READER COMMENT: I continue to enjoy the Traffic Q&A section of the BRG. It was an interesting discussion about the speed limit and how it's decided. I find the community vision for Beaverton a very important topic. "What do you want Beaverton to look like in 10 years"? Thank you for your great work and a wonderful issue.

READER COMMENT: This month I read the Beaverton Resource Guide online, though an issue of the guide was also delivered to my house. I liked several articles in the Beaverton Resource Guide of May 2022. "Finding the right senior living community" on page 25 [by Prestige Care, Inc. & Prestige Senior Living, LLC ] was very interesting and informative. Thank you.

READER COMMENT: I picked up the paper inside the main Beaverton library. My favorite story was actually three stories, all related to mental or physical health. They were “Stress and the scale,” “Why you may not get enough Vitamin D,” and “Slow down to speed up.” I was also very touched by “Another baby arrives at the Oregon Zoo.” I always enjoy the animal stories, and hope every animal waiting to be adopted gets a loving home.

As usual, I enjoyed reading the articles in the paper this month. Although I am not necessarily interested in every topic in the paper, the fact they are all fairly short makes me at least skim through almost all of them. I am often pleasantly surprised afterwards at how interesting and informative they actually were, and how I am now more interested in those topics!

READER COMMENT: Favorite article: On page 20 about Fire Camp for girls [by Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue]. One of our favorite TV programs is Chicago Fire. Part of that program has to do with training girls firefighting to encourage them to become firefighters; it's called "Girls on Fire." So, I related the article to that and like that it's a similar thing.

I also liked that some of the ads were posted on "cork" bulletin boards.

READER COMMENT: We got the paper at the McDonalds on Beaverton Hillsdale. Favorite stories included the piece, for me, on the Mayors update and where to find the State of The City address, the information on the Bubble Tea event, how fun. Unfortunately we are booked that day. I always love the Directory to see what I am missing out on. I wish I had seen the piece on April is Stress Awareness month as would have loved to do the loop walk. Incentizes me pick up the paper earlier in the month!! I will however stop into the Chamber and pick up a walking map!

I saved the article on Is Your Back Killing You as seems always someone I know with back issues. Same for The Importance of Dental care- I’m often reminding my adult kids about this 
I enjoy all the articles on Health and Wellness as being 72, I want to be the best I can be ! Enjoyed the tips for a Heart Healthy Life Style also and the exercise to strengthen senior brains.

Grandboys loved the story on the Bontebok survival at the Zoo.
I had my freshman grandson read the article on the Soul Box Project. We are all excited about the Beaverton Library City Park grand opening. Thanks for the information. I would not have known without your paper! And finally as soon as the rain stops we plan to check out some of the Wildflower Tours!

So many good articles and information this month. Thank you!

READER COMMENT: Dear editor, I picked up the paper at Fred Meyer on Walker road. I like the article about March mulching, hidden environmental cost to electric vehicles, and reading about all the local restaurants. I also like seeing the city park fountain grand opening advertisement. I like seeing all the things we can do in Beaverton. I like coupons and kid related things. Thanks!

My favorite story was "When in Doubt...Go to the Library!" I always enjoy seeing what classes or options are offered across Washington County. My suggestion on what I'd like see would be the first week of the next month's events listed along with the current month's selections. I often don't get the BRG until at least the first week or so into the new month and have missed out on events I would have liked to partake in due to the fact that they're only listed in that month's issue. If I'd been aware of them from the last month's article, I perhaps would have been able to attend/participate.

Happy April wishes, BRG, and thanks for all you do!
