BRG History

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.

BRG Goals

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.

BRG Advertising

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!

“Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.”

KJ “Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.”

KJ “I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened.”

KJ “Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company.”

KJ “I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”

KJ “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”

KJ Get a bicycle. You will not regret it, if you live.

KJ “Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”

KJ “Life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile. Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

Discover.”

Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author and humorist. He wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the latter often called “the Great American Novel.”

Automotive Q&A:

By Larry Ferguson

With the Beaverton Car Guy

Q:

I left my dome light on overnight and I was surprised & relieved that my vehicle started.

If my battery is fully charged, how many hours could have passed for me vehicle to start?

A: Different vehicles have different amounts of interior lighting, so in most cases on a newer vehicle, or a vehicle with a new or recent battery, the interior lights would easily stay on, as well as allow the vehicle to start after a 12 hour period. If it were the headlights, they draw a much greater amount of power so the time is greatly reduced. I think that 6 hours would be the maximum amount of time.

Q:

Last February we had a big snow storm, I had to use my tire chains, however my neighbor mentioned that his snow tires worked just as well if not better. Is this true?

A: It is well known that snow tires are far better in the snow & ice than highway tires, however getting going in slick driving conditions is certainly a plus, stopping is quite another story.

The addition of chains when there is snow or ice, provides much better traction, not only for getting the vehicle going, but it will help the vehicle to stop as well. Most accidents during slick driving conditions occur, due to inability to stop your vehicle.

Q:

My mother is disabled and does not drive.

There are times that I go to the store for her while she stays home. Because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shopping for her, can I use her permit to park in a disabled space?

A: (No) Oregon Revised Statute 811.625, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A person commits the offense of unlawful use of a disabled persons parking permit if the person is not a person with a disability and is not transporting the holder of a disabled person parking permit to or from the parking location; and uses a disabled person parking permit.â&#x20AC;?

Q:

I have noticed that more and more cars are equipped with these super bright white headlights, sometimes in different colors. It sure makes driving more difďŹ cult when the on-coming vehicles use these lights. Are these headlights legal?

A: Although there is a section in the Oregon statute regarding headlight speciďŹ cations (ORS 816.050), Oregon has adopted the Federal Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deďŹ nition which does indeed allow for many of these kinds of headlights. Use of high beams or having misaligned lights that would shine into oncoming trafďŹ c is enforceable under ORS811.520 and/ or ORS816.300.

Q:

I heard that jaywalking is only an offence if the nearest cross streets have signals like in a commercial district. But can one technically get a jaywalking ticket for walking across a residential street in a quiet neighborhood?

A. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible. Part of ORS 814.040 (Failure to yield to vehicle) says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pedestrian Fails to yield the right of way to a vehicle upon a roadway when the pedestrian is crossing the roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersectionâ&#x20AC;?. Beaverton code 6.02.510 Pedestrian must use available crosswalk says â&#x20AC;&#x153; No pedestrian shall cross a roadway outside of a marked crosswalk if within 150 feet of a marked crosswalkâ&#x20AC;?.

The C Th Care & Feeding of Your Home How to Earthquake Proof Your House

G

rowing up in Portland, I remember hearing about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;big oneâ&#x20AC;? that scientists were cerWDLQ ZRXOG VWULNH VRPH GD\ :LWK each major earthquake that occurs somewhere else in the world, we are reminded that we are sitting on D VLJQLÂżFDQW IDXOW OLQH ,W MXVW PDNHV sense then that it is not a matter of â&#x20AC;&#x153;ifâ&#x20AC;?, but a matter of â&#x20AC;&#x153;whenâ&#x20AC;? it will strike here.

2QH RI WKH UHDVRQV +DLWL VXIIHUHG VXFK KRUULÂżF GDPDJH D IHZ years ago is that they have virtually no building codes. Construction technique in that situation is left WR WKH LQGLYLGXDO :KLOH ZHÂśYH had building codes in place since WKH HDUO\ ÂśV VHLVPLF FRQVLGHUDWLRQV ZHUHQÂśW FRGLÂżHG XQWLO WKH ÂśV 7KLV PHDQV ROGHU KRPHV LQ general, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t withstand an earthquake as well as newer ones.

And, just so thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no misunderstanding, seismic building codes are not designed to build earthquake proof structures, rather they help us build earthquake resistant structures. The intent is to build something that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t collapse on the occupants and will allow them to escape safely.

For the most part, old fashioned building techniques simply relied on gravity to hold a house on its foundation, so the addition of anchor bolts through the sill plate into the concrete makes good sense.

But, that only keeps the house from sliding off the foundation.

Once the house is anchored in place, shear wall hold-down anchors should be attached at each corner. This will keep the house from being tipped over like an old RXWKRXVH RQ +DOORZHHQ QLJKW All post and beam construction under the house should be tied together to keep the posts from coming off their piers and to prevent the beams from sliding off the

posts. Gravity is great so long as all forces are straight down. But when the earth begins to pitch and roll and twist and heave, all bets are off for any parts of the house that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tied together.

Now, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go back into the house and see what we should do in there to make things safer. If your water heater isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t strapped to a nearby wall, it should be. In a major earthquake, this container PD\ KROG JDOORQV RI WKH PRVW precious commodity you will ever RZQ Âą ZDWHU +DYLQJ LW WLS RYHU DQG spill out could be the difference between life and death. Of course, KDYLQJ D ÂżYH KXQGUHG SRXQG WDQN full of water tip over can also cause a lot of serious damage, too. +RZ DERXW \RXU ERRN FDVHV" Are they all attached to the wall, so they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tip over and crush someone?

Outside your home, do you have an earthquake wrench strapped to your gas meter, so you can shut the gas off at the source in the event the gas line gets broken? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re OHVV WKDQ GROODUV DQG DUH DYDLOable on line or at many plumbing supply and hardware stores.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real quick primer on earthquake protection for your home.

Introducing Kaya Patton and her visit with Vice President, Joe Biden pring Break is an exciting time for any high school student.

Some of the most important women in the United States were in attendance, including Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sontemayor and, of course, Dr. Jill Biden.

Pattenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother helped work for Susan Bonamiciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign and was invited to accompany her to the dinner, an invitation she and her daughter excitedly accepted.

The dinner was not the traditional sit-down meal that most were anticipating. They served appetizers such as crab puffs and quarter sized ice cream sandwiches, which were to die for, according to Patten.

Though it was not what Patten had envisioned, she was still not disappointed at all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was amazing. The 9LFH 3UHVLGHQW LV UHDOO\ IULHQGO\ VR it was relaxed, but there was a buzz of intellect which was really fun.â&#x20AC;?

Musings of a Beaverton Teen

Right is Wrong: How our school system does not help everyone

+

ave you ever felt like your teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lessons donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense to you? Are you more of a hands-on, visual learner? Some of us teens are right-brained oriented, but the school system is designed almost exclusively for the left-brain.

http://en.sommer-sommer.com/ braintest/

The Impact on Schoolwork And our society doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t honor that. It seems like to me that the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taught to think is that the left-brain is the only worthwhile brain. In school, the lessons are taught in a very left-brain heavy Which are You? style, with lectures and very little So what am I talking about?

DUW DQG FUHDWLYLW\ RXWVLGH RI VSHFLÂżSimply put, the right brain is in cally art-oriented classes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen charge of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;overall pictureâ&#x20AC;? in so many of my peers become frusyour mind, as well as creativity, music, art, and emotion. The left each. No matter which brain is trated and hateful towards school brain is in charge of reasoning, more of your style, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear that because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never found a way numbers and words, analysis, and SHRSOH GHÂżQLWHO\ KDYH UHDOO\ GLI- to fully understand or connect to linear/straight-forward thinking. ferent ways of thinking and under- the work. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem good at all. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so many times 0RVW SHRSOH OHDQ WR RQH RI WKH standing the world. +HUH LV D OLQN IRU D FRRO TXL] WR when one of my classmates asked sides, and a few people have an HTXDO DPRXQW RI LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFH IURP discover the type of brain you are: for my help during school and I Shop Local â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Give Local â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stay Localâ&#x20AC;Ś this is how we build a better Beaverton.

FRXOG QRW ÂżJXUH RXW KRZ WR H[SODLQ my thinking to them. People so obviously have different ways to learn, yet weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all placed in the same styles of learning. , WKLQN ZH GHÂżQDWHO\ QHHG PRUH variety in the styles of schoolwork to make sure that all doors are open for every brain-type. Perhaps more creative, hands-on activity in the classes that usually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that sort of thing, like in math or science. There needs to be an equal amount of logical, black-and-white lessons and creative, colorful classes, and that is not the case now. I feel like there would be a better appreciation of schoolwork and learning if we have variety and newness in every lessons.

Overall, teens shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disadvantaged if they have a different style of learning. The ability to solve equations and other leftbrained activity is very important, but so is the creation of artwork and originality in ideas and styles of the right-brain. If you have either brain, you should be celebrated for being an individual and given equal opportunity.

BEAVERTON CIVIC THEATRE

Synopsis: Bernard Pomerance’s The Elephant Man poses many questions that remain relevant today. The most obvious revolve around the eponymous Joseph Merrick. We are asked to consider the true measure of a man. Merrick’s condition sets him apart from the rest of the world but the pursuit of normalcy is a capricious quest when no one can really decide what normalcy is. He was put up in comfortable lodgings and supposedly made friends with a great many important people.

He became something of a celebrity in his own right. Yet were these people really his friends or had they simply come to gawk as others had done during the sideshow? The intrinsic brutality of society is a recurring image in the piece.

The character of Frederick Treves presents other questions.

The play begins and ends with Treves and it is his crisis of conscience that the audience must experience. Are the rules set out “for our own good” really so good after all? As Merrick’s condition deteriorates, we see Treves’s certainties about goodness, faith, and propriety do the same. The audience must feel the same heartache as Treves as he comes to realize that all he has held to be true and righteous is in reality false and hollow. The Elephant Man is a play about questions and questioning and it leaves it up to the audience to seek the answers for themselves.
