dents combine love of art, com-
munity, local history and entre-
preneurialism as gracefully as
Bev. The vice president of the
Beaverton Historical Society
helped found the Beaverton
History Center, now a Broad-
way Street focal point, as well
as initiate and design several
new murals gracing downtown
buildings. When not painting
or brightening downtown, Eck-
er tends to seniors at Hearth-
stone Retirement Communi-
ties, which she co-owns, and
champions abused women and
children through the Domestic
Violence Resource Center.

CHUCK WILSON
— The unof-
ficial “Mayor of Broadway
Street” and irrepressible,
30-year proprietor of the Bea-
verton Sub Station, the witty
Wilson is a man who knows. If
Chuck is unaware about a
downtown-related event, con-
troversy or change, it probably
wasn’t that important to begin
with. Don’t be shy about ban-
tering with Wilson while he fe-
verishly assembles subs during
the daily lunch rush — old-
school multi-tasking just comes
naturally to Chuck.

CATHY STANTON
— One of
Beaverton City Council’s most
passionate, inquisitive and lo-
quacious members for 19 years,
Stanton —who will retire her
seat and productive tenure at
the end of the year — is still
asking tough questions related
to fledgling plans for new po-
lice/city courts facilities.

NAME GAME
— Ev-
er wondered how Beaverton
got its name? OK, neither have
most of us. But for those types
who just have to get to the bot-
tom of things, according to the
book “Oregon Geographic
Names” by Lewis L, McArthur,
Beaverton was named — get
this — because of the settle-
ment’s proximity to a large
body of water created beaver
dams. The original village was
known as Chakeipi, meaning
Place of the Beaver, followed by
Beaverdam, before the first-tier
suburb apparently gained a
“ton” of cosmopolitan con-
sciousness (or perhaps more
beavers) to become Beaverton.

HEARING AID?
— The area
of Tualatin Valley that became
Beaverton was originally the
home of a Native American
tribe known as Atfalati, which
settlers inexplicably mispro-
nounced as Tualatin. The At-
falati population dwindled in
the latter part of the 18th cen-
tury, and the once-prosperous
tribe was no longer dominant
in the area when 19th-century
settlers arrived.
