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 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.

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!

Message from the MayorA time to be thankful

With the holidays approaching and the leaves changing col-

ors, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia. For me, the holidays are a time for family celebration as well as a time to be thankful. Beaverton is lucky to have residents who care so much about maintaining our quality of life. I’m truly blessed to serve as your Mayor.

I appreciate that residents have an active voice in our government. Your feedback helps the city better serve our community’s needs. In a recent survey by DHM Research, three out of four residents said they believe Beaverton is heading in the right direction, and 95 percent would recommend their neighbor-hood to people looking to relocate.

I appreciate the support we

receive from our partners. Recently, Metro authorized two grants that will help fund workforce and mar-ket rate housing projects. These two grants, totaling $650,000, will help us reach our goal of bringing more affordable housing to our downtown.

I’m also proud of the ways our community takes care of its own. The 2013-14 Leadership Beaverton class built a pet sanctuary for the Domestic Violence Resource Center’s shelter, Monika’s House, which allows victims to bring their dogs and cats with them. The Virginia Garcia Center, a clinic that provides services for individuals with barriers to receiving health-care, is opening at Beaverton High School to help students get the proper health care they need.

The city also has a community giving campaign, a series of fund-raising events for city employees to give back through direct giving, competitions, and fun activities. We are fortunate that these programs are in place. It takes a collective effort to keep Beaverton running smoothly, and I’m very grateful for your continued support. I wish you the happiest of holidays and look forward to another year keeping Beaverton The Best of Oregon.

Community Souvenirs Come to Beaverton Looking for local gifts this holiday season? We’ve got them right here!

Local is good. It’s an Oregon thing and here in Beaverton,

we love local too. We visit local stores, listen to local music, hike and play at local parks and support the many wonderful events our city puts on to promote community pride.

So recently, when family visited from out of town, you can image

local souvenirs. I looked high and low from local gift shops to Target and New Seasons. Nothing.

Sure there were souvenirs but they were all promoting Portland or Oregon and that’s not us. It’s not local enough for a proud Beaverton resident like myself.

And that’s why I decided to do something about it! Beaverton, the Best DAM City in Oregon

I thought about the rebranding our city did recently and really like it but while it’s good for the city, it’s not really something that would go on a souvenir. But it got me thinking and using the new brand for inspiration, I came up with a slogan that sums up how I and my neighbors feel about the city we call home: BEAVERTON, THE BEST DAM CITY IN OREGON!

The Beavers of BeavertonThis paper is fortunate to have

a talented cartoonist in Ralph Scheeler. His cartoons grace the

insides of this paper and help pro-mote the city in a fun, playful way that reaches out to both kids and adults.

The Beavers of Beaverton are a family of beavers who live, play and work in the city. They have a retro 50’s look and personality to them but don’t let their appearance fool you, they are quite up to date on current city issues and will go to great lengths to promote the city.

These adorable characters will appear monthly on these pages but you can take them home in the form of car stickers, coloring books, cards, bookmarks and more!

Beaverton Souvenirs for SaleThe Beaverton Resource

Guide‘s purpose is to promote the positive aspects of our wonderful city but we don’t have a storefront and we are not quite set up to sell products. So if you’d like to see or purchase these souvenirs, please visit these great local partners:

Moontalla Gift Shop carries all the gifts we’ve made (503-746-7786). They are located in the parking lot across the street from Beaverton Bakery.Beaverton Pharmacy has many items and they are around the corner from Beaverton Bakery (503-644-2101).Beaverton Florists carries Mugs, Eco Friendly Pens and historic Beaverton postcards (503-644-0129)

If you have questions or would like to sell these gifts at your business or for your group’s fundraiser, call the paper at 503-641-3320. A portion of the proceeds goes to support the Beaverton Historical Society and the Beaverton Library Foundation.

See page 25 for a complete list of available gifts.

Hey, I bought this tree for christmas dinner so go light on the

decorations please!

The Portland Trail Blazers Teamed Up Off the Court in BeavertonWith members of the military, the Blazers give back to the community.

The players, coaches and team executives volunteered at the

Oregon Food Bank in Beaverton to sort and package food for local families in need.

“It hurts my heart to know that people go long times, long periods without meals and some people go to sleep without meals,” said guard

Damian Lillard. “So anytime we can be a part of giving back and doing them a favor, you know it’s a

big deal to us.”It was all part of the NBA’s

Commitment to Service initiative, which pairs players with volun-teers from the military around the country for community service events.

“Events like this one are always so much fun,” said Blazers center Robin Lopez. “Just to know some-

even better.”Oregon Food Bank volunteers

donated 162,000 hours during the

the organization, an amount that is equivalent to 85 full-time staff members.

Most of that time was spent sorting and packing food, the same activities that the Trail Blazers and military personnel did during November’s event.

Along with the players, Blazers general manager Neil Olshey, pres-ident and CEO Chris McGowan and head coach Terry Stotts also

pitched in. “When you see all these people

come together and work side-by-side, and in just a short time the amount of work to get food out to people, it’s really a great experi-ence,” Stotts said.

Last year, the Oregon Food Bank distributed 43.5 million pounds of food to hunger-relief agencies.

For information about how to donate to the Oregon Food Bank, go to www.oregonfoodbank.org.

Zoo News is Good News Zoo set to illuminate holidays at annual zoolights

A holiday tradition is back. More than 1.5 million brightly col-

ored lights illuminate the Oregon Zoo during its annual ZooLights, presented by Regence BlueCross BlueShield of Oregon and the Oregon College Savings Plan. This year’s display, which runs through Jan. 4, features the much-antici-pated return of the zoo train on an all-new route through the zoo.

The zoo’s trains were

temporarily taken out of service in 2013, as crews began laying track for a new route designed to provide unique views of animals — and improved looks at ZooLights. To make up for the loss, last year’s ZooLights set about creating a more immersive experience, with a continuous loop around the zoo featuring a spectacular 100-foot-long, rainbow tunnel of light.

This year’s ZooLights aims to encompass the best of both worlds: an all-new train ride on an elevated trestle through areas that haven’t been lighted before, as well as an immersive stroll around the zoo similar to last year’s. Visitors should also be on the lookout for

that have been placed around the zoo — part of a scavenger hunt that

can win sharp-eyed visitors a prize at the Zoo Store.

In keeping with the zoo’s com-mitment to sustainability, more than a million of this year’s lights

2000, the zoo has been upgrading its holiday display with an eye to the future — gradually switching from conventional incandescent lights to LEDs, which use a fraction

of the energy and last much longer.ZooLights hours are 5-8

p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 5-8:30 p.m. Friday through Saturday. ZooLights will be closed Dec. 10, 24 and 25. Admission is $10 for adults, $8.50 for seniors, $7 for children and free for chil-dren 2 and under. Zoo members may attend for free.

Sustainable BeavertonCity of beaverton receives epa green power leadership award

The City of Beaverton received a 2014 Green Power

Leadership Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The annual award recognizes the country’s leading green power purchasers for their

commitment and contribution to helping advance the development of the nation’s voluntary green

power market. “It’s such an honor to receive

this prestigious award,” said Mayor Denny Doyle. “Purchasing green power sends a message to others that we support clean sources of electric-ity and are doing our part to reduce our carbon footprint.”

Beaverton was one of nine orga-nizations nationwide to receive a Leadership Award for its green power purchases. Currently, Beaverton is purchasing more than 10 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough green power to meet 100 percent of the

city’s electricity use. The city is buy-ing a utility green power product from Portland General Electric and also generating electricity from on-site solar energy systems.

Green power is electricity that is generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, eligible biomass, and low-impact hydro. Using green power accelerates the development of new renewable energy capacity nationwide and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector. To learn more about purchasing green power for

your home or business visit www.greenpoweroregon.com .

For more information about the city’s sustainability efforts, visit www.BeavertonOregon.gov/Green.

Beaverton Loves Its TreesDon’t top yours!

The city of Beaverton’s Urban Forestry section within the

Public works department is respon-sible for the care and management of the city’s trees. As part of their responsibility they ask that citizens do not top trees. Tree topping is a harmful method of reducing the size of a tree by arbitrarily remov-ing a majority of tree branches. Topped trees are not only unsightly but they weaken the tree against

diseases, insect infestation and weather related problems. Topping street trees within the public right-of-way or on city of Beaverton property is a code violation (5.05.102) unless it interferes with overhead or utility wires.

When a tree’s leaves are all removed it sends the tree into sort of a survival mode and it grows many shoots to make up for the missing limbs. Trees need their leaves to produce food in the form of carbohydrates which is why it sends out these fast growing limbs (epicormic growth), which are not

as strong as a normal limb. These quick growing limbs become

and weak at their connection point and may fail as they increase in size. The topping of a tree also invites many insects and diseases to infect a tree through the open cuts made. This will weaken the tree even more and may even cause it to die in the future.

If canopy reduction is a war-ranted, a crown reduction can be

would be the best option, they will

know exactly what maintenance a tree would need to stay healthy for years to come.

Food for ThoughtTips for a happy healthy holiday

The holidays are here and that means treats like specialty

coffees appear. Family, friends and coworkers will all want to show off their culinary skills with home made sweets and seasonal cocktails!

You can enjoy these tasty treats of the season and remain healthy at the same time this holiday with these few simple tips:

Drink at least one 8oz. glass of water before you head out to an event and eat something light like nuts or a piece of fruit. This is enough to curb your apatite so you don’t over

indulge.When you have that specialty coffee or a cocktail, drink equal ounces of water prefer-ably with or right after your beverage consumption. This will keep you hydrated, keep your immune system strong and may help you avoid a hangover.Think sample size. Cut every-thing in half or even in quarters and “taste test” the food.Decide, before you go out to a restaurant, to take home a portion of your meal so you won’t feel obligated to clean your plate.Ask the hostess for a small sampling of the sweet treats. Chances are she doesn’t want ALL that sugar in her house

anyway.Focus on your friends, not the food!

Remember, “Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels”

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.

3 Dishes Neighborhood Restaurant ReviewBroadway Saloon

Keeping the tradition alive of having an established saloon

on Beaverton’s Broadway, the Broadway Saloon has been around since 1993; the building itself is almost 100 years old! Going back to 1900, when Gus Rossi, tired of failures in farming, opened up his 1900 Saloon, much to the delight of local patrons. The Broadway Saloon continues this tradition into the 21st century. Manager Kim Carpenter wants her customers to know that this is a place to knock back a refreshing pint, enjoy a sat-isfying meal, and chum it up with some great Beaverton folk.

Kitchen Manager Matt Farag assured me that I would enjoy the three offerings for this month 3 Dishes Review. Was he right?

��Broadway Wings, Nitro-style/$8.50

Hmmm…why are they called ‘Nitro’? I know, because they are blazing hot, but in good way. Your mouth will burn but you will still

the sauce is top secret; I couldn’t get the cook to divulge the tasty details (a little birdy did tell me that habanero and serrano chilies, as well as a splash of Frank’s Red Hot do contribute to the sauce). What’s not a secret is the perfectly cooked wings, full of meat and heat and served with a side of the best bleu cheese dressing in town - in my humble opinion - courtesy of Bleu Diamond. Locally operated and produced out of Hillsboro (bleu-diamonddressing.com), this dress-ing is a favorite at the Beaverton Farmers Market and now I know why. Quintessential bar fare at its

a tasty stout and moved on to my next meal…

��Half-ton Cheeseburger/$7.95

A traditional 1/3 lb. cheese-

and given a choice of fries or tots. The burger was juicy, the veggies fresh and the bun nice and soft. A solid burger, I must say. The sim-plicity of a well-made burger just makes me happy. With the fries/tots, you get a side of their home-made fry sauce, a concoction of yet another secret sauce, with a kick of horseradish. This sauce certainly was made for dipping and that is exactly what I did!

��NY Steak/$15.75

The steaks come from Ponderosa Meat Market (pondero-sameats.com), another Beaverton establishment, focusing on high quality cuts of meats (and other

of starch, sautéed veggies, garlic bread and a choice of soup or salad (they’re not reinventing the wheel here but they are making sure that wheel is spinnin’). The steak was beautifully primed, had nice sear marks and came medium rare. You can buy quality meat but you still need to cook it right! On this day, I had sautéed string beans with crumbled bacon, prepared al-dente. This was a nice way to end my 3 Dish run…or was it?

BONUS!! I was treated to a delectable serving of no-bake cheesecake, drizzled with a fresh

strawberry compote. It was light, creamy and not a single bite was left on the plate

In my last two ‘3Dishes’ visits, I have had the opportunity to visit two decidingly different bars, located next to one another. What is not different between these two eateries is the focus on providing a great atmosphere and giving their patrons more than the typical, bland bar food people have come to expect from other institutions. My compliments to the hard-working crew at Broadway Saloon!

These were my 3 dishes, which ones will you try?

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

Q: When I checked my engine oil I noticed that it was 2 quarts low. I realized that I had not had my oil changed in 10,000 miles but my car is only one year old. Is this normal?

A: For starters 10,000 is a lot of miles on engine oil ( unless it is full synthetic) When the viscosity of the oil begins to breakdown, somewhere around 5,000 miles it is also becoming fuel diluted as well. Once the fuel dilution process is introduced, the oil is thinned out from the introduction of fuel, this causes the oil to burn a bit with the

normal usage of the vehicle. So the more miles driven with dirty engine oil, the more engine oil is used by the engine.

Q: My vehicles battery has green corrosion growing on the terminal, should I be concerned?

A: This is corrosion from bat-tery acid, it is toxic, and should be cleaned and serviced by a profes-sional, who knows how to properly service it. The battery cable ends need to be removed and the battery posts and cable ends will need to be cleaned and stripped of corrosion. If enough corrosion builds up, it will reduce the voltage from the battery to the vehicle and will eventually reduce the voltage enough to prevent the vehicle from starting.

Q: Reader emails in and states that, they have a 5 year old car with

125,000 miles on it, they commute from Beaverton to Salem for their work. Their question is why are they getting a sulfur smell while driving at slower speeds (but not noticeable at freeway speeds)?

A: The sulfur smell comes from the fuel that is available here in Oregon. Oregon is a state that does not regulate the fuel quality, so we receive the poorest grade of fuel in the Nation. In my opinion it is best to burn the 89 octane or higher fuel even in the vehicles that call for 87 octane regular fuel.Q: I see these do-it-yourself scratch remover pens or kits for $10 or less sometimes. What is your opinion on these and do some work better than others?

A: The best way to touch up a scratch on a vehicle’s paint is to get bottle of the actual touch-up

paint form a Dealer. This paint is -

ish of the exterior of the vehicle.

brush from an art store to apply the paint (the brush inside the bottle is often so large that is will actu-ally apply more paint than what is necessary to hide the scratch). The

only hide the scratch temporar-ily, such as putting a nice coat of wax on a vehicle. Which brings another though to mind. A vehicle with a good coat of car wax on it is far less likely to scratch than a vehicle without wax. The reason for this is that wax, being so slick, actually allows the object that would otherwise scratch to glide along the exterior surface of the vehicle without touching the paint underneath.

Business SpotlightOne Man’s Around the World Journey to Build Integrated Healthcare in Beaverton

Vijay Shankar, co-founder of LifeQual Center in Beaverton,

is a perfect example of both the American Dream and that it’s never too late to start over.

The ManBorn in Tamilnadu, India, Vijay

decided at age 23 to leave his home and move to Europe upon the completion of his Marketing MBA. Nine months of hitchhik-ing later, he arrived in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and set out to pursue a career in business. Vijay moved

to France next to earn a second MBA in Finance, and went on to hold the positions of Vice President at Chase Manhattan Bank and Director at Avon. He lived in India, Germany, France, England, and New York – where he met his wife and LifeQual co-founder, Anne –

After a life spent in the business sector, Vijay returned to academia and earned his doctorate in 1996 at age 49. He became a licensed psychologist the following year, specializing in treating anxiety and mood disorders in both adolescents and adults. “I often hear people talk about being stuck in a career they have very little interest in because it’s ‘too late to change’, and I tell them, ‘look I became a psycholo-gist when I was 50; its never too late to change’.”

The CenterVijay and Anne searched all

of Portland for a building to meet their needs, with plenty of parking, easy access to major thoroughfares, and enough space to accommodate a wide variety of health services. They envisioned a truly integrated health center, one that could bring together as many disciplines as possible under one roof.

In 2012, they debuted their freshly remodeled LifeQual Center in Beaverton. LifeQual currently

boasts a psychologist, a licensed clinical social worker, an acupunc-turist specializing in reproductive health, an audiologist, a colon hydro-therapist, and a Life Coach.

The DifferenceLifeQual Center’s spacious

facility is distinguished from other health centers by the number of amenities it offers to practitioners. With a meditation room, sauna, gym, auditorium, conference room,

-port, a full-time receptionist, and a beautiful lobby, LifeQual strives to accommodate the comfort and needs of clients and the health care providers working to improve their quality of life.

LifeQual continues to seek out new practitioners to expand the variety and quality of their services. Rooms in the 145-220 square foot range are currently available for lease.

For more information, contact [email protected] or call 503-531-9355 and ask for Renee, and visit LifeQual online at LifeQualCenter.com

Q: Every day I see people park their car on the wrong side of the street. My

friends says that it’s OK to do that. Is it?

A: (No) Oregon Revised Statute 811.570, “A person commits the offense of improperly positioning a parallel parked vehicle if the person stops or parks a vehicle on any street where parallel parking is permitted and the vehicle is not parked in accordance with the following: Upon a two-way street, the vehicle shall be positioned so that the right-hand wheels are parallel to and within 12 inches of the right curb”.

Q: The place where you attach the license plate in the rear of my car is broken. Can I just tape the

plate to the rear window?

A: As long as the plates are in plain view so as to be read easily by the public, then the plates can be attached anywhere on the rear of the vehicle (ORS 803.540).

Q: Is it illegal to “peel out”?

Yes. According to ORS 815.025 (Causing unreasonable noise with a vehicle), a person commits the offense if they operate a motor vehicle so as to cause any greater noise or sound than is reasonably necessary for the proper operation of the vehicle.

Q: I don’t understand Jaywalking? Of course I can cross my neighborhood street anywhere but at

what size of street do I have to use a crosswalk or get a ticket?

The rule is that if you are within 150 feet of a marked crosswalk then you must use that crosswalk (ORS 6.02.510). Otherwise, you may cross the street but it must be at a right angle (ORS 6.02.520).

Washington County Sheriff’s Office NewsInmate Work Crews Support Local Veteran

Inmate work crews from the Washington County Jail have

quite a reputation. They work hard on projects that

matter to the community free of charge. The jobs vary by sea-son and some are uncommon. Recently, several hardworking inmates joined forces with Homes for Our Troops to make life easier for a local veteran.

U.S. Marine Sergeant Josh

Sweeney lost both legs in combat in Afghanistan in 2009. This month, Homes for Our Troops is building a home for his fam-ily. Many community volunteers,

employees, have worked on the project. It was natural for our Inmate Work Coordinator, Deputy Jerry Shamoon, to offer inmate help. They performed site main-tenance and dug ditches, impress-ing the project manager with their work ethic and dedication.

Deputy Shamoon wanted to take the project a step further by volunteering to build a fence as well. So

he went looking for donations for materials at Rick's

Custom Fencing in Hillsboro. To his surprise, Rick's not only donated chain link fence materials (over $11,000), but also offered employees to install it, free of charge.

Sergeant Sweeney and his wife were caught off guard by this huge donation and are truly grateful for

the community's outpouring of support. While a large expense, the fence was needed to keep their two dogs out of the nearby road-way. This is just one case where our community comes together to make big things happen. We are so proud our inmate work crews could also contribute.

Musings of a Beaverton TeenThe best gift of all: a best friend

The wind blew through my hair, blasting my Hillsboro Hops

cap off of my head. It took me a

my hat as the wind carried it up and down the pavement outside

a stop under the tire of my mother’s pearl-white escalade.

As I bent down to pick my hat up, the stray pitch-black kitten that had been visiting us for about a month or so peeks out from under the daunting suv. He looked up at me like a tiny bear cub peeking out the edge of a cave before his mother found out. However, this little cub did not have a mother from what I could tell. He was shivering in the cold, only made

worse by the devastating wind that would probably drag him off down the road if he peered out any farther. He looked up at me with his almost oversized, dark-hazel colored eyes. As if he were beg-ging me for something, anything, seemingly.

His fur on his sides was coarse from the accumulated dirt and grime. Yet the fur covering his stomach was soft to the touch,

lined my black windbreaker. I found it odd that he did not try to

scratch or bite me at all during the rescue. Instead, he clung tightly to my coat, digging his claws in deep.

I felt his claws pierce the fab-ric of my jacket, hooking into my shoulder. His eyes were closed as he shook, and I could feel blood starting to leak out form my shoul-der where his claws were. I was able to hold his entire body in one hand while I used the other to open the door to my house.

When we got up the stairs to my room, his claws were still digging into my skin. It only took a slight tug on the fur behind his head, like what mother cats do to calm their kittens, to relax his paws and for me to lay him on my bed.

He was still shaking and I could practically hear his bones rattling. Then I took the small red and black plaid quilt from the end of my bed and wrapped him up like a new-born baby, and rocked him back and forth until he felt warm enough

to stop shivering. A large can of tuna and a few

sips of water later, he was already up and exploring his new home. He sniffed everything, from the youth baseball and football trophies on my wall and the rain-soaked wheels of my skateboard, to the small bloody stains on the white “Youth Portland Beavers Baseball Club” t-shirt.

The scars from his claws still remain on my shoulder to this day, a year later. The orphan, black cat’s desperate cling for life is physi-cally a part of me now. His name is Ninja and although he is about 8 pounds larger, he still enjoys cuddling up to the same spot on my shoulder where the scars of his claws reside.

I believe that he remembers the hope I was lucky enough to give him by bringing him inside that cold, windy day. In truth, I do not mind the 4 little white lines

on my shoulder. They remind me that I was there for this weak, sick, lonely kitten and that I quite liter-ally shouldered his burdens.

I gave him shelter, paid for all his vet visits and food. That holi-day season, I gave him a home and in return, I got the best gift of all: a best friend.

Busy Beavers at Beaverton HighIntroducing senior Jon Luc Hefferman

On the stage where many famous artists from Stevie

Wonder to Norah Jones have performed stood one Beaverton High School student this summer. Stationed behind his keyboard,

senior Jon Luc Hefferman played as a member of the band “Mike Rath and the Grapes” at The Bitter End, the oldest rock and roll club in New York City. It was an experi-ence he isn’t likely to ever forget.

The opportunity to play there arose out of the blue when he got a call from an old friend, Mike Rath, the band’s namesake. Hefferman met Rath through the School of Rock, an after school music pro-gram he participates in. Rath is a member of the program’s touring group (School of Rock Allstar), and had become friends with Hefferman on one of their tours. So when he invited Hefferman to play with his group, Hefferman was ecstatic, “I was really excited to see my friends again, but I was also just really excited to be in New York City and be able to play somewhere that iconic.”

As the headliners of the night, the group played a tribute to Michael Jackson, all ten songs from his Off the Wall album. An aspiring artist himself, it was the opportu-nity of a lifetime. Said Hefferman, “It’s a really iconic place that a lot of people have played at, like Bob Dylan, and even people who are stars today, like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga. There’s a lot of people who have gotten their start there.”

While he was playing, “I

honestly just thought about how much fun I was having and how crazy it was that I was in New York City playing a show with a bunch of people who are some of my favorite people in the world.”

For Hefferman, who not only plays the piano, but also the drums, bass, and guitar, and to top it all off, sings as well, music is much

something I hope to pursue,” said Hefferman, “I know that it’s

always going to be just a huge part of my life.

Helpful Tips to Survive and Thrive!Holiday Stress?

The holidays are often a time of great enjoyment and connec-

tion with those we love and care for. We may have special personal rituals or religious activities that are deeply meaningful. For many of us, the holidays are also the time when we come face-to-face with old beliefs, unmet desires, and dys-functional family dynamics.

Sometimes we feel caught up in a river that seems beyond our control, swept downstream into the holiday vortex of too much: too many demands on our time; too many obligations; spending more than we really want or are able to;

too much food and drink; too much family “drama.”

One of the ways to break this cycle for ourselves is to stop and assess what it is we really want: what will truly nourish and replen-ish our spirits; what our body is telling us; and what is actually within our means in terms of time, money, and capability.

If we can create a little space for ourselves, to listen to what our hearts are telling us, we can then be clear, and set our intentions accordingly. Try to spend some time each day, checking in, giving yourself the gift of a few moments of mindfulness, of meditation, of simply being.

Here are some things you can

Beaverton Historical Society PresentsChristmas through the decades

This month we’re looking at Christmas traditions, everyday

news, and other December happen-ings in the Beaverton area over the last several decades.

Washington Independent, Hillsboro, January 1877“The Christmas tree at Beaverton is a tree that never happened Saturday night the I.O.G.T. had a tiptop time, an oyster supper and initiated three candidates. Guests tripped the light fantastic at William Tucker’s party at Butte grange hall.” That year the population of unincorporated Beaverton was about 100. The International Organization of Good Templars is a fraternal society, established in 1851 in New York, which advocates total abstinence

from alcohol.

Hillsboro Argus, December 1894“Mr. Krimble’s little boy, while playing upstairs recently had a very narrow escape. He threw an old match in a lighted stove which had not been used for some time and unfortunately for the boy, someone had left gunpowder therein which exploded and badly burned the little fellow’s face and eyes. Dr. Robinson was called to attend his injuries and he will soon be out again. “ Francis M. Robinson

arriving in the late 1880s.

December 1905 News StoryThe Beaverton city council was

asked in December 1905 to grant another saloon license. The

one—Gus Rossi’s--was good, two would be better. There was no town tree that year; councilors left it to the churches to celebrate. In other news, someone had poisoned four dogs and residents petitioned to appoint a new postmaster.

Hillsboro Independent Dec. 1906“Christmas on the rural route was spent the same as on other days wading through mud holes and bumping over worn out rock roads and corduroy. The patrons nearly all remembered the carrier with some tokens of friendship.

One kind lady brought out a complete Christmas dinner packed in a pasteboard box and tied with ribbons. It is the tokens such as these that gladdens the heart of the rural carrier and gives him courage to once more brave the storms and mud and rough rock and broken rails and gives the patrons the very best service they are capable of.”

“What shall we have for dinner?”was on the minds of most housewives in 1922. Ethnicity, religious customs, and income determined what people ate; tradition decreed familiar fare. Locally, it seemed turkey, gravy,

and mincemeat pie were preferred. Good Housekeeping’s Book of Menus, Recipes, and Household Discoveries suggested a far more extravagant meal: Oyster soup, fruit cocktail, roast suckling pig, diced turnips in hollandaise, browned potatoes, scalloped tomatoes,

cranberry applesauce, olives and pickles, celery hearts and endive salad, cakes, nuts, raisins, chicken Cadillac, raisin bread, caramel custard, coffee, and tea. Or, perhaps, locals headed to the big city to enjoy Portland’s Hazelwood on Washington Street or the Hazelwood Broadway. Their table d’hote turkey dinner (a complete meal with limited or preselected choices) on Christmas day was $ 1.25 or a Christmas plate dinner could be ordered for 90¢. More people than ever were eating out in the 1920s, the birth of the modern restaurant industry, decline

home” menus. As the year came to a close, businesses thanked their customers, wished them prosperity and happiness, and launched inventory clearance sales.

Remembering the Day We Landed on the MoonI was there, and so was the Omega Speedmaster.

Before we landed a rover on a comet, we landed men on the

moon. Here is a wonderful story from our local Beaverton family jeweler Bill Bevill about his view of that historic event.

In the summer of 1969, I was a young sailor aboard CVS 12, the aircraft carrier Hornet, steaming

with Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin Jr, the Astronauts of Apollo 11. Our mission was the recovery of the spacecraft and crew back from the surface of the moon. A heli-copter and Navy divers picked the

trio up and brought them back to the Hornet where they were wel-comed by President Nixon, NASA

Millions watched the television broadcast at home, while I took pictures of the famous astronauts with my little Kodak.

In the spring of 2014 I had the opportunity to meet two of the original Astronauts once again. It was at an Omega Watch seminar. That day they shared many of their personal experiences from the Apollo missions and quite frequently the coveted Omega

Speedmaster watch was a topic of discussion.

A little known fact is that Neil Armstrong did not have his Speedmaster on his wrist during that historic event. The timing function in the Lunar Landing craft had failed, so he left his watch in the landing craft to time the event.

Timing was critical. While the Lunar Landing craft was searching

-able landing site, time was running out. With 60 seconds left before fuel for both landing and take off for their return to earth was depleted, he started the chronograph func-tion on his Omega Speedmaster. With 30 seconds remaining the craft was still not down. With only 17 seconds left before the landing would be ordered aborted, the now famous “Houston, the Eagle has landed” was heard round the world.

This was a truly amazing endeavor requiring a special kind of man. One shot, no backup, no recovery ship, it was all or nothing.

They had left a message on the moon, ”Here men from the planet

1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.” At 12:56am on July 22 the Command Module began its journey home. Splash down in the

July 24th. I was there, and so was the Omega Speedmaster.

#GivingTuesday at Beaverton Education FoundationYour invitation to give back to our students

Beaverton Education Foundation is thankful for so

much and is grateful to the com-munity it supports. For twenty-six years, BEF’s teacher-designed grant programs innovate and inspire students.

As we kick off the giving sea-son, BEF is joining the national #Giving Tuesday movement inspir-ing personal philanthropy and encourages both giving and giv-ing back. On Tuesday, December 2, 2014, charities, businesses,

students, community centers and families around the world to come together for one common purpose: to embrace generosity and to give.

BEF’s #GivingTuesday is a continued invitation to giving back to our students. An opportunity to help raise funds for hands-on innovative academic enrichment and advanced programs and proj-ects that go beyond normal school funding at all 51 Beaverton public

schools. By giving to BEF, grants are made possible to fund class-room, summer and after-school programs not mandated or funded by the state, but ones our parents and dedicated educators consider necessary for a quality education.

at Cedar Mill Elementary. Connor spent this past summer attending the BEF – funded Camp Achieve. Connor spent

two, three week sessions improving his math and read-ing skills along with 276 other students from Cedar Mill, Ridgewood, Raleigh Park, and McKay Elementary Schools.In a note to BEF, Conner wrote, “The teachers at Camp Achieve helped me understand school, it was different at my old school. Now, I don’t feel like I am behind all the time.” Hard work over the summer helped Conner catch up to his peers and put him back on track for success. So far, the year is off to a great start.There are thousands of other

students here in Beaverton like Conner and our work in supporting them is far from complete. Each

year the Foundation funds a wide range of grants all designed to give kids the opportunity to shine and propel them to future success.

Join us in being a part of this tradition of generosity and oppor-tunity for our students. With your help, BEF will continue to provide students the grounds for success that make them better citizens and leaders of today, as well as, tomorrow.

That’s how many instructional tness classes are offered each

week at the Elsie Stuhr Center, says Ann Satter eld, program coordinator.“There are four classes, plus the weight room, going from 7:30 am to as late as 8 pm,” Satter eld said. “We’re packed all day, every day.”Satter eld said that Silver Sneakers classes, offered at the center as a Medicare bene t, helped put the facility over the century mark for the rst time in the Stuhr Center’s 39-year history.

Silver Sneakers complements a healthy offering of classes that includes Zumba, yoga, tai chi, Pilates and a total body workout class that includes balance, cardio, strength and exibility training. Most are offered at four different levels of intensity to accommodate varying levels of mobility among guests.“Our instructors do an amazing job of changing up and marketing their classes,” Satter eld said, singling out Kimberly Janes, Desiree Harrington, Jacqueline Sinke and Fabiola Lopez for the consistent popularity of their classes. “They all have older adult tness training; they know how to teach to aging issues,” Satter eld said. “They make sure test scores are going up and their participants are getting what they need.”Starting Jan. 1, THPRD will offer a new Deluxe Pass, available in

options of one, three, six or 12 months. Among other bene ts, the pass will allow unlimited admission to any tness class the district for a set price. Patrons will no longer need to register for individual group tness, yoga or aquatic tness classes.The park district will also introduce on Jan. 1 a Daily Use

Pass, which will allow patrons admission to any tness or yoga class (aquatic or recreation) during a single day for a set price. Patrons also get admission to any weight or cardio room, drop-in sports activity, pool and open gym – all that same day.More information about the Deluxe Pass and Daily Use Pass,

including pricing, is available in THPRD’s 2015 winter/spring activities guide or www.thprd.org.Satter eld recently surveyed about 1,000 participants at the Stuhr Center about their preferred way of paying for tness classes. She predicted that once they understand their choices, most will prefer the Deluxe Pass.“I see enrollment going up, not down,” she said. “I know people who stopped doing tness because it was too expensive to do multiple classes. With the Deluxe Pass, there are so many classes people can take back-to-back-to-back.”

It kicks off with Small Business Saturday on November 29th (an event created and sponsored by American Express in 2010) and continues through the follow-ing week, culminating with the tree lighting in City Park and the annual Holiday Downtown Open House on the evening of Friday, December 5th.

Eleven Downtown Beaverton Shops have joined to offer visi-tors a bit of fun – and a free gift just for stopping in and becoming acquainted. Pick up a Passport at any participating shop; then visit all the others. Along the way, learn

about Beaverton’s beginnings as you search for answers to several questions listed in the Passport. It’s a perfect activity to share with a group of friends, family members, or even a day of holiday shopping all on your own. Each participating business is family owned and oper-ated, and takes great pride in both our community and the products and services offered.

“All eleven shops are within easy walking distances of one another,” says Deb Messina, event

coordinator and owner of Quilter’s Corner Store. “It’s happening here; it’s happening now” states Deb, “the Shop Small - Shop local concept is critical to the future of every downtown area – and our historic downtown is home to lots of unique, family owned ‘small boxes’ waiting to be discovered”. She continues, “We’re looking for-ward to showing you where we’ve been, where we are, and what we have planned for the future!”

Shops will be open during regu-lar store hours – hours may vary from shop to shop. On December 5, shops will remain open until 9pm for the Holiday Open House.

Passports are available at each Participating Shop. Small Boxes Beaverton news, updates and information about participating shops will be available on their Facebook page: BeavertonDowntownAssociation

Care and Feeding of Your HomeChristmas Light Safety

There are two major safety considerations when hanging

Christmas lights:1. Ladder Safety2. Electrical SafetyAlways use a real ladder and not

a chair or a stool or a pail to stand on. Thanksgiving weekend is not a great time to spend in the emergency room with a broken arm.

If using a conventional steplad-der, make sure it is fully open and all four feet are on solid, level ground.

Never stand on the top or the top step; it’s just too easy to fall, because there is nothing to lean against.

If using an extension ladder, make sure both feet are on solid, level ground and are one foot away from the wall for every four feet up the wall the ladder is resting. If the ladder is 12 feet high on the wall, the feet should be 3 feet out from the wall.

Instead of running extension cords out the window again this year, why not call an electrician and install an outdoor receptacle for your lighting?

To be safe, make sure all lights and electrical decorations are plugged into Ground Fault Interrupter circuits.

Consider putting lights on tim-ers, so they don’t burn all night when there is nobody around to appreciate them. You’ll save a few bucks on your power bill.

If you’re not a DIY type person, but still want lights and decora-tions hung, consider calling a con-tractor to help. Many handyman services will do this sort of work. Some roofers, some window wash-ers, and some pressure washing companies also hang decorations, because they have ladders long enough to get the job done.

Just be sure whomever you hire is licensed. This is just like any other work you are having done on your home. Using an unlicensed contractor puts you in the position of being an employer, responsible for everything, including their medical bills should they get hurt while working on your property.

Be safe and have a merry holidays!

Handyman Bob offers home improvement advice on his radio show, Around The House, every Saturday from noon to 2:00 on FM News 101 KXL.

And, during the week, he is the Development Director for Molly’s Fund Fighting Lupus. For information on this debilitating disease, visit www.mollysfund.org.ollysfund.org.y g

Synopsis: This show is for anyone who finds the holidays more than a little stressful. Armed with a copy of “A Christmas Survival Guide” the characters search for the true essence of Christmas. In songs and vignettes, they learn to cope with the season in ways that are both hilarious and heartwarming. Spiked with comedy, tempered with tender reflections, and infused with some favorite seasonal tunes, this light-hearted revue will de-stress and refresh one and all with holiday cheer!

Synopsis: Follow the adventures of Jo, Meg, Amy, and Beth, as they grow up during the Civil War era. Starting out in poverty, a Christmas-time let- -ter from their absent father serves as inspiration for a posi-tive out- -look, and leads to the intertwining of their lives with their wealthy neighbor and his grandson, Laurie. Despite the petty sibling rivalries, illness, blossoming love interests, and travel, the family re-mains thankful for their blessings and each other.

Meet Beaverton’s Super KidsHighlighting local kids who excel at school

This month’s Beaverton Super Kid is Kayla Bui, a 4th grader

at Greenway Elementary in Beaverton. Kayla is a Super Kid because through Kumon (proud sponsors of this column), she is studying at an incredible 3 years above grade level and received a Gold Star in Math and the Silver Star in Reading, which in Kumon is given only to students who reach high school level material before 6th grade (An amazing accomplishment!).

Meet Kayla

Kayla’s hobbies are spend-ing time with family, reading, swimming and hanging out with friends. She also likes to write poetry and here is one she sub-mitted for this feature:

INDIAN DRESS(Context: I saw many beautiful dresses that girls wore in a wed-ding at India)

I went to the world dress show, And I saw dresses in a row. I liked the Indian dress... the best! With bells, and glass, and colors; With cockshell beads that stand in a row On the Indian dress.

I went to India for summer break with my mom. We went north, south, west and east. I saw all the different dresses of India; Got a bundle of dresses home, and I packed them in my drawer And lived happily ever after!

Courage Comes From WithinBeaverton Business: BUILD! MAINTAIN! GROW! THRIVE!

COURAGE!Of all of the important

leadership characteristics, arguably courage tops the list!

Just showing up…every day…willing to celebrate the wins, and

something goes wrong. Resisting the urge to quit…and to focus on that dream, vision and hope that others criticize…That Takes Courage. Stepping up to be a manager…or owning your own business…THAT Takes courage. Most people can’t, or won’t do it. But here you are! Many will criticize you, thinking they have a better idea, or can do a better job…but are they stepping up? The wins are easy to take credit for, but are they showing up after the losses?

Skills, techniques…in some cases one might have something that others don’t, but generally skills and techniques are practi-cable…and you can improve them!

Courage however…that comes from deep down…and generally speaking you have it, or you don’t. Are you willing to begin a new business today? To take the cor-rect, but least popular path? To go against the norm? COURAGE!

Not everyone has it…so if you do…you are one of the lucky ones…congratulations!

In this fast paced, crazy world,

what is the right way to reach

employees? How do you keep them motivated? How do you keep them? Where digital and social media are words and worlds that are exploding, what is the correct avenue for you? When things go crazy, and few people or no one is knocking on your door…will you

and more make business today more challenging than ever…and

you have to have courage to tackle them day in, and day out.

If you manage or own a busi-ness…if you are a hard working district manager…and you have a vision that no one will deter you from…you have courage. Pretty much everything else can be improved and polished via practice.

COURAGE COMES FROM WITHIN! IF YOU GOT IT…BE THANKFUL!
