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 Chief

In 2013, the City of Beaverton instituted an Armed Forces

Banner Program to honor and recognize Beaverton’s military personnel. The program consists of patriotic eight foot by three foot (8’x3’) banners mounted on City street light poles listing the name and branch of service of current, active duty servicepersons who are residents of Beaverton, have fam-ily members who live in Beaverton or have attended a Beaverton

installed on SW Murray Boulevard on February 20, 2013. There are now 35 banners installed along

SW Murray with eight more soon to be installed. While the program was originally started through seed money from the City of Beaverton, its continued success is dependent upon community support through business donations and sponsor-ships. A special thanks is due to the generous donations made thus far from the following citizens and businesses:

Biamp Beaverton Veteran’s Memorial Beaverton Police Association Leupold & Stevens Electrochem Solutions Bill Rice Debra Callendar Emma Jane Henderson Marvin DotyIf you would like to apply for

a banner for someone you know, please visit our website at: http://www.beavertonoregon.gov/index.

Many of the streets in Beaverton are named after the early settlers who arrived here in the 1800’s.

Beaverton became a county registered township on December 28th, 1868.

Almost 90% of the native Atfalati’s who inhabited the area for thousands of years were gone by the time the first settlers arrived in the late 1840’s.

Hall Blvd was the original Hwy 217 before the freeway was built in the 1970s.

The Atfalati natives referred to the area we call Beaverton as Chikeipi, meaning ‘place of the beaver.’

The land for the city park was donated by William Hocken, former mayor of Beaverton (1914-1917).

Sunset Hwy (Hwy 26) got its name from Sunset Division of the US Army’s 41st Infantry in 1946.

Allen Blvd is named after Orrin Sweet Allen who came to Beaverton in the 1870’s.

Denney Rd is named after Thomas Denney who travelled the Oregon Trail in 1849 before settling in Beaverton in 1850.

In 1896, Frank Livermore operated a sawmill on 280 acres off Wier Rd

Before being platted Beaverton in 1868, this area consisting mainly of farmers was referred to as “Beaverdam”.

Before homes in Murrayhill there were walnut groves.

Peter Scholls came to Oregon in 1847 and built a Ferry to cross the Tualatin River.

Murray Blvd, named after Owen Murray of Cedar Mill, used to be 145th Ave.

Population in 1920? 580Population in 1950? 2,512; Population in 1960 5,937Population in 1980 30,582Population in 2009? 86,860Population in 2013: 91,205

Tulen Center in Raleigh Hills isoffering low cost kids’ self-defense classes to the public this fall. Classes will be held on Friday, September 5th 4-5:30PM and Saturday, October 11th 1-2:30PM for kids 6-11 years old. Scholarships are available. Register online: tulencenter.com/about/selfdefense/ The No! Go! Yell! Tell! self-defense class is fun and empow-ering. The experts at Tulen Center want your child to be aware, but also to feel safe. With age appropriate information presented calmly and clearly, and a focus on your child’s strengths, they do just that. Kids learn to use their voice and get out of situations that are uncomfortable or even threatening. They learn to hit and hit hard. Adults are asked to stay and participate or watch. Children are the safest when strong lines of com-munication are opened up and the conversation is continued at home.

Throughout the downtown area between Broadway St and 4th and Hall and Main St, participating merchants will be offering special promotions for the evening. Check out our three live bands: Bodacious Trio at Lanphere Enterprises,

Suzette Rodway Trio at Beaverton Florists and Skip Farmer Duet at Beaverton Bakery. Limo service pro-vided by Best Rate Limos will shuttle attendees around the downtown area between 5:00-7:45pm.

Zoo News is Good News Trestle-Mania: Zoo Lays Tracks For New Train Route

The new Oregon Zoo railway is just a couple months away

for nearly a year. Circling a 20-foot-high elevated trestle in the forest north of Elephant Lands, the new ride will take passengers along a route optimized for spectacular views of animals as well as the annual winter ZooLights display, which opens Nov. 28.

“We planned construction very carefully to minimize the impact on visitors,” said Heidi Rahn, who oversees projects funded by the community-supported 2008 bond measure. “We knew we would have to take the trains out of service for a while as we built the new route, but we kept the schedule tight and have stuck to it.”

Rerouting the train was neces-sary as the zoo began a major transformation last year, breaking ground on both Condors of the Columbia, which opened in May,

and the new Elephant Lands — a sweeping expansion of the zoo’s Asian elephant habitat that will quadruple the animals’ space and dramatically enhance their daily experiences.

The elevated trestle presented some challenges due to its forested location. Three different cranes were called into service to lift, tilt and gently maneuver thousands of pounds of steel girders among the leafy thickets.

“The entire trestle was assem-bled and bolted up like one of those toy erector sets,” said project engi-neer Wayne Starkey. “It’s taken lots of planning and logistics. If it were being built in the middle of nowhere, there’d be no problem.”

The zoo railway evolved out of plans for a children’s train when the zoo moved to its current site in the late 1950s. The Old West–inspired Centennial steam locomotive and the sleek, retro-modern Zooliner both date to that time and were featured during Oregon’s 1959 centennial celebration.

Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Wear your bike helmet – every time!

As area kids soak up the remainder

of their summer vaca-tion and prepare to head back to school, it’s a good time to make sure your young bike riders are remem-bering to wear their bike helmets every time they get on a bicycle.

Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue receives a higher number of emergency response calls in the summer, as well as before and after school gets out, for children involved in bicycle accidents. It’s important to wear a bike helmet no matter what your age, but for kids 16-years-old and younger, it’s also the law in Oregon if you’re riding in a public place because bike helmets protect your brain.

Wearing a bicycle helmet can

reduce your risk of a bicycle-related head injury by about 88 percent. Yet nation-wide estimates show that only about 15 percent of children use helmets all or most of the time when cycling – so there is

Perhaps the most important step you can take as a parent is to model good habits for your kids. Just like putting on seatbelts when you get in the car, make sure everyone in the family wears a bike helmet every time they ride, so it becomes a good habit.

For motorists, it’s also an important

reminder to be extra vigilant and look out for young riders when driving in your neighborhood and near schools.

For more information on bike helmets, visit www.tvfr.com.

New Business SpotlightThe Garage Sale Warehouse

Just like most small businesses, The Garage Sale Warehouse

started in the owners’ garage. Kent & Jami Drangsholt began buying abandoned storage units like on the TV show “Storage Wars” back in May of 2010. Weekend garage sales became a part of their lives.

They advertised and would get a crowd of 500 over a weekend. The “regulars” kept saying that they should open a business with

found that the “hobby” had out grown their 3 car garage.

In July of 2013, Jami convinced Kent to open a small store located on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway. It then became the place “Where It’s A Garage Sale Everyday”.

Two month’s into that, they added a 10,000 square foot location

around the corner on Western Ave. It houses 80 vendors that also scour the NW for cool and unusual items. It can take hours to see it all!

If that weren’t enough, six months later they opened a 15,000 square foot store on Walker Road in the old JoAnne’s fabric building! That store has over 100 vendors that bring their wonderful treasures for sale.

All three stores have new items coming in on a daily basis so it’s always fun to browse. It’s well lit

with wide aisles in a comfortable air conditioned warehouse envi-ronment that is also pet friendly!

Sustainable BeavertonNew Solar mapping tool is coming to Beaverton

Beaverton residents now have access to a free tool that

reveals the solar potential of every home and building in the city. Mapdwell: Solar System has devel-oped the innovative website, which was brought to Beaverton through a trial sponsorship from Energy Trust of Oregon. The Mapdwell website gives information such as how long it will take for your solar system to pay for itself, renewable energy generation, and carbon offsets.

Energy Trust, an independent -

ity customers generate renewable power, is offering Mapdwell to

help residents and business owners so they can make informed deci-sions about whether a rooftop solar system is right for them.

“I encourage everyone to visit the Mapdwell website and explore this innovative 3-D technology

of installing solar panels. It even calculates how much carbon you helped keep out of the atmosphere and tells you how many trees would need to be planted to achieve that same carbon reduction,” says Lizzie Rubado, senior solar project manager, Energy Trust.

The easy-to-use tool calculates and maps the solar energy poten-tial for every point on a rooftop for every hour of the year, taking into

and any physical obstructions such as trees and neighboring buildings.

Mapdwell provides users with 3-D models that account for the shape of building rooftops and structures, existing infrastructure and foliage.

“We feel fortunate that Beaverton was included in this trial through Energy Trust,” said Mayor Denny Doyle. “We hope the Mapdwell website helps residents and business owners make smart sustainable choices..”.

Native Plant of the MonthEvergreen Huckleberry

Evergreen Huckleberry is a hardy shrub that is native from

California on up to the British Columbia region. They are very nice in a natural landscape and don’t require much attention or watering after they are established.

Consisting of green leaves that have a bronzy cast to them, they also have clusters of bell-shaped

color and bloom from March till May. It also produces round, edible, black berries which are often used to make syrups and Jams (great in pies too!).

Reaching up to 10 feet tall in shady areas or around 3 feet in full sun, Evergreen Huckleberry are easily pruned to make a hedge or can be trimmed into a round shape.

They are often seen sprouting up out of old stumps in the wild.

These shrubs are great looking evergreens and can be spotted in a lot of the city of Beaverton land-scapes because of the appeal and low maintenance.

This Native Plant of the Month has been brought to you by the City of Bea-verton’s Landscape and Urban Forestry Department. Visit Clean Water Ser-vice’s Native Plant Finder webpage for interactive questions to help you find the right native plant to fit your needs!

Food for Thought: Dining Out at the Olive Garden

So you’d like to go out to dinner and feel good about what you’re

eating! Let’s develop a strategy for eating out and use a popular Itlalian restaurant like Olive Garden as our example.

Since this is going to be a protein meal, it would be best to eat early. Protein takes more time to digest than a complex carbohydrate like bread and pasta.

So let’s begin our meal with an appetizer. An order of calamari or a neutral vegetable like asparagus would be good here. Then for the main course, we can continue in the protein family with a chicken, sea food or meat dish accompanied by a vegetable. All you can eat salad? Great! All you can eat bread sticks? Not so good. Remember, we are

trying to avoid too many complex carbohydrates. If the dish comes with pasta, why not substitute a vegetable (which they allow) or take the pasta home for another day. Moderation is the key.

Now, if you have your heart set on pasta, then begin with the bruschetta,

looking over their pastas. And choose

Again, you can substitute a vegetable. Eat lots of their delicious salad AND a couple bread sticks this time.

For cheesey dishes such as, smoked mozzarella or a cheese ravi-oli, pair these with either a protein or the complex carbohydrate dish. Their fat content makes it compatible with either dish (although I don’t suggest this every time).

The strategy is same for all restau-rants you would want to visit. Simply

choose two main food groups, either -

plex carbohydrate (starchy food) such as potato, rice, pasta and bread. But whichever way you go, make sure to include a cooked vegetable and/or a salad.

Remember: have fun, eat well and always - always “Let food be thy medicine!” - - Hippocrates

As a graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu Program in Culinary Studies, I enjoy experiencing the fine dining avail-able at so many of our local eating establishments. Beaverton has such diversity to offer the curious pal-ate 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 ReviewHall Street Grill

Lisa Notaras, Hall Street Grill’s General Manager since 2010,

takes pride in ensuring the long-term success of this restaurant. She talked about seeing multiple generations of patrons eat within the walls which is a testament to the restaurant’s lon-gevity, a mainstay in the Beaverton community since 1977.

To keep this goal intact, she brought along Travis Dickinson, who worked his way up the culi-nary ladder at HSG, and is now Executive Chef. While I was there, Chef Travis mentioned how he strives to provide a mix of mod-ern creations in addition to the traditional menu items. Wild Boar Scrapple, the 20 Hour Bavette Steak and Charred Octopus are just 3 examples of his non-traditional fearlessness!

Before the end of my visit, Travis showed me his herb and vegetable garden in the back of the restaurant, adjacent to the patio. Reminiscent of something you would see in a provincial eatery in Europe, this garden (and the use of local growers like Millennium Farms & Draper Valley) speaks volumes to Hall Street Grill’s dedi-cation to sourcing fresh and local edibles.

These were the three dishes Travis prepared for me:

��Charred Octopus ($12.95 )

Typically, when you eat octo-pus, there is an expectation that it is going to be a bit rubbery. Prepared with tomato, olive, chorizo, saffron

potatoes, added balsamic and chili oil, the texture of the octopus is simply remarkable. It is so tender… to the point where you can actually cut it with a fork! The daring pair-

the chorizo with the octopus. It has this ‘Latin’ feel about it, with the infusion of the chili oil and saf-fron but I keep going back to that wonderful octopus; it was the most tender octopus I had ever tasted. To the hesitant seafood connoisseur, please do not overlook giving this octopus delicacy a try.

��Oregon Albacore ($28.95)

Pan seared rare with sum-mer vegetable capponata, baba

-fron aioli and opal basil, the Oregon Albacore is a locally inspired, seasonal offering (which means don’t wait too long to order this one). The tuna is paprika rubbed, perfectly seared with a hint of heat. The baba ganouch and saffron aioli offers a creamy balance to the bold

to the heartiness of the meal.

��Bacon Poached Pork Loin ($28.95)

Two excellent seafood meals to start off my foodie journey here; now for something a bit bolder. The pork loin, in my opinion, is my favorite part of the pig because it

you want to infuse into the meat. When prepared correctly, it is ten-der and juicy (when overcooked, it will bring a tear to my eye). Chef Travis had fun with this one. The potatoes are prepared like a warm

potato salad. The peaches are soft and sweet and the ricotta salata gives a crunchy snap to the meal. It is savory, sweet and just plain delicious.

This was a fun visit. Not only is the food remarkably splendid, the service is just as delightful. Every member of the Hall Street Grill staff performed like a well-oiled machine. There were people zoom-ing this way and that way; every-

What I take away from visiting this eatery is that you have the per-

a reason why the Hall Street Grill has been around for nearly forty years. And as long as they continue to prepare dishes like I got to try on this particular day, they will be around for 40 more.

Lisa and Travis, thank you for taking such great care of me!

Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District: connecting people, parks and nature‘Sunday Trailways’ to offer free fun for everyone Sept. 21

Sunday Trailways, a free THPRD event offering activi-

ties, entertainment and education along the Beaverton portion of the Westside Regional Trail, is set for Sunday, Sept. 21. The third annual event will run from 11 am to 3 pm.

“Sunday Trailways is a fun, active, and family-oriented event,” said Lisa Novak, THPRD superin-tendent of Programs and Special Activities. “It showcases our 60-mile trail system and the safe, off-street routes it provides for walkers, runners and bicyclists.”

The Westside Trail extends six mostly con-tinuous miles within THPRD boundaries northward from Barrows Road to the Tualatin Hills Nature Park and the MAX station at Merlo Road.

It’s a place to exercise, commute, walk the dog or just stroll through meadows, along green spaces, and over Mt. Williams, which offers compelling scenery.

During Sunday Trailways,

levels are invited to “walk, run, ride or roll” the trail to a variety of free activities along the trail at Hart Meadows Park and Summercrest Park (in the power-line corridor between Hart Road and Rigert Road).

basic bicycle repair, bicycle helmet inspection, the THPRD Rec Mobile and Nature Mobile, and more.

Catch and Release (11:30 am

to 1 pm) and Trashcan Joe (1:30 to 3 pm) will perform live music. Activities will go on continuously for all four hours of the event, meaning participants can join them whenever they like.

For a map and more detailed information, visit www.thprd.org. For additional assistance, call 503- 645-6433.

Sunday Trailways will kick off at 11 am with a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating a new 1.5- mile section of the Westside Trail that was funded by

THPRD’s 2008 voter-approved bond measure.

The $4.1 million project entailed the completion of three trail segments that were previously

challenges, including the need to protect sensitive wetlands. One new segment, over Mt. Williams, was particularly imposing because of steep inclines, trees and other factors.

Completion of the project represented another milestone in THPRD’s efforts to create a mostly continuous 10-mile north-south backbone running through the district from Barrows Road to the PCC Rock Creek Campus in the Bethany area.

A volunteer for the Northwest Bicycle Safety Council adjusts a new bike helmet to the head of a youngster at THPRD’s 2013 Sunday Trailways. It’s just one of many activities that are part of the annual event. This year’s Sunday Trailways happens Sept. 21 along the

Westside Regional Trail.

Q: I’ve seen cars parked on the wrong side of the street which means they had face

oncoming traffic to get there! Can they get a ticket if a patrol car comes by?

A: Yes, they can be cited under ‘ORS 811.570, Improperly Positioning a Parallel Parked Vehicle’. This law states that on a two-way road, vehicles must be parked so the right-hand wheels are parallel to and whining 12 inches of the right curb or edge. This offense is a class D violation and the presumptive fine is set at $110.

Q: There is a car in our neighborhood that has not moved in ages. Is there any law for how long a car

can be parked on the side of the road without moving?

A: Yes, if it is classified as “abandoned” (an abandoned vehicle is one left in circumstances demonstrating its owner never intends to return). A motor vehicle shall be deemed abandoned if it remains upon any street for a period in excess of 48 hours and the motor vehicle:

Reasonably appears incapable of self-propulsion; or

Does not display a current registration plate or a current trip permit; or

Is on a street and is not registered to a person at the address of property on the same side of the street that abuts the part of the street upon which the motor vehicle is located; or

Is on public property other than a street without the consent of the owner, occupant and any other person in lawful possession of the public property.

Note: Laws relative to abandoned vehicles outside the city may be different.

Q: Who would I contact to get a pot hole or other street damage fixed?

A: Contact the City of Beaverton Operation Department at 503-526-2220 to report any street maintenance.

Q&A with the Beaverton Car GuyMaintenance on a Leased Vehicle

Question:Dear Beaverton Car Guy, I am

leasing a new vehicle and was won-dering if I need to do all of the fac-tory recommended maintenance?

- - Robert

Answer:The short answer is yes and

here is why: Most Leases are for either 24,

or 36 months and the manufactur-er’s warranty is usually 36 months, or 36,000 miles bumper to bumper

though this means that the vehicle would be under warranty during the entire time you are leasing it, there is a good chance that the warranty would not cover certain repairs (mechanical breakdown or sensor failure) due to lack of main-tenance or servicing your vehicle.

For example, a client recently came into one of the dealerships. They were under factory warranty. The vehicle has 34,500 miles on it

and it stopped running while they were driving. When the vehicle arrived via tow truck at the dealer-ship, an inspection for diagnosis was performed. The technician discovered that the camshaft sen-sor failed due to being covered in ‘extremely soiled engine oil’ (aka SLUDGE!). After further inspection, it was determined that there was very little engine oil in the engine. When asked for any service records, the vehicle owner was unable to produce any

situation to be in for both parties. The Dealership had to inform the customer that the needed repair could not be covered under war-ranty because there was no faulty part or workmanship. The Owner of the vehicle has a costly repair at their own expense, which far exceeded the simple cost of a few oil changes. The sensor going out was a drop in the bucket compared to the amount of damage that was done to the engine for not having changed the oil since he got it new.

The moral of the story is that it is always a good idea to perform the recommended service from

the owner’s manual (as well as in the service log book) that comes with every new vehicle. Do this religiously and dealerships will sometimes even cover what is not under warranty as a goodwill ges-ture and thank you for taking such good care of your car. There are no secrets and no surprises.

Busy Beavers at Beaverton HighA New Year and a New Look at Beaverton High

The busy beavers at Beaverton High are back to school again

starting Sept. 3 and when they arrive there will be some very notable changes awaiting them.

The most visible difference is the school's new paint job and reno-vations! Gone are the days of gaudy teal walls, replaced by the school colors of orange, black, and white. Inside the school, locations such as the library, student center, and gym have been improved upon over the summer break. Additionally, a new

community health center will be opening in the West Annex.

important eco-friendly change is Beaverton's determination to go paperless. Starting the year with that goal in mind, the school is get-ting rid of the standard paper infor-mation packet given to students, and replacing it with an online version. Only a very small number were printed in order to accom-modate students without internet access at home.

As for the curriculum, there is now a wider variety of electives along with a strengthened core of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) classes intended to increases stu-dents’ interest in their courses and improve their impact. This in turn is hoped to lead to an increase in Beaverton’s graduation rate, which has consistently remained between 75 and 78 percent in recent years.

Though many improvements have been made, the hallmarks of a Beaverton education have not changed. Tradition has remained a core principle in daily life at school

since its establishment in 1908, and the staff’s commitment to making Beaverton a safe learning envi-ronment for all students has only strengthened with time.

Although only time can tell where the school and its students will go from here, it’s certain that Beaverton’s future is nothing if not bright.

Musings of a Beaverton TeenSchool is a Shared Experience... with Friends!

No matter how often I listen to Alice Cooper's "School's

Out," I can't prevent the school year’s arrival:

I will return to a fresh, not yet scribbled-on desk. I will receive handouts and go home with homework. I will eat lunch.And I can't wait!

For me, returning to school isn’t a demon but a delight. After ten weeks of break, my friends and I are ready to return to our old stomping ground. Every day I'll be enveloped by my friends: convers-ing, collaborating, conquering new academic enterprises. I may be legally required to go to school, but so are my friends, making the arrival of every new year exciting.

I will sit in a clean desk, and make more friends with whomever sits next to me. I will discuss my homework with other friends and check that we actually learned the material. I will eat lunch - with friends.

Yes, sitting in a desk at school for six hours a day staring at a PowerPoint may be less preferable than sitting at a desk at home for six

Everybody has to go to school; it’s a shared experience. Even lectures that make Ben Stein’s droning in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off sound enthralling will become conversa-tion fodder between friends and a way to make new ones.

We only get thirteen years in the public schooling system. With my friends, I'm ready to tackle one more. Alice Cooper will just have to wait till June.

It was noticed and commented on by the Treasure Hunters TV show when the hosts visited Beaverton last month.

Beaverton HistoryTwenty Millionth Ford Visits Beaverton

Milestone car celebrations weren’t a new idea in 1931.

Ford Motor Company com-memorated production of their Ten Millionth in 1924 and Fifteen Millionth in 1927, but the Twenty Millionth was something special. It marked the end and beginning of an era in automobile production.

In the early years of the 20th century, car ownership was uncom-mon: Only one in 9,500 Americans had a vehicle in 1900. The few who did endured challenging driv-ing conditions--few paved roads, a foot or more of summer dust, and two or three feet of winter mud.

It was a newsworthy item when someone did buy a vehicle. The November 14, 1907 issue of the Hillsboro Argus informed readers

that W.E. Wheeler purchased a “genuine horseless carriage for his use. It enjoys the distinction of being the only one in the county, so far as known. This makes two automobiles for Hillsboro.”

The Owl, Beaverton’s news-paper, reported in July 1913 that greenhouse owner Michael Welter

Ford, accompanied by his son Edsel in the passenger seat, drove a Model A Slant Windshield Town Sedan off the Dearborn, Michigan assembly line and into history in April 1931. It was black and displayed the blue and white com-pany logo along with the words

Colonel C.D. Hilton then embarked on a national publicity and goodwill tour that began in New York, headed to the West Coast, Southwest, and South, before returning to Michigan. Stopovers included Ford dealerships, state capitals, prominent sites, and geo-graphic landmarks.

Sizable crowds gathered and bands played as local dignitaries, celebrities, and townsfolk greeted the procession of up to 20 other Model A’s.

Beaverton was no exception when an enthusiastic assembly of civic and business leaders, families and farmers, greeted the parade in front of the Bank of Beaverton on Farmington Road and Watson Street. The country was on the move and the open road lay ahead.Interested in more local history?Visit the Beaverton History Center!

100 Petabyte Data Center Opens in BeavertonOHSU Builds New Center for Medical Research

A new dome on the West Campus of Oregon Health & Science

University is covering some of the country's most advanced medical research. The new 18,000-square-foot OHSU data center opened this summer in Beaverton.

The hospital expects it will be used to gather and analyze "enor-mous" amounts of biomedical data to help scientists better understand and potentially cure diseases.

Scientists said it will help pio-neer what they're calling "big data" medical research. Workers have affectionately dubbed it the "Data Dome."

capacity. At full capacity, the cen-ter will eventually be able to pro-vide 3.8 megawatts of computing power, more than 10 times OHSU's current system.

It could also be able to store, at its peak, thousands of computers and 100 petabytes of data. One petabyte is 1 million gigabytes.

The unusual domed design will harness all that energy with an

Business SpotlightLisa’s Acupuncture, Blending Eastern and Western Medicine

It’s hard to drive more than a few blocks in Beaverton without see-

ing a sign for an acupuncture clinic. With all of the choices available, it could be assumed that all of the practices are the same. But when it comes to Swedsih born Lisa Thorborg nothing could be further from the truth.

Lisa got her start in healthcare in 1974 when she became a licensed physical therapist. For the next few decades she honed her skills while working in private practices before deciding that a more holistic form of medicine could both treat and prevent a wide variety of health issues that was not limited to mus-culoskeletal ailments. When she discovered acupuncture, she knew she had found her calling.

In 2004 she switched her focus and became licensed in acupunc-ture and oriental medicine.

Why Acupuncture?

Acupuncture has the ability to treat a wide variety of ailments such as acute or chronic pain, anxi-ety, depression, allergies, arthritis, whiplash and infertility. It can even help you quit smoking!

With ongoing treatments, Lisa combines her physical therapy experience with her knowledge of Eastern Medicine to promote heal-ing and balance that helps to treat and prevent many different kinds of illnesses or injuries.

Her experience in both Eastern and Western Medicine gives her the unique ability to recognize how best to treat an injury.

In celebration of the clinic’s 10-year anniversary, Lisa is offering all new patients $20 off their first visit.

You Do Speak English, Don’t You?A show by Mark and Helena Greathouse

Saturday, Sept 13, 10:45am - noon

Mark and Helena Greathouse, an international husband

and wife music duo, present their one hour performance, “You Do Speak English, Don’t You?” as a

family friendly, lively cabaret style program. The core part of the show had two successful showings at the Portland Fertile Ground Festival of New Works this last January/February.

The show features Mark’s own songs, as well several familiar songs and parts of instrumental numbers, all interspersed with short, humorous dialogues high-lighting challenges Mark and Helena have experienced in their lives.

Mark’s compositions range from love songs to ragtime. Helena presents a unique blend of expres-sive dance and song. Mark accom-panies her on the accordion.

Mark is a musician/composer from Portland, and Helena is a singer/actor/dancer originally from Prague, Czech Republic. The show gives the story of how the two met in Europe and eventually married, moved to the U.S. and made their living here.

Mark and Helena have per-formed for many years in the Northwest as well as in several

European countries. Each began performing in their youth, Mark with his dad on stage in Portland, and Helena on Czechoslovak National Radio and TV in Prague. Little did they know then that, fol-lowing their professional careers, they would once again be perform-ing and having fun at it. Their stage name is ‘GREATHOUSE of Music’ and they have a line of CDs. Check out their website at: www.greathouseofmusic.com.

Saturday, Sept 13th, 10:45am-12pm at the Beaverton History Center (12412 SW Broadway).

Message From the Market MasterFarmers and their Love/Hate Relationship with Mother Nature

One thing that I have learned in my 19 years as a farmers’

market manager is that I would never want to grow anything for a living. It would be terrible to have no control over things that could

to produce. Pesky things such as insects, chemical drift from neigh-

Every season brings new chal-lenges to our farmers – blights, infestations, crop failure, and more. Thankfully, farmers are a

resilient bunch and are not easily discouraged! Take, for example, last winter. The weather was brutal. It brought snow that crushed hoop houses, or tunnels, that farmers use to protect crops and extend the growing season. The loss of those tunnels meant not only losing the crop they contained, but the one that was to be planted afterwards until it was replaced.

Tom Denison of Dension Farms lost 20 such tunnels, which set back his production for months. Mak Lilies lost a greenhouse, which cut their market season several weeks shorter than usual.

Thankfully, after all that, Mother Nature decided to give some of our growers a break by offering up what Tom says is “undeniably the best tomato grow-ing season, ever”!

While the berry growers aren’t as happy about our hot spring and summer temperatures, most farm-ers are thrilled with this year’s growing season. Chris Hertel of Sun Gold Farm went so far as to say that “if you don’t do well this season, you are just a bad farmer”.

A great growing season is some-times a double-edged sword. When one farmer has a great season, it often means that others will too. This can lead to a glut of product in the market causing prices to crash. When asked about his concern for the price of tomatoes in the coming months, Tom reported that so far the market has been able to support the amount of fruit they are produc-ing, most of which is coming from those tunnels that survived the

in, the supply in the market will

increase. That, coupled with the fact that homegrown tomato plants will be ripening at that time, may bring a glut of tomatoes that causes an undesirable drop in price.

In any case, you can bet that our farmers will resign themselves to accept whatever Mother Nature has in store for them, for that is the nature of farming. It takes a particular kind of person to be a farmer, and in our opinion, it is the best kind! See you at the Market!

See you at the Market!

Masriera celebrates this year the 175th anniversary of its founda-tion. The artist, Lluis Masriera,

using motifs borrowed from nature, that formed the heart of the Art Nouveau movement.

Masriera is recognized world-wide for its work in enamel, char-acterized by its great luminosity, depth of color and deep relief carv-ing. Enameling is a delicate dance between two opposing materials merged with heat; is it not for the faint of heart. Master craftsmen blend pigments with crushed glass, then apply them to the gold base. The piece is then heated in a kiln- removed, slowly cooled and pumiced smooth. It takes countless

delicate translucent layering of colors Masriera is known for. The original molds created in steel are still used today, by master crafts-men who painstakingly create each piece using the age old process of

painting with glass. After all of the enamel is complete, the artist will hand set diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and various other colored gemstones into the piece. They are each serialized with a date code

of authenticity.Masriera is currently the only

Synopsis: James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's fa-vorite Brothers Grimm characters and bring them together for a mod-ern classic. The story follows a Baker and his wife who wish to have a child, Cinderella who wishes to attend the King's Festival, and Jack who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with

disastrous results.

Is that a $28 Steak?BUILD! MAINTAIN! GROW! THRIVE!

Recently, a few couples went out for dinner to celebrate one

of our 50th Birthdays.The place we chose was very

nice. Rustic but elegant. The wait-ress was very good. A bit over the top, but very good nonetheless. No Complaints. 6 out of the 7 adults decided to go with the special…a NY Steak! It sounded fantastic!

Our waitress gave us one of those Northwest Restaurant descriptions: From The Carlton Ranch…Of The Painted Hills…Corn Fed…Free Range…Never Corralled…Aged To Perfection...she said it would be the best steak we’ve had in a long time! SOLD! IT SOUNDED GREAT!

The steaks arrived…served in a bowl interestingly…they looked delicious!

You know what? They were OK. Not bad. But just OK! Not amazing…not taste bud tingling…just ok. Not the best steak we’d had in a long time, that’s for sure.

We walked out…not disap-pointed…but not excited. No one exclaimed: “We HAVE to come back here next year!”

JUST OK…and even GOOD is Not Good Enough Any More!

Peoples’ expectations are too high…and there is too much good competition out there for OK or GOOD to be good enough.

In this case…the product did not match the pitch. The talk was talked…and the walk was not walked.

Words are just words…if the service and product do not match them…and knock your socks off. That is the world we live in. Customers will not hesitate to jump on social media or Yelp and give you an average to terrible review.

An average review is just as bad

Synopsis: A wealthy spinster and her maid take a Connecticut sum-mer home in 1931. When they arrive, all the help has quit, except for an odd butler who warns that something strange is going on. They are soon joined by the spinster’s niece who’s brought a “friend” who turns out to be a young man! After a night of attempted break-ins, the sound of gunshots, and the discovery of a dead body, the detective arrives

and things get really strange!

as a terrible review. No Bueno!Your words are part of your

brand. If you are the best, if you have the best, or just something awesome and amazing…BACK IT UP!

Be careful how you brag…as people are suspicious of that. Too much spam, junk mail and awful marketing out there over promis-ing, and under delivering (even tricking)…have consumers overly suspicious of bragging.

Not only are your words your brand…but so are:

Your Floor (How clean is it?)Your People (How cool and amazingly engaged and interested are they?)Your Product (Does it match your promises? Does it exceed?)Your Service (Do you surprise and dazzle customers? Are they the most important people in your business life?)Your Toilet!! (Yep…your commode is part of your brand. How clean is your potty? Do your people check the bathroom hourly? Yep, hourly! Because if someone has a great experience at your place and has to use it, and it’s gross…you lose!)

It’s harder to keep customers more than ever. Good and JUST OK…are the enemies of Great!

Are you great? Are your people great? There’s a difference between you thinking so…and what your customers think!

My steak… was good…just OK. Not worth $28 bucks a piece for my wife and I. It might be hard for me to go back…we’ll see.

MAKE IT EASY FOR PEOPLE TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU!

Tales of a Beaverton Super-MomOverachieving is Overrated...At Least in the Summer!

I’m writing this two weeks before school starts, and I am

FREAKING. OUT. Not because the kids don’t have adequate clothes or supplies or I’m wor-ried about the schools they’ll be attending-- but because it’s late August and we have done NOTHING. Well, we’ve actually done EVERYTHING we wanted to, and nothing we probably should have. Don’t judge, but my children have not cracked open a workbook or read required anything or even thought about the speed of two trains going in opposite direc-tions—for TWO MONTHS!! And I am STRESSING because I know this means they are already behind and that inevitably someone will ask them what they’ve studied over the summer-- and the biggest issue with these durned children is that they will be completely honest and say, “NOT A THING!” with huge, popsicle-stained grins on their faces. And my secret will be out.

(Now, in my defense, I did purchase those well-intentioned workbooks that promise a $10 gift

the children actually FINISH them. Unfortunately, not only were they

weren’t actually all that motivated to even OPEN them …and since I’ve always been reluctant about rewarding for learning, anyway,

we have some pristine workbooks that are yours for the asking!)

How DID they spend their time, you’re wondering? It all seems a blur now…but I do remember picking and baking and tracking dirt all over and watch-ing endless movies and building things and breaking things and dipping our toes in water from at least four different counties and hours of “unrequired” reading and playing on electronics A LOT and staying out late and smelling like

staring at the ceiling and staring at the stars and running them to their beloved camps and drawing and riding bikes way too fast downhill and hanging out with friends. But I do not remember much study-ing of anything beyond the map of our vacation. And I’m cross-

world will forgive, because beyond them memorizing times tables and literary terms, I memorized the

importantly, the laughter. Like the day I was beyond exasperated for no particular reason in Kohl’s, while the big girls were in a rare partnership while making fun of my short temper, and all I wanted to do was decide on the color of a discounted kitchen stool so I inno-cently asked if there was a sample I could take home-- to which my 12 yr-old deadpanned, “So mom, what you’re saying is you’d like to take home a stool sample?” And my irritated façade immediately cracked because I was giggling so hard I almost peed. Or the time my 5 yr-old was transferring items from her “experiment” headquar-ters on the back deck (where things

inadvertently combusted during those unusually hot days), and she accidently spilled some disgusting goop on Aurelia, then objected to

“Au-WAY-lia!! You act like you’re not even a WASHABLE marker!!” Or the afternoon we made an impromptu beach trip, which turned out to be the most magical of sunset-and-s’mores night but started off very unpromising (as the best moments typically do, and one must just stoically plug through to get to the good part), and the big girls were arguing like only tweens can with me and each other in McMenamin’s, and all I wanted was to order a Ruby and lay my head down…when Kiana sidled up to me in her I-Must-Be-The-Best-Daughter-Because-I-Am-Not-Misbehaving impression and randomly whispered in my ear, “Hashtag: I love you, mom.”

SONG OF NATUREWatch the sunshine shine upon;

Hear soft sound of birds flapping;

The sweet sound of sparrows singing;

And the breeze swaying the tree from side to side;

The flowers’ fragrance so sweet to smell,

straining to go up the nose of the birdies.

The Care & Feeding of Your HomeWhen Seconds Count…

It was just a little before 7:00 AM when the phone rang. On the

other end, an excited voice identi-

turn off the water to the house?” Having been their handyman

for many years, I knew the layout of the home well and directed her to the correct valve. I also asked her to call me back once the water was off to explain what was happening.

his shower and turned the mixer valve off, when he heard water running inside the wall. A minute or two later, his wife saw water

-tures and built-in speakers above the dining room table downstairs.

Later that morning, after removing the shelving unit from their walk-in closet and opening

up the sheetrock wall adjacent to the shower, I found a broken plas-tic (CPVC) water pipe. The next series of calls included an insur-ance adjuster and my plumber.

Would you know how to turn off the water to your home in an emergency? At normal city water pressure, about 15 gallons of water

-ute you spend looking for the valve. That’s almost a thousand gallons of water every hour you spend waiting for a plumber to arrive!

Modern plumbing codes require a shut-off valve on the “house main”. Sometimes it is in the garage or in a closet or in the base-ment, but it’s always fairly acces-sible. Today would be a good day to look for and tag it. If you need help locating it, it would be money well spent to have a plumber or a handyman come assist you.

If there is no main water shut-off in your home, every home on a municipal system has a water

meter, which does have a shut-off valve in it. This is what the water company uses when someone doesn’t pay the water bill. You can buy a “meter key” at any hardware store and that will allow you to shut off the water “at the street”.

By learning how to control the

gain the ability to dramatically reduce damage to your property in the event of an emergency.
