Message from the Chief

Saving Lives with Naloxone By Chief Jim Monger

O

pioid drugs include illicit drugs like heroin and prescription pain relief drugs like morphine, Fentanyl, OxyContin, and Hydrocodone. These drugs are highly addictive and have led to an epidemic of overdose deaths. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 500,000 people have died from overdoses between 2000 and 2015. Ninety-one Americans die every day from opioid overdose. Some of these deaths include children who get into their parent’s medicine cabinets. Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue (TVF&R) statistics show from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016, they responded to 67 opioid overdose calls in Beaverton and 2 were fatal. For several years, EMS providers possessed a drug they could use to stop the effects of opioid overdoses and keep the patient alive. The drug, commonly known as Narcan, is now available in a nasal application form called

Naloxone. Naloxone is intended for lay persons to administer in emergency situations. Clackamas County police agencies have been carrying Naloxone for the past year and have saved several lives. Last summer, the Beaverton Police Department partnered with TVF&R to explore equipping RXU RI¿FHUV ZLWK 1DOR[RQH :H OHDUQHG WKH :DVKLQJWRQ &RXQW\ 6KHULIIœV 2I¿FH ZDV DOVR H[SORULQJ Naloxone, and joined with them to form a team from several other :DVKLQJWRQ &RXQW\ SROLFH DJHQFLHV WR WUDLQ DQG HTXLS RI¿FHUV WR use Naloxone.

#3( )JTUPSZ 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 ďŹ rst edition in April of 2011 featuring local businesses, community news, and the Farmers Market. That ďŹ rst issue was 16 pages. Today, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by a diverse cross section of public and private community organizations.

#3( (PBMT 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 ďŹ rst patron nearby businesses and give them a chance before looking at stores outside our community. #3( "EWFSUJTJOH With our unique layout, colorful design and exclusive community content, our readers are beyond loyal as reected by our 80%+ readership rate each month since early 2013. Not only do they want to know what’s happening in Beaverton each month, but they also agree with our philosophy staying 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 large quantities and mail them out to uninterested parties. Our papers are located in convenient and high trafďŹ c locations ready to be picked up by those who shop local. With low rates, targeted distribution and a willingness to provide more value than what you pay for, you’ll ďŹ nd that we’re just as interested in introducing your business to the community as you are!

A Slice of Wilderness By Joy Cote

e had started coming to the Nature Park Interpretive Center just off of TV Highway and Millikan when our children were young. They were still building the park at that time and we had the opportunity to not only watch our children grow, but the park as well. :H ZHQW IURP ZDONLQJ RQ WKH paved paths to walking on the more challenging trails that weave throughout the whole park. Our children grew from tiny kids, excited by a newt crossing the

walkway, to young adults who would explain to me what kind of tree or ivy we were looking at. The last time I had come to the park, my youngest daughter was getting her senior pictures taken; now here I am with my Dad making yet another memory. As I watched my Dad slowly VKXIĂ€H WR WKH QHDUE\ EHQFK , smiled as he stops to take a small break, when a little boy about three years old, went racing by him only to suddenly switch directions and stop when he spotted a frog on the pathway.

In that one moment I realized I had come full circle, I took my Dad’s arm and help him the rest of the way over to the bench and we sat and talked watching the kids go by, most were running carefree and happy to be so close to nature.

Beaverton Creek Trail: Westside Trail - Hocken Avenue Vicinity Map OD WO LL DE

T

he Metro Council has approved a $3.7 million federal grant to the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District for construction of a new, 1.5-mile trail near downtown Beaverton that will offer a variety of beneÂżts to users. The Beaverton Creek Trail will run east-west and connect Hocken Avenue in Beaverton to the Westside Regional Trail at the Tualatin Hills Nature Park. The pathway will be 12 feet wide, which is typical for a regional trail segment. Funding will be awarded in 2019. The park district anticipates starting construction in 2020 and Âżnishing by the end of 2021. A Metro analysis shows that residents near the trail corridor include signiÂżcantly above-

average populations of minorities, low-income and youth. User beneÂżts will include a more pleasant, off-street transportation experience, safer passage, and improved access to light-rail and bus lines, employment and commercial areas, recreation and natural areas. It also Âżlls a gap in THPRD’s 70-mile trail system for walkers, joggers, bicyclists and others. “Obviously, we are thrilled by this major grant, one of the largest we’ve ever received,â€? said Doug Menke, THPRD general manager. “Trails are quite popular in our greater Beaverton area, with residents using them hundreds of thousands of times each year. It’s the main reason we have invested so much time, energy and funds the last several years to expand our trails network.â€? Much of those efforts have been made possible by THPRD’s

Colorectal Cancer

Make a Habit of Looking for the Positive

the Cancer You Can Prevent! By Rhonda Kay Leonard

D

id you know that your risk of developing colon cancer increases as you get older? According to the Center for Disease Control, “More than 90% of cases occur in people who are 50 years old or older.� The Oregon Health Authority is touting colon cancer as “the cancer you can prevent� in a campaign that went Statewide in 2011. They key to preventing colorectal cancer is, of course, screening and early detection. Because people are most likely to get screened if someone they know and trust encourages them, this campaign urges Oregonians who were already screened to talk about their experience, and encourage others to get screened too.

If you’ve been screened for colon cancer, join us in talking about this preventable disease. In conversations, consider sharing: ‡ Everyone over the age of 50 (45 for African Americans) should be screened for colorectal cancer even if they don’t have a family history or symptoms. ‡ Screening lets your doctor ÂżQG DQG UHPRYH SRO\SV before they turn cancerous, or catch cancer at an early stage when it’s highly treatable. ‡ Most insurance plans cover 100% of the cost of screening with no co-pays or deductibles. Even without insurance, there are low cost, reliable options. ‡ Talk to your doctor about the one that is right for you. Make and keep your appointment to be screened. ‡ Then, do what I’m doing: tell someone else. This story is sponsored by United Homecare Services. If you are interested in ďŹ nding out more or scheduling a no-obligation consultation, call 503-433-8079.

In

many motor vehicle collisions involving a youthful driver distraction played a key role in cause. Distractions due to cell phone use (talk or text) and the distraction caused by other young people in the car or manipulating the radio are just a few of the issues drivers face. In Oregon there are appropriate laws relative to each cause but they are clearly not universally followed even by older and more experienced drivers.

Parents should limit the number of passengers in their teen’s car both until the legal requirements are met and until the teen has displayed a level of driving maturity necessary to manage other young passengers. Emergency responders cannot stress enough the importance of leaving cell phones alone while driving. The parts of the human brain necessary to carry on a conversation via voice or text that necessary to navigate a car cannot be compromised. You need only watch reports from across the country to see how that type of distraction can end in tragedy. Young people left at home to care for themselves while mom and dad work need to be given the authority to make tough calls or decisions such as:

‡ Don’t open doors to strangers. ‡ Do not divulge that mom and/ or dad aren’t home. ‡ Keep adults appraised of when you are leaving the house, where you are going and when you plan to return. ‡ Take the most direct and visible route possible to your desired location. ‡ Don’t engage people in conversations while out and don’t fall IRU WKH ³&DQ \RX KHOS PH ¿QG my pet� trick. ‡ Report any suspicious people or situations to a trusted adult.

The new problem was, despite knowing she could get more for it on Craigslist, Paige did not want to talk (let alone negotiate) with strangers. And having people coming over to her house to see the car did not make her feel comfortable

and I completely understand. Selling a car to strangers is not easy and not for everyone and if you are one of these people, like Paige is, then taking the dealership offer could be the best choice for you. Fortunately for Paige, buying and selling cars is what I do so I offered to help. She brought me the Title, dropped off the keys and that very day, I got to work. I took photos of the vehicle inside and out, making sure it look as attractive as possible.

Selling a Car on Craigslist By Larry “The Car Guy“ Ferguson

Hello Beaverton Readers! hank you to everyone who wrote in recently. There were many subjects I could use for this month’s story but I decided to go with the situation local resident Paige Dumas.

Paige emailed me explaining she had purchased a new vehicle DW D ORFDO GHDOHUVKLS :KDW VKH bought and where she bought it is QRW LPSRUWDQW :KDW LV LPSRUWDQW was the trade in value they were offering for her 2007 Jaguar X Type. At $2500, she had a feeling this was not a fair amount. So, going with her gut, she declined to trade it in, saw my column in the Beaverton Resource Guide and decided to send me an email for advice. Did she do the right thing? Trading in your car when you buy a new one is easy and painless

but just understand that those who work for the dealership are professionals whose goal is to make as much money for the dealership as they can (and more for them means less for you). You pay for the convenience. The alternative is to sell your old car yourself, either to someone you know or listing it somewhere... like Craigslist. Now, back to the story.

Thinking of Buying or Selling Real Estate on Your Own? By Ken Reetz

I

f you’re buying or selling a home it might cross your mind to handle the process alone, without a Realtor. It’s been done EHIRUH DQG LW ZRUNV RXW ¿QH PRUH often than not. Having a professional to guide the process and manage the risk is preferred by most, but here are a few thoughts to help those who see it differently:

Sellers: First of all, be safe. Most SHRSOH ZKR LQWHQG WR GR \RX ¿QDQcial harm are really, really good at being nice. They look nice and talk nice, but nice doesn’t replace due diligence. Demand photo LGHQWL¿FDWLRQ DQG D VLJQDWXUH VLJQ in sheet before allowing anyone in your home. Preferably, never be alone with strangers. Be clear when making an appointment with someone that you expect to see a Pre-Approval letter from their lender, or Proof of Funds LI D FDVK EX\HU :K\ RSHQ \RXU home to people who cannot buy it? It’s a waste of time and a needOHVV ULVN WUXH DQG TXDOL¿HG %X\HUV already have this or they are not yet ready to buy. It’s that simple.

Buyers: First of all, be safe. There are a number of sophisticated real estate scams that have cleaned out

Make sure your offer to purchase allows these basic contingencies: ‡ Clear title according to the Preliminary Title Report ‡ Full review of all HOA documents, if applicable, with right to rescind offer if‌ ‡ Satisfactory Home Inspection. ‡ Realistic Closing and Possession dates. Negotiate with Seller and be sure the date will be within the Buyer’s Rate Lock. ‡ Lending contingency. ‡ Seller responsible for removing any and all tenants. Include any other conditions WKDW QHHG WR DFFRPPRGDWH VSHFL¿F

circumstances. Everything needs WR EH FOHDU VSHFL¿F DQG LQ ZULWLQJ – nothing verbal has standing. Space in this article does not allow an exhaustive list of due diligence items; most people have no idea whatsoever how much risk could be involved. Even someone who has bought and sold property a dozen times cannot recognize what they have not encountered before in that limited experience. Past success is not a guarantee for the future. On a positive note: there are some great Realtors out there who are willing to give folks an hour conversation without any obligation – sharing information about the proper forms to use, tips on writing clear and precise offers and contingencies. It’s not at the level of exclusive representation but it can help a great deal. ,I \RX KDYH WURXEOH ¿QGLQJ a Realtor in Beaverton who is willing to do that, just give me a call. It’s what I enjoy doing and I almost always end up with a referral sometime later, so it works out good for everyone.

And then, make the terms of your sale crystal clear. The price, of course, but more important are the conditions. Sellers have a right to verify the Buyer’s loan information and the source of down payment money. Both of those things matter and savvy Sellers will know why they matter. Sellers have the right to set the amount of Earnest Money required to accompany a viable offer. Sellers have many other rights, but they also have responsibilities.

Q:

Shouldn’t it be okay to just glance at a text message when driving?

A: Writing or reading a text message takes your eyes off the road for an average of 4.6 seconds. At 55mph, that’s like driving the he length of a football ďŹ eld BLINDFOLDED!!

Q:

If I change my mind half way through a lane change, can I go back to my original lane or do I need to complete the lane change then go back to my original lane? A: You must make (2) legal lane changes in order for it to pass muster with the law. That means proper signaling at the proper distances to make both moves. You can’t change your mind in the middle of a lane change.

Q:

How many parking tickets can a car get before it is towed?

A: Violations alone don’t necessarily cause a car to be towed. Being abandoned or blocking trafďŹ c or arresting the driver or some other isolated incident may cause the tow.

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?

ince the beginning of recorded history the word “generation� has divided people into classes of age. Although some are revered as wise and powerful such as generation X, millennials and post-millennials, or gen. Z, are in my opinion frowned upon by modern day society. They are deemed lazy and irresponsible. However, who’s to say that we can’t prove them wrong? I am 14 with aspirations. Just 14 and I already know the citizen I want to be and the place I want to have in this country. There are children and teenagers of generation Z that have a voice they want to bring to the table. Our voices act as a beacon of hope for our society and it’s essential for people to sit down and listen to our views and perspectives.

Photo by Peter Mora-Stevens

Since the beginning, generation Z has already made its place in the record books. So far, the teen birthrate is down 40%, there was a 38% drop in teens abusing drugs and alcohol and a 28% drop in teens not graduating high-school on time. Statistics are showing that our generation is more diverse, more accepting, and have a higher IQ allowing us to get into better colleges, allowing people to get higher paying jobs. An illustrious new society is

in the works and it looks as if it is better than ever before.

COMMUNITY Located on the eastern edge of the Tualatin Valley, the city of Beaverton is just minutes away from Portland and all of the attractions and amenities the city has to offer. Instead of ďŹ ghting the trafďŹ c and paying to park, explore the fun and exciting treasures in your own backyard. You’ll be amazed what you will discover this spring in the Tualatin Valley. Crisp, cool spring weather brings many opportunities for outdoor adventure. Zip over Brunswick Canyon at Pumpkin Ridge Zip Tours, a 2.5-hour zip tour. At Tree to Tree Adventure Park, master the aerial ropes course, y through trees in the zip-line park, or climb a tree in the Monkey Grove. With spring owers in bloom, this is the best time to cycle along the Tualatin Valley Scenic Bikeway. This 50-mile designated bike trail takes cyclists through rural Washington County, and incorporates the car-free Banks-Vernonia State Trail, one of the region’s most popular multi-use trails. A ride (or walk) along the Banks-Vernonia Trail is a great way to view the wonders of the Tualatin Valley. While grapevines have yet to bloom, new vintages of wines are starting to blossom. The Tualatin Valley has more than 35 wineries, each showcasing exquisite Pinot Noir and dozens of other varietals. Tasting rooms are welcoming, and best of all, no experience is required to enjoy the wines. On the second weekend of each April, Wine Trail Weekend, sponsored by

the North Willamette Vintners, showcases more than a dozen wineries with a weekend of wine tastings, pairings and live music and demonstrations. For more information about these attractions, as well as other things to see and do around Beaverton, visit tualatinvalley.org, or visit the ofďŹ cial Tualatin Valley Visitor Information Center, located in the lobby of the Beaverton Building at The Round, 12725 SW Millikan Way.

Fiji is the destination for you! Add adventures to your escape with snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, kayaking, white water rafting, hiking, horseback riding or simply relax in a palm tree held hammock. Castaway Island in Fiji, is celebrating 50 years of bringing the magic of Fiji to you! Only a 10 hour flight from Los Angeles, Fiji is made up of 333 distinct islands. The two biggest islands are Viti Levu, followed by Vanua Levu. Fiji is known as the ‘Soft Coral’ capital of the world – a living culture. With the open friendliness of the islands, it’s an amazing

vacation spot for families and family reunion groups. When your destination is Fiji, bring school supplies for the school children since these simple school necessities are limited and very expensive for the schools to purchase. On your way to or from Australia or New Zealand? Fiji makes a great stop over for a few days before heading back to the hustle and bustle of home. Accommodations are limitless. From all-inclusive resorts to simple thatched lodges and 3 bedroom accommodations for a family reunion, to amazing overwater bungalows for honeymooners and those that want an intimate destination wedding, the beaches are an ideal spot for a wedding as the sun sets. There is something for everyone. Though, keep in mind that plenty of accommodations do not have TV or Wi-Fi. Living aboard a

cruise or yacht as you travel from island to island is another great way to see the many islands or even stop and have lunch on an isolated island. Enjoy breathtaking scenery, delightful Fijian meals, and activities for everyone and best of all immersing yourself in the Fijian people and culture, who welcome you with open arms and a smile. All it takes is one visit and you’re hooked!

Welcome to Glastonbury, one of the most mysterious places in Europe! Glastonbury area in Somerset England has been inhabited for over 5,000 years. Here, neolithic people built miles of timber trackways over what was then watery marshes. Some say that this ancient water, long since drained to create Somerset’s picturesque landscape, gave Glastonbury its QDPH RI <QLV :LWULQ RU ³,VOH RI Glass.” Or perhaps, the name comes from the legendary Glass Castle of Gwynn, Celtic Lord of the Otherworld and King of the Fairies who lives within Glastonbury Tor? Glastonbury Tor is a high pyramidal hill, deeply marked with 26 – Beaverton Resource Guide | Volume 7–Issue 3 (March 2017)

Message from the Market Master

Curried Potato Salad

MARKET

RECIPE

It has been an incredibly cold and snowy start to Winter this year. The challenges to our farmers to grow in this weather were enormous! Still, we are amazed at the quality and variety of produce they were able to tease out of the frosty ground.

We rely on potatoes to get us through the cold winter months, when the spring crops haven’t quite yet arrived. Potatoes grow year-round, and they can be stored for months. And contrary to what many people think, potatoes are quite good for you! They are high in starch, but are a great source of vitamin C, B6, fiber, magnesium, and antioxidants.

Starting this season, the Beaverton Farmers Market will hold our Winter Market every Saturday in February, March and April which means that our customers will be able to enjoy locally grown produce and artisan foods for 10 months out of the year. We are looking forward to being there for you every week, starting February 4th.

While we wait for all the green spring crops to arrive, we like to make this bright and flavorful potato salad. It reminds us of summer, with it’s fresh and bright flavors. Pick up a few potatoes at the market, and give this fresh take on potato salad a try!

While students are hard at work putting it together, they received support from the pair who created the original musical score, composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. In a video recorded for Beaverton High School, Shaiman and Wittman said “Catch Me If You Canâ€? has strong roots in the PaciďŹ c Northwest, as it debuted in Seattle in 2009 before hitting Broadway. “We are honored that you chose the show to do for your prestigious spring musical and we’d like to add that we encourage your community to support and volunteer and to make this show a success,â€? Shaiman said in the video. The video, posted on a GoFundMe.com page to support the school’s production, also featured a cameo by Lin-Manuel Miranda, the Tony-winning creator of “Hamilton,â€? who jumped in to say, “Catch it if you can!â€? The school is hoping to raise

$5,000 for an elaborate set and costumes, as well as a professional choreographer. Alumni are expected to return to Beaverton High School to assist with the production.

Thank You, What a Surprise! COMMUNITY I received something in the mail the other day, and I barely recognized it. I had not seen one of these things FOREVER! I almost thought they only existed in museums. What I received, I actually have boxes of (2 boxes to be exact). What I received, in actuality, is ssoo simple, and such a powerful tool...yet it seems to be disappearing.

I GOT A THANK YOU CARD IN THE MAIL! An actual thank you card. A paper thank you card, that someone had to physically grab from a drawer, open, sign with an actual pen, stuff into an envelope, stick an actual stamp on it...and drop it in the mail. I bet it only took them a minute or two. Such a simple gesture. In many cases a bygone gesture. Yet it impacted me greatly! I smiled! It was from someone I had done business with...and they were

grateful for my business. They took time out of their busy day to send me a personalized thank you note. Heck, the card was not even customized to their business. No logo. No nothing...but I didn’t care. I FELT LOVED! What a smart thing for them to do. They got my attention! Then I got to thinking: When was the last time I sent out Actual Thank You Cards? If this one made me feel good, would mine make others feel the same? I have thank you cards, and mine even have my company logo on them. Cost me extra to do that! Why am I not using them? It’s not like they are valuable collecting dust. It’s not like they have collectible meaning & value like my Hot Wheels Collection from when I was a kid. Now in my defense, I think I am pretty good with E-Thank Yous sent via email and text to my customers. Fairly regularly. I’m busy and that is fast. However, they are not the same. They tend to blend in with all the other EClutter we receive on a daily basis. But an actual thank you card, with an actual hand written THANK YOU, and an actual signature, in an actual envelope, with an actual stamp. Now that is old school! And, it sticks in the mind...and it sends a special message. I cannot tell you how much equipment I have purchased from one company in particular for my business, with nary a THANKS FOR YOUR $$! I cannot tell you how many school/church auction

donations I have made, with very few THANK YOUS after the fact. Are they thankful? Probably. But not showing it, and perhaps not doing it uniquely is the same thing as not meaning it.

BOOK REVIEW

Beaverton Super Kids

by a journey through art. It’s the second of Sheila Deeth’s MathemaďŹ ction collection, and will soon be followed by a third novel, Subtraction. The three novels explore themes of guilt and forgiveness from the point of view of the community, the survivor, and the one who wasn’t there to help.

InďŹ nite Sum tells the story of one of those “one in four womenâ€? who are sexual abuse survivors. Sylvia was introduced in an earlier novel (Divide by Zero), but now she speaks for herself. An artist and mother, struggling to come to terms with why all her pictures come out red and black, she revisits the past and ďŹ nally learns the answer to “why she let it happen.â€? She learns as well that forgiving yourself is often the hardest thing to do. It’s also, sometimes, the only way out from an inďŹ nite sum of wounded memories. InďŹ nite Sum is a story of everyday life, scarred by all too common misdeeds, and redeemed

Sheila Deeth lives and writes in Beaverton. With the help of many friends, she runs a local writers’ group, the Writers’ Mill, which meets monthly at Cedar Mill library. Sheila enjoys writing, editing, book-formatting, reading and reviewing. She also dabbles in art, loves dogs, and frequents local coffee shops. She studied mathematics at Cambridge University, England, and she’s been writing stories since the day she learned to hold a pencil, hence MathemaďŹ ction.

InďŹ nite Sum and Divide by Zero are both available from Indigo Sea Press, Amazon and Barnes and Noble. For more information, visit www.sheiladeethbooks.com.
