Elizabeth Steiner Hayward files to run again for SenateFamily physician Elizabeth Steiner Hayward (D-Portland) officially filed to seek re-election to represent District 17 in the Oregon Senate, which includes parts of Beaverton, Cedar Hills, Cedar Mill, Bethany, Rock Creek and NW Portland. Sen. Steiner Hayward said, “I’m running for re-election to continue my efforts in making Oregon the healthiest state in the nation, and I’m focused on increasing funding for education and creating an economy that helps all Oregonians succeed.” Last session, Senator Steiner Hayward led the coalition to pass a new law that increases the age of tobacco sales to 21, and she brokered a bipartisan agreement to ensure that Oregonians keep their access to health care. She also supported the new Reproductive Health Equity law, the Cover All Kids Act, as well as the landmark Transportation Package that will lead to substantial investments to improve Oregon’s infrastructure. “I’m very proud of the work we achieved this year, especially because Oregon is moving forward while the federal government is in disarray,” said Sen. Steiner Hayward. “I want to continue to serve my constituents by giving them an effective voice at the State Capitol to help make Oregon a place we all want to live, work, raise families, and treasure for years to come.” In her tenure as State Senator for District 17, she's helped to pass landmark legislation including increasing vaccination rates statewide, strengthening the Indoor Clean Air Act, and creating Oregon's Coordinated Care Organizations. She was one of the first legislators to openly support Measure 91--the statewide ballot measure to legalize recreational cannabis, and chief-sponsored automatic voter registration in 2015. Senator Steiner Hayward will visit CPO 1 at their December 12 meeting, to give us an update on the 2017 session. Beaverton gets residential compostingBeaverton residents who receive yard debris collection service will soon have a new disposal option for their home’s food waste—composting. Yard debris roll carts will now be known as “composting carts” and residents can include food, such as fruits, vegetables, bread, dairy, meat, bones, and other food waste. For a full listing of acceptable food-waste items to include, visit www.BeavertonOregon.gov/composts The program is designed to help reduce the amount of food waste headed to landfills. Food is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, and the average Beaverton resident produces about 225 pounds of food waste each year. Washington County residents still don’t have this option. Contact your County Commissioner if you’d like it to be extended to our urban areas. Forum to discuss PCC bond voteTues., Oct. 24, 5:30-7:30 pm, Event Center, Building 9, Rock Creek Campus, 17705 NW Springville Rd. Portland Community College Rock Creek Campus neighbors are invited to attend the open forum, featuring PCC District President Mark Mitsui who will answer questions about the PCC bond renewal that will appear on the Nov. 7 ballot. Free parking is available in the event lot, just west of Building 9. If passed, the bond renewal will improve workforce training programs, expand the health professions and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) programs and extend the life of PCC facilities. The measure will not increase taxes but will continue at its current level of 40 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value for 16 years. Some community members are urging you to not support the PCC Bond on the upcoming November 7th ballot because no funding from this bond will be used to improve safety around the PCC Rock Creek campus. Since the Rock Creek Campus opened in 1967, area traffic has significantly increased. Although PCC has been a major contributor to this traffic increase, they have done little to improve traffic congestion and safety surrounding their campus. Community advocates and county leaders have met with PCC Board members and staff requesting more cooperation from PCC. PCC continues to claim that area traffic is due to residential expansion in the area and is not due to the expansion of the Rock Creek Campus. PCC feels that their bond needs to address the needs of the entire PCC district, whereas, traffic congestion and safety issues surrounding their Rock Creek campus are best left to Washington County taxpayers to resolve.

Virtue of the month: CaringCaring is giving tender attention to the people and things that matter to us. Caring is a gift from the heart. “One who cares listens” - Paul Tellich. I practice caring: I take interest in others and listen deeply. I look for ways to be considerate and helpful. I am gentle and loving with anyone and anything that is placed in my care. I give excellent attention to whatever I do. I am passionate about my beliefs. I take good care of myself. I am thankful for the gift of Caring. It helps me to express my love.

Marching Band ClassicSat., Oct. 14, Hillsboro Stadium, 4450 NE Century Blvd, Hillsboro. The annual Sunset Marching Band Classic attracts over 5,000 people each year. In its 29th year, this premier marching band competition is hosted by the Sunset Apollo Marching Band and Auxiliary (SAMBA) volunteer organization. Accredited by the Northwest Association for Performing Arts (NWAPA), this year the Sunset Marching Band Classic will be hosting a NWAPA Competition, attended by many bands and their enthusiastic supporters from throughout the Pacific Northwest. Under the direction of Greg Hall, Sunset enjoys one of the premier band programs in the Pacific Northwest. Students are offered a wide variety of musical alternatives, including marching band, color guard, jazz band, funk band and symphonic band. We strive to keep our programs accessible to all interested students, regardless of their ability to pay. The Sunset Classic is the primary event to raise money supporting all band programs at Sunset High School. This includes marching band, color guard, jazz band, funk band, winter percussion and winter guard. It takes nearly $100,000 a year to support the Sunset High School band and color guard programs. The school district cannot fund these activities. Without community support, these opportunities for participation and leadership would disappear.

County awarded TGM grantWashington County will be developing strategic solutions for first/last mile transit connections, thanks to a Transportation and Growth Management (TGM) Program grant. Washington County was one of 12 Oregon communities awarded TGM grants to fund transportation and land use planning projects. The County's grant will allow Department of Land Use & Transportation staff to study ways to reduce the real or perceived distance and time it takes people to travel to and from transit stops (first/last mile). The study will result in strategies that are coordinated, flexible and responsive to community and site challenges including: Infrastructure improvements to provide safer, faster and more comfortable access to transit; ways to better integrate mobile technology; and support for electric cars and autonomous vehicles. "This study will identify ways Washington County can improve access to transit, which is a vital part of our transportation network," said Andrew Singelakis, director, Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation. "Improving access to transit improves the community's access to jobs, health care, shopping, recreation and more. It is critical to maintaining a vibrant, local economy." TGM received 39 grant applications totaling $5.9 million. Recipients will work with staff to develop each project, including final award amounts based on the scope of each grant. Awards are expected to range from $100,000 to $250,000. TGM grants are funded through a partnership between the Department of Land Conservation and Development and ODOT.
