses who are involved in the event.

Continued on Next Page

Vendor GuidePeople often ask me about farmers’ market etiquette as well as tips for having a successful experience. Of course every market is a little different, but here at Beaverton I recommend the following:

Wear comfortable walking shoes! The market is big and you might have to park a few blocks away. The exercise that you get during your market experience is an added health benefit of shopping with us. Don’t forget sunscreen!

If you want to bring your dog to the market you will need to take them to HomePlate’s Sit-N-Stay doggy daycare directly adjacent to the market in City Park. We do not allow dogs on leashes into the market itself. We expect 20,000 on Saturday and dogs on leashes are a tripping hazard in our busy aisles. There is a $5 per 1/2 hour fee. Please do not leave your dog in your car. It can quickly turn into an oven and be hazardous for your dog.

At the BFM we feature fresh locally produced foods. Expect to shop seasonally. You will be

disappointed if you come on opening day wanting to buy corn or watermelons (someone always asks). They won’t be available until July. And, no, we do not have anyone that sells bananas or lemons.

Bring a small cooler for heat sensitive purchases. It is going to be warm on Saturday - dairy, cheese, tender greens, meat, etc. will benefit from being kept in a nice cool place, especially if you have another stop to make before heading home.

Loading zones – we have three staffed loading zones around the market where you can leave your purchases throughout the day. Our staff will watch them while you shop. When you are finished just drive your car right up to the loading zone and we will help you load your purchases into your car.

Don’t forget to bring your re-usable shopping bags. BFM bags are available for purchase at the market information booth.

Not all of our vendors are set up to take credit and debit cards. If you want to use your electronic

money you can buy $5 tokens at the market information booth. They are treated just like cash in the market.

All of our vendors participate in food assistance programs – WIC and Senior Farm Direct Nutrition Programs and the WIC Fruit and Veggie voucher program. $1 SNAP tokens may be purchased with Oregon Trail cards at the information booth.

Squeezing delicate produce bruises it and often renders it unsalable. Peeling corn also makes it unappetizing for the customer that follows you. These are the ears that most of the farmers tell me that they eat at home because they can’t sell them. Please be respectful of the effort the grower has put into bringing you a high quality product.

Have a question about a product – ASK! Get to know your producer and their product. They are proud of what they do and are happy to talk to you about it. If you don’t recognize something – ASK! The people working our booths live on what they sell. They can tell

you how use or prepare these products. Be adventurous. Try something new.

Samples are just that, samples, not a meal. Sampling is expensive for vendors. Please do not abuse the privilege of being able to taste foods in the market.

See you at the Market,

June 8 - The Cedar Hills-Sunset Lions Club will be collecting your used eyeglasses (and hearing aids) on Saturday, June 8 at the commu-nity service booth. The eyeglasses are sent to an optician training pro-gram at a local correctional facil-ity.

Give your old eyeglasses a second life and help someone in need.

in my gastrono-my adventures led me to the new, “Izakaya-style” Shoten Japanese Dining. Shoten is located on 6165 SW Ri-gatta Ln in Beaverton across from the Fred Meyer off 158th. They are open from Mon-Sat from 11:30-3:00 (lunch) and 5:00-10:00 (din-ner).

I sat down with the co-owner, Gina Moon, who also runs the Crazy Sushi in Sherwood, to get an idea of what separates Shoten from other local Japanese restaurants. She explained that she wants Shoten to be a relaxed, tapas-style eatery that is conscious to the wallet while providing

Head Chef, Song Park, a 25-year veteran, presented me with my three plates:

Dish 3: GyudonGyudon, which liter-

ally translates to ‘beef bowl’ is

a combination of culinary and ar-tistic craftsmanship. This dish does not need to be ‘prettied’ up. An uncomplicated dish of thinly sliced beef, edamame and grilled onions served with traditional white rice. It is tender and slightly sweet. Per-fectly grilled, translucent onions give a caramelized addition to this dish. Simple and delicious. A won-derful completion in my journey at Shoten.

The Final WordAside from these wonderful

offerings, Shoten also provides an Omakase Course Dinner, a 7-course offering. The term, Omakase, means “I’ll leave it up to you”. In other words, you allow the chef to prepare a high-end experience for you. Chef Park or Ki Moon, Execu-tive chef and also co-owner of Sho-ten will not disappoint.

Message from the ABA

I know we celebrate Dads this month but we also celebrate

graduations for our high school and college kids.

My oldest son Tyler, for exam-ple, will be graduating from Port-land State University with a Bach-elor's in Business Management. and looks to be employed when he graduates. Wow, can that be a wonderful sign that our economy is turning around? A college grad-uate with a job and in their selected

and look ahead at all the wonderful things he will experience with an-ticipation and joy. Tyler is a prod-uct of the Beaverton Public School System.

He went to Hazeldale, Cooper Mountain, Mt. View and Aloha High School. He played basketball

-perience over all.

He did not have class sizes of 50 kids. He had paid coaches for

his sports. He had opportunity to play a musical instrument in mid-dle school. He had a counselor and many teachers that he respected and learned from during his 11 years in BSD.

I have so happy that the Bea-verton School bond levy passed. because if it did not, future stu-dents in the Beaverton School system would have had a very dif-ferent experience from Tyler. I am glad that parents do not have to pay more for sports, music, textbooks but rather focus on helping their kids prepare for college and the work force.

Congratulations Graduates (and Dads too)!

OPAL InstituteAre “Golden Years” really

golden? At the OPAL In-stitute, providers promote the philosophy that every person deserves opportunities to live a rewarding, happy life at any age. Through an emphasis on health and wellness, OPAL Institute staff strive to optimize the aging process. They specialize in pre-vention, diagnosis, treatment, and support for people navigating the aging process.

“Neuronal plasticity is a fancy way of saying that the brain can continue to grow and develop at any age,” notes Dr. Amy Schultz, clinical geropsychologist with the OPAL Institute. She explains that very intelligent and capable people can get stuck when con-fronted with life challenges, and that collaborating with a psy-chologist can open new ideas for change.

The OPAL Institute offers psychotherapy that targets eve-ryday problems, chronic pain and other health issues, adjustment to life transitions, or dealing with a diagnosis of dementia. A new medication monitoring program

helps patients and prescribing doctors closely communicate and make changes to medications that target emotional functioning. Staff specialize in diagnosis and guidance for people who may be experiencing memory problems or other issues with healthy brain function-ing. A thor-ough evalua-tion can help people realize that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and there are strat-egies to work around particular issues.

are your current age. You can’t be expected to know how to age successfully, because you’ve

never done it before! Dr. Mar-sha Green quickly assesses how she can help with the intersection of aging, medical, and mental health concerns. Dr. Green has

developed a chronic pain evaluation and con-

sultation program at OPAL Insti-tute to assist older adults who have chronic pain.

Figuring out how to thrive

with aging or medical changes is key to achieving an excellent quality of life. OPAL Institute staff are available to discuss op-portunities for making positive change in your aging process.

Remember to check your speed and enjoy the ride!

Crucial Information You Should Prepare

This topic applies to everyone, regardless of age, but it be-

comes more important as you age and your chances of being in an emergency situation rise. At any moment, any of us could experi-ence an incapacitating emergency that would leave us hospitalized and unable to care for ourselves or others. While most of us are comfortable managing day-to-day affairs while capable, it’s hard to imagine what would happen if we couldn’t take care of our own af-fairs or those family members we usually care for.

So take a little time and think it through. What information about you would an emergency room physician need? What information does your family need to help you manage your daily affairs when you can’t do it for yourself? What

do others need to know in case your situation becomes serious and long-term and someone needs to help for a prolonged period, or per-haps even start making decisions for you?

Here’s a starter list, but it’s just a start. Begin here and expand on this list to make sure all of your

and made available – in a secure manner – to those who need to

it yourself. Be especially careful

– make sure you trust the people who you tell about your informa-tion and its location.

For emergency personnel:Picture ID – driver’s license or state-issued non-driver IDMedical insurance card(s)Names of primary care physician

and other doctors you seePrescriptions and allergies listEmergency contacts list – Family, caretaker, guardian, decision-maker

For your trusted helpers:Email accessMailbox accessBank account informationList of credit cards and regular bills that need paying

For serious situations:Advance directive and/or Power of attorney

Can you think of more? You should try – what informa-

tion and documents do you have that should be available to some-one you trust who can take care of important matters for you if you are incapable yourself? Consult an expert such as an elder law attor-ney for more detailed advice. Give your loved ones peace of mind by insuring that they can help you when you need it most.

From Cartooning to Water Color and Theater

Although a native to New Orleans, Louisiana, Ralph

& his wife Arnette, moved to Oregon in 2005 after surviving hurricane Katrina.

Ralph majored in theater in

both as professionally and as an amature for most of his seventy years.

Alhtough he has been car-tooning since he was about ten, his serious side dabbles in wa-ter color with works hanging in many galleries in Gold Beach Oregon.

As new residents to Beaver-ton, he and his wife are quickly becoming more involved in the community.

Ralph is currently involved in a project to create a community pride series of cartoons for the Beaverton Resource Guide.

Most of us teens avoid yard work like a plague. Dirt is,

simply put, dirty, and the star of the yard show. However, I believe starting a garden is a project worth the labor. Gardening may be ex-tremely rewarding and an addict-ing experience too. So if you can get past the dirt, only good things can happen (trust me). When I was young, I adored my Granny

-gies. My favorite part was the abil-ity to sample the foods right off the veins (a bit like Mother Nature’s spin on Costco). Gardening is also one of those fabulous hobbies that do not require classes or training: everyone can garden, and everyone should. But how can we even get started? Here, let me assist you!

When and Where to garden

Each seed and bulb needs a cer-tain time to be planted. So, check on the packages or speak to a specialist to determine what season to begin. If you want to start now, just choose plants that are in season, and you’re on your way! Depending on the plant, the choice of location for your future garden kingdom has to vary. Shade, sun, and spacing are important to pay attention to, and each plant requires something different. For example, my mom and I just planted astil-bes in our backyard.

because they require shade to grow, and our yard doesn’t get much sun.

Some of us don’t have a convenient or appropriate area to grow a garden. Luckily, community gardens have sprung up all over Beaverton, such as:

Community Center Gardens- Fifth Street and Hall Boulevard Kennedy Gardens- 103rd Avenue and Kennedy StreetWelch-Centennial Gardens- 10th Street and Erickson StreetThese spaces do require appli-

cations, so be sure to keep an eye out for openings!

How to make it Fun Starting a garden is like adding

an amazing tattoo on the earth – it’s becomes your personalize mark that hurts less and with each season you can change the design! My biggest recommendation is to personalize your experience. Perhaps you can

color, for example. Or, plant foods you would want to eat and share with your family. Dur-ing planting and general care of your garden, you may want to listen to music and try to ‘race’ a song to be motivated to

(my personal favorite for when I need to get down to serious garden-ing business is Fleet

Foxes, give ‘em a try). With great music in the background, you can de-stress and focus on nature which

-ing on homework for example. So needless to say, I have full faith that once your plants begins to sprout, you’ll see light as I have.

Growing a garden should be your goal this summer, teens! It’s a great challenge with beautiful and delicious results.

CARE & FEEDING OF YOUR

Temperatures may soon be heading north of TOO HOT! That means

we’ll all be running our air condition-ers 24/7 in an attempt to stay cool and that means we better check to make sure they can handle the load. So, what can we do as homeowners and Do-It-Your-

clean, make sure the outside fan unit is free from shrubs and weeds, and make sure the condensate is actually draining to the out-side. That’s about all we can do for ourselves.

Let’s quickly review how an air conditioner works, so you’ll understand why those three things are so important. The A/C system is a closed loop, made up of tubing that circulates refrigerant, along with a compressor and a couple of fans.

Outside your house is a metal housing with a fan, a compressor and a coil of tub-ing with refrigerant in it. The tubing is a continuous loop that comes from and returns to another coil attached to the furnace inside your house or maybe it’s in the attic or basement or garage. The whole system is really a heat exchanger. By manipulat-ing the pressure of the refrigerant in the tubing, the manufacturer causes the coils in the furnace unit to be very cold, some-where in the 30 degree range.

So, here’s what happens when you

turn the A/C on and set your thermostat below the existing room temperature. The outside fan comes on, the compres-sor begins to operate, and the furnace blower comes on, circulating air in your home. As this circulating air passes across the cooling coils, heat energy is exchanged, leaving cooler air to return to the house. The refrigerant, now warmed

by the heat exchange, continues to the outside coils where the outside fan helps to cool it down and the process contin-ues until the air in the house reaches the desired temperature and the system shuts

off. A typical system is designed to re-duce the ambient temperature by about 20 degrees, so on a 95 degree day, your system should be able to keep your home at about 75 degrees.

Air conditioners perform another function that increases our comfort; they remove most of the humidity from the air. Think about what happens on the

outside of a glass of iced tea in the summer; moisture forms and drips onto the table. That’s

water vapor in the air condensing into a liq-uid and that’s exactly

what happens in an air conditioner. The moist air, leaving your home and pass-ing across the chilled coils in the furnace, condenses and drips into a drip pan. The collected water then drains through a pipe to the outside or, if your furnace is below ground

-densate pump that pumps it to the out-side.

Now, let’s tie it all together. If the

cool air into the house that you expect. Also, restricted air can result in the cool-ing coils freezing up, which is really hard on the equipment.

If shrubs and weeds are allowed to block the outside fan unit, it can’t draw in enough air to properly exchange the heat from the system.

it’s staying somewhere in your home – in the attic, in the basement, in the crawl space, or in the garage – and you don’t want water in any of those places.

So, be sure to add these three things to your honey-do list:

1. Check the furnace filter and change it if necessary.

2. Check to make sure the outside unit is free of weeds and shrubs.

3. Check to make sure the condensate is draining outside your home.

Beaverton has successfully host-ed three of four sustainability

forums to learn and discuss how residents can make positive envi-ronmental, economic, and social changes in our community. The forums set out to engage in a sus-tainability discussion about global, national, regional, and local issues.

These forums lay the ground-work for the creation of a com-munity action plan this fall and are helping to engage residents to serve on the citizen-driven Sustainability Action Team.

-cal panel, representing businesses, residents, schools, faith based or-ganizations, schools and youth to discuss what sustainability means

to our city and how you can get in-volved – Join us on June 3 at the Beaverton City Library from 6:30 - 8 pm.

Polling of the forum partici-pants showed that over 43% of the attendees were concerned about the future and the sustainability chal-lenges ahead of us.

As part of creating a more sustainable city, Mayor Doyle launched and promoted the city’s “iPledge” – a way for par-ticipants to make a personal com-mitment to sustainability actions. The pledge outlines simple actions that people can do to protect the planet, better their community, and make Beaverton more vibrant and sustainable.

A: Yes, it’s okay for two motorcycles to share the same lane but no more than two (ORS 814.250).

A: Unless the traffic control device authorizes otherwise (ie. green arrow), you must come to a complete stop (cease movement) before safely making your right hand turn.

A: Stopping cars can be one of the most routine and dan-gerous activities an officer can do. For that reason, the lo-cation of the stop is anticipated by the officer with his and your safety in mind. Sometimes a driver will continue on in an attempt to choose a safer spot but this only nega-tively impacts the process, requiring the officer to engage in more radio exchanges with dispatch. So pull over as soon as possible and let the officer change the stop loca-tion if he/she desires.

A: Your assumption is correct and it doesn’t matter if you are turning right or left onto a multi-lane roadway you must turn into the lane nearest the direction you are pro-ceeding. If you desire to change lanes then rules of dis-tance and signaling apply.

What do the coming months mean to the average resident?

School is out

More kids out and about in parks, on neighborhood

streets, near swim centers and frequenting playgrounds. For the last nine months we’ve grown ac-customed to them being in school most weekdays from about 8A-230P. Motorists need to make mental adjustments for safety rea-sons.

Parents whose children have reached the age and level of ma-turity to be left home alone during the summer need to make sure that safety practices are discussed and emergency numbers noted in a conspicuous place.

The Family Vacation

For security reasons limit the number of people who know

of your departure. Ask a trusted neighbor to mow and water the lawn as well as pick up mail, pack-ages and newspapers. A neighbor parking their car in the vacation-ers’ driveway on occasion gives the appearance of activity. Lights on timers when and where appro-priate, drapes left open or closed per habit. Anything that gives the impression of people coming and going reduces the chance of being targeted. If teenagers are left home alone while parents are on an ex-tended leave, trusted adult neigh-bors can be the eyes and ears.

While out of town don’t leave valuables in the room. Use in room

-

credit cards and hold onto receipts. Rely on hotel staff to advise you on safe times to explore local at-tractions and what areas to avoid. Remember that rights and privileg-

es afforded you in the USA don’t translate across foreign borders.

If you live in the city of Bea-verton you have the option of po-lice doing a vacation house check while you are gone. Go to beaver-tonpolice.org check on forms and locate the vacation house check entry. Fill out the form and send it back to us in plenty of time.

Barbecues & Such

Alcohol consumption and its occasional negative effects

generally increase at two times during the year, the Holiday season and summer time. Planning in ad-vance can sometimes ward off the most serious end results. Instead of trying to decide how much you can drink and still safely/legally drive, plan on having a designated driver, use public transportation or call a cab. If you are hosting a gathering have lots of food, offer non-alco-holic beverages and cut off anyone who appears inebriated.

National Night Out

The 30th Annual National Night Out, a “celebration of com-

munity”, has been scheduled for Tuesday August 6, 2013 between 6pm-8pm at Beaverton City Park, adjacent to the library.

Beaverton’s event will include a Police K-9 demonstration, and a carnival like atmosphere which will feature free food, music, and much more. Radio Disney will be on hand, through a partnership with Beaverton Toyota, to offer great activities and music.

Tales of a Beaverton Super-MomMy Mother’s Day Flag Flew at Half-Mast

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about this job I took 11 years

ago, and it’s occurring to me how little room for mistake we parents allow ourselves—especially when considering the hours and dedi-cation required in this position. But in many parents’ hearts, this lit-tle thing called guilt that can seep over wherever perfection is lacking, and the errors can hit hard. This became clear to me, ironically, over Mother’s Day weekend, when despite my fam-ily’s sincere and grand efforts to make me feel as admired as a Greek Goddess, my shortcom-ings were revealed…multiple times.

1. It started with a simple mis-take during that crazy Saturday morning schedule—the one where you want to hire a chauffeur for your kids’ activities so you can remember what it was like back when “weekend” was synonymous with “relaxation.” Not only did I read the wrong game time for my eldest, but I was IN CHARGE OF BRINGING THE FRUIT. (If you have never been in charge of half-time snacks, this probably means nothing to you.) Now in the scheme of things, I realize this is a minor tragedy compared to termi-nal illness or world wars. But the guilt I had over throwing her into a sopping wet uniform straight out of the washer, while maniacally chopping oranges and screaming at the troops to “HURRY! HUR-RY!” may have been a little over the top. I rushed to her game where she jumped in and played just

on our way home. And I still felt bad. As we left the parking lot, my daughter asked me why the high

the worldly mom I am who rarely makes time to read the news, I said, “I have no idea. Probably because your mom had the wrong game time in her head.” “Probably,” said

my pre-teen. “But it’s over and you need to let it go.” Oh goodness. I really do.

2. Fast forward to dinner that evening, where the sun is shin-ing and everyone is getting along nicely, and my 8 yr-old says to my youngest, “Hey, Kiana! Aren’t you so excited for summer?? Nothin’ but FREE TIME!” Kiana looks back and forth between us with wide eyes and asks incredulously, “Why? Am I getting a new fam-ily?” No, no, honey. Same family. Less busy.

3. At my request, my husband rented “Parental Guidance” to watch with my folks on Mother’s Day. Had I known that this movie would highlight every neuroses I had as a new mom—and maybe even a few I still carry today—I probably wouldn’t have chosen to watch it as a special treat. There’s nothing more humbling than see-ing your own glaringly evident cra-ziness acted out on the big screen, and even self-deprecating laughter can’t save you from those scenes

that make you cringe because you actually remember SAYING those things and thinking you knew something about this whole parent-ing gig, now that you were all of 12 months into it. Sheesh.

4. By Sunday night, the fam-ily was done celebrating me, and I was done smiling and saying “Thank you!” My 4 yr-old wan-dered into my bedroom where I was sneaking in the last few de-liciously quiet moments of read-ing time, when I tousled her head and asked, “So…how was YOUR Mother’s Day?” “Not good,” she said frankly. “No one got me a present.” Small pause. “But you know what I’m getting for Moth-er’s Day next year??” “What?” I asked curiously. “ A new mama!!” she squealed joyfully, then fell into

breathlessly. “Becauth that would mean you have to get a new Ki-ana, and then you would be THO THAD.”

She’s absolutely right. I’ll take my guilty, imperfect, neurotic-and-frazzled kind of life any day over

without them.

Anna Brentwood launched her debut novel The Songbird

with Sapphire Eyes at an oppor-tune time. The novel takes place in the roaring 1920’s, as does the highly publi-cized Baz Luhrmann

Gatsby. Capitaliz-ing on the coinci-dence, Brentwood piggy-backed on the movie premiere with an author ap-pearance, book deal, and costume party at Cinetopia Progress Ridge

This is just one of the many promo-tional ideas Brentwood has come up with since releasing her book last Septem-ber. “For Val-entine’s Day I ran the e-book version for free and had over 1,700 down-loads,” says B r e n t w o o d . Using Ama-zon’s free pro-motion days can help build an author’s platform, in-crease online book reviews, and spread the word about a lesser-known work. The Song-bird with Sapphire Eyes enjoys good reviews on Amazon, cur-rently averaging 4.6 out of 5 stars. This is good news for Brentwood, who plans to work on the sequel

this summer, although that means slowing down on the promotional work. “Fortunately there is much more cooperation amongst authors

in recent years in promoting their work,” says Brent-

wood. “Plus small independent book-stores are willing to help local authors.” Jacobsen’s Books & More sponsored Brentwood at a re-

cent Bards & Brews event. If you enjoy

hearing local authors read and share their works

while enjoying food and Oregon beer and wine, check out these events hosted by Primrose & Tumbleweeds on the last Friday of the month.
