The Beaverton Resource Guide (BRG) is a free monthly community paper for the city of Beaverton, Oregon. Cedar House Media published the first edition in April of 2011 with the help of the city and the Farmers Market. That first issue was 16 pages. Today, just over one year later, the paper is 32 pages and sponsored by a huge cross section of the city from shopping malls like Washington Square and Cedar Hills Crossing to public entities such as the police and fire departments, the Visitor’s Association (WCVA), the Senior Citizen’s Advisory Committee and the park district (THPRD) to name a few.

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, shop and work. With a focus on small or local businesses, we’d like to encourage our neighbors to first visit nearby businesses and give them a chance before moving on.

Absolutely. With our unique design, community news and loyal readership of residents who agree with our philosophy of “Shop Local - Give Local - Stay Local“, your ad will get seen by those who are your best customer prospects. We don’t print massive quantities and mail them out to uninterested parties. Our papers are located in convenient, local, high traffic locations as well as small businesses ready to be picked up by those wanting to learn about what’s local and that means YOU!

If you'd like a copy for yourself or want to pick up a few for your business, drop by our office or go to any of these participating locations: New Seasons Market, Dairy Queen, THPRD facilities or Starbucks. By location, try: - Farmers Market, City Park (red newsstands), library, Powell's Books, city hall; - Walgreens, 24 Hour Fitness, branch library, Big Al's, Ava Roasteria; RiteAid, Albertson's, Thriftway.

A Beaverton boy’s Star Wars-themed birthday party became a viral hit on the Internet, all thanks to a special visit from a certain Jedi.

Danny Kiebler’s parents decided to in-vite a few extra friends to the party, and they asked Portland’s Cloud City Garri-son, the local Star Wars fan club where set-worthy costumes are mandatory at all events, to help spring the surprise.

One special guest stood out in a video of the surprise that was posted to YouTube: Danny’s father, Col. Rob Kiebler.

“This was a small token of our respect for him,” said Steve Squire, of the Cloud City Garrison. “We get dismissed as... nerds in costumes a lot, but we get to do a lot of positive things for the community.”

Kiebler had been serving the last 14 months in Afghanistan with the U.S. Air

saber after returning to Beaverton.Dressed as a Jedi and accompanied

by six “Star Wars” characters, Kiebler

strolled into a Portland restaurant and re-vealed his true identity, much to the sur-prise of Danny, who hugged his father.

“When he latched onto his dad, we didn’t know if he was ever going to let go,” Squire said.

It was a birthday party with enough “force” to last through Kiebler’s next de-ployment in Belgium.

The video posted to YouTube was viewed more than 450,000 times.

The Cloud City Garrison raises thou-sands of dollars for charity and gives spe-cial moments - like Kiebler’s homecom-ing - a little movie magic.

A Jedi surprise from dad for boy’s fifth birthday

Danny Kiebler’s fifth birthday was a memorable one. His father, Col. Rob Kiebler, surprised him after returning home from 14 months in Afghanistan.

By FOX 12 Staff

I t’s been 100 years since Ralph and Belle Ainsworth Jenkins purchased,

for $7,000, a 68-acre site on the northwest slope of Aloha’s Cooper Mountain. The Jenkins Estate, owned and operated by the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District the past 37 years, provides visitors a glimpse of the early 20th century genteel lifestyle. “By restoring and maintaining the Estate and its buildings, THPRD has preserved a small piece of a bygone era,” said Lynda Myers, Jenkins Estate supervisor.

“Visitors always mention the tranquility and beauty of the Estate. Walking the grounds, a person can feel miles away from civilization and the cares of everyday life.”With manicured gardens and a collection of historic buildings – including a seven-bedroom Main House the Jenkinses built to emulate a royal English hunting lodge – Jenkins Estate today looks much the way it did when Belle Ainsworth Jenkins (the youngest daughter of steamboat magnate J.C. Ainsworth) hosted lavish galas on the property. After the death of Belle Jenkins in 1963, the Franklin Service Corporation acquired the Estate. The company’s plans to build a subdivision were thwarted by an inability to get water and sewer services to the property.

In 1975, THPRD purchased the site for $525,000. Then came the dif cult task of restoring deteriorating grounds and buildings, which had been mostly neglected since Mrs. Jenkins’ passing. The Park District rallied naturalists, architects, volunteers and other advocates for the restoration and formed an advisory committee to oversee the process. A history of the district penned by founder Elsie Stuhr singles out upwards of 30 people and nearly a dozen clubs and societies that were instrumental in the effort.Today, the site hosts more than 35,000 people annually for weddings, business meetings, and community events. Another

50,000-plus stroll the grounds and appreciate that this treasured part of our past still exists, 100 years later.

Among the Jenkins Estate’s many attractions is its beautiful landscaping, which includes lush gardens, wild ower meadows and water features, all maintained by THPRD staff. This makes the Estate one of the premier wedding sites in the Portland area.

In these times of political polar-ization, super PACS and media

blitz leading up to the Presiden-tial election in November, HART Theatre, Hillsboro’s leading com-munity theatre, presents an anti-dote to the election madness with its presentation of “Gracie for President” written and directed by local playwright, Norma Hill.

In 1940, Gracie Allen, much loved and remembered for her work with her husband, George Burns in radio and television, ran for president against Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Wendell Wilkie.

Gracie’s party was the Sur-prise Party. Her mascot was the kangaroo and her motto was “it’s

The Beaverton Civic Theatre’s fall musical, “Camelot” book

and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe, opens Friday Sept. 28. The old legend comes to life as King Arthur ush-ers in the age of chivalry with the Knights of the Round Table. Unfortunately, his lofty ideals are challenged when his Queen, Guenevere, falls in love with Sir Lancelot.

Beaverton resident, Dennis Britten, director of "Camelot" gives back to his community through directing. " After 55 years in professional theatre, I came home to Oregon to care for my aging parents and was delighted

theatre company, the Beaverton Civic Theatre. I felt after seeing their production of The Fantastiks that it was time for me to give back some of what I had learned in theater to the community that had nurtured my early years."

Supported by the Beaverton Arts Foundation, “Camelot” will run weekends beginning Sept. 28 through Oct. 14 in the Beaverton City Library Auditorium (12375

in the bag.” She and George Burns toured the country by train, made political speeches, and performed their radio show live from each town and city they visited. Even though she withdrew her candid-acy before the actual election, she still received 42,000 votes.

Gracie and George are back, this time at HART Theatre, and just in time for the presidential elections. In the tradition of the old Burns & Allen TV show, George and Gracie take the audience on

poke at politics. Gracie's illogical logic will have everyone chan-ging their ballots. So if you have had enough of watching escalating political ads on television, come to Hillsboro and enjoy a nostalgic break. All political persuasions will be welcome.

What a great place for an even-ing of entertainment! Last

from the heat wave so I treated my son and myself to a movie at the Valley Cinema Pub. I strongly be-lieve that this place is one of the undiscovered jewels of Beaverton. In additon to the movie, we enjoyed pizza, sodas, and a large popcorn...all for under $25. Now that's what I call a great date night!

I started a little potted herb garden on our balcony this year and it has been most conveni-ent for my cooking experiments/adventures. I have many herbs that are thriving this

summer but Basil has got to be my favorite: Sweet Basil, Greek Basil and Thai Holy Basil.While watering my favorite herbs a few days ago, I suddenly thought 'PESTO'. I didn't

have any pine nuts in my pantry but I did have a jar of Marcona Almonds that I've been dying to use up so I went ahead and made the Pesto using the almonds and a blend of the Sweet Basil and Greek Basil. Just experimenting. It turned out great!

Sandwich Ingredients2 slices Sourdough Bread

2-3 Tbsp. of homemade Pesto (recipe below)

2 slices of cheese (I used Havarti)

4 slices of Turkey

olive oil (or butter if you prefer)

Directions (Sandwich)

1. Spread about 1 Tbsp. of homemade Pesto to each slice of bread.

2. Add 1 slice of cheese and 2 slices of turkey to each slice of bread, . Press together gently.

3. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a frying pan over med. low heat. Add the sandwich to the oil and cook until bread is golden brown. Press down on the sandwich lightly, then flip the sandwich over and cook until second side is golden brown.

Restaurant Spotlight:

From a bountiful brunch to delightful dinners, Café Mur-

rayhill offers a fantastic dining experience. In fact, many consider it one of Beaverton’s “best-kept dining secrets.” This locally owned and operated café features a charming lake view and a sunny patio ideal for outdoor summer dining.

Whatever the season, the chefs work with Oregon farms to bring fresh, local foods to the menu. Café Murrayhill serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, keeping the

Beaverton Farmers Market 1988 – 2012

at the Market

Hermiston Melon Co, Booth 186

The Hermiston Melon Com-pany is a family-run business

that is owned and operated by Bob and Rachelle Walchli. They take pride in what they grow, and offer unconditional dedication to their customers. Every Saturday from mid-July through September, they travel 3½ hours from Hermiston, Oregon to provide their ripe water-melons and cantaloupes to the de-voted enthusiasts at the Beaverton and Hillsboro Farmer’s Markets! We asked the question that every-one wants to know. How do you pick the perfect melon:

We usually like to see sugar

Hours:

sap coming out of the cut end of the watermelon. Rule of thumb: the darker the sugar sap, the sweeter the melon. Also, the larger the belly (white, creamy spot on the bottom of the melon) the riper the melon, the longer it has been on the vine.

If a melon passes those tests the

test is the sound of the melon. You have to hold the melon to make the appropriate determination. If you pat it and it has a vibration all the way through the melon and you will be able to feel it vibrate to the hand that is holding the melon.

This means the it is a solid melon and that the inside is not cracked. Depending on the pitch you can tell how ripe or under-ripe the melon is.

Watermelons and health* Watermelons are sweet and de-

licious, but eating them has health

Watermelons are 92% water; part of the reason they're so re-freshing on hot days.They are an excellent source of vitamins A and C.Watermelons get their red color from lycopene, an anti-oxidant that helps protect cells

from damage. There's more lycopene in watermelons than fresh tomatoes.Watermelons contain amino acids that help maintain blood

There are also a lot of things watermelons don't have: glu-ten, cholesterol -- and virtually no fat or sodium.

We are lucky here at the Beaverton Farmers Market. We have a long list of growers and producers who have been with us for

years, providing our customers with consistently delicious products. Traditional German breads and slurpy sweet Hermiston melons are two market favorites. On your next trip to the market, be sure to get to know Fressan Artisan Bakery and the Hermiston Melon Co. See you at the market!

Fressen Artisan Bakery has made authentic German breads

and pastries by hand since 2003. Owner Edgar Loesch was classic-ally trained as a baker in his native Germany, and he uses traditional recipes and methods in the hand-crafted breads he produces. He began the company when he had been living in the United States for just three years. After a stint work-ing in bakeries and restaurants in California, he decided that Port-

At Unger Farms, we send over 80% of what we grow to farm-

ers markets, local stores, numerous roadside stands and school lunch programs. Our list of crops now includes blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, table grapes and what we’re known best for strawberries. Selling our produce to local mar-kets is a great way to share what we do with our community.

market vendors. When asked why he enjoys participating in the BFM each season, Loesch said, “I really appreciate the commitment of the managers, for their work they’ve put in for so many years to create a market that is very reminiscent of markets in Europe; the diversity of the vendors and the loyalty of the customers.” We also appreciate the hard work that Edgar put into building his business so that our market shoppers can enjoy a slice of German tradition—in the form of authentic, artisan breads—at the market each week.

The varieties we grow are

hardiness. We are proud to be a sustainable farm which means to us that our land will be healthy and well taken care of for future gener-ations. We cover crops to keep soil in its place, mulch for weed con-trol, integrate pest management for pest and disease control, use drip irrigation for water conservation as well as soil erosion.

How our produce is picked, packed and cooled are just as important to us as how they are grown. Our goal is to ensure our customers a perfectly picked berry to take home to their families. They say farming is a way of life. To choose farming as a profession is to choose a way of life. We love sharing what we do.

How do places get their names? Their origins are many and

diverse. They may come from descriptions, Native Americans, early settlers, geographical fea-tures, or historical events. Pioneers often gave familiar names to their new environment, as well.

For Butteville Academy’s living history program, Ellen Crauthers, a former homeschool teacher, portrays a pioneer teacher called “Miss Elliott”. Students are introduced to the etiquette of the 1863 school day, learn about the history of our flag, and work on arithmetic problems from a text actually used during the 1860’s. Ellen is just finishing her fifth year as the schoolmarm.

Like the other living history interpreters dotting the Cham-poeg museums, she is enthusi-astic about showing and telling history in a way that makes our pioneer history come to life.

For our September meet-ing, Ellen will recreate a pion-eer class, as “Miss Elliott” in period clothing, similar to the one portrayed at the Butteville Academy. Attendees will be “students” for our classroom.

Beaverton Police: September Calendar

September is a pretty active month for both the department

and community at large.

day of school in Beaverton. Activ-ity around the schools has been pretty sparse since early June and now it’s time to ramp up our safety considerations relevant to bus and pedestrian safety. Beaverton Po-lice offer the following:

High School classes begin at 7:45A. You should expect increased foot, bike and vehicle traffic any time after 7:00A in affected areas.

School zones are posted at 20 mph when children are present. Many of the area schools have blinking yel-

low lights to remind you and post the hours of enforcement.

Buses have been a fairly rare sight over the last three months. Watch for them, anticipate the lights, and stop when legal and appropriate.

For parents whose kids walk to school, escort them for the first few days/weeks until you and they are comfortable. Take some time to play the “What if” game.We all feel that frustration

when our typical route to work is impacted by school being in ses-sion. Do yourself a favor and leave early to avoid that increased blood pressure. You may even want to consider an alternate route in the morning and late afternoon.

Any questions or concerns that are not of an emergency nature can

Schools reopen in September and Tualatin Valley Fire &

Rescue is reminding motorists to be mindful in and around school zones. This is the time for drivers to reduce their speed and be on guard while driving through neigh-borhoods and near schools. Motor-ists should expect the unexpected – children running across the street to catch a bus, skateboarding sud-denly out of a driveway, or riding

the speed limit of 20 mph helps ensure you have time to react and stop if needed.

boards – ensure they wear a hel-met. If your child walks to school

about how their police department works. Although this class is full, interested persons should call Of-

to inquire about future classes.The parade and related festiv-

ities on September 8th will keep regular and volunteer forces hop-ping. Consult the newspaper and city website for route information and closures.

Our second car seat clinic for the month of September will be on the 22nd at the rear of City Hall

Technicians will be on duty from 9:00am-12:30pm.

– remind them to walk on the

ways before crossing the street, and make eye contact with drivers be-fore crossing the street.

Teenage driversStudents who drive to school

are also at risk. Annually, there are over 400 students killed in a car crash that involved a teenage driver. Talk to your student driver about driving the speed limit and limiting distractions like loud mu-sic, cell phones, eating, and friends.

Riding the BusAccording to the National

-tration, 23 million students ride a bus each year. The greatest risk is not riding the bus, but approaching

or leaving the bus. Parents should talk with their children about arriv-ing at the bus stop early and staying on the curb until the bus stops and the driver says it is okay to board. Children also need to know that when they are exiting, they need to cross in front of the bus and make eye contact with the driver. If they drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver; do not pick it up be-cause the driver may not see them.

Flashing yellow lights on a school bus means the bus is pre-paring to stop….and motorists should prepare to stop as well. All 50 states have a law making it il-legal to pass a school bus with its

opposite lanes on an undivided highway) must stop.

With so many choices for “Speeder” Hous-

ing in the Beaverton area, I thought I’d put together a guide to help you navigate which housing option might be right for you or your loved one.

Retirement Communities:Any housing arrangement

designed exclusively for seniors, generally those aged 55 or 65 and over. Housing varies widely, from apart-ment-style living to freest-anding homes. You may also hear the terms independent living, retirement home, senior housing, and senior apartments.

Assisted Living Facilities:In general, assisted living

is a housing option for those who need help with some activities of daily living, including minor help with medications. Some assisted living facilities provide apartment-style living with scaled-down kitchens, while others provide single or shared rooms. You may also hear the terms residential care and ALF.

I recently had the chance to sit down with Bev Ecker and Shawn Mitchell, the Executive Director of Catalyst Partnerships, to hear their story and how we, as a community, can stand up and play a part in im-proving our community for residents in need. Their goal is to “Inspire People, Build Hope and Nurture Com-munity”.

What began as one neighbor helping out another neighbor in September of 2007 has now turned into some-thing that now offers so much hope , love and inspiration to Beaver-

ton residents in need. It started with Shawn’s neighbor needing

Both Bev and Shawn emphas-ized how important the volunteers were to making all things possible – from the hundreds of volun-teers that donated their time and the supportive organizations that donated supplies such as Home Depot, Habitat for Humanity Restore, and Love INC to name a few .

If you are interested in providing assistance with Safe

Haven, they are looking for vo-lunteers for lawn care, exterior

Thank you Bev, Shawn and the team at Catalyst Partnerships for everything you do to make our Beaverton community a better place to live.

petition never hurt anyone; how-ever, this combined with my eld-est’s long-held obsession over the Guinness Book of Records makes for interesting conversation. Last

week I overheard my 10 and 8 yr-old discussing the woman who holds the “Most Plastic Surgeries” record (something my girls know nauseates me more than a tad), and evalu-ating how many body parts

should actually be eli-gible for re-dos or com-plete elimination. “Well,

you could always pop out your eyeball,” the 10 yr-old

explains. “Why would any-one want to remove an eye-ball?” I ask incredulously. She sighs in exasperation. “In case they want to be-come a pirate???” Obvi-ously.

But all of this r e c o r d - h o l d i n g , Olympic-effort atti-tude was captured most eloquently

when my girls were forced to
