Meet Me In BeavertonTo Serve & ProtectMeet Chief Stacy Jepson, Beaverton Police DepartmentStacy Jepson grew up in a blended family way back when that wasn’t a thing… or at least it didn’t have a name. If you’re a person of a certain age, think Brady Bunch… kind of. Stacy’s mom and dad each brought 3 kids into their marriage. Then they added two more, a boy, Todd, and a couple of years later, Stacy. The older six were all pretty much of another generation by this time, so growing up it was Stacy and Todd, and they enjoyed a pretty good...2024-02-2247 min
Meet Me In BeavertonBirds of a FeatherMeet Chris & Dean Hogan of Chick-fil-A Raleigh HillsWhen you know, you know. Right? That’s what Chris and Dean Hogan both said when asked about how they got together. Now, this wasn’t one of those connections that happened in early elementary school… kind of. And it could never have happened at all. The two did live near each other on the Oregon coast, but Dean is a couple of years older than Chris, and his family moved inland to Vancouver for a while. So the odds were a bit long for them ever meeting. Then, Dean’s...2024-02-0859 min

Meet Me In BeavertonBattling the Big C and a Chamber UpdateAlicia Bermes, President/CEO, Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce.Cancer. There’s no way to really prepare yourself when the doctor lays that news on you. Whether it’s your own diagnosis, or that of a family member or friend, it’s a gut punch. Some folks whither when they get the diagnosis. Others stiffen their spine and lean into it. They say no – not here, not now. When I’ve had family and friends receive the news, thankfully, they’ve inspired me with the grace and grit with which they attacked the situation, though sadly not all were abl...2023-11-3033 min
Meet Me In BeavertonYou Go Where the Road Takes YouMeet Dick Nichols of the Beaverton Oregon History AssociationFor Dick Nichols, growing up on his parents' farm made life pretty simple. During the school year, it was go to school, then chores. Some extra-curriculars like track – he never finished last, by the way, but mostly it was a list of to-dos for him and his two brothers. Then summer came, and it was a full day of work, which might include cleaning the barn or chucking bales of hay onto a truck. For fun, maybe some fishing. Simple. Now, it wasn’t a very social kind of l...2023-11-1630 min
Meet Me In BeavertonHops, Malt, Yeast… It’s That SimpleMeet Josh Johnson of Binary BrewingJosh Johnson’s grandfather, Adolf Leroy, made a simple decision. Instead of getting the milk and bread he went out for back in Nebraska, he hopped on a freight train that landed him in Oregon. If not for that fateful, “simple” decision, we might not have some of the best beer in the area. Like his grandfather, Josh followed his instincts and his need to always be moving and doing throughout his life. Thing is, from the get-go, Josh simply wanted to do everything. Scouts, camp, sports, drama, band, and the...2023-11-021h 02

Meet Me In BeavertonRace Walking Toward a Better CommunityMeet Ashley Hartmeier-Prigg, Beaverton City Council PresidentAt a young age, Ashley Hartmeier-Prigg learned the lessons of hard work. She and her siblings would help out their parents when it came to keeping up the building owned by her grandparents. That, and watching her parents, who came to parenthood early, working hard themselves to keep the lights on. The middle of three kids, Ashley was pretty much a straight arrow. You see she and her sibs grew up in Catholic schools, so as I can attest to, Sr. Mary Holywater is always whispering in your ear. That...2023-08-101h 13
